“We are Legion. One is all, and all is one. Want to know how to defeat us? Simple. Just kill the real us. But, can yous find the real us? Uweheehee.”
—Legion

Legion is a boss character in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. He is a masked Berserker working for Eremiya. He commands several fighters seemingly identical in appearance and personality to himself, affectionately referring to them as "brothers". If Legion dies, all of his brothers "break", being unable to fight anymore.

Legion has a distinctive speech pattern, and usually uses the pronoun "we" instead of "I", in reference to his name and his many brothers. When referring only to himself, he sometimes instead just uses "Legion" in the third-person.

Profile[]

Legion was raised to be an assassin in an orphanage by Eremiya. Several other orphans were trained to follow him blindly, copying his name, personality and appearance, likely to save time in training new assassins. Under Gharnef's orders, Legion works with Katarina and Clarisse to assassinate Marth.

After the initial plan to kill Marth fails, several other attempts are made, with Legion's brothers serving as the main fighting force for the orphanage assassins. They are used as disposable cannon fodder by Eremiya and Clarisse due to their large numbers, but after most of them are killed, the real Legion is forced to make an appearance.

In Chapter 10x, Legion is killed by Marth's army, and as a result, all of his surviving brothers cease to function. Eremiya, knowing that the remaining Legions would now be useless in battle, ordered Katarina to kill them. Katarina refused, finding the act too cruel, causing Clarisse to take care of the job in her place.

"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Legion shows up as a playable character alongside four of his brothers in the prequel DLC chapter, Assassins, taking place after the events of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. Here, it is revealed that Legion fought in a mission to eradicate the Soothsires.

Personality[]

Legion loves battles and little else. He always wants to fight and strongly believes that victory is in numbers. He fights with no concern for his own life, seemingly enjoying the thrill of murder. Like the other orphans, he will dutifully follow any orders from Eremiya, the woman who raised him.

He's very devious, constantly mocking enemies and allies alike on whether they're talking to a brother or the real one, as every Legion knows who the real Legion is. He is also prone to insane fits of laughter. This erratic, playful side of him often angers Clarisse.

Legion has a very poor sense of grammar and will often pluralize random words incorrectly, likely as a result of the cruel training from Eremiya. In the Japanese version of Heroes, he is unable to pronounce most sounds, and often slurs his words.

Despite his brutal personality, Legion also has a softer side. The reason he calls all of his underlings 'brothers' is due to the fact that they were all raised in the same orphanage, even correcting Clarisse when she refused to call them as such. In Heroes, Legion defends Katarina when Clarisse criticized her for not doing her job correctly, openly calling her a liar and stating that Katarina did what she was asked to do. In one of his home screen dialogues he mentions that "they" both hate and like Katarina.

In his level 40 dialogue in Heroes, Legion is shown to be aware of his own mental state, acknowledging that him and all his brothers have had their minds broken by Eremiya. Additionally, in the Japanese version, he says he does not feel that he is human, and reveals that he is unable to tell the difference between affection and hatred.

It's hard to establish the personality of Legion's brothers, if any. It's unknown if Legion's brothers are fully aware that they are trying to imitate Legion, if they are just empty shells without a will or if they each have distinct personalities that they keep hidden. They are at the very least, very committed to protecting Legion, implying that they're aware that if he dies, they won't know how to function as human beings.

Etymology[]

Legion's English name is a Biblical reference to the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39) where Jesus asks demon's name, and the demon answers, "My name is Legion, for we are many." This itself is a reference to a Roman legion (legio), which consisted of several thousand soldiers.

Trivia[]

  • Legion's clones are infinite, gameplay-wise. No matter how many turns are spent killing the clones, there will still be leftovers after killing the main Legion.
  • Legion is the only default playable Berserker in Awakening. Additionally, Legion uses the Buff Berserker model when an enemy, but switches to the Skinnier appearance when recruited. A similar oddity occurs with Vaike regarding the Berserker model.
  • The Berserkers that accompany Legion in his SpotPass battle all share identical skills and stats as Legion referencing the clones in the original game.
  • His artworks depict him wielding the Legion's Axe.
  • In Fire Emblem Heroes, Legion's Grand Hero Battle map is based on New Mystery of the Emblem Chapter 10x.
    • Legion's Grand Hero Battle is the first map to have Infernal difficulty.
  • Legion shares his English voice actor, Christopher Corey Smith, with Reinhardt and Seth in Fire Emblem Heroes, Yarne in Fire Emblem Awakening, and Slayde in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
