“Ah. You must be that renowned mercenary. Perhaps you'd like to join me for a cup of tea sometime. My name is Lorenz Hellman Gloucester. You will want to remember it.”

Lorenz is a playable character that appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Lorenz is a student at the Officers Academy who is from the Leicester Alliance and is a member of the Golden Deer. He possesses a minor Crest of Gloucester. He is 18 at the start of the game.

Profile

Early life

Lorenz is the eldest son and heir to the County of Gloucester. He enrolled in the Royal Academy of Sorcery at Fhirdiad in 1178, but was forced to leave Faerghus and return home when rebellion erupted in the Kingdom's west.

Academy phase

Lorenz enrolls in Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy in Imperial Year 1180, and joins the Golden Deer. His snobby demeanor belies his serious nature, as he fully understands his responsibility as nobility. It seems he has been approaching girls at the monastery, to little success.

Personality

Lorenz takes great pride in being a member of the nobility and is not above referencing his status. This does stunt his interactions with others, as he would often bluntly express disdain for certain tendencies of commoners, or approach another nobleman/noblewoman to discuss politics, much to their chagrin. His pride also leads him to believe that he bears responsibility for the future of the Leceister Alliance as he sees Claude as too irreverent or underhanded to be a capable leader.

However, Lorenz does, at the very least, appreciate the companionship of his classmates regardless of their social background and does try to support them the best he can. Additionally, he takes his responsibility as heir to a noble house more seriously. Unlike other more selfish nobles of the Alliance, Lorenz does consider the well-being of his future vassals and wishes that the Leceister Alliance would be more cooperative than self-serving. This sense of responsibility has led to disdain towards the current ruling nobles, including his father.

Five years after leaving the Academy, and thanks to his time under Byleth's tutelage, he has dropped most of his elitist views of commoners and believes that commoners that display exceptional talent and work ethic should rise to higher social standings. Additionally, after he gets to know Claude better, he starts to respect Claude more and recognizes that Claude's charisma and level-headed temperament makes him a better leader of the Leicester Alliance that he would ever be.

Overall

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Given his skill levels, Lorenz will have easy access to the Soldier class family (Soldier, Cavalier, Paladin) and the Monk class family (Monk, Mage, Dark Mage, Warlock, Dark Bishop, Dark Knight).

Lorenz is an oddball in that his strength and magic growth rates are equal, giving him a great amount of versatility in terms of chosen classes. However, that same versatility and average growth rates can be a drawback as well, as he will never excel at either physical or magic damage compared to dedicated characters. His growth rates also run into a problem of reliability, as nothing truly stands out and he doesn't have the elevated growth rates that Byleth has. His health has an oddly high growth rate, giving him some decent durability.

Building him up to be a Dark Knight tends to make the best use of his versatility. In preparation for such a class, it is recommended to get Lorenz to master the Mage class for Fiendish Blow, helping to improve his magic damage. His lance skills will often serve as a backup as a Dark Knight against magic-resistant foes.

One issue with Lorenz, however, is his post-timeskip availability. In the Azure Moon and Silver Snow routes, he will not be available after the timeskip until you defeat him in Chapter 16. During this time, your other characters are likely to surpass him, hindering his continued usage.

Possible Endings

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

Lorenz - Noble of the Red Rose

Soon after the war, Lorenz assumed leadership over House Gloucester and helped govern Fódlan as a representative of the old Alliance lords. His political talent yielded revolutionary policy changes, many of which were of particular benefit to the commonfolk.

Lorenz and Byleth (Verdant Wind)

Byleth announced her marriage to Lorenz shortly after becoming leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. Lorenz took equally well to his dual roles as the queen's husband and the leader of House Gloucester, working simultaneously to restore his own territory and to advance the development of Fódlan at large. Because his policies were of particular benefit to the commonfolk, he was well loved, and came to be called the Lord of Roses. After many years of peace, Lorenz grew ill and withdrew from the public eye. The queen followed, entrusting the throne to the prince. It is said that he was the spitting image of his father.

Lorenz and Leonie

As the new head of House Gloucester, Lorenz first worked to restore his own territory, and then expanded his vision to include reforms for all of Fódlan. At the height of his storied political career, he announced his marriage to Leonie, who had become a renowned mercenary. The choice came as a shock to the public, who could not see what the pair had in common, but those who knew them well saw it as inevitable due to the strength of the bond they had forged during the war. As a ruling couple, they used their varying talents to usher in a new age of prosperity and carve their names into history.

Lorenz and Marianne

As the new head of House Gloucester, Lorenz first worked to restore his own territory, and then expanded his vision to include reforms for all of Fódlan. At the height of his storied political career, he announced his marriage to Marianne. Prior to the wedding she received extensive tutelage from her adoptive father, Margrave Edmund, so that by the time they were wed she was fully prepared to govern. The pair was particularly successful in providing new innovations in dairy farming, and came to be known as the mother and father of horses and cattle in the region. It is said that Lorenz was rather vexed by the title.

Lorenz and Dorothea (Silver Snow)

As the new head of House Gloucester, Lorenz first worked to restore his own territory, and then expanded his vision to include reforms for all Fódlan. At the height of his storied political career, he announced his marriage to Dorothea, who had returned to prominence with the Mittelfrank Opera Company. The elaborate wedding was the most talked-about social event of the season, and the fashions on display from the savvy noblemen and the stylish songstress set the trends with young people across Fódlan for a decade.

Lorenz and Mercedes (Crimson Flower)

After the war, Mercedes accompanied Lorenz back to his homeland. There, the young heir petitioned his father, Count Gloucester, to permit the couple to marry. The the count initially disapproved of Mercedes's status as a commoner, he was persuaded by her virtues as a person to change his mind. In fact, he praised Lorenz for having a taste in character superior to his own. After Lorenz succeeded his father as lord of the territory, the couple finally wed. With Lorenz's stern approach to governance, and Mercedes's open mind, House Gloucester flourished under their rule.

Trivia

• Lorenz shares his English voice actor, Ben Diskin, with Caspar, as well as Fates' Jakob, Saizo, and Hayato.
• After the time skip, Lorenz has a unique battle model as a Paladin.
• Lorenz stands at 188cm (or about 6’2”).
• Despite Lorenz has Reason as one of his strong points, he's never encountered as a magical class, unless he's recruited and re-classed. Plus he doesn't have a unique battle model as a magical class.
  • This is probably the reason why Lorenz is reluctant to use his Hero's Relic (Thyrsus) as, canonically, he doesn't have any use of it.
