“	And so the hero Grado and his companions used the five Sacred Stones to seal away the evil of the Demon King, and his wicked soul was locked within the Stone of Grado. The Stone of Grado came to be known as the Fire Emblem.	”	— Lyon talking about Latona.

Emperor Grado (pronounced /⁠ˈɡɹeɪdoʊ⁠/^[key]; Japanese グラド Grado) was one of the five legendary heroes of Magvel and a primary figure in the legend of the Sacred Stones. He was the founder of the Empire of Grado and the wielder of Garm and Gleipnir. Alongside Latona, three other heroes, and Morva, Grado slew the Demon King and bound him within the Sacred Stone of Grado. A book was later written about his exploits called Founding Emperor Grado.

Trivia

• Grado was said to wield both the Axe, Garm, and the Dark magic, Gleipnir. This is not possible using any class present in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
