“You're living proof that even cowards like us can make our way in the world.”
—Ignatius to his father

Ignatius (イグニス Igunisu, lit. Ignis in the Japanese version) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Akinori Egoshi in the Japanese version and Kaiji Tang in the English version.


Profile

Ignatius is the son of Benny. He can also be the brother of Male Kana or Shigure if Benny achieves an S-Support with the Female Avatar or Azura. Like other children of Fates, he was placed in the Deeprealms to protect him from the war.

In his Paralogue, Ignatius leaves his Deeprealm and heads to Nohr. Along his journey, he eventually comes upon a Hoshidan village being attacked by invisible soldiers. Despite some initial fear, he musters the courage to tell some villagers to run away while he stands in between them to protect them from the invisible army. As they accept his offer, he tells them to seek help if they can find any. He clutches onto a charm that his father gave to him as a gift, giving him the strength to be brave for the sake of the village. As luck would have it, the villagers eventually stumble onto Benny. Hearing of his son's plight, Benny and the army head straight to the Village to save his son and protect the village. After a long battle, the village is safe from the invisible forces. Benny approaches his son, proud of his newfound strength. Ignatius plays down his father's compliments, saying that if not for his original rescue, he would have most likely been killed. Knowing that he still is not as strong as his father, he demands to join the army to become stronger alongside his father. Benny obliges, but tells Ignatius that he is not as brave as he thinks as he has only been in war for a short time compared to most of the other war hardened members of the army. Nevertheless, Ignatius tells his father that he wants to become a hero just like him and Benny responds that Ignatius is fine just the way he is.

Personality

Though he looks imposing at first glance, Ignatius is a timid person, much like his father is; but like his father, Ignatius is much kinder than he looks. He is fond of cute things. He is shown to treasure a charm given to him by his father to protect him. His supports with his father show that the two can be quite awkward around each other and are quite unsure of what to say when alone together.

In addition to his timid nature, he is deeply afraid of bugs to the point where it is shown he usually gets his mother to handle any bugs that bother him. He is also afraid of ghosts and clowns, as revealed in his supports with Selkie.

His birthday is August 16.

Overall

Base Class Set

Ignatius starts off as a Knight, granting him a good boost to his otherwise average Defense growth and making him a good tank. Further improving his durability is his inheritance from his father, who is usually able to pass down a good amount of defense. From the Knight class, Ignatius gains Defense +2 and Natural Cover, further increasing his defensive capabilities. The Knight's promotions are Great Knight and General, which pass down Luna/Armored Blow and Wary Fighter/Pavise respectively. Luna can help Ignatius dish out some additional damage, and Armored Blow allows him to approach the front lines and land the first hit without much fear of retaliation against physical forms of damage. Wary Fighter can be a good fit for Ignatius due to his poor speed growth and usually poor speed inheritance from his father, while Pavise further improves Ignatius' ability to absorb enemy attacks.

Etymology

Ignatius is a Latin name meaning "fiery one", while Ignis is the Latin word for flame or firebrand (which is very ironic, since Ignatius is timid in character).

Saint Ignatius of Loyola is a Spanish Catholic saint mostly known as the founder of the Society of Jesus alias Jesuit Order, an all-male religious order which has been very important in the story of Roman Catholicism as a whole. Although vague in its origins, Ignatius' name could allude to Ignatius of Loyola being the patron saint of soldiers (he was a soldier before deciding to follow a religious path).

Trivia

  • Ignatius shares his English voice actor, Kaiji Tang, with Odin and Shiro.
    • He also shares his Japanese voice actor, Akinori Egoshi, with Iago.
  • Ignatius shares his name with a boss from Awakening.
  • Ignatius was voted as the 33rd most popular male character on Nintendo's official Fates character poll.
