Biography
Pre-games
Count Rowe is a noble of theHoly Kingdom of Faerghus. His territory is most notable for the fortress city ofArianrhod, which is seen as a key location to Faerghus's defenses. His ancestors had defected from theAdrestian Empire after its completion,[1] and his family is still seen as a family of traitors during the events of the games.
In Imperial Year 1174, Count Rowe adopted a young boy under the pseudonymYuri.[2]
Three Houses
On all routes except Crimson Flower, Count Rowe defects to theAdrestian Empire at some point between the fall ofGarreg Mach Monastery andByleth's reawakening. He is never encountered directly, but his army is fought underGwendal's command when Byleth's army meets up with their reinforcements inAilell.
On the Crimson Flower route, Count Rowe instead chooses to ally with the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus against the Adrestian Empire. His troops assist in defendingArianrhod fromEdelgard's army, but Count Rowe himself does not appear. He is later implied to have died off-screen whenThose Who Slither in the Dark attack and destroy Arianrhod.[3]
Warriors: Three Hopes
On the Azure Gleam route, Count Rowe is one of the nobles who rebel against theDimitri underCornelia's command. As one of the rebels, he is killed by Dimitri's forces when Cornelia sends him out to stop the kingdom army's advance. Following his death,Gwendal joins the empire to avenge him.
On the Scarlet Blaze route, Count Rowe initially allies with the Adrestian Empire. When Edelgard needs to temporarily retreat her forces to saveCount Bergliez and his army,Dimitri uses the opportunity and lays siege to Arianrhod. If the player's army does not reach Count Rowe and Gwendal in time in the following battle, he will defect to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and is fought and killed in battle. If he is reached in time, he will instead remain an ally to the Adrestian Empire. Either outcome will result in Arianrhod remaining under the control of the Adrestian Empire, and Count Rowe is not mentioned afterwards.
