“It's no wonder they call you Lamia the wicked. It sure suits you.”
—Daccar complimenting Lamia

Lamia, better known by her nickname Lamia the Heartless, is an enemy character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. She is the leader of an all-female band of assassins, and is hired by Daccar to guard the castle and pick off any stragglers who dare come near. After Donovan is killed, Lamia will be ordered to move out and directly attack Sigurd's army. Despite Lamia's confidence in her abilities, she will eventually fall in battle, alongside her assassin band.

Etymology

In ancient Greek mythology, Lamia was a woman who became a child-eating monster after her children were destroyed by Hera, who learned of her husband Zeus's trysts with her.

Lamia has also been ascribed to a type of feminine creature with serpentine qualities that would seduce and kill men.

Trivia

• Lamia bears a strong resemblance to a younger version of Hilda. Much like Hilda, Lamia is well-known for being cruel, and derives pleasure from the suffering sustained by other people.
• Lamia, alongside Macbeth and Ovo, is one of the only minor bosses to not have her portrait re-used.
