Fado (Japanese: ファード Fado) is a character who appears in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is the king of Renais, and the father of the main characters, Eirika and Ephraim.

He is killed by Grado's forces.
He is an extra recruitable unit in Creature Campaign. Like the rest of the Creature Campaign-exclusive characters, he has no dialogue whatsoever.
