Sigurd is a mix of the Lord, Crutch Character, and Cornelius archetypes.In particular, Hector has been enough of a direct inspiration for future Lords that he's created a sub-type. Composite Character: As with many long runners, increasingly the archetype is played with by either combining aspects of other archetypes, or mixing and matching traits of previous Lords.The only exceptions are Ike, a common mercenary note his father, however, was noble, but relinquished his title before Ike was born Ike is knighted into nobility during Path of Radiance, but also relinquishes his title in the timeskip before Radiant Dawn, and Itsuki, an Ordinary High-School Student. Blue Blood: Every Lord is either royalty or discovers they are such over the course of their journey.As the main character, it's automatically game over if they die in battle.Īs characters, the Lord can be subdivided into two types: the peaceful lord, and the martial lord. They are generally young, humble nobles or royals who are natural-born leaders despite their lack of experience, lose at least one (if not both) parental/mentor figures, and grow into universally revered and powerful warriors and rulers in their place.
There is always at least one Lord ( Radiant Dawn had two, and The Blazing Blade had three). The protagonist of many of the Fire Emblem.
