TheThief (Japanese:シーフThief) is a rarestaff in theFire Emblem series. Appearing in all threeSuper Famicom installments of the series, the Thief staff had a different effect in each one. InMystery of the Emblem, it was apersonal weapon ofMarisha's and served to open distantchests. InGenealogy of the Holy War, it was actually an unused item that, if hacked into play, stolegold from its target. InThracia 776, it was a personal weapon ofTina's and couldsteal a weapon, staff, or item from its target.

The Thief staff has not appeared in an original game since the SNES era; it did appear inNew Mystery of the Emblem, the remake of its original appearance, with its originalMystery of the Emblem effect minus the personal weapon restriction.
