List of characters in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

This page contains a list of characters appearing in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Due to the two-generation structure of the game, the character list can be effectively split between 2 parts, with only a few characters appearing in both generations. The characters available to a player in the second generation can vary depending on the player's actions. If the player paired the female characters with a lover in the first generation, then the second generation will star their children; otherwise, their role will be replaced by a substitute character.
