==Biography==
==Biography==
Dedue is a commoner from Duscur who owes Dimitri a great debt.
Dedue was born an ordinary commoner from the nation of [[Duscur]]. After the [[Tragedy of Duscur]], where King [[Lambert]] of [[Faerghus]] was assassinated during peace talks with Duscur, Kingdom forces invaded and genocided Duscur in retribution for his death. Dedue was personally rescued from lynching by Lambert's son [[Dimitri]], became one of the few survivors of the massacre, and developed an intense personal loyalty to the young prince. In 1180, Dedue and Dimitri enrolled in the [[Officer's Academy]] at [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] and became members of the [[Blue Lions]] house. Throughout 1180, he studies and fights alongside the Blue Lions. When [[Edelgard]] declares war on the [[Church of Seiros]], he fights on the Church's side, but is defeated. Afterwards, he and Dimitri return to Faerghus.
 
On the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind routes, Dedue continues to follow Dimitri as he raises an army under the Blaiddyd banner. He fights in the Battle at Gronder on Faerghus' side, but the Kingdom is defeated and Dimitri is slain. A distraught and enraged Dedue swears to kill Edelgard and avenge Dimitri. He makes his way to Enbarr and delivers intelligence to [[Byleth]] and their forces about the layout of the Imperial palace, then indirectly cooperates with Resistance/Alliance forces in the final battle with Edelgard. If he survives the final battle, he destroys Edelgard's corpse before disappearing for parts unknown.
 
On the Azure Moon route, court mage [[Cornelia]] frames Dimitri for the murder of the regent, [[Rufus]]; Dedue sacrifices himself to help Dimitri escape, and is presumed dead in the aftermath. If Byleth [[War for the Weak|helped peacefully subdue a Duscur rebellion]], his Duscur brethren rescue him, and he spends the next five years recuperating from his injuries. Dedue rejoins the Kingdom army at the Great Bridge of Myrddin and fights alongside Dimitri and Byleth for the rest of the war.
 
On the Crimson Flower route, Dedue remains by Dimitri's side throughout the war with the Empire. He faces Byleth directly at the Tailtean Plains, and distributes Crest Stones stored in the Fhirdiad castle vaults to both himself and several volunteers to transform into [[Demonic Beast]]s in a desperate attempt to slow down the Imperial advance. His efforts prove in vain, and he is defeated and killed; if he was defeated before having the chance to transform, he dies peacefully together with Dimitri.

'''Dimitri, Savior King & Dedue, Taciturn Devotee'''<br>
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and his loyal vassal, Dedue, remained ever at his side. Among Dimitri's achievements was the reconciliation with Duscur: an extraordinary effort that required extensive negotiations to get past a history of betrayal and oppression. It was a trying task, but Dimitri never once considered giving up. While they behaved as lord and vassal in public, it is said that Dimitri and Dedue were more like family in private. When Dimitri finally fell to illness, Dedue tended to his liege's deathbed, and then took up a post at his grave for the rest of his days. When the time came, they were buried beside each other.
