Supports
Endings
Claude, King of Unification
Claude returned to his homeland of Almyra and assumed the role of a politically active prince. After inheriting the throne, he worked to improve relations with Fódlan. In addition to establishing new trade routes, he fostered trust by sending reinforcements into Fódlan to help quell revolts by the remnants of the Imperial loyalists. Under his guidance, the peoples of Fódlan and Almyra were finally able to set aside age-old prejudices, and over time, the fallacies of old were all but forgotten.
Byleth, Ruler of Dawn & Claude, King of Unification
After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth sought to rebuild the war-torn towns and villages and to help guide the reformation of the Church of Seiros. After a few months of peace, remnants of the Imperial army joined with those who slither in the dark and marched upon the capital city of Derdriu. The new kingdom lacked the power to repel the invaders, but when defeat seemed imminent, a battle cry rang out from the east. Claude, the newly-crowned King of Almyra, led a mighty army that broke through the rebel forces with ease. This show of solidarity forever altered the course of history, heralding a new age of unity.
Claude, King of Unification & Lorenz, Noble of the Red Rose
Claude disappeared from Fódlan after the war, leaving the new head of House Gloucester, Lorenz, to support the new United Kingdom of Fódlan in his stead. He proposed revolutionary polices to restore the war-torn region at a rapid rate. When the rebuilding effort was complete, Lorenz turned his eye toward diplomacy, seeking to establish treaties of friendship with foreign nations. Almyra was no exception, and when the two parties met for a summit at Fódlan's Locket, it was none other than Claude, the new king of Almyra, who arrived to negotiate. Some speculated that this meeting had been Claude's scheme all along, but Lorenz and Claude both denied it.
Claude, King of Unification & Leonie, The Blade Breaker II
Leonie returned to Sauin Village to repay her debts and mysteriously vanished afterwards. Some years later, when trade between Fódlan and Almyra began in earnest, the village received notice that the Almyran king would be passing through on his way to Garreg Mach. The village rushed to prepare themselves. When the anticipated day arrived, they were shocked to find Leonie at the king's side. She had gone to visit Claude in Almyra, and had ended up staying to become his queen. Faced with the sight of Leonie in the resplendent clothing of a monarch, her father and the other villagers could do nothing but stand in mute amazement.
Claude, King of Unification & Lysithea, Scholar of Misfortune
Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra to reclaim his place as heir to the throne. When he became king, he asked Lysithea to be his queen with a heart full of love, and with the hope of fostering friendly diplomatic relations with Fódlan. Due to her shortened lifespan, Lysithea declined. Claude, unable to abandon his love for her, gave up the throne to go on a quest for a means to save her. Years later, he appeared suddenly before her, claiming to have found a cure. With her trust and love to guide him, he whisked her away, across the sea. It is unknown where they went.
Claude, King of Unification & Shamir, Distant Archer
After the war, Claude returned home to Almyra and took his place in the royal family. Some years later he became king, and during his reign, promoted policies to improve relations with Fódlan and protect children who had been left orphaned by the war. After he achieved his goals, he left the throne to a family member and left Almyra. During his travels, he encountered Shamir, who had been wandering the world as a mercenary. It is known that they traveled together from that day forward, but where they journeyed to remains a mystery.
Claude, King of Unification & Flayn, Slumbering Princess
Entrusting the future of Fódlan to his friends, Claude left for Almyra to reclaim his place as heir to the throne. Several years later, when he became king, he took initial steps to open diplomatic relations with Fódlan, and asked Garreg Mach for aid. During this time, he was reunited with Flayn, who had been helping Seteth run the church. She agreed to help, and as they worked together to secure friendly relations between their respective regions, they fell deeply in love. It is said that Seteth never learned of their relationship.

Battle quotes
“ | Claude: Look at that, a real-life princess! I"ll have to be careful not to scar that little face of yours. Edelgard: Careful, Claude. I'll win no matter what, but you're only making things harder for yourself. Claude: Losing hasn't even crossed your mind, has it? Ooh, this'll be a bit of shock, then. Edelgard: To shock was your intention to begin with, was it not? |
” | — Claude, fighting Edelgard in Chapter 1. |

“ | Claude: Psst, Your Princeliness. You've got a thing for Edelgard, right? Come on, fess up. You'll feel better. Dimitri: Claude, please. This is no time for idle banter.

” | — Claude, fighting Dimitri in Chapter 1. |
---|
“ | Claude: Coming up with brilliant schemes, I can handle. No problem. But I'm not much for fighting. Go easy on me! Byleth: ... Claude: You know that was a joke, right? Jeez, not so much as a smile... |
” | — Claude fighting Byleth as an enemy in Chapter 1. |
---|

You must stand and fight! |
” | — Claude, fighting Edelgard in Chapter 7. |
---|
“ | Claude: Hey, Your Royalness! If you promise to let me have the prize, I'll let you take the honor of victory. Do we have a deal? Dimitri: Enough of your foolishness! I— Wait a moment. You are trying to anger me, is that it? Claude: Saw right through me, did you? Well, if there's no deal, I'll just have to win this thing fair and square! Dimitri: I will happily face you, here and now. Do not hold back, Claude! |
” | — Claude, fighting Dimitri in Chapter 7. |
---|
“ | Claude: So, you're the fabled Flame Emperor? Go ahead and enlighten me. What are you planning to do with the Crest Stones? What did you use Flayn's blood for? Who's Kronya? Who's Solon? Flame Emperor: Silence. There is no need for you to know. Claude: Is it that mask that's to blame for your curtness? If so, maybe I should rip it off and ask again. |
” | — Claude, fighting the Flame Emperor in Chapter 11. |
---|
“ | Claude: Here she is—Her Majesty—looking pleased as a dog with a stick. What exactly happened to make you this way? Edelgard: I'm simply seeing through a promise I made to myself a long time ago.

---|
“ | Claude: We haven't seen each other since Garreg Mach. You've grown lovelier than ever, Edelgard. Edelgard: You're not so unfortunate yourself. And as usual, you're here at a most inopportune moment. Claude: Well, I'm sure we have much to talk about... But how about we settle things first? Edelgard: No objections here. Prepare yourself, Claude. |
” | — Claude, as a boss when fighting against Edelgard in Crimson Flower Chapter 14. |
---|
“ | Acheron: The declining Alliance will be finished if I kill you. The Empire will herald the new age! Claude: Only if you manage to kill me. Hm? What's that to the north? Looks like the home of another opportunistic noble is burning... Acheron: That's...that's my castle! NO! Claude: That's the declining Alliance at work, right there. Seems like you were facing the wrong way, Weathervane! |
” | — Claude, fighting Acheron in Verdant Wind Chapter 16. |
---|
“ | Claude: Aren't you gonna stand aside, Lorenz? Unless we win, the Alliance can't survive. Lorenz: Even if that's so, to allow you past without a fight would be pure cowardice, I'm afraid. Claude: You are one stubborn guy. |
” | — Unused dialogue between Claude and an enemy Lorenz in Verdant Wind Chapter 16. |

” | — Claude, fighting the Death Knight in Verdant Wind Chapter 18. |
---|
“ | Claude: It's over, lapdog. Your military rule is at its end. Hubert: For every step you take along that path, our thorns will cut into your heels. Claude: Ooh, that sounds painful. I'll have to wear thicker soles for the march. Hubert: If your boots are too heavy, you won't be able to lift your feet. But enough prattle. |
” | — Claude, fighting Hubert in Verdant Wind Chapter 19. |
---|
“ | Edelgard: Your ideals, I understand they're not so far removed from my own. But without sufficient knowledge of this land's suffering, I can't entrust Fódlan to you! Claude: Perhaps. I daresay it's true that I don't fully understand the history of Fódlan. Still, I've seen many things in my life. Don't worry. I'll finish the job for you. |
” | — Claude, fighting Edelgard in Verdant Wind Chapter 20. |
---|
“ | Thales: Ha. It is laughable that base animals such as you would bare fangs at the likes of us. Claude: I may be a base animal, but I have strong allies. Do you think you can beat Teach and the Sword of the Creator? Thales: The Sword of the Creator... The blade given to Nemesis. Who do you really think is superior? Claude: There's a big difference between the living and the dead. The fate of the future lies in the hands of the living! |
” | — Claude, fighting Thales, in Verdant Wind Chapter 21. |
---|
“ | Claude: Hey... Can you speak? Riegan: ... Claude: Just puppets controlled by Nemesis... Well, they're the strongest puppets I've ever known. |
” | — Claude, fighting Riegan in Verdant Wind Chapter 22. |
---|
“ | Claude: I did hear that some good-for-nothing inherited this territory. I guess that's you, then. Acheron: Who do you think you are? I'm not a good-for-nothing! You are! Claude: If you were actually good for anything at all, I'd at least expect you to recognize who I am... |
” | — Claude, fighting Acheron in Land of the Golden Deer. |
---|
“ | Claude: How could you commit such crimes in the name of Almyra? It's because of two-bit miscreants like you that Almyrans suffer so much hate! Bandit Leader: Sh-shut up! Say what you will, we're the real navy of Almyra! |
” | — Claude, fighting the Bandit Leader in Sword and Shield of Seiros. |
---|
“ | The Wind Caller: I smell those detestable 10 Elites... Who are you? Claude: I'm the grandson of the grandson of the grandson of the elite Riegan. Now tell me who you are! The Wind Caller: I am your family's enemy. If you carry the blood of the 10 Elites, you cannot be permitted to live. Claude: What do you mean by that? And what's that Crest on your forehead? The Wind Caller: No more talk. If you wish to survive, you must destroy me! |
” | — Claude, fighting the Wind Caller in The Sleeping Sand Legend. |
---|
“ | Claude: That looks just like Miklan's Black Beast... Could a Hero's Relic be at fault? Wandering Beast: Hero... There is a word that takes me back. Claude: Takes you back? You... Are you... Wandering Beast: After so long, I cannot speak of it. |

Fire Emblem Cipher
Claude is currently featured on three cards in Fire Emblem Cipher. These cards and other Japanese Cipher parlance denote his name as (クロード(フォドラ) Claude (Fódlan)) in order to differentiate him from Claud, who character-wise is identically-named in Japanese. English-language fandom parlance is divided on whether or not it has need to make such a distinction for themselves, along the lines on whether they prioritize the latter character's official Nintendo of Japan romanization (Claud) or fan translation patches (Claude), with the latter group needing methods to keep the two distinct while the former group having no need to make distinction between the names. As this wiki's stance on the Genealogy character lies on his Nintendo of Japan romanization, this wiki has no need to make usage of any distinction methods, and thus this character's name will be listed as simply "Claude" in the below table.
- Two of the below cards' epithets are still in raw, untranslated Japanese; these need translation.
