Ogma

"Do me a favor, and leave the dangerous fighting to me and my men."

- Ogma to Shiida in a conversation in Shadow Dragon.

Ogma (オグマ Oguma, romanized as Oguma in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and their remakes. He is a hard-edged mercenary of Talys. He was born in Pyrathi as the son of a Grust-born woman who was the wife of an executed Akaneian nobleman, but his mother died protecting him in his youth. He eventually ended up as a gladiator in Knorda and was drafted into the Talysian army after Princess Shiida stopped several people from punishing him for aiding in Samto's escape. Ogma then dedicated his life to being the princess's bodyguard and was eventually handpicked as the guard of both her and Marth during the latter's quest. He is also the captain of Barst, Bord, and Cord.

In Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Ogma allied with General Lorenz in protecting two Grustian royal children: Yubello and Yumina. He caught up with them and protected them throughout a valley full of Vikings, with the help of a mysterious knight named Sirius. Later, he joins up with Marth once more, but vanishes once the whole battle is over.

In an optional conversation with Shiida in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, he says the king will kill him if she is hurt, but she asks him to take care of Marth. In the end they make an agreement: he will take care of Marth if she will stay safe and in the back of the fighting.

He is shown to have some kind of relationship with Nabarl, which is occasionally a violent one.
