“	That Queen Hilda of Chronos is wicked to the core. She began abducting kids after allying with this dark bishop. She kills the mothers, too, without a blink of an eye! That woman's not even human. I'd say she's more like a devil!	”	— A Miletos villager

(Japanese: ヒルダ Hilda) was the wife of Duke Bloom of Freege, a relative of the Velthomer nobility of Grannvale, and the mother of Ishtar and Ishtore. She was responsible for the relentless abuse of Tailto/Ethnia while in Bloom's captivity, resulting in her death, and as the appointed Queen of Miletos in the Grannvale occupation of the region, personally participated in the Loptyrian child hunts in the country.

Biography

At some point during the era of the Grannvale Empire, Hilda's father - a Velthomer nobleman - was killed by revolutionaries against the Grannvalean rule of Jugdral. When Bloom abducted Tailto/Ethnia and her daughter Teeny/Linda from their hiding in Silesse and imprisoned them, Hilda took to viciously abusing the two, both physically and verbally, for years on end until her actions ultimately caused Tailto/Ethnia's death.

With the occupied Miletos territory placed under the rule of House Freege, Hilda was appointed the "Queen of Miletos" while Bloom governed the Manster District. Ruling Miletos from Chronos Castle, she was a prominent architect of the massacres and child abductions in the region, until the arrival of Seliph's liberation army in Miletos. She was defeated at Chronos, but survived the battle and retreated to Grannvale. At Grannvale, in the final confrontation with Seliph's army, Hilda was entrusted with the defense of Freege Castle, the last obstacle between Seliph and Julius himself at Belhalla, and died in the battle.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Hilda is the first boss of Chapter 10, fought at Chronos Castle. While she is the first the player will pass, she can be ignored for a while and the player can go fight Morigan at Rados Castle instead if they choose, but both must be defeated and seized to progress to Miletos Castle.

Hilda later re-appears as the third boss of the Endgame, fighting outside Freege Castle with the Gelb Ritter.

Personality and character

Hilda was violent and bloodthirsty, delighting in the suffering of the people of Miletos under the rule of Grannvale and the Loptyrians, regularly participating in the massacres herself, and considering the murders of escaped children to be a perfectly normal "lesson" to the people of Miletos. In particular, she had an intense hatred for Tailto/Ethnia as a result of their status as traitors to Grannvale; while she freely and gleefully admitted to her abuse of Tailto/Ethnia, she nonetheless claimed that they were "ungrateful" toward her, as if she expected gratitude from them for her actions. She appeared to have an interest in her family scaling the social order, as evidenced by her insistence on Ishtar's pursuit of her relationship with Julius. At the same time as her heinous deeds, she nonetheless claimed that the demise of Ishtore and Bloom at the hands of Seliph's army was itself a vicious crime on Seliph's part worthy of eternal emnity from House Freege.
