“ | As you wish. | ” | — Limstella to Nergal |
---|
Limstella (Japanese: リムステラ Limstella) was a powerful morph and sage appearing in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade that was created by Nergal. Nergal claimed that they were his masterpiece, and his most powerful morph.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Limstella is a major antagonist appearing sparingly throughout Fire Emblem's entirety. Serving under Nergal, they collect the quintessence of various Black Fang leaders killed by Eliwood's party.
They also kill Lloyd or Linus, due to them catching on to Nergal's and Sonia's treachery within the Black Fang's leadership.
Their final appearance is in Chapter 30E/32H: Victory or Death, where they are killed, despite being granted with immense power by Nergal shortly beforehand,[1] by Eliwood's, Hector's, and Lyn's combined forces.
Stats
- Stats with two figures separated by a ~ are presented as a range, representing stats that vary due to random growths. The figures to the left and right of the ~ are the stat's minimum and maximum possible values respectively.

Personality and character
Limstella, like most other known morphs, is distant, calculating, and eternally loyal to their master and creator Nergal. They do not outwardly express any emotions, and follow Nergal's every command without question.
Limsella conducts interactions with subordinates in a formal and impersonal manner. She keeps her tone neutral and states things plainly even when informing others of their failures.[2][3] Sonia seems to have been the only person to come anywhere close to provoking a reaction from Limstella. If Limstella is present to witness Sonia's death in the conclusion of Night of Farewells, Limstella makes a comment that "Puppets have no essence to harvest."; "puppet" is a rather informal word for Limstella to use, though it is a word Sonia herself would use often when berating morphs.[4]
Limstella may possess some unintended emotional capacity, which can be gleaned from speculation stated by Canas and Renault,[5] as well as her dying words.[6] In particular, she expresses sorrow during their death. While it is technically ambiguous as to what they are sorrowful about, it is likely to be due to their time in service to Nergal has ended.
