Aelfric Dahlman^[1] (pronounced /⁠ˈɛlfɹɪk⁠/^[key]; Japanese:アルファルド＝ダールマンAlphard Dahlman) is a temporary playable character and final boss appearing in theFire Emblem: Three Houses expansionCindered Shadows, as well a minor NPC in the main story. He is the overseer ofAbyss and an old friend ofByleth's parents,Jeralt andSitri.

Biography

Aelfric was born inGarreg Mach Monastery, and fell in love with a nun namedSitri. However, Sitri fell in love with the captain of the Knights of Seiros,Jeralt, and died giving birth to her childByleth. 6 years after her death, Aelfric founded theAshen Wolves, a student group dedicated to protecting lost souls who ended up in the monastery's underground city,Abyss. 5 years later, he discovered Sitri's corpse buried deep within Abyss. Having knowledge of legends surrounding theChalice of Beginnings, an artifact created by SaintSeiros that could supposedly resurrect the dead in a ritual called the Rite of Rising, he became obsessed with finding a way to bring Sitri back to life. To this end, he luredcrestbearers of the Four Apostles,Yuri,Constance,Hapi, andBalthus, to Abyss to be used as blood sacrifices in the Rite of Rising. He also abducted many of Yuri's friends and family members to force him into giving his allegiance.

Cindered Shadows

Aelfric first meets Byleth as an adult when they and a group of students blunder into Abyss and discover the Ashen Wolves. Through Yuri, Aelfric manipulates the group into seeking the Chalice of Beginnings. The group finds the chalice, but Aelfric is supposedly abducted by bandits led byMetodey. Byleth and the Ashen Wolves rescue him and drive off the bandits. Aelfric then betrays the Wolves, steals the Chalice, abducts them, and takes them to the Holy Mausoleum to complete the ritual. Byleth and their companions pursue them to the Mausoleum, rescue the Wolves, and defeat Aelfric.Rhea tries to convince him to stand down, but Aelfric flees to the cathedral and attempts to finish the ritual with his own blood. The ritual fails catastrophically; Aelfric and Sitri's corpse are absorbed by the Chalice and transformed into a horrific monster called anUmbral Beast, and Byleth is forced to slay him in battle.

Main Story

In the game's main storylines, Aelfric was expelled from theChurch of Seiros due to an unidentified scandal,^[3] being implied the Church, in contrast toCindered Shadows, quickly caught up with his plan and promptly removed him from his position.^[4] He makes an unnamed cameo appearanceshortly before the Battle of the Eagle and Lion in Garreg Mach, where he asks Byleth to lay some flowers on Sitri's grave for him before leaving to parts unknown.

Aelfric presents a front of being a calm and forgiving benefactor to the denizens of Abyss. In reality, he is completely obsessed with reviving Sitri, and sees the Ashen Wolves as pawns to this end. Despite this, he is not entirely without virtue; he truly loved Sitri and was perfectly willing to step aside and allow her to be with Jeralt if it made her happy, and he founded the Ashen Wolves several years before he discovered Sitri's body, leading Yuri to speculate that his intentions for the Wolves were initially genuinely pure.
