**Basilio** is a character from the *Fire Emblem Awakening*games.

The West-Khan of the militant nation of Ferox, he respects those with valor. He often acts and speaks in a silly way, but he is deceptively quick-witted and definitely possesses the strength befitting of his position. He acts as a fatherly protector of Chrom and co. and is both the rival and friend of the East-Khan Flavia.

In the AWA fics, Basilio is a student at the AWA Academy.

In the XP4 fics, Basilio debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Awakening.

## **Appearance**

Basilio is very tall with a dark skin tone, a bald head, a small beard and has dark eyes with an eyepatch covering his left eye. He wears a large yellow neck armor with purple-colored feathered hood, a black high-collared long-sleeve crop top, yellow shoulder armor and arm guards, a yellow waistline armor that resembles a championship belt, black pants, yellow knee-high shin guards and black soles.

## **Personality**

Despite his time as the ruler of Ferox, Basilio often enjoyed leaving the castle for entertainment, as seen in his support conversations with male Robin. He is also a heavy drinker, as shown with some pre-battle dialogue and a conversation between him and Walhart where he states that he is the "Walking Cask of Ferox".

He often acts and speaks in a silly way, with Flavia constantly calling him an oaf due to his attitude. He sees Flavia as both a friend and a rival, although he is afraid of her sometimes due to her threats whenever he accidentally agitates her.

Actually quite quick-witted, he is often viewed as the father-figure of the group due to his old age and personality. He acknowledges the skills of others greatly, as shown when he gave the Shepherds his former champion Lon'qu as a sign of respect for beating his new champion.

Basilio has the strength befitting of his position, as supports between Lon'qu and Gregor shed some further light on Basilio's fighting prowess, with the revelation that Gregor once challenged him for the title of West-Khan, but he was no match for Basilio.

He has the quickest reflexes and biggest reactions in the army. His birthday is August 13.

## **XP4 Fanfics**

Basilio is a member of the Heroes Coalitions as a Solo Hero. He also attends the Vanguard Academy as a student.

### **XP4 Heroes Coalition - Awakening**

In Chapter 6, Basilio alongside Flavia, Lon'qu and Cordelia are at East Ferox fort when the Squad of Excellence and the Shepherds met up with them to discuss about the Emotionless when Raimi arrives and told everyone that the fort is being attacked by the Emotionless. Everyone fought the creatures and managed to get rid of them before heading back inside the fort.

In Chapter 7, Basilio is having a conversation with Sumia, Geo Stelar, Luna Platz, Chrom, Flavia, Robin and Owain at one table in the garrison.

In Chapter 11, Basilio is at the garrison when they heard a noise, they ran to the corridors to see Ryuuko Matoi and Ricken chasing a strange hooded figure which he and Flavia recognized as the one that attacked their country. Everyone went after the figure and led them to a large grassy fields, and reveals itself as a Pokemon known as Hitmonlee. The Pokemon then revealed that he stole an ancient alien artifact called the Ara-Ka Cube inside the castle. Everyone watches in horror as Hitmonlee uses the alien artifact to summon a zombified version of Emmeryn and Phila, much to everyone's disgust. Hitmonlee then summoned a large number of Emotionless, forcing Basilio and everyone to fight. Basilio then witnessed Donnel activating his *Gift*.

In Chapter 12 & Epilogue, Basilio, alongside everyone, witnessed Donnel activating his Gift turning both Emmeryn and Phila back to life. After defeating the remaining Emotionless, forcing Hitmonlee to flee, life in Ylisstol went back to normal.

## **Abilities**

Like his fellow East-Khan, Basilio starts off as a Promoted unit. His recruitment base stats are a great starting point and makes him a good replacement for lost units or if you need a Warrior unit for the next 3 chapters. Unfortunately Basilio's resistance is quite low and will be problematic against the abundance of mage units in the last few chapters. Luckily he has decent speed and skill stats and growths to compensate for this, but should still remain vigilant to magic users, especially with Wind Mages on higher difficulties. Luckily though, Basilio gains a boost in base stats depending on the difficulty played. It is also worth mentioning that Basilio, if maxed out, will have a better defense and resistance stat by having each be one point higher than that of Vaike's. Overall Basilio is a great late game addition to use but Vaike with decent training and usage and time will most likely be much better than he by the time of his recruitment.

Basilio's base comes from the Fighter class, giving him Zeal and HP +5. He will only have Rally Strength upon his recruitment, but training him 5 more levels will give him Counter which on higher difficulties is a great skill against Hawkeye units. Having Fighter as his base also gives him access to the Hero class. Sol is an excellent attacking skill for Basilio to use over Luna if you prefer regeneration over raw damage. Basilio's high Strength base and growth will give him a decent amount of HP regeneration upon usage, assuming he isn't challenging Knights or Sorcerers. Axebreaker can also be considered if he is to be a unit killer, mostly Wyvern Units and fellow Fighter/Barbarian base units.

## **Trivia**

* Basilio's official artwork depicts him wielding Titania's Axe.
* Oddly, while Basilio's eyepatch is traditionally on his left side in official art and for his character model, for his confession scene and map sprite, it is on his right side. This also occurs when his portrait faces the left.
* Like Vaike, Basilio uses a larger model when in the Barbarian, Fighter, and Warrior classes. Additionally, Basilio is the only playable character to use the bulky appearance as a Berserker.
* Basilio shares his English voice actor, Patrick Seitz, with *Gaiden*/*Echoes: Shadows of Valentia's* Zeke.
