#Uther Fire Emblem

[saijspellhart]

Quick sketch of Uther from Fire Emblem the Blazing Sword (Blade). Hector’s sexy older brother.

I headcanon that he’s in his early to mid thirties, but the stress of being Marquess, raising Hector after their parents passing, and his illness (some fantasy form of TB) has aged him. Making him appear older.

Anyway. This man deserves more love. He’s fucking brilliant.

[kplays]

And that's probably the most we will see of him for awhile. I am glad he is summonable now, and in fact have gotten him!!

He came home!

An expression sketch dump of my son. (My son is older than me, fight me.)

Anyway, I drew these for my Uther x Lyndis fic, We Danced Anyway.

This is Hector’s older Brother, Uther. And bonus Lyn. I’m trying to study Uther’s facial expressions, and facial proportions. It’s a lot of work in progress. The top right sketch was my very first sketch of Uther, (see the whole sketch including his upper body on my blog.) I included it here as a reference to help keep my other sketches on model. I adore this man, help me.

My husband says I should make a sexy body pillow cover of Uther next, and I told him if I did, it would include splotches and speckles of red blood on the sheets next to his head, because he has TB. And it needs to symbolize him accidentally coughing onto the sheets next to him. Husband says that’s both horrible and wonderful. And I am nothing if not devious.

Uther takes to the field

[etymology-of-the-emblem]

Igrene / イグレーヌ, Gorlois / ゴルロイス, and Astolfo / アストール

Igrene (JP: イグレーヌ; rōmaji: igurēnu) is the Guardian of Nabata, taking up the role after her father's death in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. Her husband was a man by the name of Gorlois (JP: ゴルロイス; rōmaji: goruroisu). The names of this couple originate from the Matter of Britain, the medieval works primarily centered on the legendary King Arthur. In these, Gorloïs is said to be the duke of Cornwall (or Tintagel) and husband of the beautiful Igraine. When the newly-crowned King Uther first laid eyes upon Igraine in his court, be became madly infatuated with her. Though she rejected his advances and promptly returned to Cornwall with Gorloïs, Uther refused to take no for an answer. He waged war against Cornwall, sieging the castles of Tintagel, where Igraine retreated to, and Terrabil, where Gorloïs took up arms. While the duke of Cornwall fell at the hand of Uther's men, the king of the Britons infiltrated Tintagel under a veil of magic from the wizard Merlin, giving him Gorloïs' appearance. Uther took advantage of this opportunity and laid with the target of his obsession, and later would take Igraine for his wife. From this terrible union, King Arthur was born.

Though nothing as drastic as the story of Igraine and Gorloïs is seen in the Fire Emblem characters bearing their names, the estranged relationship between Igrene and Gorlois is most likely inspired by the legends. Even Gorlois leaving his wife was sparked by conflict closing in on their home, though according to Igrene it was mere bandits.

After leaving Nabata, Gorlois took up the name Astolfo instead. This name comes from a different assortment of legends: the Matter of France, or the stories surrounding Charlemagne, King of the Franks, and his Twelve Peers. In many of these tales, Astolfo—or Estout in the original French—was the name of one of the Twelve Peers. He allegedly was the son of King Otto of England and cousin of the hero Roland. Most depictions of Astolfo have him take a more minor and comedic role, characterizing him as a beautiful and nimble prince, though conceited and plagued with ill-luck. It is possible that the thief by the name of Astolfo gets his class from the legendary Astolfo's role in Orlando Furioso. In this tale, Astolfo defeats two thieves: the giant Caligorante and the nigh-immortal Orillo single-handedly. It is also in this story that Astolfo ventures across the world and to the moon in a quest to reclaim Orlando's (Roland's) sanity and reason. That said, as far as my research goes, there are not any strong parallels between the characters.

In the original Japanese, Astolfo's name is アストール (rōmaji: asutōru), officially romanized as Astore. There are a handful of interpretations to this name. If wanting to relate to the Matter of Britain like the character's other name, you could view it as a reference to Astor of Panfatis, a count appearing in...a single line of the German story Parzival. If you instead expect it to be derived from the Matter of France, Austore is the name of a duke of Valence who dies alongside Roland at Roncevaux Pass in The Song of Roland. Much like Astor, however, he is named once in all the work.

More likely than naught, アストール is another name for the paladin Astolfo. Of course, in Japanese Astolfo is rendered as アストルフォ(rōmaji: asutorufo), though I have some claims (primarily amongst those in the Fate/ fandom) that the rendering used for Fire Emblem's Astolfo is a less-common option. It seems to be derived from Estoult or Estouls, less common renderings of Astolfo's name in French work works.

Fire Emblem Engage Xenologue

The Emblem Bracelet of Firene: The Brash General

In the Xenologue, the Emblem Bracelet entrusted to Firene is Hector; The Brash General. It could be argued that Hector's experiences in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade make him the perfect Emblem to represent the country. 

The first experience that connects Hector to the royalty of Firene; Alfred and Celine, is the death of a parent from illness. Hector's parents both died of disease and a similar fate struck his brother; Uther. Alfred and Celine's father died from illness as well. Hector shares the grief and experience of what it feels like to lose family to illness with the two royals.

Xenologue Firene’s citizens are known for being warmongering and quick to anger. In Xenologue Chapter 2: Seeds of Unrest, Alfred is seen being easily angered by his sister's suggestions about Nel and Nil turning people into the Corrupted. In response he threatens to set Alear free by killing them. At the start of his journey Hector let his emotions get the best of him such as when Leila is killed by the Black Fang, he goes to kill all of them because he doesn't know the individual responsible. He also lashed out at Oswin for keeping his brother's death a secret, despite the fact that he was under strict orders to do so. 

Xenologue Alfred and Hector both had strong bonds with the main protagonist of their respective worlds. Xenologue Alfred had a strong bond with Xenologue Alear. His dying words in Xenologue Chapter 6: Seven Bracelets, reveal his relief at being able to join his friend in a beautiful field of flowers. Hector had a strong bond with Eliwood, the pair became blood brothers by shaking cut hands. They constantly sparred together and Eliwood would often be the one to cool Hector's temper. 

The Bracelet of The Brash General: Hector is a defensive Emblem; anyone who wears the bracelet is given improved defence and resistance. A defensive Emblem might seem a strange pick for a warmongering country. His buffs to the defence and resistance allow the attacker to aggressively attack without the concern about being hurt.
