Metodey (Japanese: メトジェイ Metojay) is a minor antagonist appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is a hired gun who works for the Flame Emperor in the main story and kidnaps Aelfric in Cindered Shadows.

Biography

Metodey is a mercenary for hire, infamous in Abyss for his willingness to do anything as long he gets paid.[2] He makes his first chronological appearance in Cindered Shadows as the leader of a group of bandits who had abducted Aelfric in order to seize the Chalice of Beginnings. Byleth and the Ashen Wolves quickly find and defeat him, only for Metodey to escape as he considers the Chalice is not worth dying for.

Metodey next appears in main story interrupting Archibshop Rhea's Holy Tomb ceremony under the service of the Flame Emperor, with the intention to raid the tomb of its Crest Stones just after Byleth had just sat down on Sothis's throne. Metodey then attempts to slay either Byleth and/or their class should they initiate battle with him, only to likely end up killed in the process. If ignored, he won't make any further story appearances.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Role

Metodey is a mini-boss in Chapter 11 of the main story and the boss of Chapter 5 in Cindered Shadows.

Personality

While seemingly motivated purely by money and fame, Metodey shows a sadistic steak when it comes to killing his targets, suggesting he relishes doing particularly violent jobs. Should Metodey end up bested in battle however, he will quickly swallow his pride and beg for forgiveness, even claiming he was merely following orders.
