What is this nonsense?! All I was told was to kill as many noble pipsqueaks as possible! No one said anything about the Knights of damned Seiros being on our trail!
— Kostas, to the Flame Emperor.

Kostas (Japanese: コスタス Kostas) is a character appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is the leader of a pack of bandits, hired by the Flame Emperor.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Role

At the beginning of Three Houses, Kostas ambushes Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude at dawn, intent on killing them. Jeralt and his child Byleth arrive just in time to aid them in defeating Kostas and his band of thieves. After the battle, Kostas attempts to kill Edelgard, but Byleth protects her from the attack, putting them on the verge of death. Just before the attack can connect, a mysterious power allows Byleth to rewind time to the moment before the attack, allowing Byleth to counter Kostas' blow and save Edelgard. Kostas and his remaining henchmen retreat when the Knights of Seiros arrive to apprehend them.

Later at the Red Canyon ruins, Kostas objects to the deal being given to him by his employer, the Flame Emperor, since having to battle the Knights of Seros was not part of it. The Emperor calls Kostas worthless for worrying about the Knights of Seiros and chides him for underestimating them and departs to find Kostas' replacements before he can argue further.

Kostas battles Byleth and their class when they reach the canyon under Rhea's orders and is slain.

Personality and character

While Kostas has little screentime to develop his personality, he consistently acts in a violent manner with a notable disregard for the nobility. He is easily flustered when the situation turns against him, but is also defiant enough to go down swinging when confronted by the Knights of Seiros.

Quotes

I'm gonna kill you where you stand...
— Kostas in the Prologue
Kostas: What the?! Aren't you Jeralt the Blade Breaker? What's a renowned mercenary like you doing here?

— Kostas in the Prologue against Jeralt
Hey, you with the blank stare! Outta my way!
— Kostas in the Prologue against Byleth
Sending these brats instead of the knights means they've underestimated me! Big mistake!
— Kostas in Chapter 2
Y-you're... It can't be! The mercenary from before? So what, now you're pals with the knights? I'll kill you and your pesky brats!
— Kostas in Chapter 2 against Byleth
Kostas: Spoiled little noble! Just die like a good little rich kid!
Edelgard: Do you really think being born a commoner gives you the right to kill? Despicable.

— Kostas in Chapter 2 against Edelgard.
Kostas: Spoiled little noble! Just die like a good little rich kid!
Dimitri: Unfortunately for you, I will not oblige. You will regret all that you have done.

— Kostas in Chapter 2 against Dimitri.
Kostas: Spoiled little noble! Just die like a good little rich kid!
