“It will be as you say, Lady Sonia. Anything for you.”
— Ursula

Ursula is an enemy character in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken who works for Sonia, and later, morph created by Nergal.

History

It is speculated that Ursula was one of the original members of the Black Fang, her being one of the legendary Four Fangs and also the only Four Fang specializing in magic. She is known as the Blue Crow amongst the Black Fang members. She is seen to be extremely loyal to the founder of the Black Fang, Brendan Reed, and also shows complete devotion to his wife, Sonia, oblivious to the fact that Sonia was manipulating the Black Fang for her master, Nergal. She is first seen in chapter 7x of Lyn's story, where she assigned a Black Fang operative, Beyard, to recapture the children, Ninian and Nils, for at the time reasons unknown. She is not seen again until the chapter Four Fanged Offense, where the Four Fangs are assigned to kill the lords Eliwood, Hector, and Lyndis. The Four Fangs were tricked into thinking that the three lords were corrupt nobles and had to be stopped. Later, Ursula is seen in another chapter, handing you a Hammerne staff because, despite her orders to kill the lords, she did not want Vaida to succeed. She is seen again in the chapter Battle Before Dawn, where she witnesses Jaffar attempting to escape after abandoning his assignment to kill Prince Zephiel for King Desmond, and Nino for Sonia. Ursula then took it upon herself to execute the law of the Fang and kill the two traitors, in addition to completing the assasination of Zephiel. Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn arrive at the same time, and Ursula battles both groups. Ursula ultimately fails, either dying in the battle or, if she survives the battle, is killed by Limstella for failing in her duties. Her quintessence was harvested by Limstella for Nergal. She is seen one last time in Light, as a morph created by Nergal's magic. She wields the powerful tome Excalibur, which the player recieves upon her defeat.

Personality

Ursula is an extremely devoted member of the Black Fang, seen as a cold, heartless assassin to her targets. She never hesitates to (coldly) remind those under her the punishment for failure, and she expresses little concern for any members of the Black Fang, with the exception of Sonia, whom she worships. She is also honorable, accepting the Fang's Judgment for failing to accomplish her target should she survive Battle Before Dawn. She also expresses deep dislike of Vaida, most likely because of her treachery toward Bern.

In-Game

Ursula is the third of the Four Fangs encountered in a chapter, and the second faced as a boss (excluding Jaffar). Despite being a Valkyrie, Ursula has well-rounded stats and is skilled in anima magic, expressed when facing her with Bolting and Elfire. She returns as a morph in the final chapter, with increased stats and the spellbook Excalibur.

-In chapter 24 (of Eliwood's route, chapter 26 Hector's Route), you can see her in a village at the bottom of the map and she will give you a Hammerne.
