Appearance(s)

Frey is a cavalier in the Fire Emblem series, appearing in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Role

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Frey is a newly introduced character. He and Abel survive Gra's initial attack, and Princess Elice orders them to protect Marth. He and Abel join him, and escape Altea with the aid of fellow knights Cain and Jagen. However, Frey sacrifices himself to save the group by luring a massive enemy army away by disguising himself as Marth. Frey is apparently killed, but he survives the battle. He lives out the rest of the War of Shadows as an amnesiac, but eventually regains his memories and returns to Altea after the war.

Trivia

  • Due to Frey not being present in the original story of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light nor the Hard Mode of Shadow Dragon (where the Prologue is skipped), he is considered to be the canonical "sacrifice" used in the Prologue of Shadow Dragon. This was confirmed in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem in Frey's conversations with the Avatar, where Frey states that though he was severely injured by Gra's forces, he lives to tell the tale.
  • In Shadow Dragon, Frey's character ending is listed at the end of the Epilogue regardless of whether he was the sacrifice or not, while everyone else's endings are listed in the order that they are recruited.
