The Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs must hold on to every bit of leverage that he can. As the Empire's relations with the church have chilled, it makes for a strong card to play.
— Duke Gerth

Duke Gerth is a non-playable character appearing in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and as a boss in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. He is the head of House Gerth in Adrestia and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Biography

Duke Gerth is the head of House Gerth in the Adrestian Empire. In Imperial Year 1171, he participated during the Insurrection of the Seven by allying himself with Duke Aegir and the other noble houses involved, with the implied reason of wishing to conserve the Empire's stability. In 1175, during the Dagda and Brigid War, his house fought the combined forces of both nations along with House Nuvelle, and while House Gerth did manage to survive the struggle, House Nuvelle did not. During the aftermath of the war, Duke Gerth took responsibility of dealing with Brigid's new vassalage state, brought Petra to the Empire and enrolled her in Garreg Mach Monastery in 1180. Around this period, Dagda also gifted him the Fetters of Dromi as a sign of goodwill and reconciliation with the Empire for their past deeds. By the request of Edelgard, Duke Gerth is tasked with searching out lost relics as a bargaining piece for the Empire to the Church of Seiros.[1]

Three Houses

In 1180, the Church of Seiros tasks Constance with retrieving the Fetters of Dromi from Duke Gerth after acquiring knowledge of the relic's current owner. Yuri and Byleth accompany Constance to Adrestia to ensure everything goes smoothly, only to find out Duke Gerth is being attacked by a group of thieves led by Myson, a member of "Those who slither in the dark", who wishes to claim the relic for himself. Byleth and their group then rescue Duke Gerth and manage to drive Myson off. Afterward, Duke Gerth rewards Constance's efforts with the relic as well as a way to repay a debt he owes to her parents for having ensured his house's survival during the Dagda and Brigid War, knowing full well he's neglecting his duties with his action as the Empire intended to use the Fetters of Dromi as leverage against the Church.

When Edelgard von Hresvelg declares war on the Church of Seiros in 1181, Duke Gerth takes her side during the war. On non-Crimson Flower routes, this causes a non-recruited Petra a lot of turmoil as she's grateful for what the Duke has done for her.

Three Hopes

In the Azure Gleam route, Duke Gerth is the leading lord to defend against the Kingdom army's march to Enbarr alongside other western Imperial lords, facing off in Lochin territory. During battle, he is slain.
In the Scarlet Blaze route, Duke Gerth serves a leading general in the Imperial army, leading forces to pressure Ariarhod and later tasked with defending the great bridge Myrddin.

Quotes

Rodrigue: Isn't It time for you to come out already, Duke Gerth? A General ought to seek out vengeance for his subordinates.
Duke Gerth: Be careful what you wish for. I've quite a lot of deaths to avenge by now!

How ironic. My territory has always strived for peace, yet it's the first to be claimed by the flames of war.

I am not the most skilled fighter. However, fight I must!
— During combat in The Blitz of the Western Empire.
