History Fridge / FireEmblemWarriors

* The BigBad of ''Fire Emblem Warriors'' is named Velezark in English. Velezark's name is a clever reference to almost all of the BigBad dragons who have come before him. The root of his name, Veles, is one of the most important gods in Characters/SlavicMythology, and his domains include magic, water, and earth. This connects him to three other dragons — [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Idunn the]] [[{{Mana}} Mage Dragon]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Anankos the]] [[MakingASplash Silent Dragon]], and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Med]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem eus]] [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE the]] [[DishingOutDirt Earth Dragon]]. Veles was known to be a {{Troll}} and a {{Jerkass}} who spent much of his time being a complete nuisance to Perun, another one of the top gods of the Slavic pantheon. This ties into Velezark's title of "Chaos Dragon". Furthermore, the "-ark" at the end of "Velezark" means that it's a portmanteau of "Veles" and "dark" — "dark" as in Medeus (again), [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Loptyr]], and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Grima]]. The only two FinalBoss dragons left out of the Velezark reference party are [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Duma]] and the nameless [[PlayingWithFire Fire Dragon]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', and neither of those two were exactly evil (though they were definitely dangerous enough [[ShootTheDog to need putting down]]) — the former had good intentions that [[GoneHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong]] at every turn, while the latter was explicitly stated to just be taking an opportunity to visit Elibe, unaware that it would be threatening the native inhabitants just by being there. So, in summary, Velezark's name is a reference to almost the entirety of the Medeus archetype (well, the dragons of the archetype, anyway) from the ''Fire Emblem'' games up to ''Warriors''.

* Fredrick's stat spread makes a lot of sense knowing his archetype of a crutch chracter; his high strength/def lends to being strong early game where characters have yet to learn the various skills that use Skl/Spd/Luk, but as others learn such skills, they'll leave him in the dust.

** To the counter, though, it may also mitigate a succession crisis. As an example, whichever ruler has a child first, that child is the first claimant to the throne. However, should that not be feasible, (say, due to reluctance (like Rowen), then the second-born child can be crowned without concerns of bloodline.
