—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.
Personality
Though he looks unsociable at first glance, Ignatius is a timid person, much like his father is; but is noted to be 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.

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).
