“	Grrruah! What is this?! Looks like a tasty snack turned up while we were out!	”	— Agony

Agony (Japanese: デス Death) is one of two leaders of a band of beast laguz bandits who claimed a treasure-filled ruin in the Desert of Death as their territory. Along with his fellow leader of the band, Pain, he attacked Micaiah and the Dawn Brigade when they were drawn into their ruin by a voice Micaiah heard.

Trivia

• Some of Agony's stats contrast Pain's to suggest a sort of theme of duality between the two: his heaven affinity contrasts Pain's earth affinity, his stable type 2 biorhythm contrast's Pain's erratic type 3 one, and his higher skill and speed stats contrast Pain's higher strength and defense stats.
• Eccentric bandit pairs appear to be somewhat of a tradition in Fire Emblem series games, pairs like Pain and Agony appear in other games as well; examples include: Rose and Maggie, Paul and Jasmine, Victor and Vincent, and Llewelyn and Lloyd.
