Hector (Fire Emblem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hector (ヘクトル Hekutoru) is a fictional character in the popular video game Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, the first Fire Emblem game to be released in the U.S.
He is a handsome young lord who is a good friend of Eliwood. He helps Eliwood with his quest to find his father. His parents died of natural causes, and his older brother, Uther, is the current lord of Ostia. It is also revealed in Fuuin no Tsurugi that he has a half-brother. Equipped with an axe, this bold, reckless, and valiant axe fighter sets out on an adventure to help his friend in search of his father Elbert, along with a few Ostian colleagues, and the beloved princess of Caelin, Lyndis. Behind the scenes, however, there is terrible news concerning his brother Uther...
Hector eventually acquires the legendary axe Armads (Almace), used by the legendary Durban who also refers to himself by his axe's name.
Hector also appears in Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals, but eventually he dies from injuries caused by King Zephiel. However, his daughter, the Mage Lilina, is one of the playable characters in the game. Hector himself is unlockable in Trial Maps after finishing the game several times, with the General class specializing in axes. However, he is nowhere as good as his young self in Rekka no Ken (as opposed to Eliwood, who wasn't as strong in Rekka no Ken, but is regarded better than Hector in Fuuin no Tsurugi).
If he gets an A support with either the Lord Lyn or the Pegasus Knight Sisters Florina and/or Farina, one of them will marry him and become the mother of Lilina.
Hector's forte lies in physical strength and durability. As an axe fighter, he is able to deal heavy amounts of damage, and his defense rating makes him able to take an immense amount of punishment. Surprisingly, he is also quite fast for an armoured unit. He is also not as lucky as the other two lords, but this is often insignificant due to his toughness. He can be vulnerable to magical attack, however. Hector's defense is further increased by 5 points when equipped with the Legendary Axe of Lightning, Armads. Hector is the only unit able to use the Armads so it is well advised you use him throughout the course of the game. The Armads is especially strong against these units:
Fire Dragon
Wyvern Rider
Wyvern Lord
Hector is counted as one of the strongest Lords of Fire Emblem, alongside Sigurd from Genealogy of Holy War, Ephraim from The Sacred Stones and Ike from Path of Radiance.
