==Personality==
Ferdinand is very proud of his family's status as high class nobility. He's very confident and hates losing. When it comes to Princess Edelgard, her exceptional abilities brew competitiveness in himself. However, when he realizes that Edelgard will always be stronger, he does not let this get to him and continues to train anyway.
While he is proud of being noble, he holds very little respect for his father due to his views being disgraceful. He believes that being noble is an honor and all nobles should always be striving to improve. He always tries to correct any mistakes he makes and will always try to understand the other side of any argument.
He enjoys horseback riding, tea, justice, being noble and heights. He dislikes laziness and nobles who abuse their status or are simply not noble enough.
==Biography==
Ferdinand is a student at the Officer's Academy who is a member of the Black Eagles. He is the eldest son of the Aegir Dukedom, the family that passes down the position of prime minister in the Adrestian Empire, but looks down on his father, Ludwig, for his corruption. He is instantly recruited if Byleth chooses the Black Eagles. He can be recruited into the Blue Lions or Golden Deer during the Academy Phase if Byleth has enough Dexterity and Heavy Armour.
If the Crimson Flower route is picked, Ferdinand remains with Byleth and Edelgard, believing that he is the only person who can guide Edelgard. He soon succeeds his father as the new duke Aegir.
If the Azure Moon or Verdant Wind routes are chosen and he is recruited, he will assist Byleth and Dimitri/Claude due to Edelgard stripping house Aegir of their status. If he is not recruited, he will be killed while defending the Great Bridge of Myrddin.
If the Silver Snow route is chosen, he sides with Byleth and the church, saying that Edelgard is a threat to Fodlan and must be put down, joining the resistance army.
