Sumeragi (スメラギ) is a character from Fire Emblem Fates. He is voiced by Taketora in the Japanese version.
Profile
Sumeragi is the deceased king of Hoshido. He is father of Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura through his first wife Ikona, and the stepfather of the Avatar by marrying Mikoto.
Prior to the events of Fates, Garon called Sumeragi to Cheve to discuss negotiation terms due to the war between Hoshido and Nohr. Sumeragi took the Avatar with them, believing that Garon was willing to end the war. When he arrived, Garon revealed to him that it was a trap and ordered his soldiers to attack them. Sumeragi sacrificed himself so that the Avatar would be protected from the barrage of arrows. Sometime after his death, Anankos revived him as his puppet.
Personality
According to Fuga, he was a prankster as a child and a huge brawler as a teenager/young adult, only growing into his reasonable authority figure around the time he married his first wife. All in all, he truly cares for his children, attempting to prevent the young Avatar's death at the cost of his life. When he's defeated in Revelation and comes back to normal he compliments their strength and says that he believes they can beat Anankos.
Like Garon, he was apparently quite amorous, but in different ways, hanging out in the Hoshidan Red Light Districts as a prince (according to the original JPN version) and falling in love with Mikoto at first sight.

Trivia
- According to Hinoka's supports with the Avatar, Mikoto showed up one day with "a newborn baby"—the Avatar—and married Sumeragi. Problem is, Takumi and Sakura are younger than the Avatar—they couldn't have been born yet, meaning their real mother, Queen Ikona, was still alive at the time. It's very easily explained by how up until the Meiji era, noblemen were able to have an official wife *and* concubines at the same time, and being a concubine for The Emperor or the shogun was considered a huge honor for noblewomen. If such things apply to Hoshido as well, then Mikoto probably was Sumeragi's concubine and maybe one of his advisers first, officially married him after Ikona's death
