| ~ Metodey |
Metodey (メトジェイ, Metojei) is a minor antagonist in Nintendo's 2019 tactical video game Fire Emblem: Three Houses and its 2022 spin-off sequel Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.
A soldier of the Adrestian Empire, he appears as a boss in Chapter 11 of the main game and Chapter 5 of the DLC sub-story, "Cindered Shadows". A vicious and insane sadist, his cruelty is matched only by his greed.
Hewas voiced by Takahiro Miwa in Japanese and Todd Haberkorn in English (who also voices Assassin, E.N.D., and Nobuyuki Sugou).
Biography[]
Little is known about Metodey's background. He is first encountered in the Holy Tomb at Garreg Mach Monastery, leading a group of soldiers alongside the Flame Emperor in an attempt to steal Crest stones and Nabatean remains. He threatens Byleth, Rhea, and the other students present, demanding that they allow the Adrestian Empire to plunder the Holy Tomb. If he survives the battle, his fate is unknown.
In Cindered Shadows, he is hired by an unspecified employer to kidnap Aelfric, a Cardinal of the Church of Seiros, and hold him hostage in exchange for the Chalice of Beginnings. When the Ashen Wolves arrive the plan goes awry, however, as he and his forces are attacked by the students as well as demonic beasts. Metodey flees once defeated, claiming that his employer pays him more than the chalice is worth.
In both Scarlet Blazes and Golden Wildfire, Metodey, along with Pallardó Davino, joined forces with Those Who Slither in the Dark to start a riot in both Ordelia and Hyrm territory, killing large amounts of people and stealing their valuables. After putting down the riots, the player's allied army fight against Metody and Pallardó's forces, with Solon leaving the two behind to perish.
In Azure Gleam, Metodey, alongside Myson, were tasked to kill innocent civilians. One of the mercenaries that Metodey hired, Balthus, didn't want to kill innocents, so he ended up backing out of their plots= When Metodey heard this, he ordered Balthus to be killed for it. When many civilians evacuate the city, Metodey decided to go after them himself, where he would die by the hands of the Kingdom Army.
Personality[]
Metodey is a sadist who enjoys tormenting others. In his battle dialogue he looks forward to killing (and perhaps cooking) his opponent, but as cruel as he is, he's also quite the coward as he is quick to beg for his life when defeated. On one occasion he says that he doesn't mind being on the receiving end of pain, implying a possible masochistic streak along with his sadism. Other characters know him for his cruelty and unsettling laughter, with an NPC in Cindered Shadows commenting that he would slaughter an entire town if it benefited him.
Although he is loyal to the Empire he seems to accept freelance work on the side, perhaps due to greed. Despite his allegiance he will fight Edelgard if she is present, though with none of his usual bravado.

Trivia[]
- Metodey is one of the few named NPC enemy generals who can be spared on all routes, as he retreats from battle in Cindered Shadows and killing him is not part of the victory conditions during chapter 11.
- Metodey's character model is a unique variation of the assassin class.
- It is implied that Metodey is literate, as he sends a ransom letter in the DLC. This is notable in a medieval-based setting such as Fire Emblem.
- In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Metodey makes comments on how he should cook his enemies and dressing them up with spices, implying that he is a cannibal.
