—Ogier to Lilina in a support conversation
Ogier is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. He is a Mercenary from Lycia hired by Ostia.
Profile[]
Ogier joins a band of Ostian soldiers in order to pay for his impoverished family's meals. However, because his physique and ability was incompatible with being part of the heavy knights, he instead chose the path of a mercenary. He joins Roy's party alongside Gwendolyn and Barthe, determined to rescue his lady, Lilina, who was imprisoned in her own castle after a coup. Together, they aim to defeat Leygance and restore the Ostian throne to its rightful heir.
After the war, Ogier traveled the world as a mercenary.
Personality[]
Ogier is a humble and somewhat reserved individual, often appearing shy and respectful, viewing others as above him due to his upbringing in a poor family. His comrade im arms, Bors, acknowledges that while some might dismiss such a background as a reason to fight, it is nonetheless a valid and meaningful motivation for Ogier.
Driven by a strong desire to protect those around him, Ogier is deeply committed to self-improvement. He trains tirelessly alongside Gwendolyn, each striving to surpass the other in strength. Together, they share a relentless determination to end the war, pushing each other to become the best they can be . His bond with Lilina brings out his gentler side, as he opens up to her about his difficult past, helping her gain a deeper understanding of her people's hardships and strengthening her resolve to make Ostia a more just and compassionate place.

Ogier is essentially a significantly weaker version of Dieck due to his later join time and inferior base stats. On his join chapter, he will usually die in two hits to most enemies on Hard. He does boast somewhat higher growth rates in certain stats, particularly Speed. Ogier does start out wielding swords, which is easily the best weapon type for him to use, as not only are they accurate, but he joins directly before the Western Isles, which are very axe-heavy. This improves Ogier's survivability during that period, which means he can pick up the occasional kill or level. He has a lower Constitution than some other characters capable of using axes, but if he has reached the point where he can use them, his Speed should compensate.
Unfortunately for Ogier, he lacks much in the way to justify the trouble of leveling him. By the time he joins, the rest of the army is beginning to hit its stride, and the work of leveling him will only slow them down. He also provides no real utility or advantages compared to other characters, as a simple footlocked swordsman. Competition for Hero Crests is another issue for him; at his join time, the army has accumulated four other characters who need one, with another three joining in the following two chapters. At a time when Rutger and Dieck may be eyeing their promotions, the player has no real reason to deploy and level a unit that is much worse than them upon joining, and does not significantly outclass them when trained.

| Ostia's New Blade Ogier | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Ogier is a mercenary employed by House Ostia, the noble house that leads Elibe's Lycian League. | ||
|
Though he belongs to the heavy knights, his small frame makes him ill-suited for heavy armor—so instead, he uses his size to his advantage, supporting his allies as a light-footed swordsman! | ||
|
Apparently, Ogier became a mercenary so that he could feed his family. He came from an impoverished village, and was even separated from his sister... | ||
|
Modest to a fault, Ogier claims he's still just starting out as a swordsman. But with his earnest, hard-working personality, I think he'll go a long way with the Order of Heroes! | ||
| Closely Associated Characters | |||
| Lilina | A noble of Ostia with a natural gift for magic. Roy's friend since childhood. Ogier's employer. | ||
| Gwendolyn | Armored knight of Ostia. Intent on mastering defense, despite feeling awkward in armor. Trains together with Ogier. | ||

Etymology[]
Ogier the Dane was a legendary character who first appeared in The Song of Roland, a French medieval series of poems which the Elibe games reference often. Additionally, the word "ogier" means "stallion" in the Polish language.
Trivia[]
- On the official Japanese website for Nintendo, Ogier won 25th place out of 80 in the character popularity poll for Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. The male-female vote ratio is 2:1. The voter comments seem to generally focus on his modest, brave, and humble personality and his backstory regarding his impoverished family.
- Roland, the Hero of Lycia, was revealed to look like him and possess his title in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. The resemblance is closer to official art, however.
