“Such a brutal, irrational world we live in. Some believe the Crests, tokens of the Goddess's power, are necessary to maintain order. But they're wrong, Teacher. The Crests are to blame.”
—Edelgard speaking with Byleth

Edelgard is one of the protagonists and a playable character in the upcoming Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is the heir apparent of the Adrestian Empire and a student at the Officer's Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery. She's also the house leader of the Black Eagles.

Byleth acts as Edelgard's instructor in battle. She appears to wield both Swords and Axes as her primary weapons, and she seems able to hone her skills for both out of battle. She also seems to possess the capability to use magic as a separate option from attack.

The Adrestian princess has a dignified, high-minded, solemn air about her, and she coolly evaluates her surroundings and those around her before she acts.
