Not to be confused with Fargus
—Fergus
Fergus is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is a mercenary of mysterious origins, with rumours claiming that his father is Beowolf and his mother a Conote noble. Should these rumours be true, Fergus would be the half-brother of Diarmuid and possibly Nanna.

Profile[edit | edit source]
Before Thracia 776[edit | edit source]
Fergus was imprisoned in the Munster dungeon after beating up a group of soldiers who harassed the Pegasus Rider Karin.
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776[edit | edit source]
Locked up in the same cell as Leif and Karin in Chapter 4, Fergus strikes up conversation with the prince and befriends him. When the Magi Squad later breaks into the dungeon to rescue Leif, Fergus and Karin flee with him, thereafter joining the Fiana Freeblades.
Fergus then goes on to continue supporting Leif in his cause to liberate Northern Thracia from the Grannvale Empire. He disappears without a trace thereafter, leaving nothing but a trail of rumours that can neither be confirmed nor disconfirmed in his wake.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Although Fergus has a strong sense of justice, he is also portrayed to be reckless at the same time, as he resorts to physical violence in response to seeing Karin harassed by soldiers from Munster.
Despite his recklessness, Fergus adopts a carefree, placid attitude on the whole, a fact that sees him being able to casually take a nap even while being imprisoned. He is also a bit of a flirt, cheekily asking Karin if she is attracted to him when she comments that everyone has their fine points.

Fergus is a powerful unit throughout the course of Thracia 776. In the beginning and middle sections of the game, he can hold his own well, as his high Pursuit Critical Coefficient of 5 allows him to obliterate enemies with critical attacks should he land a second strike.
Fergus shares a mutual support with another important unit, Karin. This support works to further increase his Hit Rate, Avoid and critical hit chance, and is especially useful in the early sections of the game.
Being a mounted cavalier unit with strong Constitution and a high Sword rank, Fergus is the natural wielder of the Brave Sword, which is very effective for capturing units.
Fergus' strengths are offset by his low Speed, which could prevent him from performing a pursuit attack against some units if his Speed is not high enough. He will thus benefit the most from the Sety Scroll, which will marginally help remedy his Speed growth.
Ending[edit | edit source]
Fergus - The Free Knight (きままな自由騎士 Kimamana jiyū kishi)
- "After the fighting was all over, Fergus vanished almost immediately. Was he an illegitimate son of the legendary knight Beowulf? A long-lost prince of the Conote royal family? Rumors persist about this mysterious figure, but with Fergus gone, the truth has been lost forever."
