Fire Emblem Elibe/Characters/Sword of Seals

< Fire Emblem Elibe‎ | Characters


The sixth game in the Fire Emblem series, the first one in the Elibe time, the first one for the GBA, and the last one to not be released in the west.[1] The game is set twenty years before its prequel Blazing Sword, and as such features several characters from said game and even more relatives thereof. It features an even larger playable cast than Blazing Sword and was the first Fire Emblem to introduce the popular support conversations.

A leader of a band of Mercenaries hired by Marquiss Eliwood to serve Roy. Also was a gladiator in the past.

  • Badass
  • Big Brother Mentor: To Klein.
  • Big Fucking Sword: Starts with an Iron Blade and shows it in his artwork. While any character skilled enough with swords can use the "blade" weapons, Dieck is the only character (except maybe Perceval) able to use them effectively due to his high Constitution score.
  • [[Crutch Character]: Often considered a second Jeigan on Hard mode for how solid his bases are. His growths aren't great however, making him fall off by the middle of the game.
  • Expy: Of Ogma.
  • Jack of All Stats
  • Lightning Bruiser: Though his resistance could use some work, all his stats are very high, especially his HP.
    • Master of None: On Hard mode however, his growth rates aren't enough to be considered "good" by the standards needed for Hard mode.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene

Chad

 
 

Class: Thief

 

A young man from a orphanage on the Lycia-Bern border, he has a strong dislike of Bern.

  • Fragile Speedster: He's a thief, so...
  • Revenge: For the Orphanage of Love where he lived in, which was destroyed by the Bern Army. Seen the most in his supports with Ellen, which force him to think twice about his feelings about the deal.

Class: Myrmidon

 

A mysterious swordsman who served as a mercenary for Erik, before switching sides to Roy.

  • Badass Long Hair
  • But Not Too Foreign: Half Bern, half Sacaean. His Bernese looks get him spared from the Bulgar Massacre, as the armies mistake him for a Bern citizen.
  • Expy: Of Nabarl; particularly notable in that he's the first ever playable outright Myrmidon,[2] the class effectively spawned by Nabarl's unusual-for-a-Mercenary build.
  • Fragile Speedster --> Glass Cannon: As with all Myrmidons and Swordmasters, though his hard mode bonuses and low standards of his game mean he's actually pretty middle of the road in durability.
  • Sole Survivor (From Bulgar.)
