“	Count this knight honored to die in the service of his prince. Live, sire, and grow strong...	”	— Frey

Frey (Japanese: フレイ Frey) is a cavalier in the Fire Emblem series, appearing in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Role

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Frey is a newly introduced character. He and Abel survive Gra's initial attack, and Princess Elice orders them to protect Marth. He and Abel join him, and escape Altea with the aid of fellow knights Cain and Jagen. However, the group is cornered by Jiol and the Grust Sable Knights. As canonically defined by New Mystery of the Emblem, Frey sacrifices himself to save the group by disguising himself as Marth and luring them away. Frey is apparently killed, but he survives the battle. He lives out the rest of the War of Shadows as an amnesiac, but eventually regains his memories and returns to Altea after the war. If the player chooses to use someone else as a decoy, he joins Marth in his exile to Talys and accompanies him through the War of Shadows.

Analysis

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

Frey is a new character exclusive to Normal difficulty. Frey is an extremely reliable and dependable unit with good bases for his level, above-average growth rates all-around, and a very good chance of making it to C lances for Ridersbane access by the end of Chapter 4. As the game progresses, he will only get stronger, turning into one of your main powerhouses throughout the story. Frey should be an automatic pick for any Normal mode runthrough, and the only bad thing to say about him is that he can't be used on Hard.

Trivia

• Due to Frey not being present in the original story of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light nor the Hard Mode of Shadow Dragon (where the Prologue is skipped), he is considered to be the canonical "sacrifice" used in the Prologue of Shadow Dragon. This was confirmed in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem in Frey's conversations with Kris, where Frey states that though he was severely injured by Gra's forces, he lives to tell the tale.
• In Shadow Dragon, Frey's character ending is listed at the end of the Epilogue regardless of whether he was the sacrifice or not, while everyone else's endings are listed in the order that they are recruited.
