Bruno

"Oh really? And I suppose you want us to close the gateways too? Hmph. In your dreams."

- The Mysterious Man talking to Alfonse in the Prologue.

Bruno, initially identified as the Mysterious Man (謎の男 Nazo no Otoko), is a major antagonist in Fire Emblem Heroes. He is an enigmatic man of unknown identity who occasionally appears before the Order of Heroes. He is voiced by Shinichiro Miki in the Japanese version and Taliesin Jaffe in the English version.

Profile
Not much is known about the mysterious man except that he fights on the side of the Empire for his own personal reasons. However, he does aid the Order of Heroes as he warns them in Chapter 9 about Veronica's attack on their summoning grounds. He also seems to know something about Alfonse's missing friend, Zacharias, but refuses to say anything more before disappearing.

In Xenologue 1, he asks Veronica whether she feels as if someone is controlling her actions, so which she replies that sometimes the word "kill" pops up in her head, and then she wants to do so.

In Paralogue 3, he is reading through the tome of Bramimond at the World of Blazing, learning that the royalty of a certain nation has the blood of a wicked god, which uses the royalty as puppets, as they are unable to fight the god's influence; the text states this god is known by many names and that its true name has never been written until that point, but the name is not there, much to his frustration. He then proceeds to acquiring some information from that world, as it is the home of the Dragon's Gate, a portal to other worlds. He says that he must also find information on something of his, but this is left unsaid.

In Chapter 10, which was added to the game later, he identifies himself as "Bruno", the prince of the Emblian Empire's imperial family, and an older brother to princess Veronica that has rarely been seen by the public. He also states that he does not want Veronica to conquer Askr. At the end of Paralogue 3-3, Nino gives Alfonse a hand-written letter from Zacharias, where it is stated that Bruno is the true villain, not Veronica.
