“Who is it that makes for the most terrifying assassin? ...Do you know? When you fear assassination, you must strengthen your defenses, you must make use of soldiers you trust... If there are no soldiers you can trust with defense, you must build a wall to keep intruders at bay. But there is one person you can never stop, no matter the soldiers, no matter the walls... In the end, you can always be betrayed by the ones you never expect: your very selves.”
—Læraðr to Alfonse

Læraðr is the main antagonist of Book VIII of Fire Emblem Heroes.

Profile

Born from Yggdrasill, Læraðr can be seen as the World-Tree's other self. He is the father of Ratatoskr, Hræsvelgr, Níðhöggr, Eikþyrnir, and Heiðrún and leader of the Healing Hands. For unknown reasons, he has ordered his daughters to prevent the peace between the Kingdom of Askr and the Emblian Empire from being finalized. He has also instructed Hræsvelgr and Níðhöggr to end their own lives once their work is complete. According to Ratatoskr, those not from Yggdrasill require his permission in order to be granted entrance.

Personality

Læraðr is shown to be a ruthless and almost borderline insane individual who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even threatening others with death or poison. As a result, even his own children have come to fear him. However, much of his current state stems from past trauma, due to being betrayed by a former king who threatened his family to be killed in order to retain his youth.
