TheGreat Lord (Japanese:マスターロードMaster Lord;グレートロードGreat Lord inThe Blazing Blade) is anadvancedclass which debuted inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade, and is the most common advanced form of theLord class. In the majority of its appearances it is the advanced class of all Lord characters to appear in the games in question; the exceptions areFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, where it is onlyHector's advanced class, withEliwood andLyn gettingKnight Lord andBlade Lord respectively, andFire Emblem: Three Houses, where it is exclusive toDimitri, withEdelgard andClaude gettingEmperor andBarbarossa respectively. InFire Emblem Fates, it also appears as the exclusive class of theamiibo-deliveredbonus characterLucina.
Owing to its comparable status as a personal class for specific characters, and the different traits of the characters in question, the Great Lord's stats typically vary from game to game. Whereas Hector's version is reminiscent of theGeneral in its possession of higherStrength andDefense at the expense ofSpeed, Eirika and Ephraim's versions inThe Sacred Stones have more in common with thePaladin as a mounted class. The versions employed byRoy,Chrom,Lucina, andDimitri inThe Binding Blade,Awakening, andThree Houses are more balanced and loosely resemble theHero class. As a general rule, all incarnations of the Great Lord are very competent and powerful classes.
Much as the statistical builds of the class vary on a personalized level, so too do the weapons to which they have access. Roy and Eirika both wield onlyswords, Ephraim wields onlylances, Hector wieldsaxes with swords as a secondary weapon, and Chrom, Lucina, and Dimitri wield swords and lances. No incarnation of the Great Lord has ever wielded bows or magic.

Trivia
- InAwakening, the Great Lord carries a shield on its left arm.
- For Chrom, this shield is theFire Emblem, and accordingly changes as its orbs are collected and disappears entirely for the few chapters in which it has been stolen byValidar. It is additionally not present if Chrom has become a Great Lord prior to the end ofChapter 7, asEmmeryn has yet to give it to him.
- Lucina's shield is a larger version of the mask she wore in her "Marth" guise.
- Lucina's battle sprite and model inFates actually depicts her as a regular Lord, though her class is Great Lord.
- The Great Lord map animations inThe Binding Blade were originally used as theLord map animations inearlier stages of development.
