Byleth (pronounced /ˈbaɪlɛθ/[key][6]; Japanese:ベレト orベレスByleth) is theavatar unit and protagonist ofFire Emblem: Three Houses. During the course of the game they become a teacher at theOfficers Academy.
Biography
Byleth was born ofJeralt andSitri, a nun of theChurch of Seiros in Imperial Year 1159, in critical condition and not breathing.Rhea took the Crest Stone of Flames from Sitri (who failed to achieve the progenitor god's conscience, and was also in critical condition) and placed it within the infant Byleth's heart, both to save the infant Byleth as well as to try again to reawaken the goddessSothis; this resulted in Sitri's death.[7] However, this had the consequence of Byleth having extremely little emotion until the goddess started to reawaken around the start of the game.[8] Jeralt, seeing the infant's oddities and fearing Rhea's plans for them, took advantage of a fire to fake both their deaths and fled the monastery. The two spent the next twenty years wanderingFódlan as part ofJeralt's Mercenaries.
One day, Jeralt's aid is requisitioned by three young nobles under attack by bandits: PrincessEdelgard von Hresvelg of theAdrestian Empire, PrinceDimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd of theHoly Kingdom of Faerghus, and LordClaude von Riegan of theLeicester Alliance. During the battle, Byleth sacrifices themselves to save Edelgard from an attack; this awakens Sothis' consciousness within them, and she grants them the power ofDivine Pulse to rewind time. Afterwards, theKnights of Seiros reunite with Jeralt and convince him to return to the Church, where Rhea offers Byleth a teaching position at theOfficers Academy atGarreg Mach Monastery. Byleth chooses one of three academic houses to lead: Edelgard'sBlack Eagles, Dimitri'sBlue Lions, or Claude'sGolden Deer, and spends the next year teaching them and fighting alongside them. During this time, a masked individual calling themselves theFlame Emperor and a cult known only as "those who slither in the dark" launch attacks on the Church. During a raid on the Church's Holy Mausoleum, Byleth discovers theSword of the Creator and learns they possess the Crest of Flames, the Crest borne by the King of LiberationNemesis in ancient history. Rhea entrusts the sword to them. Eventually, the assassinKronya murders Jeralt; Byleth pursues her into the Sealed Forest outside Garreg Mach, falls into a trap, and is banished into a realm of darkness. Sothis sacrifices her individuality to grant Byleth the full extent of her power, allowing them to escape. In the aftermath, Rhea takes them to the Holy Tomb far underneath Garreg Mach to receive a divine revelation. The Flame Emperor interrupts the ritual to raid the Tomb, and in the ensuing battle is revealed to be Edelgard. If Byleth is a Black Eagle and attended her coronation as emperor earlier that month, they can defect to the Empire; otherwise, they remain allied with the Church. Edelgard, who views the Church as corrupt due to propagating the worship of Crests which led to the deaths of her siblings, declares war on the Church and attacks Garreg Mach. The Empire wins the battle, and Byleth is severely injured and falls into a coma for the next five years.
What happens after the five year time skip depends on which class Byleth chose to teach upon arriving at Garreg Mach Monastery.
If Byleth chose to lead the Blue Lions, they awaken to Fódlan being conquered nearly in its entirety by Edelgard and the Adrestian Empire. Faerghus has been divided between the loyalists and an Adrestian puppet state known as the Faerghus Dukedom. Returning to the Monastery, they find a disheveled and ruthless Dimitri in the Tower of the Goddess. The pair are tracked down byGilbert and the rest of the Blue Lions, as they set up Garreg Mach as a staging ground for their resistance against Adrestia. Byleth and the Blue Lions petitionJudith von Daphnel of the Leicester Alliance for reinforcements. After bringing Dimitri back to his senses, the Blue Lions march into and liberateFhirdiad, the capital of Faerghus. Afterwards, after saving the Leicester Alliance from an Imperial assault, they head into Adrestian held territory, conqueringFort Merceus and continuing to the capital ofEnbarr. Edelgard is killed, and Dimitri unites Fódlan under the flag of Faerghus, with Byleth at his side.
If Byleth chose to lead the Golden Deer, they awaken to Fódlan being almost entirely conquered by the Adrestian Empire. After reuniting with Claude and defending the Golden Deer's newly set up base at Garreg Mach, the Leicester Alliance is reunited and the Golden Deer invade and defeat Adrestia, killing Edelgard in the process. Edelgard's retainerHubert sends Byleth and Claude a letter post mortem revealing that the Empire's actions were influenced by those who slither in the dark. Armed with this information, the Golden Deer assault the underground city ofShambhala and defeat their leaderThales. However, the King of Liberation,Nemesis is revived and cuts a swathe through Alliance territory. Byleth and the Golden Deer confront Nemesis at the Caledonian Plateau and defeat him. After the war, Claude unites Fódlan under the Leicester Alliance and dissapears.
If Byleth chose to lead the Black Eagles, the route they take depends on whether they chose to side or oppose Edelgard during the conflict in the Holy tomb. This decision can be unlocked by having Byleth attain a C+-ranksupport with Edelgard and speak with her during exploration inChapter 11. If this is not achieved, the player will be automatically put on the Silver Snow route.
If Byleth sides with the Church, the Silver Snow route is played. Byleth awakens to find that the Kingdom has been reduced to a puppet state, Dimitri is presumed dead, the Alliance has fractured into pro-Church and pro-Empire factions, Claude has been struggling to maintain a facade of neutrality, Rhea has been captured by the Empire, the Knights of Seiros have scattered to the four winds to find her and Byleth, and the Empire is on the verge of conquering Fódlan. Byleth rallies an army to combat the Empire, with the exact details varying depending on the route. After a massive three-way battle between the Empire, Kingdom, and Alliance known as the Battle at Gronder, Byleth directly invades Adrestia and conquers Fort Merceus, a critical stronghold on the path to the Imperial capital of Enbarr. They then launch a direct invasion of Enbarr itself, and kill Edelgard. On the Azure Moon route, the war ends here; Dimitri and the Kingdom unite Fódlan under the former's rule, and Byleth becomes archbishop of the Church after Rhea retires. On the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind routes,Hubert posthumously warns them about those who slither in the dark, and Byleth besieges their stronghold Shambhala and kills their leaderThales. After defeating either Rhea after she suffers a draconic degeneration-induced mental breakdown due to injuries sustained in Shambhala (Silver Snow) or Nemesis after he is resurrected by those who slither in the dark as a last act of spite against Fódlan (Verdant Wind), Byleth unites the continent as the first ruler of the United Kingdom of Fódlan.
If Byleth sides with the Empire, the Crimson Flower route is played. They awaken to find that Dimitri has granted Rhea asylum and sided with the Church, and the two of them have fought the Empire to a stalemate while Claude and the Alliance remain nominally neutral. Byleth and Edelgard launch a renewed offensive, conquer and annex the Alliance, and either kill or exile Claude. After beating back a counterattack by the Church and assassinating a high-ranking member of those who slither in the dark, Byleth launches a direct invasion of Faerghus. Dimitri and Rhea intercept them at the Tailtean Plains, but the Empire emerges victorious, Dimitri is slain, and Rhea is forced to retreat to the Kingdom capital of Fhirdiad. Rhea orders Fhirdiad to be burned to the ground to slow the Imperial advance, but Byleth nevertheless defeats her and brings an end to the war. In the aftermath, Rhea's death causes the Crest Stone implanted in Byleth's heart to disintegrate, allowing their heart to start beating normally for the first time. Edelgard and the Empire unite the continent under the former's rule, and Byleth takes up arms against those who slither in the dark as their shadow war begins.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Role
Byleth is theavatar unit ofThree Houses. They also function as a lord character, and their death is grounds for an immediate game over at all times. While Byleth is the primary protagonist of the game, they are a silent protagonist, unlikeKris andCorrin before them; however, they share this distinction somewhat withRobin in the Japanese version ofAwakening, as that game offered a "silent protagonist" voice option for its avatar which was removed from the localization. As Byleth interacts with characters, the player is given options on how Byleth will respond to dialogue, which may change the reactions of the character they are speaking to. Each response may increase support points for a correct response depending on the partner's interests, or even decrease the partner's support points if the wrong answer was given.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Byleth is the main character of the game, and is a rather interesting unit overall. They start with solid bases overall, in particular an excellent base 13strength, tied for highest in the game withEdelgard, and generally above-average stats in most other areas. While theircharm base isn't exactly stellar, the consistent boosts from Tea Time on birthdays will prove to be quite the boon. Byleth will likely maintain this stat lead, as they have fairly solid growth rates all around and receive extraexperience thanks to their personal ability,Professor's Guidance. At the start of the game, Byleth will be one of the player's strongest units, having better survivability than most of the students thanks to solidHP,speed, and defenses, while also boasting decentattack speed as well as solid single-hit damage viaWrath Strike when used with theSteel Sword that is obtained fairly early on.
Byleth has no outstanding weaknesses in either stats or weapon proficiencies, allowing them to take on whatever role the player desires. In addition, they gain a personal weapon inChapter 4, theSword of the Creator; this grants them a decent 1-2 range option, as well as a very powerful single-hit, anti-dragon attack,Ruptured Heaven. In addition to strong overall combat, the abilities and combat arts they gain from their skill proficiencies can also provide some interesting options.Battalion Vantage andBattalion Desperation can offer the effects of certain class mastery abilities without needing to spend time in those classes, while also having safer activation conditions than their regular counterparts. In addition, they can also learn the elusiveWindsweep, which can allow them to safely damage some of the most offensively dangerous enemies without fear of retaliation.
Byleth possesses theCrest of Flames; this grants them a 20% chance of restoring HP equal to 30% of the damage they deal, improving their survivability on the front lines somewhat. If this effect activates, then there is a secondary 25% chance for their Crest to also allow them to deny enemy counterattacks and grant 5 extramight for the attack; since this is ultimately a 5% chance overall, however, it is not something that one can reliably form strategies around. In addition to these effects and the ability to wield the Sword of the Creator at full power, Byleth's Crest also ensures that they will not take recoil damage from any of the otherHeroes' Relics, which can also be decently effective in their hands due to their aforementioned high natural strength.
Byleth's biggest weakness as a unit is how their unit growth interacts with the game's mechanics. Unlike their students, who can be tutored 4-5 times a weekend, stamina permitting, in any subject of the player's choice, Byleth starts off only able to be tutored 3 times a weekend, is limited to whatever faculty is available on hand, and also draws on the same pool of activity points to do other things such as cooking meals or participating in tournaments. The overall effect is that Byleth's growth is actually weaker than their students throughout Part I. Fortunately, they automatically receive theEnlightened One class at the end ofChapter 10. The Enlightened One serves as an excellent fall-back option for Byleth at the end of Part I and in general, as it possesses solid stats all around and the ability to use both brawling and magic, making Byleth a generalist who has an option for every situation. It can be particularly helpful for magic-oriented builds as, though it has lower rawmagic and lacks the "faire" abilities of classes such asWarlock, it has a significantmovement advantage over most other magic classes.
Recruiting other units inThree Houses is generally tied to Byleth's stats. If one intends to recruit all possible units, then at bare minimum, assuming they get B supports with everyone saveFerdinand andCaspar, they need D Lances, Bows, Reason, and Riding and D+ Faith and Authority on all routes, D Heavy Armor as a Black Eagle, D Axes as a Church-aligned Black Eagle or Blue Lion, D+ Swords and E+ Flying as a Black Eagle or Golden Deer, and C Brawling and Heavy Armor as a Blue Lion or Golden Deer in order to do so. While each threshold seems doable when taken individually, attempting to recruit absolutely everyone can prove to be a significant time investment, and can result in stunting Byleth's own growth through Part I due to a lack of focus in any skill.
Once Part II rolls around, things start looking up for Byleth. With more options to develop their strengths thanks to being able to take advanced drills from students, Byleth's strengths as a unit can grow much faster depending on the desired build. Byleth's well-rounded stats and lack of banes allows them to take on nearly any role in the army you want. For pure physical power and mobility,Wyvern Lord is an excellent option. However, female Byleth can choose the slightly weaker Falconknight class to dodge-tank better while still maintaining high mobility and Canto.Gremory is an excellent magical option, except that it is only available to female Byleth.

| Preferred class line | |
|---|---|
| Icon | Class |
| File:Ma fewa2 myrmidon byleth m 02 playable.gif | Myrmidon |

Personality
This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Byleth is often shown to lack emotions, particularly towards the start ofThree Houses. As the player progresses through the story, some characters will point out that they are smiling more often. Byleth will also display other emotions, such as anger or disappointment, during story progression. Their personality is ultimately dependent upon the player's actions and dialogue choices; Byleth can be quite caring or indifferent, though rarely malicious.
Befitting of their status as the player avatar unit, the above serves to make Byleth a blank slate the player can easily project themselves unto and deepen the connection between them and the unfolding narrative.

Byleth/Bond conversations
As anEmblem, Byleth does not have any support conversations. However, upon reaching bond level 5, 10, and 20 with any character, he has short bond conversations with them instead, which unlock the next bond level. Increasing bond level provides a variety of bonuses, such as raising the stat bonus Byleth provides to synchronized units, inheriting weapon proficiencies, unlocking new sync skills and engage weapons, or extending the duration of each engagement.

Byleth/Super Smash Bros. series
On January 16, 2020, Byleth, both male and female, were revealed to be the final fighter in the first Fighters Pass forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Unlike the otherFire Emblem characters, Byleth uses both theSword of the Creator and theHeroes' Relics:Areadbhar is used in their forward smash, forward and back aerials, and side special;Aymr is used for their down smash, down aerial, and down special; andFailnaught is used in their neutral aerial and special. Initially considered to be a low-tier character, Byleth received buffs in several patches afterward. Once MKLeo stated using Byleth, they climbed up the rankings to top tier. After a brief few months in that spotlight, MKLeo dropped Byleth in favor of Joker. Byleth now sits comfortably in mid to high tier, depending on who is asked.
Fire Emblem Cipher
Byleth is featured on sixteen cards inFire Emblem Cipher, seven depicting the default male and nine depicting the default female. Unlike other characters who can be either male or female depending on the player's choice, such asCorrin orMorgan, Byleth's cards do not include(男) or(女) indicators next to their name, because Byleth's name is slightly different depending on gender. However, since the English version ofFire Emblem: Three Houses does not distinguish Byleth's two forms by name, (Male) and (Female) are included here for the convenience of readers, in the same fashion as characters such as the aforementioned Corrin and Morgan.
"New Teacher of the Officers Academy, Byleth (male)" is the card with the most different printings inCipher to date, with six different printings acrossthe eighteenth booster series andfive promotional cards.

Trivia
- InHeroes, the male version of Byleth is the first hero to be introduced on a Legendary or Mythic banner without actually being a Legendary or Mythic Hero.
- Through using Renown to purchase previously unlocked mastery skills, Byleth is the only character inThree Houses who can have both male and female-exclusive skills at the same time.
- On the skill purchase menu, Byleth uses the Commoner map sprite to represent any classes that they cannot access due to their gender.
- Byleth is tied withAshe on the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind routes for changing factions the most times inThree Houses, with 3. They are part of the Mercenaries faction in the prologue, switch to the Church of Seiros throughout the rest of Part I, and finally switch to the Resistance Army/Holy Kingdom of Faerghus/Leicester Alliance/Adrestian Empire for Part II.
- InWarriors: Three Hopes, the player is prompted to enter Byleth's name. If theNintendo Switch has save data forThree Houses, Byleth's name from the most recent playthrough will be used, unless this name was already used byShez.

Byleth: What does it all mean?
Rhea: I thought that I could regain all I had lost, if only I could revive my mother... And so I tried to bring her back by creating a body, and then burying a Crest Stone within it. A young woman I created...my twelfth try after much heartache...was a failure. She grew up lacking the conscience of the progenitor god and fell in love with the captain of the Knights of Seiros. In time, she became pregnant...but she and the child were not able to survive the birth. The child she bore was not breathing, and she herself was in grave danger. The new mother pleaded with me to take the Crest Stone of the progenitor god from her own body and place it within the baby. If I had done nothing, both mother and child would have died. And so I granted her final wish. As she had hoped, the baby started breathing again... The new life was saved. Your life, sweet child.
Byleth: ...
Rhea: Well before that, I had saved Jeralt's life using the power of my blood. That means you are the child of a mother born of the progenitor god's Crest Stone and a father who carried my own blood. I knew, deep in my heart, that you would be capable of housing the conscience of the progenitor god. I was right... And yet, she merely gifted her power to you and then disappeared once more. My dearest wish did not come true...but here you are. You alone wield the power of the progenitor god." — Conversation betweenRhea and Byleth inChapter 21 of Silver Snow,Fire Emblem: Three Houses - ↑"Do you recall your father's diary?
