Kirhart

## Kirhart Leodinaire

“*You're asking me to give up my power. The power I killed for, and lost for? Listen here, little princess: the world doesn't just give you whatever you want. You need to earn it, to get blood on your hands. If you want to take my throne, you'll have to strip it from my corpse!*”
—*Kirhart during the final chapter of Act 3.***Kirhart** is an enemy character in *Fire Emblem: Unity*. He is the Western General and a lead antagonist, later made playable in a paralogue chapter.

## Profile

Son of the late General Heillos, Kirhart is the western general during the events of Unity. He's deceiving and clever, taking advantage of his innocent appearance to learn about his enemies.

Living in the Western territory from the beginning, Kirhart never got to have a childhood, instead being forced to train by his father. He became quite spiteful and rebellious, finding ways to escape from the castle he grew up in. The burden his father put on his shoulders resulted in Kirhart hating him more and more as the days went by, the abuse he endured in the training sessions pushing him to flee even more often. On one of these runaway escapades, he stumbled across a close-knit group of friends that invited him to join them. He was hesitant to share his name, and as a result they chose to call him Blondie due to his hair. From then on, he visited them during his escapes.

Then, one day when he went to visit, he found them all dead with his father looming above them. He tried to accuse Chon'sin, but it was clear that he had committed the crime. Kirhart finally snapped, waiting until his father was vulnerable and assassinating him. The West mourned, but nobody suspected him- or at the very least, nobody accused him. His hatred did not end there, though; one by one, he began assassinating his father's highest ranking soldiers, replacing them with people he liked more. He started to push for changes to the West's government, pushing its focus away from war efforts. Some of it was for himself, but most of it was out of spite for his father. So long as he knew that Heillos was rolling in his grave, he was satisfied with what he had done.

During the events of *Fire Emblem: Unity*, he's having one his retainers, Lowell, act as the general in the public eye, just to make sure nobody can question his authority based on his age. Between the cold war with Chon'sin and Kirhart's paranoia of losing everything he cared about once more, he's been focusing all the West's efforts on defenses, making sure that nobody suspicious can get into the Western capital.

## Personality

Elusive and cunning, Kirhart is a trickster character in the truest sense of the word. He's easily able to persuade and manipulate others due to his youthful image and innocent masquerade, which gives him quite the strong advantage over his enemies.

Although he's quite the powerful and clever person, Kirhart's youth is his greatest weakness; his spitefulness can cause him to ignore the advantage and take riskier options.
