Volkhard von Arundel is an [[Adrestia]]n noble who was granted the title of Lord Arundel and rule of a region on the [[Adrestia]]n border with [[Faerghus]] after his sister [[Patricia]] became one of Emperor [[Ionius IX]]'s consorts. He is credited as being one of the chief instigators of the Insurrection of the Seven, a soft coup in 1171 that rendered Ionius IX a politically impotent figurehead. In 1171, he took his Patricia and his niece [[Edelgard]] and fled to Faerghus, where they would live for three years; Patricia married King [[Lambert]] and became queen consort during this time. In 1174, he and Edelgard returned to the Empire. He also unexpectedly stopped donating money to the [[Church of Seiros]] at this time, and was speculated many years later by his step-nephew [[Dimitri]] to have had a hand in orchestrating the [[Tragedy of Duscur]]. | Volkhard von Arundel is an [[Adrestia]]n noble who was granted the title of Lord Arundel and rule of a region on the [[Adrestia]]n border with [[Faerghus]] after his sister [[Patricia]] became one of Emperor [[Ionius IX]]'s consorts.

Lord Arundel and a cult known as "[[those who slither in the dark]]" teamed up with several corrupt Adrestian nobles responsible for abducting all of Ionius IX's children and subjecting them to horrific experimentation to imbue them with two Crests in order to wield the [[Sword of the Creator]], challenge the Nabateans' dominance over humanity, and ultimately conquering all of [[Fódlan]]. The sole survivor of these experiments was Edelgard, who swore to destroy both Arundel and his co-conspirators and the Church of Seiros which she blamed for propagating the Crest-worship that led to the deaths of her siblings. To this end, Edelgard reluctantly agreed to work with Arundel in order to make use of his resources to defeat the Church, intending to double-cross him after he outlived his usefulness. | Lord Arundel and a cult known as "[[those who slither in the dark]]" teamed up with several corrupt Adrestian nobles, such as [[Duke Aegir]], responsible for abducting all of Ionius IX's children and subjecting them to horrific experimentation to imbue them with two Crests in order to wield the [[Sword of the Creator]], challenge the Nabateans' dominance over humanity, and ultimately conquering all of [[Fódlan]].

Lord Arundel is briefly seen conspiring with Edelgard in her [[Flame Emperor]] identity and taking command of the [[Death Knight]]. If [[Byleth]] is a member of the [[Blue Lions]], he also has a brief conversation with Dimitri shortly before [[The Flame in the Darkness|the incident in Remire Village]]. During the Battle of Garreg Mach on all routes other than Crimson Flower, Lord Arundel commands Adrestian reinforcements to relieve Edelgard after she is defeated in combat by Church forces. He makes no further appearances on the Silver Snow or Verdant Wind routes. | Lord Arundel is briefly seen conspiring with Edelgard in her [[Flame Emperor]] identity and taking command of the [[Death Knight]].
