Fire Emblem: Three Houses main character biographies

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, of the Blue Lions

Dimitri is the crown prince of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. He was born in Imperial Year 1162 as the eldest son of King Lambert; his mother, the queen consort, perished in a plague that was later cured by Cornelia. He befriended Edelgard during her exile and gave her a dagger as a token of affection, before she returned to the Adrestian Empire in Imperial Year 1174. He was the only surviving royal of the Tragedy of Duscur in Imperial Year 1176. Dimitri's uncle and Lambert's elder brother, Grand Duke Rufus of Itha, ruled as regent in Dimitri's stead. During the Kingdom's retaliatory subjugation of Duscur, he saved and befriended Dedue who became his vassal. He fought his maiden battle two years later, where he distinguished himself as a commander in quelling a rebellion in western Faerghus.
In Imperial Year 1180, he enrolls as a student of the Officers Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery and serves as the house leader of the Blue Lions. Dimitri has been friends with Sylvain, Ingrid, and Felix since childhood.
