Berkut (Japanese:ベルクトBerkut) is a ranking member of theRigelian army and the nephew of EmperorRudolf. Berkut did not appear inFire Emblem Gaiden and is a new character first appearing inFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He prizes his high social standing as the nephew of the emperor and a possible heir to the Rigelian throne.
Biography
Berkut was born to the younger brother of EmperorRudolf I of Rigel, and as far as the public knew was first in line to inherit the Rigelian throne. His father died young, and his mother raised him harshly in order to become a man worthy of the throne. Berkut's mother died before he reached adulthood, so he was placed under the care of his uncle. According toMassena, captain of Rudolf's imperial guard, Rudolf genuinely loved Berkut and knew that keeping his sonAlbein Alm's existence secret would only hurt Berkut in the long run, but was forced to keep his silence for the sake of his plan to free Valentia from the influence of the degrading gods. During his time under Rudolf's care, Berkut met a minor noble namedRinea; the two quickly fell in love and became betrothed.
During the war between Zofia and Rigel, Berkut served as a general in the Rigelian army. After the Zofian knightFernand abandoned the Deliverance, Desaix allowed him to serve under Berkut's command. Berkut elected not to directly aid Desaix against the Deliverance, and he was defeated in battle. Later, Berkut and Fernand decided to ambush and fight Alm for their own entertainment. Berkut severely underestimated Alm, was defeated, and was forced to retreat. He beggedRudolf for a second chance, and was assigned to defend the border between Zofia and Rigel. As he prepared for his mission, the witchNuibaba offered him a mirror containingDuma's power as a last resort in case things went wrong. At the border, despite his best efforts, he and Fernand were defeated. Berkut swallowed his pride and used the mirror, summoning powerfulTerrors to aid him, but Alm managed to channelCelica's powers and dispel them. Berkut was again forced to retreat.

Growing increasingly desperate to prove himself to Rudolf and earn his birthright as the Rigelian heir presumptive, Berkut begged Rudolf to allow him to join the final defense of Rigel Castle, but was coldly rebuffed. Rudolf was killed in the battle, and the truth about Alm's origins as Rudolf's son and the true heir to the Rigelian throne came to light. The discovery that everything he ever knew and fought for was a lie shattered Berkut's mind, and he ended up in the basement of theDuma Tower after wandering in a daze. Rinea followed him down, and Berkut, consumed by his hatred of Alm, offered whatever Duma desired to grant him the power to exact his revenge. Duma claimed Rinea's soul as his price, and Fernand arrived just in time to discover what the newly empowered and maddened Berkut had done. Rinea was resurrected as a Witch, and mortally wounded Fernand. Berkut and Rinea awaited the arrival of Alm and his companions in the Temple. When Alm arrived, Berkut rebuffed his offer of friendship and attacked him, and Alm was forced to defeat both Berkut and Rinea. As he laid dying, Rinea's soul appeared and brought him back to his senses, and Berkut begged Alm to defeat Duma before succumbing to his wounds.

Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
There are three different variations of Berkut available toHeroes, all of which are tied to his storyline appearance inEchoes: Shadows of Valentia. The normal variation of Berkut is one of the characters added to the game in theBitter Enemies update, and was made available to players in the twelfthGrand Hero Battle, which initially ran from July 18, 2017 through July 25, 2017. A corrupted variation of Berkut, based on his boss appearance after sacrificingRinea toDuma inAct 5, was first made available to be summoned by players on May 10, 2019 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of theA Home Unknown update. A performance-themed variation of Berkut was made available between the period of September 6, 2018 through October 7, 2018 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of theA Splendid Soiree update.
The normal variation of Berkut is notably the first character made available in a Grand Hero Battle to not only bear a passive skill that wasn't part of the game at launch, but also be the first character to bear a passive skill added in the same update as the character (in this case, Berkut is the first bearer ofWater Boost).

Personality
Berkut is a prideful man who, much like Fernand, places great emphasis on social status. Unlike Fernand, who acts as if he is owed something for being a noble, Berkut feels the need to demonstrate his own power and worth. This stemmed from his upbringing, when his parents taught him that he had to be strong if he was to rule.[3] He holds the Duma Faithful in contempt, considering them to be "supplicating fools" and their power to be "hideous". In contrast to his normal behavior, he dearly loves his fiancée Rinea and shows his softer, more vulnerable side to her. During his childhood, he was apparently so timid that even trying to ride a horse would make him cry.
As the war with Zofia progresses and he is defeated again and again by Alm, Berkut slowly loses his sanity and begins resorting to more and more desperate measures in order to defeat the Deliverance, including swallowing his pride and accepting aid from the Faithful. Once Alm is revealed to be Rudolf's son and the true heir to the Rigelian throne, Berkut completely snaps and becomes a paranoid, broken shell of a man. He begins questioning the motives of everyone around him, including Rudolf and Rinea, and becomes willing to do anything to exact revenge on Alm and become emperor, even sacrificing Rinea's soul to Duma. After his final defeat, Berkut realizes the error of his ways and accepts Rinea's forgiveness, departing peacefully with her into the afterlife.

| Berkut is the nephew of Rudolf, emperor of the Rigelian Empire. He was seen as Rudolf's heir, and so he led his own army to challenge the Deliverance. | But once Berkut learned that Alm, the leader of the Deliverance, was in fact the Emperor's son, his dreams of taking the throne were shattered, and he fell into total despair. | The sorrow was too much for him. In his madness, Berkut gave in to dark temptations, and soon did the unthinkable: he offered the soul of his fiancée Rinea to the fell god Duma in exchange for power. | Even that wasn't enough to stop his defeat at the hands of Alm, though. Entrusting the future of Valentia to the young warrior, Berkut then began his journey to the afterlife with his star-crossed bride-to-be… | ||||||||||
