“	Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report!	”	— Gatekeeper's normal greeting to Byleth.

Only known by their occupation, two unnamed gatekeepers (Japanese: 門番 gatekeeper) are soldiers, one of the Church of Seiros and one of the Adrestian Empire, that diligently guard the entrance of Garreg Mach Monastery in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and of the Base Camp in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. In the Crimson Flower route, he is instead replaced by his younger twin brother.

Biography

The gatekeeper was born in Adrestia. At some point before Imperial year 1180, he left the Empire and joined the Church of Seiros, becoming the guard of Garreg Mach Monastery's entrance. After Edelgard von Hresvelg, the newly crowned emperor of the Adrestian Empire, declares war on the church in 1181, the Gatekeeper remains in his position and protects the main gate from the invading imperial forces.

In 1185 in the Silver Snow, Azure Moon and Verdant Wind routes, the gatekeeper returns to the monastery and resumes his role. In the Crimson Flower route, he is forced to retreat along with the church to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. His younger twin brother instead fills his role as the guard of Garreg Mach Monastary, unaware he is doing the same job as his brother.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Role

The gatekeeper is an NPC ally found while exploring Garreg Mach Monastery. Talking to him during Chapter 9 can also allow Byleth to choose the student they can meet during the Goddess Tower event.

Fire Emblem Heroes
