The Ashen Wolves is a group that inhabits Abyss. They appear and play a critical role in Cindered Shadows, a DLC side-story in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They claim to be the secret fourth house of the Officers Academy, but there is no official public record of their existence, and they are merely known by those who are also aware of Abyss.
Profile[]
As he began serving as the envoy for the Church of Seiros to Abyss, Aelfric discovered several denizens who were around the age of Officers Academy students. Desiring to help residents of Abyss eventually return to the surface, he worked together with Rhea to create a pseudo-house modeled after the three houses of the Officers Academy with the hopes of giving the people of Abyss a proper education.
In 1165, the Ashen Wolves were formally created as a fourth, unofficial Officers Academy house in name only. Rhea herself named the house after the beasts who guard the sacred Blue Sea Star. Aelfric has served as the house's instructor since its inception and continues to do so during the events of Cindered Shadows in 1180.
Members of the Ashen Wolves wear uniforms similar in nature to the Officers Academy student uniform, with some minor but notable differences. While the standard Officers Academy uniform is primarily black and gold, the Ashen Wolves wear uniforms wear that are predominantly silver and grey. Their uniforms also feature black chains as uniform accessories, which are absent from the standard Officers Academy garb.

Etymology[]
Much like the other three classes, the Japanese pronunciation of the Ashen Wolves takes their names from German. The Ashen Wolves are roughly called "wolfklasse," which means "Wolf Class."
