Rhea (pronounced /⁠'ɹeɪə⁠/[key]; Japanese: レア Rhea) is a character appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is the archbishop of the Church of Seiros, and has served in this role since Jeralt's days as a knight. Her true identity is Seiros (pronounced /⁠'sɛɹoʊs⁠/[key]; Japanese: セイロス Seiros), the slayer of Nemesis in Imperial Year 91, revered as a saint in the Church of Seiros.

Biography

Rhea was born as the child of Sothis from her blood, among others, and together they lived at Zanado. The King of Liberation, Nemesis, who had stolen her mother's remains and made the Sword of the Creator with them, invaded Zanado with his army and killed all of the goddess' children, save Rhea. Thirsty for revenge, she took up the name Seiros, gathered soldiers from Fódlan, and led an attack against Nemesis and the 10 Elites. At the Tailtean Plains, she killed Nemesis. Afterwards, she founded the Church of Seiros. By the Imperial Year 1159, she had become the Archbishop of the Church of Seiros under the name Rhea.

Endings

Byleth, Wandering Flame & Rhea (Silver Snow)
After finally saving both Fódlan and Rhea from crisis, Byleth ascended the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. From his/her temporary residence at Garreg Mach Monastery, he endeavored to restore and develop Fódlan. Having narrowly escaped death, Rhea took time to recover her strength before returning to her role as archbishop. Upon her return, she applied herself to rehabilitating the church and helping those who had suffered because of the war. Thereafter, the two worked closely to forge new policies and achieve progress for Fódlan. The pair's collective work came to be thought of as nothing short of miraculous.

Quotes

Battle quotes

You... How dare you betray me... You worthless piece of garbage... I will punish you myself!
— Rhea, as a boss fighting Byleth in Black Eagles Chapter 12.
Rhea: No matter your reasons, I cannot permit you to go on living any longer!
Edelgard: The feeling is mutual. I must put a stop to your reign of tyranny!
Rhea: You must know what a fool you are. The greatest of sins is to make an enemy of the goddess herself!
Edelgard: I have only made an enemy of the church, not of the faith.

— Rhea, as a boss fighting Edelgard in Black Eagles Chapter 12.
So you have sullied yourself by joining the rebels? I hope you came prepared to breathe your last.
— Rhea, as a boss in Black Eagles Chapter 12.
I once walked this world as Seiros, the warrior... and defeated the Fell King Nemesis. Now, here I stand, facing one who wields the same sword as he... The fate you have chosen is also the same as his... To die in torment upon my sword, as the very lifeblood you have forsaken spills onto the earth!
— Rhea, as an enemy fighting Byleth in Crimson Flower Chapter 17.
Rhea: An ancestor of the Hresvelgs, who became Adrestia's first emperor... He saved me. Supported me. Gave his all to the cause of defeating Nemesis. That I should find myself here at Tailtean, striking down his scion...
Edelgard: I don't advise presumptions, Rhea. I will not die by your hand.

— Rhea, as an enemy fighting Edelgard in Crimson Flower Chapter 17.
You are all damned, with no hope of salvation. For the sin of insurgency, you shall be consigned to hell!
— Rhea, as an enemy in Crimson Flower Chapter 17.
Give her back... Give back my mother! Gaaaaaah!
— The Immaculate One, as an enemy fighting Byleth in Crimson Flower Chapter 18.
Edelgard: So it's true. You don't value human life at all. Isn't that right, Immaculate One?
The Immaculate One: Nonsense! Fools who do not accept their own sins are undeserving of salvation! You humans are the ones who betrayed! You betrayed me, and you betrayed my mother!
Edelgard: I did not betray you or her. I never believed in you from the beginning.

— The Immaculate One, as an enemy fighting Edelgard in Crimson Flower Chapter 18.
I see that the years have not cured humanity of its folly... You still wish to hurt and betray my mother and myself!
— The Immaculate One, as an enemy in Crimson Flower Chapter 18.
Graaaaargh!
— The Immaculate One's battle quote in Chapter 21 of Silver Snow.

Death/retreat quotes

You shall not be forgiven!

Graaargh...
