Elbert (Japanese:エルバートElbert) is the father ofEliwood and the husband ofEleanora, and the marquess ofPherae during the first major arcs ofFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade; his disappearance is a major plot point of the first major arc of Eliwood's and Hector's tales.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
About six months prior to the events ofChapter 11, Elbert is contacted byDarin ofLaus concerning a possible rebellion againstOstia; during this time, he attempted to convince Darin andEphidel to have theBlack Fang driven out ofLycia, presumably in refusing to join such a rebellion. This contributed to his disappearance at the hands of Ephidel roughly five months afterward, along with a number of his sworn men; the event of Elbert's disappearance is the catalyst for the start ofEliwood's journey, andindirectly does so forHector as well.
Elbert and his men were taken by Ephidel to theDragon's Gate; a number of Elbert's men were presumably killed not too much later in order to have theirquintessence harvested byNergal, but Elbert himself was kept alive in order to watch over Nergal's two children,Ninian andNils. During Elbert's time at the Dragon's Gate, he set Nergal's children loose in order to attempt to foil Nergal's plans.
Elbert first appears physically inChapter 18 (19 Hector), not too long after having set Nergal's children loose, to be informed of Eliwood's arrival onValor with Ninian at his side; inthe following chapter, Elbert defends himself against Nergal as Nergal prepares for his ritual, willing to put Ninian's life before his own, getting injured byJaffar and later suffers a fatal wound by Ephidel's hand. Eliwood and his company arrive to Elbert's side, where Elbert makes one last offensive against Nergal, inflicting a grievous wound against him, before eventually dying in Eliwood's arms. Eliwood would eventually succeed Elbert as Marquess Pherae.
