Gregor (FE)

Gregor is a character from the Fire Emblem Awakening games.

Gregor is a mercenary who wanders between nations. It is revealed in his support with Lon'qu that he once competed with Basilio to become the West-Khan of Ferox, but lost against him.

In the AWA fics, Gregor is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Gregor is a middle-aged man with a small spiky red hair and green eyes. He wears a dark-brown uniform jacket with a green strap belt around his chest, a brown arm-length fingerless gloves with a circular plate on his left shoulder, dark brown pants with silver-colored shin guards, and brown boots.

Personality
He has a friendly and refreshing personality, though he has an unusual accent and speech patterns. Despite his mature appearance, he is surprisingly easy to hurt, getting depressed whenever people harp on him about his age. He speaks in third person with a Russian accent in the English version. Gregor's age blesses him with fighting skills that impress even Lon'qu.

Despite his looks and behavior, Gregor is quite wise, knowing how old Nowi actually is and seeing beyond her youthful facade, having knowledge of health and diseases, and giving advice to other members in the army.

Gregor's supports with various characters suggest that a darker and more depressing side to the character lies underneath the carefree and aloof personality. In his support with Cherche, Gregor reveals that his parents were killed by bandits; even though they were hard on him, they were all he had. In addition, he was put through strict training as a child (he was forced to stay in a tree by his father for three days). In his supports with Tharja he reveals that he also holds guilt for playing an unintentional part in his older brother's death, as he made a careless mistake during combat that killed him; as such, he took his brother's name (Gregor) as his own. His supports with Maribelle also show that he breaks the rules constantly, though he continually tries his best not to under her watch.

Despite being a career mercenary, Gregor does demonstrate a moral code, as he saved a baby Minerva from being killed by his clients. Among the army, he is the slowest to feel muscular pain. His birthday is January 27.

Abilities
Gregor is a strong physical unit, complete with high HP, Strength and Skill, while lacking in Luck and Resistance, with mediocre Speed. His strengths are further complemented with the Patience skill, which boosts his Hit and Avoid when attacked. The other skill that Gregor learns as a Mercenary, Armsthrift, is of little use due to the fact that both his base Luck and his growth rate in this stat are rather low. This can, however, be partially remedied by giving him a Goddess Icon, or giving him more opportunities to level up through the generous usage of the Second Seal.

When Gregor promotes to a Hero, his high Skill allows him to effectively harness the Sol skill, restoring any HP lost when he is damaged. Further amplifying his usefulness as a Hero is his ability to defeat axe-wielders with the aid of the Axebreaker skill.

On the other hand, as a Bow Knight, Gregor gains the ability to wield Bows, which may not be of much use to him. In this class, he can learn the Rally Skill skill to boost the Skill of adjacent allies. He will also learn the Bowbreaker skill, which will aid him in fending off Bow-wielding units. Should Gregor remain in the Mercenary class line, he will prove to be a strong Fighter-like sword-user who is proficient in defending himself.

Trivia

 * Gregor's official artwork depicts him with a sheathed Steel Sword.
 * Gregor shares his Japanese voice actor, Kenji Hamada, with fellow Awakening character Yen'fay and Fatescharacters Azama and Nichol.
 * In one of Gregor's supports with Lon'qu, he mentions that "knowing is half the battle," an obvious reference to GI Joe.
 * In Gregor's C support with Noire (if she is his daughter), in response to hearing that Tharja cursed her with a runny nose, states "What a horrible night to have curse, yes?", referencing Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
 * A very interesting error in Gregor's supports is, that he can understand Minerva in his supports with Cherche, but because the supports that fathers share with their child are generic and only differ between the fathers lines, he winds up not having this ability during his Father-Son supports with Gerome.
 * One of Gregor's Critical lines—"Gregor Smash!"—is likely an allusion to The Incredible Hulk.
 * A set of map sprites featuring Gregor as a Fighter exists within the game data, although they are unused in the main game itself.
