Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd is one of the three deuteragonists (alongside Edelgard von Hresvelg and Claude von Riegan) within the Fódlan Saga of Nintendo's Fire Emblem franchise.
He is the prince turned eventual king of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the house leader of the Blue Lions House. While he comes across as a charming and polite noble prince, he has a violet urge of darkness inside him due to experiencing a tragedy that took a toll on his psyche and seeks vengeance on the people responsible for his tragedy. He is also the stepbrother of Edelgard, as well as her arch-rival.
While he starts off as one of the main heroes, Dimtri's lust for vengeance and trauma, combined to his desire to protect his kingdom at any cost and to outside influence, leads him to become one of the game's antagonists should he be opposed. In both games, should the player side with Edelgard, he will serve as the anti-heroic secondary antagonist of the Empire routes, as well as the secondary antagonist of the second half of the Golden Wildfire route in Three Hopes.
He is voiced by Chris Hackney, who also voices Sirius Deek in I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags, in English. In the Japanese version, Mai Nishikawa voices him as a child and Kaito Ishikawa voices him as an adult.
Appearance[]
Dimitri is a tall man who has light blue eyes and blonde hair. During the Academy Phase, Dimtri has short hair and wears a black uniform with golden accents and a blue cape, which serves as the color of his house. He also wears dark grey gauntlets and matching boots.
In Three Houses, Dimitri wears a black suit of armor with a blue scar on the chestplate, a pair of black boots with black and white fur, and a blue cape with white fur during the War Phase. Excluding the Crimson Flower route, Dimitri wears a black eyepatch over his right eye. He also has a dark circle under his left eye, depicting his hatred and thirst for revenge.
In Three Hopes, he wears a metallic blue suit of armor with golden accents, a black and blue cape with a blue fur collar and a blue and white belt during the War Phase.
Personality[]
Dimitri is a sincere young man who seems like the embodiment of chivalry, but a shade of darkness lies beneath his cheerful demeanor. Despite being a royal, he dislikes formality and pretentious people, preferring his allies to be frank.
Dimitri has a strange sense of humor, which is evident by his fondness for Alois's corny jokes. By his own admission, he finds them humorous precisely because they are terrible. He enjoys combat training, weapon repair, and long rides but dislikes fragile objects and delicate work as he is unable to control his prodigious strength. Despite this, he is agile and became a capable dancer under Edelgard's tutelage. Like Edelgard, he is uncomfortable with scorching heat.
Dimitri suffers from ageusia and survivor's guilt as a result of the slaughter in the Tragedy of Duscur. The former leaves him as the only person able to stomach Flayn's food and the latter causes him to see apparitions of the dead. The latter also makes him get close with Marianne, who bears a similar burden as he does. He is close to Dedue and admits that being able to save someone gave him a reason to live. He also dismisses the Crest system and noblesse oblige as excuses used by the aristocracy to oppress the weak. While disdainful of the status quo, he believes that overthrowing the prevailing social order would be more detrimental; instead preferring to reform society through a war of position, by gaining control of corrupt institutions and purging them from within.
Near the end of his academic year in the Blue Lions route, Dimitri develops an obsessive hatred of Edelgard after discovering she is the Flame Emperor and is determined to kill her personally. The series of tragedies that follow Edelgard's revelation and declaration of war takes a heavy toll on his psyche. By the time he reunites with Byleth, Dimitri has already lost any semblance of happiness and composure he had as a student, becoming brooding, cynical, and ruthless. When reunited with his former classmates, he is brusque and coldly dismisses them as mere tools to exact his revenge. Dimitri's five years of isolation have also exacerbated his survivor's guilt. He openly converses with apparitions of his deceased parents and Glenn, promising to appease them with Edelgard's death. His indignation blinds him to the needs of others and he demonstrates a reckless disregard for his own well-being.
Dimitri is unable to justify killing for one's ideals, and so he rejects the notion of taking up arms for a higher cause as sophistry. Thus, he dehumanizes all killers as monsters and is not above maiming and torturing his captive foes. This disdain extends to himself, as shown by his willingness to be wounded and disfigured by his enemies. However, he is oddly sympathetic to those who are also motivated by revenge, and was willing to die by Fleche's hands as atonement for her brother's death.
Byleth's influence determines Dimitri's fate. In the routes where Byleth does not instruct him, Dimitri will die consumed by vengeance or peacefully in the Crimson Flower route if Dedue is defeated before he transforms into a demonic beast. If he is Byleth's chosen house leader, his obsession with appeasing the dead fades after Rodrigue sacrifices himself to thwart Fleche's assassination attempt. This event restores Dimitri's sanity and he resolves to fight for his beliefs together with his allies, unburdened by the ghosts of his past. Reflecting on his exile, Dimitri would later confess to Byleth that experiencing abject poverty while living in the slums deeply affected him. The plight of the poor inspired him to change Fódlan from the ground up. Though unsure of his fitness to be king, the people's support upon liberating Fhirdiad bolsters his desire to serve them. After the war, Dimitri becomes a benevolent king beloved by the masses for his societal reforms and participatory form of government.
