Nader (pronounced /⁠nəˈdɛɹ⁠/^[key]; Japanese:ナデルNader) is a character appearing inFire Emblem: Three Houses. He is anAlmyran general and an old combat instructor ofClaude's. He adopted the pseudonymNardel (pronounced /⁠nɑɹˈdɛl⁠/^[key]; Japanese:ナルデールNardel) while operating within theLeicester Alliance.

Biography

On the Verdant Wind route, Nader is first mentioned during Part II byJudith under the pseudonym "Nardel", as a retainer Claude left behind back in Alliance territory when he went back toGarreg Mach Monastery to reunite with theGolden Deer there. After taking back the Great Bridge of Myrddin, "Nardel" meets Byleth and thanks them for the support they've provided to his liege. His final appearance happens when the Alliance forces infiltrate Fort Merceus, as Claude summons Almyran reinforcements as a ploy to have both sides team up against a common enemy and form a friendship, with Nader himself leading the Almyran soldiers. Once Fort Merceus is destroyed by a "javelin of light", Nader quickly panics and runs away, as Judith finally realizes who he is and speculates his moniker of "The Undefeated" might actually come from escaping every time he was about to lose a fight.

On the Crimson Flower route, Nader shows up alongside an Almyran fleet to support Claude and the Alliance's army during theAdrestian invasion of Derdriu, only to end up bested in the process and forced to retreat. He later appears again in the paralogueInsurmountable, where he is seen leading the Almyran forces trying to get past Fódlan's Throat, only to be defeated and forced to escape yet again byEdelgard's army.

Nader makes no appearances on the Silver Snow or Azure Moon routes.
