Fire Emblem Elibe/Characters/Blazing Sword/Neutral Parties

Lord Uther of Ostia
The Marquess of Ostia and head of the Lycian League, and Hector's elder brother. Despite being tied up in the business of maintaining Lycia in the face of potential trouble from Bern, compounded by his ailing health brought on by sheer stress, he assists Hector and Eliwood where he can.

"Class: General"


 * Aloof Big Brother: To Hector, to a degree.
 * Badass: So implied, if the fact that seasoned mercenaries with Undying Loyalty to their employer are willing to completely abandon their contract on the main characters rather than face him is any indication.
 * The Chains of Commanding: Lampshaded by Hector several times - Uther needs to make a good impression in order to avoid conflict with opportunistic foreigners, hence why Uther is only able to aid the army discreetly.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars
 * Promotion to Parent
 * Reasonable Authority Figure
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Hector's red.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: He's stoic and snarky to Hector's more hot-blooded nature.
 * The Stoic
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Runs in the family after all.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Runs in the family after all.

Leila
An Ostian spy tasked with infiltrating and observing the Black Fang.

"Class: Thief"


 * Faux Action Girl: Used for drama.
 * Heroes Want Redheads: Matthew sure does.
 * Hot Amazon
 * Peek-a-Bangs
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning & Evil Redhead: Both implied, and then brilliantly subverted. After seizing the gates of Castle Caelin, Ephidel and calls Leila in to, after which he commends her for being skilled despite her novelty to the group (all of which she seems to take in stride). When the next chapter is finished by seizing the Caelin throne, Leila appears before the group to reveal  and is recognised by Hector as a loyal Ostian spy and an ally.

Lord Elbert of Pherae
Eliwood's father, the current Marquess of Pherae. His strange disappearance prompts Eliwood's expedition, and his actions throw Nergal's plans off-balance.

"Class: Peer (dummy cutscene data) / Paladin (map narration appearance)"


 * Badass:
 * Certain implications about him take his Badass to almost Beyond the Impossible levels. Firstly, Nergal's plan to use Darin to embroil Lycia in war had the goal of obtaining massive amounts of quintessence from the dead, so Nergal could . Elbert is his backup plan should this fail. Yes, Elbert apparently has enough Life Energy in him to rival a good slice of an entire country. It gets better. People who have their quintessence taken typically keel over dead on the spot; even supreme badasses such as can only hang on long enough to deliver some Famous Last Words. Elbert?.
 * Badass Moustache
 * Blue Eyes
 * Disappeared Dad
 * Nice Guy: Like father, like son.
 * Nobles Who Actually Do Something
 * Redheaded Hero

Lady Eleanora of Pherae
Eliwood's mother and Elbert's wife.

"Class: Bishop"


 * The High Queen
 * Hot Mom: Looks barely older than her son.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Woman in White

Lord Helman of Santaruz
The Marquess of Santaruz. Initially entranced by Ephidel and Darin's plans, he comes to realise the horror of what he's doing and attempts to back out.


 * Expy: Of from Fire Emblem 4. How so?
 * Like a Son to Me: What Eliwood was to him.

Prince Zephiel of Bern
"Class: Prince"


 * The Ace
 * Beware the Nice Ones
 * Hair of Gold
 * Late Arrival Spoiler:
 * Nice Guy:
 * The Unfavorite: To Desmond, since he's born from his extremely unhappy marriage to Hellene.
 * : Would you believe that this gentle, kind-hearted young prince who dotes on his little half-sister -- her illegitimacy aside -- and on the eve of his coming-of-age ceremony day only wishes for his entire family to live together in happiness (not only his parents and sister, but Guinevere's mother as well) would eventually ?
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: Too bad his dad was an asshole.
 * Wide Eyed Idealist
 * The White Prince: Too bad that
 * Wide Eyed Idealist
 * The White Prince: Too bad that

Princess Guinevere of Bern

 * Children Are Innocent
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heir Club for Men
 * Heroic Bastard: Daughter of Desmond and his mistress.
 * The Unfavorite: To her stepmother Hellene.

King Desmond of Bern

 * Abusive Parent: To Zephiel.
 * Beard of Evil
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Freudian Excuse: He has an ace son and ideal heir from an unwanted, legitimate marriage who he envies, and the woman he does love can not only be a mere mistress, but bore him a daughter. Yes, it's just as weak and pathetic an excuse as it sounds. No wonder fans despise him.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: His envy of the prodigal son is indicated to be a big motivator for his odious behavior. See the rest under Star-Crossed Lovers.
 * Hate Sink: For a character who appears in all of two scenes in this game and is a Posthumous Character in the next, he's probably one of the most despicable characters in the game, quite possibly due to the fact that, unlike even the rest of the setting's nastiest specimens, he has no Evil Is Cool points whatsoever. In fact, he's a huge loser. He's probably rivaled only by Lundgren in the fandom wrath he receives.
 * Jerkass
 * Kick the Dog: His first villain act is ordering to have the baby fox that Zephiel got as a gift for Guinevere killed.
 * One-Scene Wonder: Appears in all of two scenes, but he leaves a lasting impression, and it's not a pretty one.
 * Parental Favoritism: Loves Guinevere, hates Zephiel
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: Fuuin explains that the rest of his bitterness comes from how he and the girl he loved were never allowed to marry. Then came a certain Arranged Marriage with Hellene, and how ... and well, It Got Worse.
 * Star-Crossed Lovers: Fuuin explains that the rest of his bitterness comes from how he and the girl he loved were never allowed to marry. Then came a certain Arranged Marriage with Hellene, and how ... and well, It Got Worse.

Hannah

Fargus
"Class: Berserker"


 * A Father to His Men
 * An Axe to Grind
 * Badass Beard
 * Badass Grandpa
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Gameplay and Story Segregation: Most likely in play during his Bonus Chapter - why would he offer free passage, and the young lordlings accept it, otherwise?
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: When Eliwood asks for passage to Valor, he first asks for 100,000 gold to test him and Hector. Then, as a test of virtue and determination, he arranges for them to fight through all his men (most likely without any real fatalities or hostility) before offering them passage for free. As Dart says, he's "a tad off-kilter".
 * Nonstandard Game Over: If you defy all advice to the contrary and attack him in his gaiden chapter. He can also be killed, but he's so powerful (level 18 promoted) that you'd have to go to a whole lot of trouble to pull it off.
 * Lord British Postulate
 * Pirate: Type 2

Eubans
"Class: Paladin"


 * Anti-Villain
 * Badass Beard
 * Face Death With Dignity: "I have no regrets... my life and death... are my own!"
 * Kick the Dog: He was willing to do unsavoury things in order to ensure his mens' survival, and openly insulted Heath for his principles.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Laus, apparently.

Sealen
"Class: Nomad"


 * Horse Archer
 * Palette Swap: Of Oleg.

Georg
The lingering spirit of a soldier once in the service of Roland of the Eight Legends, who was tasked with guarding Durandal.

"Class: Berserker"

 * Unfinished Business: Guarding Durandal.

Kaim
The lingering spirit of a soldier once in the service of Durban of the Eight Legends, who was tasked with guarding Armads.

"Class: Hero"


 * An Axe to Grind: Kind of unusual - while axes are available to the Hero class and pretty much every Hero boss uses them in addition to swords, it's rare for them to be the preferred weapon of Hero bosses, never mind their only one.
 * Palette Swap: Of Georg.
 * Punch Clock Villain: Switch "Durandal" with "Armads" and it's the same.
 * Unfinished Business: Guarding Armads.

Lady Madelyn of Caelin
Lyndis's mother, and the daughter of Lord Hausen.


 * Blue Eyes: Never seen, but this is most likely the case since they were stated to match both Lyn and Hausen's eyes.

 * Posthumous Character

 * Papa Wolf: Lyn describes
 * Posthumous Character

Natalie
Dorcas's wife.

"Class: Civilian"


 * Damsel in Distress: Well, if you're an untrained and ill civilian woman, what do you expect to happen?
 * Happily Married - Huge Guy, Tiny Girl - Victorious Childhood Friend: With her husband Dorcas.
 * Ill Girl: Her leg has been giving her trouble ever since she was a little girl, hence why Dorcas desperately needs money for her medical treatment.
 * Plucky Girl: The woman left her home with a bad leg and all to try disuading her hubby from his apparent Face Heel Turn. That takes guts.
 * Silk Hiding Steel: Steel guts.

Warning: Final chapter spoilers follow.
