Jeorge

"Let me fight with you to save my land, and I will use this silver bow to show you marksmanship unlike any you’ve ever seen."

- Jeorge to Marth

Jeorge (ジョルジュ Jorjue), who is known as George in fan translations, is a Sniper from Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. He is considered the best sniper on the continent, and is widely renowned for his peerless marksmanship.

History
As an Akaneian noble who is also a member of the Akanian Knights, Jeorge uses his skillful archery to support both Princess Nyna and the nation. During the invasion of his homeland by Doluna’s forces, he was subsequently defeated and captured although he later managed to escape. After hearing of Marth’s agreement to help Princess Nyna, he waits in a nearby village to meet them and thereafter joins the Akaneian League to assist in his country’s liberation. After the events of the first war, Jeorge dedicates himself to rebuilding Akaneia and is later promoted to archer-captain for his service. He also becomes Gordin’s mentor around this time and helps the inexperienced archer with his mastery of the bow.

In Monsho no Nazo, Jeorge appears as leader of Akaneia’s archery force wielding the Parthia. He despises Emperor Hardin and what he turned the empire in to. When told by General Lang to attack the Altean force, he chose to ignore his order indirectly, thereby letting Marth through to Lang’s keep. He later outright betrayed the empire and joined Marth after hearing Gordin’s plea for help. Subsequently, he convinces Astram to join Marth’s side as well, after revealing that Nyna had requested Marth’s assistance to stop Hardin. When the second war ends, he founds the Akaneian free knights to protect the people from thieves and bandits.

Overview
Essentially, Jeorge is a Pre-Promoted unit who provides utility with his high starting Weapon Rank, which allows him to equip the strongest bows as soon as he joins (eventually including the Parthia as well after gaining sufficient Weapon Experience). He is fairly useful if the player hadn’t trained any of the Archers, or reclassed another unit to the Sniper class in Shadow Dragon. Although he has weak base stats and growth rates, he can still inflict impressive potshots with his Silver Bow for several more chapters after he joins before becoming too weak to considered usable, unless he is also given the powerful Parthia. Also, he will always have weapon effectiveness against flying units.

In Monshō no Nazo, the player can possibly increase his statistical gains by giving him the Starsphere, which boosts all of a character’s growth rates by 30%. In Book 2, he can also use any of the Starsphere Shards to improve his low growth rates and base stats.
