“Most fools assume that liars and sneaks like me are weak. They want us to be weak, see? They NEED it. It lets them hold on to the fantasy that right prevails in the end. Heh... They can think what they want. A cocky fool is an easy target. Truth is, in the end, it's the clever ones who always survive.”

Cassius ( カチディス Kachidisu, Katsidis in the Japanese version) is an enemy boss character from Fire Emblem Awakening.
Cassius is introduced in A Duel Disgraced, where he challenged Kjelle's master to a duel. Kjelle's master had the upper hand on the fight, until Cassius took a nearby girl hostage, causing him to drop his weapon. As soon as he did that, Cassius killed him and Kjelle, seeking vengeance, wanted to duel him up north in the Dueling Grounds, which she accepts. However, just like with her master, Cassius goes back on his word and calls his men hiding in the building to help him out.
He shares his portrait with Nelson.

Vs. Kjelle
- Kjelle: If you believe in any gods, you'd better pray to them now!
- Cassius: My, my. Aren't we confident?
- Kjelle: I don't fear you, coward!
- Cassius: Aye, I suppose not. Most fools assume that liars and sneaks like me are weak. They want us to be weak, see? They NEED it. It lets them hold on to the fantasy that right prevails in the end. Heh... They can think what they want. A cocky fool is an easy target. Truth is, in the end, it's the clever ones who always survive.
- Kjelle: A man who takes hostages in order to win a duel has no claim to cleverness. Even an animal would not stoop so low! But enough, I've no more words to waste on the likes of you. My master will have vengeance!
- Cassius: Wrong, girl. Your master will have COMPANY!
