“ | Humans... They are so very fragile. | ” | — Ephidel commenting on Darin |
---|
Ephidel (Japanese: エフィデル Ephdel) was a morph appearing in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, he was created by Nergal. Ephidel was primarily an informant and manipulator, and is never witnessed participating in combat.
Despite appearing in cutscenes with a Sage map sprite, Ephidel's data is generic.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Ephidel appears to be a major antagonist in the first ten chapters of Eliwood's and Hector's tale. His first appearance is speaking to marquess Santaruz, Helman. Helman is at least partially in league with the Lycian rebellion, however, Helman's resolve is faltering. Ephidel notices this and fatally wounds marquess Helman, though Helman is still able to tell Eliwood to find Darin.
He also manipulates Darin's desires, causing the man to abandon is son Erik and flee to Nergal on the Dread Isle. Darin is under the impression that Nergal will give him leadership of the world.
Ephidel is destroyed, in Chapter 19: Dragon's Gate, by the collapsing Fire Dragon Nergal partially summoned.
Personality
Ephidel matches most morph behavior as emotionless and calculating. However, his screaming during his death and commenting somewhat condescendingly to Darin behind his back,[1] indicates he may have some emotional capability, as in both instances emulating those emotions would have been of no benefit.
Ephidel seemed to have some expectation of protection by Nergal, as he yells out Nergal's name several times before dying.
Death quote
“ | Hyaaaa! Stop... You mustn’t come here!! Lord Nergal! Lord Nergal! Please......!!! Guwaaaaaaahhh!!!!!! | ” | — Ephidel |
