— Orson, to Seth

Orson (Japanese: オルソン Olsson) is a former knight of Renais, once held in high esteem by his fellow knights. He was part of the small group of knights led by Prince Ephraim in guerrilla warfare against Grado's army following its conquering of Renais, but was lured to betray Renais following the death of his wife Monica.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Role

During his time on the run with Ephraim, Orson allegedly sustained a wound of some severity but nonetheless kept fighting. He abandoned Ephraim's group following their successful capture of Renvall, presumably remaining at the castle while Ephraim, Forde and Kyle fled. From there, he used Eirika's trust in him as a knight of Renais to lure her into Tirado's trap at Renvall, after which he returned to Renais, not participating in the battle.

Orson was appointed the guard of Castle Renais by the occupying Grado forces, but instead locked himself in the royal bed-chambers with the reanimated Monica, ignoring the outside world and making no effort to govern the ruined Renais. He only emerged upon being informed by Riev or Lyon that Eirika and Ephraim were marching on Castle Renais, prompting him to emerge to defend the castle so as to preserve his peace with Monica. He was killed in the battle and Renais was freed from Grado occupation.

Following his short time as a playable character in Chapter 5x, Orson disappears and does not show up again until Chapter 16, of which he is the boss. He can later be unlocked as a playable character again in the Creature Campaign mode.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Orson is only available in Chapter 5x, but he is the best unit in that chapter. He has good base stats across the board, and an A rank in swords and lances, allowing him to use the Silver Sword and Silver Lance he joins with. As the unit with the highest movement and the best combat in Chapter 5x, he makes clearing the map much more effortless. Rescuing Ephraim with Orson and rushing to the seize point is the fastest way to complete the chapter.

Orson is no longer available after Chapter 5x, so his items should be traded to another unit before Ephraim seizes the throne. The Silver Sword and Silver Lance are both valuable weapons worth keeping around.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

Orson was first added to the game in a special fallen variation, based on his boss appearance in chapter 16 of The Sacred Stones, as part of the Bound Elsewhere update, and was made available to players in the fifty-fifth Grand Hero Battle, which initially ran from May 8, 2021 with no end date announced. The aforementioned fallen variation of Orson is the only one currently available in Heroes, based on his The Sacred Stones incarnation.

Personality and character

Before his descent into madness, Orson was widely seen as a quiet but kind man. He was well known for his devotion to his wife, Monica, which was ultimately his undoing.[1] Her death had a massive impact on him, leaving him severely depressed, and so he leapt at the opportunity offered to him by Lyon to revive her, even if it meant betraying Renais; his desperation to have Monica back led him to obsess over his love for her and completely ignore that she was a rotting corpse and barely coherent.[2]
