Last week we (re)introduced Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ trio of lead characters: Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. These three serve as marquee members of the titular Houses’ nobility, but we’ve now been introduced to those working beside them, both within their home borders and at the Officer’s Academy.
Please note that these are coming from the Japanese account, so some of the names, terms, and details may change in the localization process. With that, onward!
黒鷲の学級
ヒューベルト
CV：小西克幸
黒鷲の学級の参謀役。
幼少時からエーデルガルトに仕えるベストラ侯爵家の嫡子。彼女の邪魔をするものを排除するためであれば、どのような手段も厭わない。
エーデルガルト曰く、冷徹だが筋の通った人物。 #FE風花雪月 pic.twitter.com/WIc629mbJ8— 『ファイアーエムブレム』総合 (@FireEmblemJP) May 6, 2019
First is Hubert, a member of the Black Eagles within the academy and longtime servant of Edelgard. He seems a stern individual by appearances, but is noted to be honorable and a key tactician for his lord and land.
青獅子の学級
ドゥドゥー
CV：高橋英則
王国の北西、ダスカー地方出身の平民で、ディミトリの従者を務める。
ディミトリには深い恩義があり、己の身に代えても守り抜くと決意している。
強面で寡黙なため誤解されやすいが、温和で気の良い青年。 #FE風花雪月 pic.twitter.com/XNP54vqAKC— 『ファイアーエムブレム』総合 (@FireEmblemJP) May 8, 2019
Next is Duodo, member of the Blue Lions house and a couple misplaced keystrokes away from a two-headed bird Pokémon. He is indebted to Dimitri, and keeps his calm, gentle self hidden behind a stoic exterior.
金鹿の学級
ローレンツ
CV：渡辺紘
グロスタール伯爵家の嫡男。
気障な言動が目立つものの根は真面目であり、名門貴族としての誇りと責任を自覚している。
修道院内の複数の女性にアプローチしているらしいが、成果のほどは芳しくないようだ。 #FE風花雪月 pic.twitter.com/2gFRI1xwHp— 『ファイアーエムブレム』総合 (@FireEmblemJP) May 10, 2019
Last for the new students is Lorentz, another member of the Leicester Alliance nobility alongside Claude and fellow member of Golden Deer house. Described as something of a snob and a skirtchaser, he’s no less aware as his responsibilities as a noble.
It’s not just students who were introduced though, as a few other supporting characters got a bit of attention last week as well.
ジェラルト
CV：大塚明夫
主人公の父。かつてセイロス騎士団で団長を務め、歴代最強の騎士とまで謳われた熟練の戦士。騎士団を離れてからは傭兵団を率いて旅を続けていた。妻は既に他界している。
盗賊から生徒たちを救ったことが転機となり、再び騎士団に身を置くことになる。 #FE風花雪月 pic.twitter.com/rvzTP5kqzd— 『ファイアーエムブレム』総合 (@FireEmblemJP) May 4, 2019
Jeralt, for example, was a former legendary member of the Knights of Seiros, allegedly their strongest ever. He also happens to be your avatar character’s father, and is currently the leader of a band of mercenaries. Anyone who’s played Path of Radiance will find that oddly familiar; though unlike Ike’s father, Greil, he’ll be returning to his former fealty early on in the game.
レア
CV：井上喜久子
セイロス聖教会の最高指導者である大司教。ジェラルトが騎士団に属していた頃から同じ地位に就いていた。
主人公の資質を高く評価し、士官学校に招き入れる。
慈母のように穏やかに人々と接するが、教会に刃向かう者には容赦なく裁きを下す厳格な一面も併せ持つ。 #FE風花雪月 pic.twitter.com/h2kRK95ltW— 『ファイアーエムブレム』総合 (@FireEmblemJP) May 5, 2019
Finally there’s Rhea, archbishop of the Church of Seiros. It’s she who notes your character’s ability and invites them into the monastery, and she’s known for her calm demeanor. That grace doesn’t extend to those who defy the clergy though; and if Fire Emblem games have taught me anything in the past, it’s that the combination could potentially spell trouble.
That and other speculative bits will have to wait though, as we move onward to Three Houses’ July 26th release. Be on the lookout for even more character reveals and information, especially with E3 and Nintendo’s presentation for the show just a month away.
