Biography

Blaiddyd was one of the 10 Elites who aided Nemesis during the War of Heroes. Like the other Elites, he had received the blood of a Nabatean from Nemesis, which manifested as a Crest; as well, he had received his own Hero's Relic, the lance Areadbhar. At some point, he established a noble house in the land that would later become Faerghus, and started a family; this led to his bloodline and Crest to continue persisting through Fódlan's history. During the War of Heroes, he fought alongside Nemesis against Seiros and her army, but lost. Blaiddyd was later hunted by the Adrestian Empire and killed, but his descendants were allowed to live and maintain power in Fódlan, both to keep the war from going on any longer, and also so that the truth of the Crests and the Relics would not be known.

If Byleth chose to lead the Golden Deer, those who slither in the dark's millennium-long plan for revenge against Seiros lead to his resurrection in Imperial Year 1186, alongside Nemesis and the other Elites. As part of the army raised by Nemesis, he cut a bloody swathe through eastern Fódlan alongside them in an attempt to reach Seiros at Garreg Mach Monastery, but he was slain for good by the Leicester forces led by Byleth and Claude.

Trivia

  • Each of the 10 Elites can fight at least one of their playable Crest-bearing descendants except Blaiddyd, whose only playable Crest-bearing descendant—Dimitri—is not available on the Verdant Wind route. As the Riegan family is related to the Blaiddyd family, Blaiddyd is capable of fighting a playable descendant in Claude, though not one bearing the Crest of Blaiddyd.
