— Hicks in Chapter 6: The Escape
|
Hicks (Japanese: ヒックス Hicks) is a minor playable character appearing in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is an axe knight from Munster.
Role
Some time before Chapter 4x Hicks's son, Mafy, was kidnapped as part of the child hunts and locked in the dungeon in Munster keep to later be sent to Grannvale. Hicks lived in the nearby town but was unable to recover his son by himself.
Hicks appears in Chapter 6. If Leif rescued Hicks's son in Chapter 4x, he agrees to come along for the opportunity to take down Raydrik. If Mafy was not rescued, Hicks is distraught at the loss of his son and angrily tells whoever visits his house to leave.
If Hicks accompanies Leif's liberation army, he is present until at least the liberation of Munster. His involvement, if any, with the war after Leif's forces merged with Seliph's is unknown, as he does not appear in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.

Analysis
Hicks fits into a similar role as Brighton, another Axe Knight, but has stronger growths in trade for Wrath. In the long term, Hicks will turn out better than Brighton, but with a lower Sword rank and further out combat availability (Brighton appears in Chapter 4, an extremely combat-heavy map), Hicks will need to catch up and will inevitably have a worse enemy phase without a Wrath M. Indoors, he will suffer even further without his mounted movement and no noteworthy traits.
Personality and character
Hicks has little dialogue and is a fairly nondescript character. It is evident that he deeply cares for his son Mafy.
