*Duke Oswald von Riegan <small>(grandfather)</small>

'''Claude von Riegan''' (pronounced {{IPA|'klɔd vɒn 'ɹigən}}; Japanese: {{hl|クロード＝フォン＝リーガン|Kurōdo fon rīgan}} ''Claude von Regan''), real name '''Khalid''' (Japanese: {{hl|カリード|Karīdo}} ''Khalid''),<ref>{{cite web|quote='''Kusakihara:''' As you've guessed, "Claude" is an alias... his actual name is "Khalid".|url=https://serenesforest.net/2020/03/24/three-houses-nintendo-dream-interview-reveals-first-route-claudes-real-name/|title=Nintendo Dream May 2020 Issue|site=translated by Serenes Forest|published=March 21, 2020|retrieved=March 25, 2020}}</ref> is one of the three main characters, alongside [[Dimitri]] and [[Edelgard]],<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Your protagonist meets three main characters—Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude—who play important roles in the story.|url=https://www.rpgsite.net/news/7332-fire-emblem-three-houses-revealed-for-nintendo-switch|title=Fire Emblem: Three Houses revealed for Nintendo Switch|site=rpgsite.net }}</ref> appearing in {{FE16}}. He is the heir of the noble family that leads the Leicester Alliance and the leader of the Golden Deer house at the Officers Academy.

If Byleth chooses to lead the Black Eagles and then chooses to stay with Rhea and the church and go against Edelgard, they will lead a resistance army to stop the Empire and rescue Rhea. Once the army receives troops from Judith at the Valley of Torment, she gives Byleth a letter from Claude. In the letter, he states that he "doesn't know exactly why, but he feels that he can trust them". He tells Byleth that in order to invade the Empire, they must go east and take the Great Bridge of Myrddin, with him distracting House Gloucester's troops so that the resistance army can pass through their territory along the way. By taking the bridge, House Gloucester won't be able to receive the Empire's aid, benefiting Claude's position in the war as well as giving the resistance army a foothold to invade the Empire. After the resistance army takes the bridge, the Alliance engages in a three-way battle with the Empire and the Kingdom at Gronder Field, resulting in massive casualties for the Alliance as well as Claude going missing. Some of the students believe that he is alive somewhere, and it can be deduced from the Verdant Wind route that the somewhere where he is alive would be in Almyra.

Claude presses forward into the Empire and takes Fort Merceus, but the fort is annihilated by "javelins of light" launched by a group known only as "those who slither in the dark". He invades the Imperial capital of Enbarr and successfully kills Edelgard, ending the war. Afterwards, Edelgard's retainer [[Hubert]] posthumously informs Claude of those who slither in the dark's intentions and the location of their base at Shambhala, an advanced underground city on the east coast of Fódlan on the border between Adrestia and Leicester. Claude besieges Shambhala and kills the leader of those who slither in the dark, [[Thales]], but Thales manages to resurrect the ancient Liberation King [[Nemesis]] before dying. Nemesis raises an undead army and goes on a rampage towards Garreg Mach, but Claude and Byleth kill him and bring peace to Fódlan once and for all. In the aftermath, Claude leaves rulership of the newly formed United Kingdom of Fódlan to Byleth and returns to Almyra to become its king.

==Endings==

Claude returned to his homeland of Almyra and assumed the role of a politically active prince. After inheriting the throne, he worked to improve relations with Fódlan. In addition to establishing new trade routes, he fostered trust by sending reinforcements into Fódlan to help quell revolts by the remnants of the Imperial loyalists. Under his guidance, the peoples of Fódlan and Almyra were finally able to set aside age-old prejudices, and over time, the fallacies of old were all but forgotten.

 

 

 

'''Claude, King of Unification & Annette, Bloomed Overachiever'''<br>

Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra with Annette, whom he intended to marry. He announced this fact to his father, the king of Almyra, who approved of Claude's growth and Annette's wisdom and resolved to entrust the monarchy to them. Once he became king, Claude established a school of sorcery with the intent to use it as a bridge between Almyra and Fódlan. Annette took on a role as headmaster, supporting Claude's dream by opening the doors to students from every corner of the world. Relations between Almyra and Fódlan improved drastically as a result.

 

'''Claude, King of Unification & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight'''<br>

 

 

'''Claude, King of Unification & Lysithea, Scholar of Misfortune'''<br>

Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra to reclaim his place as heir to the throne. When he became king, he asked Lysithea to be his queen with a heart full of love, and with the hope of fostering friendly diplomatic relations with Fódlan. Due to her shortened lifespan, Lysithea declined. Claude, unable to abandon his love for her, gave up the throne to go on a quest for a means to save her. Years later, he appeared suddenly before her, claiming to have found a cure. With her trust and love to guide him, he whisked her away, across the sea. It is unknown where they went.

'''Claude, King of Unification & Hilda, Free Spirit'''<br>

Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra to take his place as heir to the throne. His family saw that he had grown strong and allowed him to claim his birthright. When he became king several years later, he made the surprise announcement that he would make Hilda his queen. Having studied with her brother to prepare for this moment, Hilda demonstrated an uncanny talent for diplomacy, and greatly contributed to establishing friendly relations between Fódlan and Almyra. The presence of a Fódlan-born queen for two consecutive generations did much to alter Almyran values.

'''Claude, King of Unification & Leonie, The Blade Breaker II'''<br>

Leonie returned to Sauin Village to repay her debts and mysteriously vanished afterwards. Some years later, when trade between Fódlan and Almyra began in earnest, the village received notice that the Almyran king would be passing through on his way to Garreg Mach. The village rushed to prepare themselves. When the anticipated day arrived, they were shocked to find Leonie at the king's side. She had gone to visit Claude in Almyra, and had ended up staying to become his queen. Faced with the sight of Leonie in the resplendent clothing of a monarch, her father and the other villagers could do nothing but stand in mute amazement.

'''Claude, King of Unification & Flayn, Slumbering Princess'''<br>

Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra to reclaim his place as heir to the throne. Several years later, when he became king, he took initial steps to open diplomatic relations with Fódlan, and asked Garreg Mach for aid. During this time, he was reunited with Flayn, who had been helping Seteth run the church. She agreed to help, and as they worked together to secure friendly relations between their respective regions, they fell deeply in love. It is said that Seteth never learned of their relationship.

'''Claude, King of Unification & Flayn, Slumbering Princess''' (Seteth died)<br>

'''Claude, King of Unification & Shamir, Distant Archer'''<br>

After the war, Claude returned home to Almyra and took his place in the royal family. Some years later he became king, and during his reign, promoted policies to improve relations with Fódlan and protect children who had been orphaned by the war. After he achieved his goals, he left the throne to a family member and left Almyra. During his travels, he encountered Shamir, who had been wandering the world as a mercenary. It is known that they traveled together from that day forward, but where they journeyed to remains a mystery.

'''Claude, King of Unification & Balthus, King of Grappling'''<br>

Perhaps unexpectedly, Balthus accompanied Claude upon his return to his homeland of Almyra. While Claude assumed the role of a politically active prince, Balthus spent his days drinking, flirting, and brawling. As soon as Claude inherited the throne, however, all that changed. In the blink of an eye, Balthus became son-in-law to the great commander, Nader, and took up a position of military command in service to Claude's stated goal to improve relations with Fódlan. To foster trust, Claude frequently sent Balthus into Fódlan on missions to help quell revolts begun by Imperial loyalists.

Do you think you can beat Teach and the [[Sword of the Creator]]?<br>'''Thales:''' The Sword of the Creator... The blade given to [[Nemesis]]. Who do you really think is superior?<br>'''Claude:''' There's a big difference between the living and the dead. The fate of the future lies in the hands of the living!|Claude, fighting [[Thales]], in [[The City Without Light/Stand Strong at Shambhala|Verdant Wind Chapter 21]].}}

{{quote|'''Claude:''' How could you commit such crimes in the name of Almyra? It's because of two-bit miscreants like you that Almyrans suffer so much hate!<br>'''Pirate Captain:''' Sh-shut up! Say what you will, we're the real navy of Almyra!|Claude, fighting the Pirate Captain in [[Sword and Shield of Seiros]].}}

{{quote|'''The Wind Caller:''' I smell those detestable 10 Elites... Who are you?<br>'''Claude:''' I'm the grandson of the grandson of the grandson of the elite Riegan. Now tell me who you are!<br>'''The Wind Caller:''' I am your family's enemy. If you carry the blood of the 10 Elites, you cannot be permitted to live.<br>'''Claude:''' What do you mean by that? And what's that Crest on your forehead?<br>'''The Wind Caller:''' No more talk. If you wish to survive, you must destroy me!|Claude, fighting the [[Macuil|Wind Caller]] in [[The Sleeping Sand Legend]].}}

{{quote|'''Claude:''' That looks just like Miklan's Black Beast... Could a Hero's Relic be at fault?<br>'''Wandering Beast:''' Hero... There is a word that takes me back.<br>'''Claude:''' Takes you back? You... Are you...<br>'''Wandering Beast:''' After so long, I cannot speak of it.|Claude, fighting the [[Wandering Beast]] in [[Forgotten Hero]].}}

You've never known when to give up.<br>'''Claude:''' Well, I can't just surrender so easily. I'm responsible for the others. If you're as smart as you seem, I bet you've figured out why I was able to summon Almyran reinforcements.
