Reptor

| “ | The throne of Grannvale shall be mine, one way or another. I'll leave no pest who dares interfere with me alive... | ” | — Reptor |
|---|
Reptor (Japanese: レプトール Reptor) was the Duke of Grannvale's House Friege and the Chancellor of Grannvale as a whole. Fearing the rise of Prince Kurth and his advisors as a prominent figure in the Grannvale political arena, he conspired with Duke Lombard of Dozel to seize power over the country for themselves,[1] framing Byron and Sigurd of Chalphy for crimes of treason against Kurth and Grannvale as a whole.

Biography
Reptor remained behind in Grannvale during the war with Isaach in Grann 757, continuing to serve as Chancellor while working with Lombard and Arvis on the first seeds of their plan, sowing rumors of plots by Byron and Sigurd to usurp the throne while they were absent at war in Isaach and Agustria respectively.[2] Late in the war, he arranged for Isaach's King Mananan to be assassinated, in order to prolong the war by preventing Mananan from sharing the reality of the Dahna assault with Kurth and to anger the Isaach people into further conflict.[3] The power bloc headed by Reptor seized control of the Grannvale royal court during this time,[4] allowing Reptor to successfully frame Sigurd and Byron for Kurth's assassination at the hands of Lombard.[5] Shortly afterward, he and Lombard led an army to Agustria to capture Sigurd, following the latter's conquest of the country, but Sigurd eluded their capture by escaping to Silesse.[6]
Later in Grann 760, when the armies of Dozel and Velthomer set out to arrest Sigurd in Silesse, Reptor remained behind in Grannvale to maintain order, leading a Friege army to support Aida at Velthomer Castle, the last line of defense against Sigurd's army. Upon receiving word of Lombard's defeat at Lubeck, Reptor objected to Arvis apparently lying to him by claiming that their thinly-spread armies would be enough to take Sigurd, but reluctantly accepted his reassurances and returned to his post outside Velthomer with General Aida.[7] While suspicious of Arvis's intent, Reptor set it aside and proceeded as planned,[8] until Aida gave the order for the Velthomer army to turn on the Friege forces.[9] Overwhelmed by both Sigurd's and Aida's armies, Reptor was killed in battle.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Reptor is the boss of Friege in Chapter 5. When he is defeated, all Friege units are routed; as Velthomer will turn neutral at the start of their next turn, if they have not done so already, this prevents the player from suffering any further casualties or a Game Over until Sigurd seizes Velthomer or talks to Aida to clear the map, unless the player deliberately attacks the Velthomer army on the same turn Reptor is defeated.

Personality
Reptor highly valued political power, seeing it as the ultimate means of progressing in life and an absence thereof as a sign of weakness which ensures a certain doom for those without.[10] His actions in seeking to claim Grannvale for himself were entirely motivated by feeling his own power and prestige among Grannvale's nobility was threatened by the rise of Kurth and Byron, and that eliminating them would secure his ongoing place in the world.[1] His greed for power made him easy for Arvis and Manfroy to manipulate,[11] and yet while he was paranoid of being betrayed by Arvis, he nonetheless resigned himself to taking Arvis on face value with no other recourse,[8] only for his suspicions to be confirmed in the end.[12]

| “ | Reptor: Sigurd! So you've come to spread your evil ways in our holy fatherland, traitor scum! Sigurd: You're the only traitor here, Reptor! For your fiendish crimes against both my father and the late Prince Kurth, I've come to exact justice upon you! Reptor: Pah! Don't make me laugh, you naïve twit! Consider this a lesson in politics and power! Your father had no power, and hence he is dead! Even a common knight such as yourself can surely appreciate this fundamental truth! Sigurd: A knight appreciates honor and justice. I see neither of those in your actions! For too long you've soiled Grannvale's honor. I've come to set the fatherland to rights! Reptor: Such a pity your hard work is all for naught! Byron died a sad, pitiful traitor, and you will meet his very same fate at my hands! In the face of the supreme power of thunder, Mjölnir, you are but a candle to be snuffed! Sigurd, your dying thought will lament your complete and utter lack of power! Ahahaha... |

Trivia
- According to Fire Emblem: Treasure, Reptor had an unidentified fourth child, who was born between Bloom and Tailtiu as his second child. This child presumably died before the events of Genealogy of the Holy War, as on the family tree, their entry (defined as "unknown") is scratched out.[13]
