Grima (character)

Grima (Gimle in the Japanese version) is the main antagonist in Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Profile
Grima is the evil dragon, feared under the title the Fell Dragon. Around 1,000 years before the start of the game, he tried to take over the continent of Ylisse, but was defeated by the first king of Ylisse and Naga. He is awakened when a suitable vessel is born and the awakening ritual is performed. In an alternate future, Grima managed to kill Chrom and bring destruction to the world. To prevent Lucina from interfering with his resurrection in the past, Grima followed her through the Outrealm Gate, but lost most of his power in the process. Over the course of the game, Grima is able to both regain his power and resurrect his past self, but is ultimately defeated by Chrom, Lucina, and Robin.

Etymology
Grima's Japanese name, Gimle, may be named after Gimlé (alternately Gimli) from Norse mythology. It was a place where the survivors of Ragnarök were foretold to live. It is described as the most beautiful place on Earth, even more beautiful than the Sun. Alternatively, in Ásgarðr (the realm of the gods), Gimli is the golden roof of a building where righteous men go when they die.

Gimli was also the name of a dwarf who belonged to the fellowship in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Grima may come from Spanish grima meaning disgust or uneasiness, cognate to English grim. Alternatively, it may come from to Old English grima, which means mask, helmet, or ghost, cognate to English grime.

Grima was also the name of an ally of the traitorous wizard Saruman the White in in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, known as Wormtongue for his deceitful nature.
