Sumeragi (Japanese: スメラギ Sumeragi) was the former King of Hoshido in Fire Emblem Fates.

He met his end after being tricked by Garon. He met up with the Nohrian king and some of his army thinking he was there to form a peace treaty, but instead, he was brutally killed. His step-child, Corrin, was then taken and raised in a secluded fortress in Nohr.

Sumeragi was once the king of Hoshido; however, he is killed by Garon prior to the game's events, and his step-child, Corrin, is taken. Sumeragi was revived by Anankos and used as a pawn.

During the events of chapter 5 Sumeragi takes Corrin's sword Ganglari and used it to shatter Hoshido's protective barrier, killing Mikoto and several bystanders in the process. Sumeragi is the boss of chapter 5, though his identity is not revealed at this time due to wearing obscuring clothing.

Birthright

In the Birthright route, Sumeragi appears again very briefly in Chapter 11, still cloaked.

On Corrin's ship, he calls Vallite soldiers to attack during a storm, their goal to sink Corrin's ship. At the end of the chapter, everyone lets their guard down, thinking the threat is gone. Sumeragi appears once more trying to kill Takumi while he's vulnerable. Zola jumps and takes the blow, not dying from the attack, and tells Takumi to attack while Sumeragi is distracted. Blocking Takumi's counterattack, Sumeragi retreats from the boat, although the army believe him to be dead. Sumeragi is never seen again throughout the playthrough, his identity as Sumeragi is also never revealed in Birthright.

Conquest

Sumeragi makes no appearances in Conquest.

Revelation

In the Revelation route, Sumeragi appears within Valla and fights Corrin's army as the boss of Chapter 25. He is defeated, and in his last moments, is free of Anankos. He tells his children how proud he is of them, and apologizes to Corrin that he could not protect him/her. He tells Corrin of how he and Mikoto met, and then dies for the last time.

Quotes

Battle quotes

“	I was once a Hoshidan king...No longer. Now I am simply a man on the battlefield...striving for a challenge.	”	— Sumeragi, in Revelation Chapter 25.

“	Sumeragi: Ryoma, my eldest son... My pride... I hunger for the glory of a battle between us. I expect nothing less than your best-you will be getting mine! Ryoma: My father... was a respectable man, a just king, and a true samurai. You, fueled only by a lust for battle and glory, are not that man. I will destroy you for pretending to be him!	”	— Sumeragi, when fighting Ryoma in Revelation Chapter 25.

“	Sumeragi: Corrin.... You needn't rely on your sword alone. There is a greater power within you. Unleash it-avenge your mother. Give me a real battle! Corrin: Father!	”	— Sumeragi, when fighting Corrin in Revelation Chapter 25.

“	I am Sumeragi--King of Hoshido no more, yet still a deadly swordsman!	”	— Sumeragi, as one of the bosses of V: Endless Dawn

“	Sumeragi: Hmm. I thought I recognized something about you. Is that my prized sword you carry? Shiro: Huh? You're saying this used to be YOUR sword?! Sumeragi: Indeed. Though it's been so many years that I can hardly remember it now. Yes, you make a fitting heir. I see the lust for power in your eyes that I had. The mortal struggle between you and I shall no doubt become legend! Shiro: But if this sword was yours once... that would have to mean... No way! Sumeragi: Take your best stance, for here I come!	”	— Sumeragi, when fighting Shiro in V: Endless Dawn

“	Sumeragi: Ah... you have inherited the Fujin Yumi. Kiragi: Huh? You've seen my bow before? Sumeragi: Indeed. It is a divine weapon passed through the royal family—my family. I've wanted to test myself against it. I never expected that you would be the one to grant that desire. Kiragi: Wait a sec... you're King Sumeragi! Sumeragi: None other. Mark this moment, wielder of the Fujin Yumi. For you look upon he who will be your demise! Kiragi: Whoa, whoa, whoa! If you're really the old king, why are you fighting me?! Grandpa, we just met! You don't need to rush right into killing me! Help!	”	— Sumeragi, when fighting Kiragi in V: Endless Dawn

Critical quotes

“	This is the end!	”
