({{hover|レプトール|Reputōru}} ''Reptor'') was the Duke of [[Grannvale]]'s House [[Friege]] and the Chancellor of Grannvale as a whole. Fearing the rise of Prince [[Kurth]] as a prominent figure in the Grannvale political arena, he conspired with Duke [[Langobalt]] of [[Dozel]] to seize power over the country for themselves, framing [[Vylon]] and [[Sigurd]] of [[Chalphy]] for crimes of treason against Kurth and Grannvale as a whole.

Reptor remained behind in Grannvale during the war with [[Isaach]] in Grann 757, continuing to serve as Chancellor while working with Langobalt and [[Arvis]] on the first seeds of their plan, sowing rumors of plots by Vylon and Sigurd to usurp the throne while they were absent at war in Isaach and [[Agustria]] respectively.<ref>{{Cite|'''Filat:''' There's been some nasty rumours making the rounds in the Royal Court. It's going around that Prince Quan of Leonster, King Eldigan of Nordion, and yourself are conspiring against His Majesty. They say that explains why you're hiding the Prince of Isaach.<br>'''Sigurd:''' That's absurd! Who could've started such a story!?<br>'''Filat:''' Duke Reptor and Lord Langobalt.|[[Filat]] and [[Sigurd]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Late in the war, he arranged for Isaach's King [[Mananan]] to be assassinated, in order to prolong the war by preventing Mananan from sharing the reality of the [[Darna]] assault with Kurth and to anger the Isaach people into further conflict.<ref>{{Cite|There's more. The death of King Mananan also turned out to be Lord Reptor's handiwork.

I'd suspect them.<br>'''Claud:''' I also thought so, but there's no evidence on either one of them. And the Reptor faction currently has control of the Royal Court.|[[Sigurd]] and [[Claud]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Shortly afterward, he and Langobalt led an army to [[Agustria]] to capture Sigurd, following the latter's conquest of the country, but Sigurd eluded their capture by escaping to [[Silesse]].

Later in Grann 760, when the armies of Dozel and Velthomer set out to arrest Sigurd in Silesse, Reptor remained behind in Grannvale to maintain order, leading a Friege army to support [[Aida]] at Velthomer Castle, the last line of defense against Sigurd's army. Upon receiving word of Langobalt's defeat at Phinora, Reptor objected to Arvis apparently lying to him by claiming that their thinly-spread armies would be enough to take Sigurd, but reluctantly accepted his reassurances and returned to his post outside Velthomer with General [[Aida]]. While suspicious of Arvis's intent, Reptor set it aside and proceeded as planned, until Aida gave the order for the Velthomer army to turn on the Friege forces. Overwhelmed by both Sigurd's and Aida's armies, Reptor was killed in battle.

==Personality and character==

Reptor highly valued political power, seeing it as the ultimate means of progressing in life and an absence thereof as a sign of weakness which ensures a certain doom for those without.<ref>{{Cite|Hmph, you idiot! Politics is all about power! Your father had no power, which is why he died.|Reptor|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> His actions in seeking to claim Grannvale for himself were entirely motivated by feeling his own power and prestige among Grannvale's nobility was threatened by the rise of Kurth and Vylon, and that eliminating them would secure his ongoing place in the world.<ref>{{Cite|Chancellor Reptor of Friege felt his position was being undermined. Calling on the avaricious Lord Langobalt of Dozel, the two formed a coalition opposing the prince's authority.|Opening narration of [[Birth of a Crusader|the Prologue]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> His greed for power made him easy for Arvis and [[Manfroy]] to manipulate, and yet while he was paranoid of being betrayed by Arvis, he nonetheless resigned himself to taking Arvis on face value with no other recourse, only for his suspicions to be confirmed in the end.<ref>{{Cite|'''Reptor:''' I know. I just wonder if Arvis really is going to back me up, and is not just sticking us out here to die.<br>'''Aida:''' Arvis just put the finishing touches on his plan of attack.

* According to ''[[Fire Emblem: Treasure]]'', Reptor had an unidentified fourth child, who was born between Bloom and Tailtiu as his second child. This child presumably died before the events of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', as on the family tree, their entry (defined as "unknown") is scratched out.<ref>A family tree in ''[[Fire Emblem: Treasure]]'' ([http://serenesforest.net/random/img/family2.jpg scan by Serenes Forest])</ref>
