When I was playing Elden Ring, I often considered altering my armour so it would be a bit lighter for my equipment load. However, this almost always meant losing the cape. I could not ever bear to lose the cape.

Could someone give me the basics, who is marth, what’s his story within the FEniverse, and why did he show up in the FE engage trailer I watched last year?

Marth is the protagonist of Shadow Dragon And the Blade of Light for the Nintendo Family Computer, Mystery of the Emblem for the Super Famicom (which is the original game with less chapters with a new full length campaign on top of that) and it’s remakes, which makes about four games he’s been in and why he gets top billing for spin-offs.

Marth is a cool stand ghost in Fire Emblem Engage that gives you super powers and a sentai transformation on top of that, along with most of the other protagonists of the series, but since he’s the OG he has the most presence.

main character of the first fe game, its sequel, and their respective remakes.

fe1 takes place on the continent of archanea. in the beginning there were good dragons of various elements - earth, fire, water, light (also known as divine), and darkness - but dragons just live forever with no aging and no natural death, so they were all starting to go insane. the leader of the light dragons, and all dragons, Naga, created dragonstones, which sealed the dragons power into them and turned them into basically long lived but not immortal humans. most of the dragons sealed their powers away within their respective dragon stones, but all of the earth dragons save their prince, medeus, refused. medeus aided the other dragon tribes in putting down the earth dragon tribe and sealing them away, and he watched over his sealed people as their guardian. the earth dragons were sealed away using a magic item called the fire emblem, which had a magical orb of each element embedded into it.

with this done, the dragons went into hiding, and humanity took over as the dominant race of the continent. during this time, the fire emblem was stolen from under Medeus's watch by a man named adrah, who sold the orbs as gemstones in order to fund the creation of a vast kingdom, archanea. enraged by this, and humanity's oppression of the weakened dragon race (now known as manaketes), medeus gathered a variety of manaketes and formed the dolhr empire, set on conquering the world and making dragons the dominant species once again. the nations of the world banded together, and they were able to eke out small victories, but no human had even been able to land a scratch on Medeus when he joined the battles directly. but at the pivotal battle, a hero named Anri stepped forth from nowhere, wielding the magic sword, Falchion, forged from one of Naga's teeth and granted to him by the light dragon Gotoh, as well as the Fire Emblem, which he had personally journeyed across the world to gather the orbs of and restore its full power.

Anri defeated Medeus using these magical artifacts, and sealed him away with his Earth Dragon brethren. Afterwards, he founded the kingdom of Altea. In addition, Gotoh founded the country of Khadein, a magical kingdom in the desert, to watch over humanity directly. Archanea also still existed. There's some other countries but they aren't important. Dolhr obviously doesn't exist anymore at this point. Gotoh took the Fire Emblem's orbs to Khadein, and the kingdom of Archanea took the Fire Emblem itself.

Time passed, and Gotoh gained a pupil, the sage Gharnef. However, he refused to pass on the deepest secrets of Dragon Magic to Gharnef, recognizing that no human should have that much power. Enraged by this, Gharnef stole the dark sphere of the fire emblem from Gotoh's safekeeping, and used its power to revive Medeus in the form of a twisted dark dragon. Reforming the Dolhr empire, Gharnef and Medeus once more waged war on humanity, setting their sights first on Altea, the kingdom of the man that had defeated Medeus in the first place.

Cornelius, the king of Altea, took Falchion and led an army to meet Medeus, Gharnef, and their forces, but as the battle began they were betrayed by their ally, the minor country of Gra. Gra, always jealous over the difference in military strength and economic prosperity between it and Altea, had seized the chance to take them out. Medeus was glad to welcome them into the fold after, and the two forces marched on Altea directly.

Marth, the young prince of Altea, is teleported out of the castle as its besieged by his older sister Elice.

then he goes on a big adventure where he has to find the falchion again (Gharnef stole it after Cornelius was killed), meet up with Gotoh to get magic advice, and meet up with Archanea's princess, Nyna, to get the fire emblem. With all three magic macguffins in hand, he defeated Medeus and sealed him once more. You'll notice that this game has a lot of backstory but not a ton of plot. That is because it's an NES game so the manual was just a 25 page loredump and then the game has dialog like



and then in the sequel Marth's best friend forever Hardin becomes king of Archanea but also becomes evil and this time he tries to revive Medeus instead. Also Gharnef is back again. spoilers marth uses the fire emblem and the falchion to kill them.

Dragons are a metaphor for old wealth losing sight of what it means to work or earn or fight to survive, while stealing from others in a mad endless quest for more treasure to hoard at any cost
