Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd (pronounced /dɪ'mitɹi ɑlɛɡ'zɑndɹə 'bleɪθɪd/[key]; Japanese: ディミトリ=アレクサンドル=ブレーダッド Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd) is one of the three main characters, alongside Edelgard and Claude,[2] appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is the prince of the Kingdom of Faerghus and the leader of the Blue Lions house at the Officers Academy.
Biography
Dimitri is the crown prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. In Imperial Year 1171, Dimitri's maternal stepsister Princess Edelgard of the Adrestian Empire came to Faerghus with her uncle, Lord Arundel, and the two became fast friends. When she returned to the Empire in 1174, he gave her a dagger as a parting gift. In 1176, he was the sole survivor of the Tragedy of Duscur, in which his father King Lambert and many of his knights and friends were murdered, allegedly by assassins from the Duscur region. This incident permanently warped the young prince, leaving him with a deep-seated grudge against the perpetrators and a hidden capacity for extreme violence, although he always suspected that the people of Duscur had been scapegoated. In the aftermath of the Tragedy, he saved a young Duscur commoner named Dedue from being lynched, leading him to develop an extremely strong sense of loyalty towards Dimitri.
In 1180, Dimitri enrolled at the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery along with several of his friends and people from his kingdom. Around this time, a mercenary named Byleth rescued him from bandits hired by a mysterious masked individual calling themself the Flame Emperor. Byleth was rewarded with a teaching post at the Officers Academy, and their choice of which house to lead would have far-reaching consequences for all of Fódlan.
In all routes, Dimitri spends the next year studying at the Officers Academy along with the Blue Lions. Eventually, the Flame Emperor is unmasked as Edelgard, and she assumes the Adrestian throne and declares war on the Church of Seiros in order to destroy the Crest system she believes is stagnating the world. Edelgard launches a full-scale invasion of Garreg Mach Monastery and Dimitri fights alongside the Church, but the monastery is overrun and Byleth goes missing. In all routes other than the Crimson Flower route, after the fall of Garreg Mach, Rhea vanishes and Dimitri returns to Faerghus. However, the mage Cornelia frames him for the murder of his regent and uncle Rufus, and he only escapes when Dedue sacrifices himself and is presumably executed in his stead. Believing all of his friends and family dead, Dimitri spends the next five years living as a vagrant in the Garreg Mach region and mercilessly slaughtering Imperial soldiers and bandits, and his mental state continues to deteriorate until he becomes completely obsessed with revenge on Edelgard.
Silver Snow
If Byleth chooses to lead the Black Eagles and then chooses to remain with Rhea and the church and oppose Edelgard, Dimitri eventually regroups with the former Blue Lions and raises an army under his banner. He makes his way to Gronder Field and attacks both Imperial and Alliance forces, but his army perishes in the conflict. After news of the three-way battle reaches the resistance army, Byleth goes to the outskirts of Garreg Mach and sees Dimitri, who laments the fact that he could not kill Edelgard as well as the deaths of Rodrigue, Gustave, and Dedue; he then begins to explain a decision he made, but disappears as Seteth approaches Byleth. Seteth concludes that Dimitri wished Byleth could have guided them. It is ambiguous whether his final appearance was a dream, if he was a ghost, or if he was the real Dimitri.
Azure Moon
If Byleth chooses to lead the Blue Lions, Dimitri and his classmates become their pupils. Dimitri accompanies Byleth directly throughout their time teaching at the Officers Academy. As the school year progresses, Dimitri's hidden rage begins to surface, and he comes to hold the belief that the Flame Emperor orchestrated the Tragedy of Duscur. Eventually, when Edelgard is revealed to be the Flame Emperor, the revelation of her actions coupled with his continued belief that she caused the Tragedy of Duscur cause Dimitri to suffer a total psychotic breakdown, and he vows to kill Edelgard with his own two hands.
Five years after the fall of Garreg Mach, Byleth returns the day before the millennium festival and reunites with Dimitri, Gilbert and the rest of the former Blue Lions. Both the Kingdom and the Church begin a full-scale war against Adrestia, using Garreg Mach Monastery as a base of operations. After killing an Adrestian general named Randolph tasked with retaking the monastery, Dimitri receives allies and the Heroes' Relic Areadbhar from Duke Rodrigue Fraldarius and launches a counterinvasion of the Empire, unconcerned about the people of Faerghus suffering under Imperial tyranny. At Gronder Field, he engages both the Empire and the Leicester Alliance in a three-way battle and emerges victorious, but Randolph's younger sister Fleche attempts to assassinate him in revenge for Randolph's death. Rodrigue sacrifices himself to save Dimitri, causing him to realize what a horrible ruler and person he has been and resolve to atone for his sins.
Dimitri returns to the Kingdom capital of Fhirdiad and kills Cornelia, who implicates his stepmother Patricia in the Tragedy of Duscur before perishing. With the Kingdom back under his control, Dimitri reinforces battered Leicester forces and kills Lord Arundel. In the aftermath, Alliance leader Claude unexpectedly gifts him his Relic bow Failnaught, disbands the Alliance, cedes the right to govern its subjects to Dimitri, reveals that Rhea is being held prisoner in the Imperial capital of Enbarr, and departs from Fódlan. With the combined forces of Faerghus and the former Alliance at his back, Dimitri launches a proper invasion of the Empire. As his forces approach Enbarr, Dimitri attempts to parley with Edelgard and learn her motivations for starting a world war, but the two conclude that their ideas of justice cannot be resolved diplomatically and they must fight for the future of Fódlan. Dimitri besieges Enbarr and defeats Edelgard in a climactic final battle. Afterwards, he makes one final attempt to reconcile with her, but she throws his old dagger into his shoulder, forcing him to execute her. In the aftermath, Rhea is rescued and retires from her role as Archbishop, and Byleth succeeds her. Dimitri is crowned the ruler of a united Fódlan under Faerghus' banner.
Verdant Wind
If Byleth chooses to lead the Golden Deer, Dimitri eventually regroups with the former Blue Lions and raises an army under his banner. He makes his way to Gronder Field and attacks both Imperial and Alliance forces, but is defeated by Claude. Dimitri attempts to pursue the retreating Edelgard, but is cornered and unceremoniously executed by Imperial soldiers.
Crimson Flower
If Byleth chooses to lead the Black Eagles and remains loyal to Edelgard after she is revealed to be the Flame Emperor, Dimitri returns to Faerghus after the fall of Garreg Mach and formally takes the throne as king. He provides Rhea and the remaining Knights of Seiros asylum as they do battle with Edelgard and the Empire over the next five years. Eventually, Byleth returns and decisively tips the scale of the war in favor of the Empire. Dimitri personally intercepts Edelgard and her elite soldiers at the Tailtean Plains, but he is defeated in battle. If Dedue transformed into a beast during the battle, Dimitri is personally executed by Edelgard, blaming her for the Tragedy of Duscur to his last breath. However, if Dedue was defeated before transforming, Dimitri dies a peaceful death in Dedue's arms.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Role
Dimitri is one of the game's lord characters, and his defeat under the player's control is grounds for an immediate game over. He is the primary protagonist of the Azure Moon route and a temporary playable character and recurring boss on all other routes.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Dimitri is the leader of the Blue Lions and is one of the best units in the game. Dimitri starts with good bases and the strongest early game combat art, Tempest Lance, already giving him a strong lead. Dimitri will maintain this lead and likely soar ahead of most other units due to his amazing growths and his personal skill boosting his Exp growth by 20%. In addition to having the highest strength growth in the game, he also has outstanding growths in HP, speed, defense, and charm, all of which are useful and desirable stats. Due to these combined factors, you will likely find that Dimitri takes out most enemies in one round and easily survives the following enemy phase. Even in Maddening, Dimitri proves more resilient than most other units. Even when he fails to one-round the enemy, he will deal massive damage to enemies enabling others to finish the job. Upon achieving an A-rank in authority, Dimitri will gain access to both Battalion Vantage and Battalion Wrath, a truly broken combo that nearly allows him to solo the game; while the traditional Wrath and Vantage abilities are tied to specific classes, require the user to be put in danger, and must be set up each map, Dimitri gains access to their battalion forms through his Authority skill level—a skill in which he has a strength and a fairly high base. Dimitri can use a low-endurance battalion to avoid threatening himself, and since battalion endurance carries over between maps, it doesn't need to be set up each map. When combined with Retribution, Dimitri can one-shot crit an entire map of enemies while at full health with no set up required. While this does grant a significant boon to Dimitri's enemy phase, it does require reaching an A-rank in Authority, which could conflict with reaching higher levels in his non-lance skills for master classes, and it cannot be used easily in Chapter 13, as he comes with a fully healed 120-endurance battalion. When aiming to use this build, it is ideal to bring him to an A-rank in Authority by the beginning of Chapter 8, as that is when the Kingdom Archers are unlocked at the Battalion Guild and you can start giving him Retribution. If you have completed the Cindered Shadows expansion, the Chalice of Beginnings makes a beautiful fit for Dimitri, removing his reliance on Retribution to wipe out entire armies by himself. In addition to his generally outstanding combat, Dimitri possesses the elusive and useful Windsweep, unlocked with an A-rank in Swords, allowing him to safely weaken enemies for others or break barriers on monsters towards the endgame. By realizing his Budding Talent in Riding, Dimitri gains the Seal Movement ability and a strength in Riding. Even though the utility of Seal Movement pales in comparison to using a gambit to rattle an opponent, which freezes them in place, or killing the enemy unit which prevents them from ever moving again, it is still worth it to realize his budding talent to grant him a strength in Riding.
Dimitri possesses a minor crest of Blaiddyd, which grants him a 10% chance to double damage output when using a combat art at the cost of doubling consumed weapon uses. The Crest of Blaiddyd is strong but will usually prove to be massive overkill in lower difficulties against all enemies, boss monsters excluded. Moreover, its proc rate is quite low making it unreliable for killing enemies in Maddening; not to mention that its cost of doubled weapon uses can leave Dimitri in a bad situation if the combat art ends up breaking the used weapon or lowers its uses to the point that it breaks midway through the enemy phase. Since Dimitri's crest has a high chance to disastrously backfire, using combat arts with Dimitri is somewhat of a calculated risk. Fortunately, the crest of Blaiddyd also grants Dimitri an incredibly powerful combat art in Areadbhar's exclusive art, Atrocity. In addition to granting fifteen might and twenty hit, Atrocity also deals x2 bonus damage to all enemy units. On activation, the art has a might of 68 before even factoring Dimitri's strength or battalion bonuses, meaning that Atrocity can essentially kill any enemy unit in one hit save for boss monsters with massive health bars and is yet another incredibly powerful tool in Dimitri's kit.
Since Dimitri excels so much on the frontlines, Dimitri is best off selecting a physically-oriented class. Dimitri's best promotion pathways are either Soldier to Cavalier for mount movement and Canto or Myrmidon to Lord to grind up his Authority as fast as possible to unlock Battalion Wrath and Battalion Vantage. Upon reaching the Advanced tier, Dimitri's usual best class is Paladin for high movement and Lancefaire access; Swordmaster is a viable backup option if he is facing heavy amounts of axe users who would reduce his hit rate to unacceptable levels. Dimitri's incredible stats also pair well with the Wyvern Lord's excellent mobility and class modifiers; however, this requires unusually high investment as, due to story-related reasons, Dimitri will be unavailable for tutoring and will only develop his weapon proficiencies via combat from Chapter 13 to Chapter 17. This means he misses out on four out of the eight months of time available for tutoring in Part II; thus, Dimitri's class options are somewhat more restricted than other characters unless you resort to grinding via auxiliary battles. For this reason, master classes are somewhat difficult for Dimitri to obtain, the Wyvern Lord especially considering its demands of an A rank in Axes and Flying, the former of which he has a weakness in and the latter of which cannot grow in combat without first obtaining a Wyvern Rider certification. As for other master classes, they generally provide little benefit over Paladin and Swordmaster, hence why they are not recommended. If you do choose a promotion different from Paladin, it is vital to start on that path early and stick with it. For instance, if you want to make Dimitri a Bow Knight start training his bow proficiency in Part I. As is the case for all physically-oriented units, a side promotion Archer to obtain Hit +20 is ideal for essentially any promotion pathway. Unlike nearly all physical units, the Brigand's famous Death Blow skill is more of a low-priority luxury for Dimitri since most of his best work is done on enemy phase.

Personality and character
On the surface, Dimitri is a chivalrous young man who is loyal to his friends and kind to his subjects. Underneath, though, he holds great bitterness over the Tragedy of Duscur four years prior his attendance to the Officers Academy, which led to the deaths of his parents and many of his soldiers. The trauma over that incident has left Dimitri with a burning desire for vengeance and a deeply hidden capacity for extreme hatred, violence, and self-loathing that he actively tries to keep suppressed. The revelation of his beloved and trusted stepsister Edelgard's actions as the Flame Emperor and her subsequent betrayal and declaration of war against the Church of Seiros start to tear away at his kind heart, and the presumed deaths of Byleth and Dedue and the five years he spends as a vagrant on all routes other than Crimson Flower reduce him to an antisocial, vengeful madman bent on killing Edelgard as painfully as possible without any regard for his own safety or responsibilities as king. On the Azure Moon route, the return of Byleth and Dedue and the death of Rodrigue snap him out of his hatred and cause him to decide to let go of his past and atone for his sins, returning him to the chivalrous man he was in his school days. He makes several attempts to reconcile with Edelgard and comes to hold the belief that his duty as a king is to protect the weak from being trampled on by the strong, a duty he holds to after uniting the continent under his reign. On the Silver Snow route, while the exact nature of his final appearance is unclear, he comes off as lamentful over the deaths of his friends and retainers under his command. On the Verdant Wind route, his psychosis is at its worst; he attacks Alliance forces merely for being targets of opportunity, and his obsession with killing Edelgard results in his own death when he recklessly pursues her. On the Crimson Flower route, while he still hates Edelgard, her less unscrupulous actions during the war allow him to retain his sanity. He remains loyal to the Church, and is willing to put his life on the line for Archbishop Rhea.
Dimitri's attitude towards the current social system of Fódlan is moderate. He acknowledges the flaws of the overglorification of Crests and how they have ruined the lives of people like Miklan, but also notes that these customs have stood the test of time for a reason and that Crests play a critical role in defending the continent from foreign threats. In Warriors: Three Hopes, he expresses personal admiration for the reforms implemented in the Empire under Edelgard's reign but believes Faerghus is ill-suited for such rapid change and prioritizes stabilization and gradual growth.
Supports

Dimitri/Supports and Dimitri/Supports (Warriors: Three Hopes)
In Three Houses, Dimitri cannot unlock supports from Chapters 13 through 17 due to being consumed by his hatred of Edelgard, though he can still gain support points.
Endings
Dimitri, Savior King (single ending)
After his coronation, Dimitri spent his life reforming and ruling justly over Fódlan. He focused particularly on improving living situations for orphans and improving foreign relations. He was known for listening intently to the voices of all, and for instituting a new form of government in which the people were free to be active participants. He lived for his people and alongside them, and was thusly dubbed the Savior King.
Byleth, Guardian of Order & Dimitri, Savior King
Paired with the end of the war, the joyous marriage of Byleth, the newly-appointed archbishop, and Dimitri, the newly-crowned king of Faerghus, gave the people of Fódlan much to celebrate. The two were devoted to improving life for the people and to seeking greater wisdom in order to reform the government and the church from the inside out. As leaders of church and state respectively, at times they engaged in heated debate. Even still, when enjoying a long horse ride or a quiet evening, they were not as the world saw them, but rather two adoring spouses, desperately in love. They remained as such for the rest of their days.
Dimitri, Savior King & Dedue, Taciturn Devotee
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and his loyal vassal, Dedue, remained ever at his side. Among Dimitri's achievements was the reconciliation with Duscur: an extraordinary effort that required extensive negotiations to get past a history of betrayal and oppression. It was a trying task, but Dimitri never once considered giving up. While they behaved as lord and vassal in public, it is said that Dimitri and Dedue were more like family in private. When Dimitri finally fell to illness, Dedue tended to his liege's deathbed, and then took up a post at his grave for the rest of his days. When the time came, they were buried beside each other.
Dimitri, Savior King & Felix, The Shield's Successor
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. At his side every step of the way was his right-hand adviser, Duke Felix Fraldarius. Their lifelong bond grew so strong over time that, when Dimitri finally passed, it is said that Felix's grief was more potent even than the queen's. The stories of their lives were passed down to future generations as chivalric tales that rivaled those of Loog, the King of Lions, and his sworn friend, Kyphon.
Dimitri, Savior King & Mercedes, Benevolent Soul
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and took his friend, Mercedes, as his queen. Most were shocked by his choice, as she did not come from a distinguished noble line. Still, when the people saw her devotion to healing the damage caused by the war, they decided she was the ideal match for the one they called the Savior King. It is said that the couple led busy but happy lives, and that they never failed to express their appreciation for one another, no matter the hardship.
Dimitri, Savior King & Annette, Bloomed Overachiever
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. At his side every step of the way was his queen, Annette, whose wisdom provided not only reliable counsel, but a whole assortment of revolutionary policies. The royal couple's sincere approach to governance earned them widespread acclaim, securing their line as a dynasty that lasted for generations to come. Their married life was said to be full of love and cheer.
Dimitri, Savior King & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. At his side every step of the way was Ingrid, who left House Galatea to serve House Blaiddyd as a knight. As they worked together to restore the Kingdom, the pair fell in love and were eventually married. But while Ingrid was happy to play the role of queen, and to support her husband in public and in private, she insisted on taking up a weapon and serving on the front lines in battle.
Dimitri, Savior King & Marianne, Survivor of the Curse
Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. Several years after his coronation, he took Marianne, whom he loved dearly, as his queen. Many of Dimitri's greatest achievements can be traced to wisdom provided by Marianne, who had received tutelage from her adoptive father, Margrave Edmund. Many years later, when Dimitri fell to illness, he clutched his queen's hand until the very end. The queen's journal, uncovered after her passing, contained recounts of their time together. The last words, penned with trembling hand, are: "I would not trade our time together or the happiness we knew for anything."
Dimitri, Savior King & Flayn, Slumbering Princess
Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. Some time after his coronation, he took Flayn, who now enjoyed a position of prominence in the church, as his queen. Many speculated at first that the marriage was politically motivated, but it is said that over time the love they had for one another became clear to see. Their lives were full of warmth and tranquility. Many years later, when Dimitri passed, his journals revealed that he had kept a meticulous record of all the meals he and his wife had enjoyed together.
Dimitri, Savior King & Gilbert, Veteran Patriot
Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. At his side was the knight, Gustave, who had discarded the name of Gilbert and reaffirmed his oath of fealty to the royal family. After many more years of service, in which the trust between them grew and never wavered, Gustave finally wished to retire. Though he bristled slightly at Dimitri's request to look after and tutor the young prince, it is said that Gustave took on that duty with due patience and solemnity for the remainder of his life.
Dimitri, Savior King & Catherine, Free Knight
Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and spent his life ruling justly over Fódlan. Two years after his coronation, he announced his marriage to Catherine. The people speculated wildly about how this union came to be. Some said that Dimitri spent two full years wooing her, while others suggested that the matter was resolved by a duel. In any case, the couple worked tirelessly to reform the Kingdom, but despite their busy days, it is said that they always found time for sparring, and that the clash of steel could be heard throughout the castle at all hours.
Dimitri, Savior King & Hapi, Freed Spirit
After his coronation, Dimitri assumed the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. He focused first and foremost on the restoration of the Kingdom but at the same time worked to expose the schemes of Cornelia and of those who conspired to bring about the Tragedy of Duscur. Always by his side was Hapi, who relentlessly pursued those who slither in the dark and, with Dimitri's help, discovered a magic spell to rid herself of her condition. Once all had settled down, the pair was known to have tea together often in the capital. It is said that Dimitri's tendency to discuss politics during tea time frequently moved Hapi to smirk, shake her head, and sigh.

Trivia
- As the boss in Crimson Flower Chapter 17, Dimitri's map sprite depicts him with an eyepatch despite the fact that he does not lose the use of his right eye on the Crimson Flower route.
- Despite this, there are sprites in the game's code that depict him without an eyepatch, though these are left unused for unknown reasons.
- As a Lord in Part I, the eyes on Dimitri's sprite will change color to match those of his current affiliation—blue as a player unit, red as an enemy, yellow as a third army enemy. This quirk is not present for Edelgard or Claude, or even for Dimitri's Part II sprites.
- Dimitri has ageusia; he lost his ability to taste food after the Tragedy of Duscur.[3]
- Oddly, when playing a New Game + save file, if Dimitri is set to wear his War (Part II) outfit during chapters before the timeskip, his eyepatch will be omitted, making his physical appearance similar to how he appeared on the Crimson Flower route. Similarly, wearing his Academy (Part I) outfit during chapters after the timeskip will also remove his eyepatch.
- On the Blue Lions route, despite Dimitri's drastic change in behavior and demeanor upon discovering the Flame Emperor's true identity in chapter 11, he can still be interacted with normally while exploring the monastery during chapter 12, with none of his voice lines during activities, instructions, or battles being altered to reflect his mental state.
- However, in Part II, Dimitri's state of mind will negatively affect the player's interaction with him. Due to his single-minded fixation on killing Edelgard, he cannot be invited to any monastery activities, build support with any other units, be given gifts or lost items, nor can he be instructed in improving skill levels outside of combat. This will remain in effect until chapter 18, in which a story event will cause Dimitri to calm down and can be interacted with normally for the rest of the playthrough.
- From chapters 13 to 17, Dimitri's character portrait and model will possess eyebags, reflecting the mental stress he underwent during the five year timeskip; his voice lines in battle are also more aggressive to reflect this as well. From chapter 18 onward, the eyebags disappear, and the aggressiveness of his voice lines in battle tones down significantly, representing his mental well-being improving.
- Dimitri is the only playable character whose budding talent starts at a D rank, as opposed to everyone else who starts at an E rank.

Alexandre is the French, Portuguese, Catalan, and Galician form of Alexander, a Greek name meaning "defender of the people".
