During the events of Book II, Gustav is only mentioned twice, once during [[The Road to Nifl|Part 1 of Chapter 3]] and again during [[Protecting the People|Part 1 of Chapter 4]]. In both instances, it is stated that he is commanding the Askran Royal Knights in defending the realm from [[Surtr]]'s invasion. | During the events of Book II, Gustav is only mentioned twice, once during [[The Road to Nifl|Part 1 of Chapter 3]] and again during [[Protecting the People|Part 1 of Chapter 4]].

Gustav makes his proper debut during Book III. He often chastises [[Alfonse]] and tries to shape him into becoming a wiser and more responsible ruler. Eventually, Alfonse suffers a death curse at the hands of [[Hel]], and Gustav sacrifices himself to take the curse and save his son. Hel later revives Gustav to serve as one of her generals, stripping him of control of his body. He requests the Order to strike him down before they proceed into the gates of Hel, which they succeed at doing. | Gustav makes his proper debut during Book III.

Gustav (Japanese: グスタフ Gustaf) is a character appearing in Fire Emblem Heroes. He is the king of Askr, and the father of Alfonse and Sharena.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
During the events of Book II, Gustav is only mentioned twice, once during Part 1 of Chapter 3 and again during Part 1 of Chapter 4. In both instances, it is stated that he is commanding the Askran Royal Knights in defending the realm from Surtr's invasion.
Gustav makes his proper debut during Book III. He often chastises Alfonse and tries to shape him into becoming a wiser and more responsible ruler. Eventually, Alfonse suffers a death curse at the hands of Hel, and Gustav sacrifices himself to take the curse and save his son. Hel later revives Gustav to serve as one of her generals, stripping him of control of his body. He requests the Order to strike him down before they proceed into the gates of Hel, which they succeed at doing.
There are three different variations of Gustav appearing Heroes. The normal variation of Gustav is a non-playable character that serves as the boss of Chapter 5 of Book III. A Valentine's variation of Gustav was made available between the period of February 5, 2021 through March 5, 2021 as part of the summoning event surrounding the Love of a King update, making him one of a number of heroes to have been made available only as a special variation without a normal variation of them playable. The Hel-resurrected variation of Gustav was first made available to players on May 10, 2022 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the To Be Emperor update.

Personality
Little has been revealed about Gustav's character. At the beginning of Chapter 4, Alfonse states that Gustav was angry with him when he told him that he wanted to join the Order of Heroes, and that they still do not see each other at the castle. Regardless, Alfonse still knows that Gustav cares deeply about his people and kingdom.
Gustav's personality is more firmly established when he makes his proper storyline debut. He is a stern and somewhat harsh man, and is not afraid to call his son out on his failures and reckless decision-making. Despite this, he genuinely cares about his family. His wife notes that he was far more hot-headed in his youth, although an incident she refuses to elaborate on turned him into the cautious man he is today.
