The Fell Dragon who tried to destroy the world in ancient times, but was sealed away by the one with the Divine Dragon's blessing. While the Ylisseans call it the Fell Dragon, the Plegians worship it as a Divine Dragon. According to legend, Grima is gigantic in size. [[spoiler:A thousand years later, Grima is awakened when a suitable vessel is born and the Awakening Ritual is performed. This vessel turns out to be the Avatar (aka you - the player), and in the BadFuture, Validar succeeds in awakening Grima, who possesses you and kills Chrom. In the main story, the present Grima is revived once the Grima from the bad future uses his host Avatar body as a substiture for the real Avatar's, and the two fight Chrom and his army.]]

!!Grima (Gimle)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Grima1_6958.jpg]]
The Fell Dragon who tried to destroy the world in ancient times, but was sealed away by the one with the Divine Dragon's blessing. While the Ylisseans call it the Fell Dragon, the Plegians worship it as a Divine Dragon. According to legend, Grima is gigantic in size. [[spoiler:A thousand years later, Grima is awakened when a suitable vessel is born and the Awakening Ritual is performed. This vessel turns out to be the Avatar (aka you - the player), and in the BadFuture, Validar succeeds in awakening Grima, who possesses you and kills Chrom. In the main story, the present Grima is revived once the Grima from the bad future finally has enough power, and the two fight Chrom and his army.]]

->'''Class:''' Grima

* [[spoiler:AttackItsWeakPoint: If future Grima is defeated, both Grimas can be sealed, or even killed.]]
* [[spoiler:BiggerBad: As Validar is subservient to him and sought to awaken him. Shares the spot with Grima from the bad future later on.]]
* [[spoiler:BondCreatures: In the main story, the class "Grima" is kind of a subtler variation of this. Future Grima can tap into present Grima's power, but if Grima from the BadFuture is defeated, present Grima is defeated as well.]]

* GiantFlyer: Borderline EldritchAbomination. [[spoiler:The entire last stage is fought on his back.]]

!!The Risen
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Risen_chief_7822.png]]

!!Validar (Fauder)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Fauder_167.jpg]]
A sinister mage in service to a dark power - the Fell Dragon Grima, whose coming heralds the end of everything. He is the leader of the Grimleal, a cult that worships the evil dragon. His scheming sets the world on a course to destruction. [[spoiler:He plans to resurrect Grima and is devoted to creating a suitable human vessel for that purpose. Apparently searching for his wife and child who betrayed and left him, as his child was that vessel.]]

During Chapter 6, he tries to assassinate Emmeryn [[spoiler:but fails and is defeated. A mysterious shadow revives him for purposes unknown]].

Chrom, seeking Plegia's help against [[spoiler:Walhart]], discovers that he has become the [[spoiler:new King of Plegia following Gangrel's defeat]].

* YouCantFightFate: "It is already written!" is practically his CatchPhrase. Contrast with Chrom's [[ScrewDestiny "Anything can change!"]]

!!Aversa (Inverse)
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px-Inverse_9855.jpg]]
Gangrel's subordinate. A cunning vixen who leverages her "assets" to lead men to their ruin. She is actually the servant of Validar, as Validar supposedly saved her life in the past. [[spoiler:In the fifth [=SpotPass=] chapter, it is revealed that Validar saving her life is a lie. In reality, he murdered Aversa's parents and brainwashed her to be his servant. She joins Chrom's army afterwards if she survives and fights for atonement, ever since she discovered she had been used by Validar. Bathes longer than anyone else in the army.]]

In the Outrealm, specifically the Champions of Yore DLC, an Aversa which hails from another world has gotten her hands on the Einherjar from Old Hubba, and Chrom has to help him get them back from her.

* HoneyTrap: Her official bio alludes to her doing this, but in one of the DLC chapters we find out she (or rather, she from a different world) pulled this on [[DirtyOldMan Old Hubba]] to get at his collection of summoning cards.
* MagicKnight: One uses [[BladeOnAStick lances]] and [[BlackMagic dark magic]].
** RedMage: Can use normal magic as well.
* [[spoiler:RecurringBoss: But you only fight her twice, one being a late-game chapter, and one being the penultimate chapter before the final chapter. In her [=SpotPass=] Chapter, she is instead just an NPC unit with mirrors of your characters + a mirror of her serving as the opponents.]]
* [[spoiler:TheRival: In contrast to Male Avatar's support, she becomes this to Female Avatar in their supports.]]
* [[spoiler:SecretCharacter]]
* TheTease
* WalkingSpoiler
* UniqueEnemy: A Dark Flier who wields Dark Magic. This is due to a skill: Shadowgift. [[spoiler:She gets to keep it when she joins your team.]]

!!The Hierophant (The Pontifex) [[spoiler:Grima (Gimle)]]

An enigmatic figure known only as the hierophant of Plegia. The Avatar (aka you - the player) has this uncanny feeling that you know this person. The hierophant stands beside Validar and has nothing but cryptic words to say. For reasons unclear, the hierophant knows more about your past than you do... [[spoiler:The reason being that the hierophant ''is'' you, possessed by Grima from the BadFuture. To prevent Lucina's interference, Grima followed her to the past, but the travel through time weakens him and causes him to take your form. As the main story goes on, the future Grima gradually gets stronger until he finally has enough power to revive his present dragon form and the two fight Chrom and his army.]]

->'''Class''': [[spoiler:Tactician]], [[spoiler:Grima in the Final Chapter and Future of Despair Chapter 3.]]
----
* AGodAmI
* [[spoiler:AlternateSelf: He is the Grima from the BadFuture, using that future's Avatar as his vessel.]]
* [[spoiler:AttackItsWeakPoint: Functions as this for present Grima in the final chapter.]]
* [[spoiler:BiggerBad: Is mostly this, but shares the spot with his present form.]]
* [[spoiler:BondCreatures: In the main story, the class "Grima" is kind of a subtler variation of this. Future Grima can tap into present Grima's power, but if Grima from the BadFuture is defeated, present Grima is defeated as well.]]
* [[spoiler:CastingAShadow]]
* CrypticConversation
* [[spoiler:DarkIsEvil]]
** [[spoiler:GodIsEvil: Possesses the Rightful God skill, which makes it more likely for him to activate skills such as Ignis.]]
* [[spoiler: {{Doppelganger}}: Takes of the form of your created Avatar.]]
* [[spoiler:DualBoss: Played with, since you technically fight both Grimas when you enter a battle with him.]]
* [[spoiler:EnemyWithout: The Avatar's.]]
* EnigmaticMinion
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: To the Avatar.]]
* [[spoiler:HumanoidAbomination: Though not really by choice.]]
* [[spoiler:MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Kinda.]]
* [[spoiler:SNKBoss: His class's stat pie chart is almost ''completely maxed out'' sans a noticable bite out of Resistance, and even then it's only a few points lower than his godlike Defense in-battle, meaning the only things that can do any real damage are weapons meant for killing him like the Exalted Falchion. And while on Normal and Hard you can raise units to NoSell his attacks (and possibly damage him with Magic too), don't expect any such mercy on Lunatic or Lunatic+...]]
* [[spoiler:SuperToughness: Has a skill called "Dragonskin" that grants him this, halving damage and negating the Counter and Lethality skills.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Being as cryptic as is, this was inevitable. [[spoiler:Similiar to "Marth", he turns out to be from the bad future. Unfortunately, he is Grima.]]
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:He offers this to the Avatar in the final battle to join him and become a god.]]
