The (Japanese: ダークプリンス Dark Prince) is an enemy-exclusive class present only in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War as the personal class of the game's final boss, Julius. The class has access to all three types of anima magic in addition to dark magic, although in practice Julius only ever wields fire and dark magic. As the class of a final boss, the Dark Prince possesses high stats with the exception of its strength.

The Dark Prince also exists in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, but in the finished game appears only in Julius's appearance in cutscenes. Although unused in gameplay, a full set of battle statistics still exists for it.
