He also has difficulty understanding nobles who reject their status, such as Marianne, which causes him to overstep her boundaries. They frequently argue over this, but they do have a begrudging respect for each other.įerdinand is also somewhat vain and oblivious, a trait that makes Linhardt's veiled insults go right over his head in their support chain, taking them as earnest praise. This brings him into conflict with Hubert, who believes that Edelgard's will is absolute and that the ends justify the means no matter how unethical. Rather than take umbrage with her scorn, he instead works hard to decipher why she is hostile toward him and to improve their understanding of each other while remaining respectful to her.įerdinand, as the future Prime Minister, believes that the best thing he can do as one of Edelgard's advisers is to speak frank advice when he believes Edelgard could choose a better course of action, and challenge her to improve herself. This is particularly demonstrated in his support conversations with Dorothea, who, due to her own past hostile experiences with the noble class, is quick to judge Ferdinand as being no better. In situations where others take issue with Ferdinand's regard for his own lofty status, he is quick to assess himself and works to understand what he had done wrong, always striving to improve. However, as while he will readily admit his father is greedy and arrogant and deserved to die, he's also conflicted with Edelgard imprisoning him after she becomes empress and mourns his death. In one of his conversations with Lorenz, he believes that they should cross the threshold and see life from a commoner's perspective, as many nobles and commoners have distorted views of one another. He does not have a high opinion on his father although he values the hard work he does as Prime Minister (even stating that it was a shame he was stripped of his title), he does not agree with his father's views, finding it to be disgraceful, revealing to Edelgard in Three Hopes that he idolized his father as a child until he discovered his corrupt nature.
While saddened at this, he does not let it discourage him and wishes to continue improving for his own sake. Over time, however, Ferdinand comes to accept that Edelgard is and always will be better no matter how much effort he applies. He strives to be Edelgard's better, as he believes that will prove his worth as a capable prime minister to assist her in her rule as Emperor. He is fiercely competitive, in particular with Edelgard. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"įerdinand is a confident and proud noble that hates losing. Should he face Hubert in battle during Enbarr, he states that she must leave, and those are his orders. If recruited, Ferdinand will assist Byleth in taking down the Empire, as Edelgard has stripped House Aegir of everything following Ludwig's house arrest. Ferdinand then asks her to defend the bridge until her last breath as he dies from his wounds. If he falls first, then he asks Ladislava to retreat and send a messenger to Edelgard, though she tells him she had and that she did not want to leave him behind. If Ladislava falls first, Ferdinand will take her place and continue to defend the bridge for his country. Both he and Ladislava will die in battle. Ferdinand replies back saying he must now kill her and says that he is sorry.
Due to the map being daylight, Constance will say that it was inevitable and that she was sorry that this is where it lead to and that they all do what they must. If Constance battles him, he will express sorrow at the fact after all the years they knew each other they now have to fight each other, saying it was a tragic conclusion to their story. In responce, Ferdinand says that he no time to explain and he wishes she could understand. If Dorothea fights him, she will tell him that he opposed Edelgard for so long and that she had hopes for him, and now that he is following her she questions if it was his duty to follow the master when say to heel. If he battles Byleth, he will tell Byleth that Edelgard was obsessed with them, he was envious, and that he would have to impress Edelgard with his skills on the frontlines. If the Golden Deer or Blue Lions route is chosen, and he was not recruited into Byleth's class during the academy phase, he is slain while defending the Great Bridge of Myrddin with Ladislava. He is very proud of his family's status as high-class nobility, but clashes with his father about what nobility actually is and means. When he was 9 years old, his father, Ludwig, seized power in the Insurrection of the Seven, rendering Emperor Ionius IX politically impotent. 7 Choose Your Legends Placement Historyįerdinand is the eldest son and heir of House Aegir, which has held the office of the prime minister of the Adrestian Empire for centuries.3.1.2.3 The Great Bridge Coup (Azure Moon & Verdant Wind).
