Character from Fire Emblem by Intelligent Systems / Nintendo
The leader of Those Who Slither in the Dark — an ancient Agarthan who hides behind stolen faces and has spent centuries dismantling Seiros's world from the inside.
Thales leads the Agarthans — the remnants of an advanced civilization that warred with the Nabateans millennia ago and lost. He and his people have been infiltrating Fódlan's institutions ever since, replacing key figures with shape-shifted agents, manipulating conflicts, and working toward the destruction of the Church and the Nabateans. He is patient, ruthless, and views humans and Nabateans alike as obstacles. He allied with Edelgard because her war serves his goals, but he has no loyalty to her — she's a tool, like everyone else. His javelins of light (orbital bombardment from Agarthan technology) are the game's most devastating weapons.
In his true form, pale and gaunt with dark markings and the inhuman features of the Agarthans. He typically appears as Arundel — a portly nobleman — hiding in plain sight within the Empire's court. His true appearance is rarely seen.
Also known as: Thales, Arundel, The Leader
