“	Bramimond, one of the eight legends, devoted [itself] entirely to the dark. All emotion, all memory... dissolved in a river of dark. That is how [it] received the power to best dragons.	”	— Teodor, talking to the Lords about Bramimond.

Bramimond (Japanese: ブラミモンド, Bramimond) was one of the Eight Generals of Elibe who fought in the Scouring. It was a master of Dark Magic and wielded the tome Apocalypse. As such, Bramimond no longer has any "self". Hector also notices this, and is baffled by the fact that its voice keeps changing.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Bramimond is not seen in-game (having died following the events of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade), but he is part of the backstory, being one of the Eight Generals who fought on the side of men during the Scouring. After Chapter 21x: The Elder Revelation, the party obtains his Legendary Weapon, Apocalypse.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

After the events of Chapter 27: Cog of Destiny, Athos brings Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn to Bramimond in order to convince it to undo the seal on the Legendary Weapons so that they can vanquish Nergal. Bramimond initially refuses, but it sees Eliwood's similarity to his friend Roland, it agrees to release the seal. Bramimond returns to sleep and is not seen again until after Nergal's defeat, when it resurrects Ninian to help defeat the Fire Dragon that has come through the Dragon's Gate. After the battle, Bramimond tells a dying Athos that it will most likely follow him soon. He is not given an ending, not having been a playable character.

Fire Emblem Heroes

While Bramimond does not appear itself in Heroes, it is mentioned in Part 1 of Paralogue 3: Blazing Shadows by Bruno, who has travelled to the World of Blazing in search of information on a dark god whose blood runs in the veins of the Emblian royal family. Bruno comes into possession of a tome owned by Bramimond, and finds therein a passage discussing the dark god, but the text trails off without disclosing the god's true name. Frustrated by this setback, he remarks that certain people in the World of Blazing may have witnessed the events in Embla through the medium of the Dragon's Gate on the isle of Valor.

Personality and Character

Bramimond was born a normal human, but as he delved deeper into the secrets of dark magic, he eventually gave up his own self to master darkness. Bramimond (now better referred to as an "it") then used its newfound power to fight with the other seven Generals against the dragons during the Scouring. After the war, Bramimond was the only one of the Generals who did not leave on a legacy. Instead, it slept underground in the Shrine of Seals, where it could protect the seal that kept the Legendary Weapons sealed away from human hands. After assisting the party with defeating Nergal and the Fire Dragon, Bramimond tells a dying Athos that it will most likely follow him soon
