Grima (ギムレー Gimurei) is an antagonistic Earth Dragon, who in ancient times sought to conquer the continent of Archanea/Ylisse. He is reviled in most of the world as the "Fell Dragon", but in Plegia he is worshipped as a "Divine Dragon" and their god.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Approximately 1000 years before the events of Fire Emblem Awakening, Grima attempted to conquer the continent by blood-bonding with and possessing humans, with the support of a cult of followers, the Grimleal. Grima was stopped by a man with whom Naga had blood-bonded and who wielded the Falchion (and therefore very probably a descendant of Marth); in his defeat, Grima was slain and is in the modern era considered to be "sleeping". The man then went on to become the first Exalt of Ylisse.

The remainder of the Grimleal after Grima's defeat founded the nation of Plegia, and the cult waited for a child to be born with pure enough blood of Grima to be his vessel, thereby facilitating his return. To ensure that the past would fall into disarray, the future Grima traveled back in time with the body of Robin of his timeline and attempted to possess Robin. However, after being weakened by the time travel, he was unable to fully possess them, weakening him further and leaving Robin with amnesia.

After Validar's failure to assassinate Emmeryn, and his subsequent death, he is revived by Grima to complete the mission of reviving Grima at his full power. Validar becomes the king of Plegia after Gangrel's defeat, and he introduces Grima in Future Robin's body to Chrom and Robin as the Hierophant. To their shock, they realize the Hierophant resembles Robin(due to being the body of the Robin of the future).

Validar is defeated by the Shepherds again after stealing the Fire Emblem from Chrom. Despite this, the Hierophant approaches them and reveals that they look like Robin because they are Robin from the ruined future, who was successfully possessed by Grima and killed Chrom. The Hierophant succeeds in reviving the Fell Dragon by their own hand.

Grima

Possibly a contraction of "grimoire", a book of magical instruction often in the context of the summoning of demons and/or the zoologically dubious, the Old English word grīma or the Old Norse and Icelandic gríma, meaning "mask", or derived from "grim". Like his Japanese name, "Grima" is also the name of a character in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings book series: Grima Wormtongue, a sorcerer in league with Saruman.
