...Lady Olwen, I can tell you only one thing for certain: your place isn't with the Empire and its army. Not anymore. But perhaps there could be a place for us in Prince Leif's army.
— Fred, to Olwen

Fred (Japanese: フレッド Fred) is a knight of House Stase and a playable Paladin in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is subordinate to and protector of Olwen.

Biography

Fred is a knight of House Stase of Friege,[1] and the protector of Olwen. They were stationed at Fort Dandrum and traveled to Noel Canyon daily on the orders of General Kempf.[2] When Leif's liberation army arrived at Noel Canyon, Fred and Olwen returned to Fort Dandrum to gather reinforcements. When they arrived, Kempf instigated Olwen to insult him and imprisoned her to satisfy his grudge with her brother Reinhardt. As Leif's army approached Fort Dandrum, Kempf then ordered Fred to fight Leif's army, and threatened to execute Olwen if he fled.[3] However, during the battle, Leif may notice Fred's hesitance to fight and spare his life.[4]

If Fred was spared at Fort Dandrum, he entered its prison in secret to assist Olwen in escaping while Leif's army fought the prison guard. Olwen decided to join Leif's forces to rescue children captured in the child hunts, and Fred accompanied her.[5]

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Role

Fred is a playable character. In Chapter 10, Fred, along with Olwen, appear as enemy units on turn 4, or when a unit reaches column 19; Fred cannot be killed this chapter. On turn 6, he begins moving to escape. In Chapter 11, Fred initially appears in the central courtyard as an enemy unit. If Leif waits in the central courtyard, Fred will turn into an ally unit, and will move to escape south; his escape will unlock Chapter 11x. In Chapter 11x, Fred appears on turn 2 as a player unit. Due to the chapter being indoors, he joins dismounted. He can talk to Olwen to recruit her.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Fred joins roughly halfway through the game in Chapter 11x. His performance on outdoor maps is solid thanks to his mount, 9 move, great weapon ranks, and decent stats for the most part. He does suffer from some limitations in combat; his luck is fairly low, his FCM is 1, and he lacks any skills. While this slightly holds back his performance, he is still a solid unit on outdoor maps.

On indoor maps, Fred's performance is more lackluster: he is demoted to only 6 move and takes slight stat penalties, as well as losing his C rank in lances. Thankfully, he retains his A rank in swords, which allows him to use any non-personal sword in the game. Because of this he still performs well enough indoors, although he fails to fill much of a niche.

Fred does have a while to take advantage of his outdoor performance, as chapters 12 and 13 through 17 are all outdoors, however by the late game Fred becomes more mediocre, as many chapters are indoors, and due to his slow experience gain his stats become less impressive. Overall, Fred is a solid unit who struggles to keep up in the late game.

Endings

Fred, Knight of House Stase
After the war, Fred returned home to the Dukedom of Friege. There, he spent all of his strength helping the new, young lord rebuild the war-torn land. He went on to marry a young noblewoman with close ties to House Friege's inner circle, though the difference in their age made him the butt of many jokes.
