Playable characters from the first generation

Sigurd

Sigurd (シグルド Shigurudo, also known as Siglud in the Japanese version[1] and Zigludo in the 1996 Nintendo Power Issue.[2]) is the son of Vylon and a descendant of Baldur, one of the twelve Jugdral Crusaders. He eventually inherits the Tyrfing, Baldur's sword, from his father. Ethlyn is his younger sister, and her marriage to Quan of Leonster makes him his brother-in-law as well as his best friend. Sigurd is the prince of Chalphy Castle of the Kingdom of Grannvale. He leads an invasion of Verdane when Adean is kidnapped from Jungby Castle, during which he meets his wife, Deirdre, and instantly falls in love with her. He then leads an invasion and occupation of Agustria after his friend Eldigan is imprisoned there. During the occupation his son Seliph is born. Sigurd is accused of treason against Grannvale and is forced to take refuge in Silesse. He returns to Grannvale later, eliminating the lords that put the blames on him, only to be killed in Arvis' plan. His son Seliph takes over in Chapter 6 of the game, finishing what he started.

According to the end of Chapter 6, Sigurd was well loved by many people of Jugdral continent. Oifey calls him a "kindhearted man" when he rescues Shanan at Genoa Castle in Chapter 1. King Mananan of Isaach often looked to Sigurd's father Vylon for advice. When Sigurd was younger and training to be a knight, he met Quan of Leonster and Eldigan of Nordion of whom he quickly befriended. One night, they made a pact to each other, saying that they would always assist each other's dukedoms in times of desperate need.

They are Midayle, Azel, Dew, and Jamke. She's a gentle, sweet, but still strong-willed young woman who was supposed to become a warrior, but preferred to become a cleric instead since she knew she wouldn't be able to kill people, preferring to aid her friends instead.

She bears Lana and Lester.

At the onset of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu her older brother Mariccle was king of Isaach. Mariccle was prepared for death when his sister Ayra went into exile with his son Shanan to the Kingdom of Verdane to escape the Isaachian-Grannvaleian War and to preserve the main branch of the Odo bloodline in the occasion of his death. Upon arrival to Verdane, she and Shanan were taken hostage; being a swordwoman, Ayra had no choice but to work as a mercenary for Genoa castle to protect Shanan. She was presumed dead during the game's ending, but it is unconfirmed whether she died in truth by the game's ending. She is predestined with Arden, Holyn, or Lex.

He serves as Seliph's advisor in Seliph's tale. In Chapter 4, he goes back to Silesse castle, and his mother Rahna gives him the legendary tome Forseti. He is really protective to Julia in the second half of the game. After the battle of Belhalla, Lewyn is killed by Manfroy (shown in the opening, after the game is finished several times), but Forseti resurrected him, at the cost of several parts of his memories, which would explain his behavior in the second part of the game.

Sylvia (シルヴィア Shiruvia) is purported to be a noblewoman of Edda, Grannvale. She is a descendant of Blagi.

Tailto

Tailto (ティルテュ Tirutyu) is born from the main house of Freege, one of the Dukedoms of Grannvale. Her father is Reptor, who held a high position in the Empire (but felt it undermined, due to him being power hungry). The house of Freege descended from the Crusader Tordo, and specializes in Thunder Magic, with their special weapon the Mjölnir Tome. Tailto couldn't use it, since she didn't have a major Tordo Blood within her (she has minor); Reptor had the tome at the time of Sigurd's campaign and gave it to her elder brother, Bloom. Other than him, Tailto also has a sibling named Ethnia. After surviving the Battle of Belhalla, she and her daughter Tinny lose contact with Tailto's son Artur and go to live with Bloom, where Tailto withstands for years the abuse of her sister-in-law Hilda to protect little Tinny. She ultimately dies of illness and depression, a cruel fate considering that she used to be a cheerful, headstrong girl. She is predestined with Claude, Azel and Lewyn.

She was abducted by pirates at the age of five and raised as the daughter of their captain in Orgahil, north of Agustria.

Non-playable characters

Eldigan

Eldigan (エルトシャン Erutoshan, also known as Eltshan in the Japanese version[21]) is the King of Nordion and descendant of Hezul. As a direct descendant of Hezul, he is able to use the legendary Demon Sword, Mystletainn. He attended the Royal Academy of Belhalla with Sigurd and Quan. He also is a friend of Beowulf. He has a younger sister named Raquesis. His wife Grahnye was from Leonster. In Chapter 1, he backs up Sigurd after either Genoa or Marpha is conquered, as Elliot attempts to take Evans Castle. In chapter 3, if Raquesis talks to him, he will give her the Earth Sword, then return to Silvail and get killed.

Arvis

Arvis (アルヴィス Aruvisu, also known as Alvis in the Japanese version[22]) is the Emperor of the Grannvaleian Empire. He is the son of Victor, the womanizing duke of Velthomer, and Cigyun of the Verdane Spirit Forest, and is the paternal half-brother of Azel. He is of Val descent on the paternal side and of Loptyr descent on the maternal side. At the end of Chapter 5, Sigurd and his army fall into a fatal trap set by Arvis. Some of Sigurd's army survived the trap, but it is unclear who the survivors are. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 confirms that Raquesis, Brigid, Lewyn and some others survived the trap. Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu also confirms that Adean is still alive at the time of Chapter 6 (which picks up 17 years after Chapter 5), and that she now works in the Tirnanog abbey in the Kingdom of Isaach.

In the second half of the game, Arvis ends up realizing that he was being used by Manfroy as a pawn, as his son Julius becomes the incarnation of Loptyr and spreads a reign of terror throughout Jugdral despite Arvis' own objections. Arvis perishes in Seliph's hands in revenge of Sigurd. Despite his past actions, Seliph himself judges that many of Arvis' actions and ideals, though skewed, were well-intended, and that he doesn't deserve to be demonised by history, Although in Fire Emblem Awakening, Chrom claimed every Jugdrali story he had heard portrayed Arvis in a negative view, referring to him as "the villain of every Jugdrali saga I've ever heard"

Arvis is available as an extra character in Fire Emblem Awakening via SpotPass function.

Manfroy

He is the archbishop of the Loptyr Sect, who strives to revive the Dark Lord Loptyr, and is also the mastermind behind the Holy War and the Isaachian-Grannvaleian War. He kidnaps and brainwashes Deirdre in Chapter 3 and sends her for her half-brother Arvis to find so he can marry her. Manfroy manipulates Arvis and offers the dark tome of Loptyr to Julius later on in the game. It seems he views the days of the Holy War in a different light to everyone else, as he is clearly striving to bring them about again.

In the final chapter, Manfroy brainwashes Julia just like he did to Deirdre, but Seliph eventually saves her when he kills Manfroy for the one being responsible for his parents' sorrows. He was also responsible for the assassination of Ayra's father King Mananan, with the use of Reptor the duke of Freege.

Travant

Travant (also known as Trabant in the Japanese version[23]) is the King of Thracia. He is shown to be ruthless and uncaring, due to the upbringing of Thracia's harsh nature. Though he comes off as a despicable man, his biggest wish is to make his people prosper and happy, regardless whether his actions will bring him to hell. He raises Altena so he can utilize the Gáe Bolg; it is also insinuated that he cares for her because of his unrequited love for Ethlyn, Altena's mother, who married Quan. After passing the Kingdom of Thracia and Gungnir to Areone, his son, he goes to his final battle and dies there.

Bloom

Reptor's eldest son. He is shown to be a ruthless ruler. Despite ignoring Hilda's torture of his sister Tailto, he is one of the people that cares for Teeny. He is defeated for good in Manster, after handing over the Mjölnir tome to his daughter Ishtar.

Hilda

Bloom's wife. She is a power hungry, sadistic woman who takes pleasure in committing evil things, including torturing both Tailto and Teeny and supporting Julius' child hunt propaganda. She pressures Ishtar to marry Julius, to give her a higher position in the Empire by granting her a link with the Emperor.

Julius

Julius (ユリウス Yuriusu, also known as Yurius in the Japanese version[24]) is the son of Arvis and Deirdre, the twin brother of Julia, and the younger half brother of Seliph. He serves as the primary antagonist and final boss of the second half of the game, due to Manfroy manipulating him into becoming possessed by his ancestor Loptyr. Julius implements the brutal Child Hunt, a major theme of both the second half of Seisen no Keifu and Thracia 776. He is in love with Ishtar, who seems to be the only person he cares about, and becomes jealous of any other man who pays attention to her.

Ishtar

Ishtar (イシュタル Ishutaru) is the eldest daughter of Bloom and Hilda. Despite her mother's abuse towards Teeny, Ishtar cares for her and becomes one of her best friends. She is in love with Julius, though she is against his child hunt propaganda. She makes her last stand in Belhalla, fighting for her love and perishes.
