“ | ...Lord Leif, Lifis is not an evil man. He's committed many foul acts as a pirate, yes, but he seemed genuinely repentant when we spoke earlier. Give him a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the gods. | ” | — Safy to Leif about Lifis |
---|
Lifis (Japanese: リフィス Lifis) is a playable Thief in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is the leader of the Lifis Pirates.
Biography
Lifis grew up in a village near Dacia Forest.[1] Due to his reputation as a crybaby, he became a frequent target of bullying by other children, including Perne, who would frequently instigate harassment towards him.[2]
Years later, Lifis had stationed himself on the Corsair Isles as leader of the Lifis Pirates. The group terrorized the nearby village of Iz, but temporarily laid low around the year 776.[3] During this time, he also met August, who served as his tactician and taught him methods of torture. Unbeknownst to August, Lifis would go on to use these methods to capture and torture a local villager for useful information; though it resulted in their death, they did inform Lifis of the fact that Prince Leif of Leonster was being hidden in Fiana. Seeing an opportunity, Lifis leaked this information to the Empire, setting in motion the events of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.[4]
In the following days, Lifis would send his men to raid the village of Iz again. Around this time, they also captured a cleric, Safy, who was taken to him.[5] Intending to make Safy fall for him, he pretended to accept her plea to fight for Tarrah against the Empire, despite him having no intent to do so.[6]
After Leif and his forces traveled to the Corsair Isles to finish off the pirate threat, Lifis ended up captured by them. In a move of desperation, he pleaded with Leif not to hand him over to the villagers of Iz. Safy, believing the pirate worthy of a chance at redemption, convinced Leif to let him join Leif's forces instead.
After Raydrik ambushed Leif at Kelbeth's Gate, Lifis was captured alongside him and brought to the dungeons of Munster palace. Bemoaning his bad luck, he tried to manipulate his cellmates into doing his bidding by convincing them that his men would break them free,[7] only to be surprised when the Magi did free them from imprisonment.[8] Lifis joins Leif during his escape from Munster, and stays a member of his army from that point onward.
During Leif's attack on the base of the Dandelion Bandits, Lifis realized that Perne would be among the bandits and begged Leif to let him stay out of the battle, though his request was denied.[9] During the battle, Perne recognized him and brought up their shared history, much to Lifis's dismay.[10] Having heard that Lifis joined the Liberation Army, Perne decided to join up with them to keep an eye on Lifis, much to his further dismay.[11] When Leif praised Perne's good character after the battle, Lifis muttered his objections, but was forced to accept his new reality.[12]
After the war, he became a government official near Kelbeth's Gate, using his authority to help rid the area of pirates.
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
Role
Lifis is a playable character. In Chapter 2x, Lifis appear as an enemy unit; he stands on a gate, the chapter's seize point. If he is captured and not released by the end of the chapter, Lifis will join the party. At the start of Chapter 4, his inventory will be removed and placed randomly in the chapter's chests. In the same chapter, if Jubel was rescued in Chapter 3, Lifis can talk to an enemy Dalsin, recruiting him. In Chapter 12x, Lifis can talk to an enemy Perne, recruiting him.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Lifis joins the player upon the conclusion of Chapter 2x, and is the only unit besides Leif who stays in Chapter 4. As a Thief, Lifis possesses the ability to steal from foes if his speed is higher than the enemy's and if the item's weight is lower than his constitution. Lifis's base speed of 10 and constitution of 6 allows him to steal lightweight weapons, like the Rapiers from the Cavaliers in Chapter 7 or the Fire and Thunder tomes from Mages in Chapters 4–6—enemies who pose significant threats, the latter of which Lifis can completely disarm without taking damage. He can also steal Heal staves from Priests, preventing them from assisting the other enemies. Lifis also has two action stars, giving him a 10% chance to act again at the end of his turn. This isn't reliable, but it can allow him to do more of his thieving duties.
Leaving Lifis unarmed tempts enemies to capture him when he is within range. Capturing Lifis uses the enemy's turn and reduces their stats, making them easier to defeat; however, an enemy will take all his items immediately upon capturing him, so this is best done with an empty inventory, and his constitution is sometimes too high for enemies (such as Soldiers) to capture him.
Lifis's poor base combat, low bulk, and low luck—which makes him highly susceptible to critical hits—makes leveling him up difficult. However, Lifis receives an additional point of constitution upon promotion and can potentially receive more through level-ups (about once every ten levels normally, or once every five with the Nál Scroll found in Chapter 8x), increasing the variety of weapons he can steal.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Lifis was first added to the game in a special pirate variation as part of the Perilous Seas update, and was made available to players in the forty-fourth edition of the Tempest Trials+, "Ice & Flame 2", which initially ran from August 6, 2021 through August 16, 2021. The aforementioned pirate variation of Lifis is the only one currently available in Heroes, and is based on his Thracia 776 incarnation.

Endings
Lifis, Shy Thief
Lifis was one of the many to earn a post as a government official, and served as one for a short time before vanishing. During his time in office, the Kelbeth garrison wiped out the pirates still hiding in the Pirate Isles and other nearby islands. After that resounding victory, Lifis simply disappeared from the pages of history.
