“Oh, Father, there’s no shame in standing by to help when needed. Isn’t that what a good butler does? Serve, not show up his masters”
—Dwyer, Paralogue 4

Dwyer (ディーア Dīa, Deere in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Yuuichi Iguchi in the Japanese version and by Gideon Emery in the English version.

Profile

Being the son of Jakob, Dwyer grew up with much pressure from his father to become a butler and fight for the Avatar. Although he does become a fine butler (even surpassing his own father), he tends to refrain from fighting, sticking to healing and helping his allies rather than fighting the enemy.

In his Paralogue, Jakob visits his Deeprealm to deliver his favorite coffee beans. However, to Jakob's surprise, invisible forces have infiltrated Dwyer's Deeprealm and is attacking his house. Jakob quickly rushes to rescue his son. Hearing the commotion outside, Dwyer decides that the best course of action is to stay inside and let his caretakers defend him. In the meantime, he promises to keep them healthy until he can be rescued. Jakob misinterprets his inaction as laziness and when Dwyer finally reunites with him, Jakob chastises him for not fighting, even though he is healing his comrades. Dwyer rebukes him, saying that healing does as much good for others as fighting. He even adds that he taught him how to be a good butler, and that is done first by serving others, not showing up his masters. Jakob continues to chastise him, saying that there is more worth protecting others through their bodies rather than healing in the back. Jakob vows to show Dwyer how to properly be a butler, and Dwyer agrees to see how it is done.

After the battle, Dwyer finds out that all of his caretakers had abandoned him in the aftermath. Suddenly, an invader sneaks up behind Jakob, and Dwyer leaps into action to protect him. Jakob is amazed that Dwyer's "Slappyface" attack managed to down the invader, leaving him to wonder why Dwyer did not fight earlier. Dwyer explains that it was their job to watch over him, so he did not want to take away their work from them. Dwyer decides to join the army and even declares that he will become a better butler than his father. Jakob takes this as a challenge and looks forward to their battle of the best butler.

After the war, he continued serving as a butler, being famous for his tea extraction methods.

Personality

Dwyer is normally seen competing against his father in some form or manner. Although lazy and apathetic, his motto is "work before rest". He hates being ordered around by others, but when he is left alone, he takes care of chores splendidly. He is a naturally skilled butler and combatant. His specialty is brewing coffee, something that Jakob and his mother admits is better than Jakob's own specialty brew.

Similar to his father, Dwyer strongly wishes to serve the Avatar as his butler. During their support conversations, Dwyer always heavily hints of how he would be a better butler than his father and how the Avatar should employ him instead. His supports with Jakob and Asugi reveal that he's a master at hand-to-hand combat, but he considers this talent to be virtually useless against enemies with weapons. Due to Jakob's hellish combat training while he was a child, even without training he's able to retain all of his fighting skills.

Compared to Jakob, Dwyer is noticeably more considerate towards others. Many of his supports show how he takes care of others purely out of instinct, such as adding cardamom and cinnamon to Nina's tea after noticing that her voice was a little hoarse. Though overly blunt at times, he's also quite gentlemanly towards women. He has a strong no-nonsense personality, however, when it comes to cleanliness, manners, etiquette, and overall common sense. His supports with Kiragi show that he has strong "butler instincts" and that he refuses to take any nonsense from nobles, both of them traits passed down from his father. He also feels very uncomfortable when others call him a kind person. While he is very lazy, he does not see caring for his friends as work.

He has the most hidden talents. His birthday is November 16.
