“	I'm built tough, you know. A little too much is just enough for me.	”	— Hector, to Eliwood.

Hector (Japanese: ヘクトル Hector) was the father of Lilina, and previous marquess of Ostia. He was also a close friend to Eliwood, as well as being Uther's younger brother, who served as the marquess before him. In his first appearance, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, he was brutally wounded by Narcian and Brunnya, and was thrown in a cell beneath Castle Araphen, and, despite being saved by Roy, succumbed to his death. He was eventually succeeded by his daughter Lilina.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, the prequel to The Binding Blade, he is one of the three main characters of the game, along with Eliwood and Lyn. He first appears in a house in Chapter 7 of Lyn's tale, in which he says Eliwood is late for their regular sparring. Later, he appears in Chapter 12 of Eliwood's route, in which he arrives from Ostia to help Eliwood find his father. Alternatively, in Hector's route, he appears in Chapter 11, in which he is sneaking out of Ostia to find Eliwood. Afterwards, in both routes, he leads the army throughout the rest of the game.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Hector is the leader of the Lycian League Army, Marquess Ostia, and the leader of the Lycian League. He is the father of Lilina and is friends with Eliwood. He and his army is overtaken at a base on the border of Lycia early on in the game, though Roy does rescue him. Hector survives the torture, but sustains major wounds and dies after the battle. He gives Roy the order to lead the Lycian League Army.

After hearing the news, Lilina is deeply upset, but she knows she must stay strong.

Hector is playable on the trial maps after beating the game three times. He is a general.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

As The Blazing Blade is a prequel to The Binding Blade, this game has Hector as a teenager twenty years before the events of The Binding Blade. In this game, Hector is Eliwood's friend, who helps him on his quest to defeat Nergal. He first appears in Chapter 7 of Lyn's tale in a house, saying that Eliwood is late for their monthly sparring match. (Although Hector says that he spars with Eliwood once a month in this chapter, their C-support says that they spar once every two months.)

He then appears in Chapter 12 of Eliwood's tale from the north to help Eliwood defeat some bandits. He accompanies Eliwood to help him find his missing father Elbert. However, after they find that Elbert is dead, their journey's focus switches to defeating the Black Fang, a mysterious organization whose leader killed Eliwood's father. Hector, Eliwood, and Lyn lead their forces together to defeat Nergal, the leader of the Black Fang.

In Hector's tale, Hector is the main character. In his version of Chapter 11, he escapes from the castle of Ostia from his older brother Uther, the marquess, to go find his friend Eliwood. He then finds Eliwood at the same place in Chapter 12 of Eliwood's route. The story is largely the same, but Hector is the primary main character instead of Eliwood. Additionally, he goes to several more places than Eliwood.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Hector is widely regarded as the best of the three lord units in The Blazing Blade. While his base stats are not spectacular, they are sufficient to let him contribute, and his great strength and defense growths mean that he will quickly rise as one of the best units in the early game. His speed is unspectacular, but most enemies have poor speed so this is rarely a problem after he gains enough through level-ups. His Wolf Beil, while still impacted by The Blazing Blade's double effectiveness, does enough damage to potentially one-shot enemy cavaliers and one-round enemy knights. He can wield Hand Axes giving him the ability to attack at 1-2 range, something that the other lords lack. He also has weapon triangle advantage against lances, allowing him to easily deal with Cavaliers, Soldiers, and Pegasus Knights. All three are common enemies in the early game, and Hector does well against them.

Hector's promotion is one of the weakest in the game. While he gains moderate stat increases, he does not gain any more movement, the stat he needs the most. His low movement is his biggest weakness, causing him to fall behind in the action. Being the main lord in Hector's tale compounds this, as it results in him needing to be rescue-dropped closer to the seize point, during which he cannot fight. This isn't a problem in Eliwood's tale, but then his movement becomes a bigger problem as the enemies will be easier and he doesn't get a free deployment slot. He gains access to swords, but axes are generally his best weapons before and after promotion. Even in Eliwood's story, Hector cannot promote until a little more than halfway through the game, and in his own story, he cannot promote until very late. Hector also has very high Constitution, especially after promotion, which makes it hard to rescue him. Even most mounted units cannot rescue him, so it is hard to rescue-drop him.

Overall, Hector is a fantastic melee unit and stands out from the other main characters in the series. While his late promotion and low movement hold him back, he is still more than capable of taking care of himself at any point in the game.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Hector is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Fire Emblem character set. Along with Sigurd and Eliwood, Hector is one of three main characters characters to not have a paid DLC version of himself available. Hector is also present as an enemy in the second and third installments of the Smash Brethren DLC series.

As with several other legacy characters in Awakening, there is a unique weapon named for Hector available through the Barracks or event tiles: Hector's Axe.

Personality

Hector has a quite reckless personality, which shows in many of his conversations. He is never afraid to speak his mind, and often can be quite blunt because of this. However, he still cares greatly for the others, such as when he tells Florina not to cry, or when he tells Serra that he will be her family. He is quite enthusiastic about fighting and sparring, He trains very hard with to improve his axefighting skills. Hector lets his emotions get the best of him at times; for example, when Leila is killed, he vows to destroy all of the Black Fang, since he doesn't know who killed her.

In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Hector is the younger brother of Uther, the current marquess of Ostia. He is a close friend of Eliwood, the son of Elbert, the marquess of Pherae. Oswin, an armored knight, and Matthew, a spy, are two fighters from Ostia ordered by Uther to help him; Hector considers them close friends. His parents are dead from illness, which is why his brother is the current marquess. Twenty years later, in The Binding Blade, he has a daughter named Lilina. He vows to protect her until he dies, and early in the game, he is killed by Zephiel, the king of Bern.

When Hector and Eliwood were young, they were with other young lords in a room waiting for their parents, who were pledging oaths. As a warrior's custom, he cut his hand and shook the hand of Eliwood, who had done the same. He and Eliwood have been sparring every two months since they were twelve, with an almost-even record of wins and losses. They are in disagreement over the win and loss records, but they have had either 30 or 31 matches, meaning that they are probably seventeen years old.
