Laurent is a character from the Fire Emblem Awakening game.

Miriel's son from the future. He's a model student, smart and serious, but is easily influenced by those surrounding him. Because he has a good eye for detail, he's able to solve issues with ease. He's infamous for his shining glasses.

Appearance
Laurent has a short red hair, has red eyes and wears glasses. He wears a black mantle with yellow trimmings over a black tight shirt and robes with a white chest collar underneath a black cape, gray & dark-blue baggy pants and black boots. He also wears a black witch hat.

Personality
Laurent can be a bit cold and callous, much like his mother, as he inherited his mother's incredible academic prowess. While Miriel's scientific inquiries are focused in theory and discovering natural laws, Laurent tends to find practical applications for the subjects he studies, such as making the world's first fireworks in a support conversation with Miriel.

In addition, he oversees the Shepherd's treasury, having a strict stance on the budget and purchasing items that are needed. Laurent often checks on the well-being of others, and will help them in any way possible if he needs to step in. However, sometimes he wonders if his advice actually helps, as he occasionally doubts that it may be just "inflated" ego and that the people he talks to have better ability than him.

Due to arriving earlier than the other children, he believes that he is no longer a child and must act like a responsible adult.

Compared to the other Shepherds - specifically, the Shepherds who regularly wear glasses - Laurent's glasses give off the "worst lens glare".

Abilities
As a Mage, Laurent wields offensive magic and his observatory skills are considered to be one of his finest talents.

Trivia

 * Laurent's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade was first released in Japan.
 * Laurent shares his English voice actor, Patrick Seitz, with Basilio, Zeke, Hector, Draug, Garon, Brady, and Jeritza.
 * His artwork shows him wielding a Tome, most likely a fire-based tome.
 * Despite that, the tome Laurent carries in his Paralogue is Elwind, a wind-based tome.
 * His map sprite as a Mage shows Laurent adjusting his glasses.
 * In his S-rank support with Severa, she asks if he can guess what she wants, to which he asks her if it is some kind of riddle and replies, "are you going to ask me (Laurent) what you have in your (Severa) pocket next?" This is possibly a reference to the riddle contest between Gollum and Bilbo in 'The Hobbit.'
 * He is the only Unit in Awakening that is recruited from a village.
 * As his birthday is The Blazing Blade 's release date, this may be a reference to units like Canas, who would be recruited only by visiting a village.

 * As a Mage, he wears black and red robes and has a black hat.
 * As a Sage, he wears black and grey robes.
 * After defeating an enemy, all of Laurent's classes use the same victory animation, even though all classes have their own unique victory pose.
