"The man who uses nothing but might and numbers can never succeed on the battlefield. Strategy requires finess. You'd be wise to remember that."

- Grey warning Hector about his fighting style. Grey (グレー, Gurē ) is a man from Kafti studying to be an Edgemaster in Nabata. Grey passionately studies both the art of the sword and elder magic, stating, "The two require absolute precision. One mistake, and you can be lost forever."Grey is a member of The Council of Maerytoem, one of the two nations in Kafti. Maerytoem is heavily populated with Myrmidon, Shaman, Druid, and Swordmaster forces. It is also home to the unique classes of Edgemasters and Shademasters, who are incredibly skilled in swords and Dark Magic. As one of the Tribal Representatives and an Edgemaster, Grey represents the Order Tribe. During the 977th Council of Maerytoem, the neighboring Kingdom of Kuthara began their attack. Kuthara, heavily populated with Berserker, Warrior, Fighter, Mage, and Sage forces, was at an immediate disadvantage, and was nearly wiped out by Grey, who showed brilliant tactical skills.However, Kuthara had secretly been working with Nergal, and had pledged their allegiance to him in exchange for powerful Morph forces to help them conquer Kafti. The Maerytoemi, caught completely off guard by Nergal's incredible Morphs, were all but decimated. The Sovereign of Maerytoem, just before the capital was over run, teleported Grey to mainland Elibe to build his strength and investigate Nergal's intentions. Grey was ordered to hide the fact that he was an Edgemaster, as he would be an immediate target for Nergal.After he was teleported against his will, he was discovered by Lyn in Sacae. When asked who he was, he claimed to be a simple Tactician, traveling across Elibe to hone his skills. He agreed to help Lyn in her quest to increase her sword skills, hoping she would prove to be a powerful ally, thus leading to the events of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. After the Morphic War, Grey remained in Nabata to practice his swordsmanship and dark magic. He returned to Kafti, and using his honed skills in swordsmanship, dark magic, and tactics, he was able to push Kutharan troops out of Maerytoem, and set up a large wall along the border. Grey became the Sovereign, and led Maerytoem into prosperity. During the Dragon Wars, (the events of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi), Grey managed to keep Maerytoem out of the conflict, and, while many felt they should intervene, the people remained happy for ages to come.
