Marty

"Here we go again..."

- Marty

Marty (マーティ Māti) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. A youth from Fiana, he is also a former member of the Mount Violdrake Bandits. He follows in the footsteps of Dagdar.

He is a dumb yet dutiful man. When Leif is captured by enemy forces and Marty is separated from the rest of the group, he ends up being press-ganged into another bandit group which happens to later descend upon the recently-freed Leif and company. When Marty is confronted by Orsin, he immediately realizes what's going on and rejoins Leif.

He is a somewhat popular character to use due to Thracia 776's Capture system. This is due to the fact that Marty has one of (if not the highest) builds out of all the playable characters, enabling him to capture many different types of characters others cannot.

He is one of the two Brigands in Fire Emblem series that can be recruited, the other being Gonzalez from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade. Unlike the other recruitable character in Thracia 776, Marty's portrait faces straight ahead while the others are looking at an angle.

Overall
Marty's suffers from terrible base skill and speed, terrible growths in said stats, and significant competition from his boss, Dagdar. Marty's speed and skill will enjoy startlingly high increases upon promotion, but will remain terrible all the same. Marty's overall growths in no way compensate for this; while it is true that he does have great HP, decent luck, and the highest defense growth in the game, he also has an uncharacteristically low Strength growth. Marty lacks the movement star that Dagdar possesses,and will have to rely on a lucky move growth to match Dagdar's movement. Finally, Marty's build will hit 20 very quickly, making it impossible for cavalry units to rescue him.

Marty does, however, have his advantages. He has an extremely high build right from the start,so he can capture enemies with ease compared to the rest of your units. In order to maintain his capturing prowess, he will need to find skill and speed growths. The early-game Speed Ring can remedy his poor speed, but it is better off in the hands of Leif, who will need all the help he can get during the Manster arc. Scrolls,on the other hand, benefit Marty massively. Players seeking to use Marty should give him the  Odo scroll and Sety Scroll, and possibly the  Baldo Scroll, all of which are obtained before his re-recruitment midway through Mount Violdrake. Upon promotion, Marty will have stats more befitting a swordmaster than a brigand. Marty's Strength issues cannot be resolved as easily, however. Overall, Marty is a poor unit who can be salvaged, albeit at the expense of overall efficiency, through the power of the Crusader Scrolls.
