"So you've come, Hector of Ostia. Your existence itself was my greatest miscalculation."

- Nergal

Hector (ヘクトル, Hekutoru) is one of the three protagonist of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. He is also a minor character in the previous game, Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi.

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken
In Rekka no Ken, Hector is a young lord and a good friend of Eliwood. Hector's parents died of a disease and his older brother, Uther, is the current lord of Ostia.

He is bold by nature, and his straightforward, blunt mannerisms are often a source of consternation among Lycian nobility. Tiring of the inaction on the part of the Lycian nobility against Marquess Laus' recent suspicious activity, he gathers his axe and sets out on a quest to help Eliwood search for his father Elbert with the assistance of some of his Ostian colleagues, Serra the cleric, Matthew the thief, and Oswin the knight. His personality has a surprising compatibility with Lyn's and they strike up an unusual friendship ranging from provoking each other to chasing each other on with offhand remarks. This frequently confuses Eliwood, who cannot tell whether they are friends or not.

Later on in the story, Hector's brother Lord Uther dies of disease. Oswin was given strict orders not to tell him, which angered him greatly until Eliwood convinced him to forgive Oswin. He grieves for a short time, but then gets over it to help stop Nergal. Hector eventually acquires the legendary axe Armads, used by the legendary Durban. This is a foreshadowing to the events of Fūin no Tsurugi with the saying "He who wields Armads shall die not peacefully, but in battle"; a warning which Hector took seriously but chose to accept in order to help Eliwood.

If he has an A support with Lyn, Florina, or Farina, he will marry her in the game's ending, also unlocking a special CG scene per character.

Hector's class is a Lord, and his upgraded class is a Great Lord.

Trivia

Etymology
Hector is speculated to be named after Hector of Troy, a hero from the Iliad known for his honor as well as his prowess in battle, who is killed by Achilles.

Another likely source could be Sir Ector, foster father of King Arthur. This is evidenced by Roys resemblance with Arthur.
