“	I am the heir of Loptous's kin, and the inheritor of his limitless power. This world belongs rightfully to me.	”	— Julius

Julius (Japanese: ユリウス Yurius) was the prince of the Grannvale Empire, the son of Emperor Arvis and Deirdre, and the twin brother of Julia. He was the product of the extensive schemes of Manfroy of the Loptr Church, to create a living vessel to reincarnate the Dark God Loptous by breeding a child bearing full Loptous Holy Blood from the bloodline's two living minor carriers, Arvis and Deirdre.

Several years prior to the rise of Seliph's liberation army, Julius became subject to Loptous's corruption upon receiving the evil god's unholy tome. Under Loptous's influence, Julius successfully wrested control of the empire from his father and twisted it into a brutal regime, reintroduced the child hunts and gave Loptrian priests positions of power in the Empire. His ultimate goal was for Loptous to eventually take full possession of him and, by extension, of the Empire, and from there to resurrect the ancient Loptrian Empire.

Biography

Early life

Julius and Julia were born some time after the Battle of Belhalla and the formation of the Grannvale Empire; even before his birth, his late great-grandfather Azmur had great expectations for Julius, as Deirdre's son, to save the Heim bloodline following the death of his grandfather, Kurth. In approximately Grann 770, seven years prior to their eventual reunion, Manfroy came to Belhalla and presented Julius with the Loptous tome. As soon as he touched it, he was corrupted by the spirit of Loptous and attempted to kill his Naga-blooded twin; this failed, however, as Deirdre warped Julia away from Grannvale and allowed herself to be killed by Julius instead.

Despite his youth, after taking in Loptous's spirit, Julius began to undermine Arvis's grip on the Grannvale Empire, rendering his father a mostly powerless figurehead as he began to pervert the empire into the style of the old Loptrian Empire, beginning with entrusting Loptrian priests with official positions in the Empire's hierarchy. Arvis attempted to resist Julius seizing hold of the empire, even once attempting to outright banish him from Grannvale, but his efforts met with failure and, it is implied, severe consequences. At some point, he became betrothed to Ishtar, a member of the Friege nobility.

The child of darkness

In Grann 776, Julius, Ishtar and Manfroy were paying Veld a visit in Munster, at the same time as Leif's escape from the Munster Castle prison. There, he and Manfroy were conferring with Veld, the Loptrian bishop in charge of Thracia's north, on the proceedings of the child hunts of the region. The three questioned Ishtar about her family's reluctance to forcibly storm the city of Tarrah to begin the hunt there, and when Ishtar raised her family's concerns about the immorality of the hunts, Julius attempted to assuage her concerns before taking her away from the conference to observe the flower garden of the complex's yard.

Around the time that Leif's army began its march on Leonster's eastern gate, Julius came down with a severe fever and was hospitalized in Ishtar's quarters in Connacht. Refusing to have him attended by Loptrian bishops, Ishtar travelled to Leonster to find Saias, to come and help heal Julius. After the fall of Fort Danzich and Leif's army's subsequent escape from being cornered there, Julius and Ishtar arrived, whereupon he expressed his disappointment with the performance of Friege's forces. Rather than letting Ishtar go to Connacht to assist her father, he instead then took her to Miletos at the behest of Hilda, after warning her to not see Reinhardt again on pain of his death.

Rise of Seliph

During Bloom's last stand at Connacht, Julius warped in to collect Ishtar and take her back to Belhalla, not wanting to unnecessarily lose her in the Munster District; shortly afterward, in the Thracian conflict, he rescued Arion from death to Seliph's army, swaying his loyalty to the Empire.

Later, at Chronos Castle in Miletos, Julius and Ishtar were present overseeing the child hunt in the region. They departed for Miletos Castle at Hilda's request to prepare to take the captive children back to Belhalla, where Arvis soon arrived, seeking to assist Ishtar in releasing the captive children; Julius fiercely rebuked Arvis for daring to interfere with his control. Manfroy then turned up, bringing news of the captive Julia and how she had recovered her memories of his actions. Despite wanting to have Julia killed, Julius nonetheless allowed Manfroy to proceed with putting her to use. Before leaving for the capital, he and Ishtar decided to play a game: who could kill a member of Seliph's liberation army first, departing after one of the two won or were defeated.

At Velthomer Castle, Julius had an audience with the captive Julia, briefly informing her of what caused the change in him and that she, a bearer of the Naga bloodline, must be killed. At Manfroy's request, Julius allowed her to be brainwashed into serving Manfroy before departing for Belhalla. At the capital, he reluctantly allowed Ishtar to depart for the battle against Seliph's impending forces, where she would meet her doom, convened the newly-recreated Deadlords around Belhalla, and had the order to attack sent to Arion's mercenaries. By this time, Loptous had concluded his descent into Julius and was revived and in complete possession of him. In spite of his wishes, Julia had been freed from Manfroy's influence and obtained the Naga tome from Velthomer, whereupon she used it to confront him in battle, negating the crippling effect the Loptous tome had on enemies. Cursing Manfroy's erroneous judgement, Julius engaged her and Seliph's army in direct combat, and was killed; with his dying breath, he (or Loptous) cursed Naga for interfering with his plans once again and swore to Seliph that, so long as men remained greedy, he would one day return.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Julius is the final boss of Genealogy of the Holy War, and is fought in the Endgame at Belhalla. He also appears and is fought in Chapter 10, along with Ishtar; in order to proceed past him, either he or Ishtar must be defeated, or one of the two must kill one playable unit.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Role

In Thracia 776, Julius appears only in cutscenes in two chapters, Chapter 4 and Chapter 21x.

In Chapter 4 Julius reassures Ishtar that the child hunts are for the ultimate good of its victims; the survivors will become nobles in the revived Loptrian Empire order. Ishtar appears to draw little comfort from this.

In Chapter 21 Julius visits one of the Empire's prisons shortly after Leif liberated its prisoners. Julius comments that the fall of the prison and Bloom's failing forces in Connacht reflect poorly on Friege. Ishtar apologizes for the failings of her noble house but Julius reassures her that she is not personally at fault. Julius then says they will depart for Miletos to check on the child hunts in the region, at Hilda's request. Before they depart Julius says that Reinhardt, Ishtar's bodyguard, will not accompany them. He threatens to kill Reinhardt if Reinhardt enters his sight from then on, citing he dislikes the way Reinhardt looks at Ishtar.

Personality and character

Nothing is known of Julius's persona prior to his corruption by Loptous. Julia implied that before then, Julius was at least a decent child and that the two held a standard good sibling relationship. His persona from then onward appears to be based on his own with his sense of self retained, as Loptous's possession of him was apparently not complete until shortly before his death, but strongly influenced by the malevolent whims of Loptous's influence on him. In this state, he was a highly charismatic figure, masking a cold exterior apathetic of the needs of others (except perhaps Ishtar), possessing immense cruelty, favouring abusing those in opposition to or of lesser power than him including his own father, and of having no tolerance for events not proceeding according to his desires. He showed no hesitation in the idea of killing his own sister or mother, reluctant to follow through on Manfroy's plan which required Julia to continue to live and seeing his mother as a nuisance years after her death; here, he may have been spurred on by Loptous's emnity for Naga, whose major holy blood was borne by both Deirdre and Julia. Julius appeared to have a twisted view of the nature of his actions, seemingly legitimately believing that the misery caused by such endeavours as the child hunts is for the good of all involved and for society as a whole; that, or he had no compunction with effortlessly spinning lies on the matter to persuade the reluctant.

On one hand, he showed a far more human side in his dealings with his fiancée, Ishtar, for whom he seemed to have legitimate feelings and for whom he happily discussed the human trivialties of buying expensive clothing and accessories to attend a party held by her mother. On the other hand, he had absolutely no tolerance for the idea of his relationship with her being even potentially jeopardized, and casually threatened to kill Reinhardt because of his suspicions of his potential interference in Ishtar's relationship with him.

It is implied that in his childhood, Julius had a problem with consistent illness, and that since Loptous began influencing him the severity and frequency of his illnesses had been steadily increasing.
