Jeritza was born Emile, heir to House Bartels of [[Adrestia]]. His mother was a commoner who married his father for financial security for her daughter [[Mercedes]], but his father was only interested in her Crest and banished the two as soon as Emile was born. | Jeritza was born Emile von Bartels, heir to House Bartels of [[Adrestia]]. His mother was a commoner who married his father for financial security for her daughter [[Mercedes]], but his father was only interested in her Crest and banished the two as soon as Emile was born. When Emile was eight years old, his mother and sister absconded to [[Faerghus]]; Emile remained behind, fearing that his father would hunt them down and kill both of them if they fled with his true-born heir. Eventually, Emile's father tracked the two down and decided that since Emile's mother was past the age of bearing children, he would marry Mercedes to have more children with the Crest of Lamine. Emile snapped and massacred House Bartels, and because of this incident developed a homicidal split personality known as the Death Knight. In the aftermath, Princess [[Edelgard]] von Hresvelg discovered him, arranged for him to be adopted into the Hrym family under the name Jeritza, and took him into her service in order to make use of his skills for her plans to overthrow the [[Church of Seiros]]. Eventually, with the recommendation of [[Lord Arundel]], Jeritza took a post as a fencing instructor at the [[Officer's Academy]] at [[Garreg Mach Monastery]]. | ||
Jeritza spends Part I aiding | Jeritza spends Part I aiding Edelgard in her [[Flame Emperor]] identity. Jeritza can be seen around the Monastery prior to [[Rumors of a Reaper|Chapter 6]]. He is first seen as the Death Knight accompanying a raid on the Holy Mausoleum, but does not engage the students sent to stop them unless attacked first. Jeritza is responsible for kidnapping [[Flayn]] and stabbing [[Manuela]] during Chapter 6. He develops a fixation on the students' teacher [[Byleth]] and directly challenges them after their investigation leads them to the underground chamber where Flayn is held, but is ordered to retreat by the Flame Emperor. The Monastery faculty correctly conclude that Jeritza is the Death Knight, and he is not seen around the Monastery for the rest of Part I. | ||

After the Flame Emperor is unmasked as Edelgard, the Death Knight fights in the Battle of Garreg Mach on Adrestia's side, potentially allying with Byleth to do so. Afterwards, the Death Knight takes up a post as an Adrestian general. | ||

In any of the other three routes, if both Mercedes and [[Caspar]] are recruited, a [[paralogue]] can be played in which Mercedes deduces that his true identity is Emile, and he gives her her family Relic, the [[Rafail Gem]], before threatening to kill Mercedes the next time they meet and departing.

If Caspar defeats the Death Knight, the Death Knight gives him his [[Scythe of Sariel]] as a reward. | ||
In Azure Moon, afterwards, regardless of whether this paralogue was completed, the Death Knight is assigned to defend Fort Merceus from the invading [[Faerghus]] army. He fails in this task and is killed in battle, dying in his half-sister's arms. | In Azure Moon, afterwards, regardless of whether this paralogue was completed, the Death Knight is assigned to defend Fort Merceus from the invading [[Faerghus]] army.

==Personality and character== | ==Personality and character== | ||
It is strongly suggested in his supports that Jeritza suffers from some form of dissociative identity disorder, with distinct mannerisms, reactions to other characters, and general temperament and personality between his “Jeritza” and “Death Knight” personas. | |||
Jeritza | |||
Jeritza dislikes mingling with others, and will actively reject any attempt to make small talk. He spends most of his time at the Monastery alone and near the training grounds. Jeritza is a man of few words, but he does care deeply about Mercedes. He desperately struggles to maintain control of his Death Knight personality, to the point where he is actually willing to desert the Empire to keep her safe when he nearly turns his blade on her during a conversation. Jeritza is also very loyal to Edelgard for rescuing him after the massacre of House Bartels and giving him a purpose in life. | |||
As the Death Knight, he is an extremely intimidating figure. He deeply enjoys battle to the point of not caring whether his own life is placed in jeopardy, and develops a particular fixation on Byleth as the story progresses. He also tends to chafe at taking orders, and on several occasions disobeys his superiors to act on his own impulses. However, he is not entirely devoid of compassion or honor; he sincerely apologizes to Manuela for stabbing her during the events of Chapter 6 on the Black Eagles route, he gives Caspar the Scythe of Sariel if he defeats him in battle as a sign of respect, and he gives his half-sister Mercedes their family Hero's Relic (although he says that he would not hesitate to kill her in their next encounter). | As the Death Knight, he is an extremely intimidating figure.
