Fuga

"Worry not, young prince/ss. Your power is beyond question, and your aim is true. No matter what path you walk or which kingdom you fight for... I am certain you will always make the right choice and use that blade for good."

- Fuga, Conquest Chapter 20: Winds of Change

Fuga (フウガ Fūga) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Hiroshi Matsumoto in the Japanese version and by Imari Williams in the English version. He is only recruitable in the Revelation route.

Profile
The chieftain of Hoshido's Wind Tribe and best friend of the late King Sumeragi. He possesses a majesty unique to a veteran hero and his entire body exudes the presence of a stalwart warrior. He uses his opponent’s strength to determine their character and ability. In addition, he is Hayato's adoptive father: he was a close friend of Hayato's mother (whom he had feelings for, but never confessed them to her), and when she and her husband were murdered by Faceless, Fuga took their child in. He is the most loved by children. His birthday is January 8.

Birthright
On the way to find Takumi and Ryoma, the Avatar and the party are halfway through the Eternal Staircase when they are attacked by Faceless. After battling them, they find out they were members of the Wind Tribe and that Iago disguised them as Faceless. Arriving at the Wind Tribe Village, the party goes to tell Fuga that their deaths were a misunderstanding. Fuga tells them that he will believe them if they can defeat him.

After the battle, Fuga notices that the Avatar has the Yato on them and comments about it and how he was friends with Sumeragi. He tells the Avatar that he already knows about the incident and believes them, because he would have never expected strangers to be willingly taken to his doorstep. After a short conversation, as part of a "mutual agreement", he allows Hayato to travel with the Avatar.

Conquest
In Chapter 20, Fuga meets with the Avatar and the Nohrian forces. Playing a neutral role in the war with Hoshido and Nohr, he blocks a passage leading deeper into the caves. Before he lets them through, he challenges them to a fight to see if they are worthy enough to use the passage. Fuga and his Wind Tribe members fight the Nohrian forces on a windy passageway to put them at a disadvantage, and after he is defeated he deems them worthy enough. He later leaves with Hayato, wishing them luck.

Revelation
In Chapter 9, Fuga is very angry at the Avatar's group since he believes they killed some of his clansmen. He can be recruited through My Castle by raising the Bath House to level three, taking the place of Izana.

Personality
Fuga's philosophy is that innocence can be proven through one's conviction in battle. Fuga has devoted so much of his life to fighting that he questions if he spent his life well, wishing he had enjoyed life and started a family like Sumeragi. He wonders if he is so old he should retire, but the Avatar encourages him his wisdom is needed for their cause to be successful. Near the end of their supports he also shows some fatherly qualities towards the Avatar. He acts as a mentor towards Hayato, and a bit towards the Avatar, pushing them forward on their path of peace in Revelation.
