Revision as of 16:39, 28 November 2015

Iago (マクベス Makubesu, Macbeth in the Japanese version) is a non-playable character and the secondary antagonist in Fire Emblem: Fates on both routes. He is voiced by Akinori Egoshi in the Japanese version.

Profile

Nohr’s tactician, Iago is almost a shadow of Garon. He always agrees with the King and does not like to disappoint. He excels at witchcraft, and enjoys using tactics that involve foul-play and behind-the-scene manipulation.

Birthright

Iago first appears in chapter 8, leading the Hoshido army into a trap against the Wind tribe. Later on, it is revealed that he was the one that brainwashed Takumi in chapter 10, and goes so far as to injure him. On their way to get medicine for Takumi in a nearby building, Iago blocks the way and threatens the Avatar and their allies by using tomes to lightly set Flora on fire. Later on, inside Nohr's castle, Iago brainwashes Takumi, but he breaks out of it, to his shock. Iago and a group of Nohrian soldiers fight the Avatar and the Hoshidan forces, Iago loses and is executed by Leo afterwards, who claims that true soldiers of Nohr die when they lose in battle.

Conquest

Iago oversees Nohr's invasion of Hoshido, accompanying Garon when needed.

In Chapter 25, inside the Hoshidan Palace, Iago appears and talks to the Avatar, reminding them of what they need to do, to their discontent. Although Xander wants to help the Avatar out, Iago tells him that he still has a task to do and leaves with Garon. In Chapter 26, Iago appears with Ganz and wants the Avatar killed, but their siblings protect them from him. As a result, Iago and Ganz, along with some of their soldiers and Faceless attempt to kill all of them. After Iago is defeated by the party, he tries to save his own life by negotiating with them but is killed by Leo.

Revelation

In this route, Iago first appears in Chapter 9, once again leading the Avatar's army into a trap against the Wind tribe. After the Avatar discovers that there were fighting Wind Tribe members, Iago laughs sinisterly and teleports away to not give away the fact that he set up the trap.

In Chapter 14, he welcomes Xander back to Castle Krakenberg after his return from Amusia. Xander seeks audience with Garon, and Iago wonders if the Avatar was a bad influence on him. Ganz joins Iago, saying that’s impossible for the crown prince to be influenced in such a way, but Iago disagrees. They also mention about the fact that Camilla joined the Avatar's army. He warns they have to be careful and do something about the Avatar soon, not knowing that Elise is overhearing them, which causes her to join the Avatar's army.

Iago then appears as the boss of Chapter 17, trying to put a stop to the Avatar's combined forces from both the Hoshido and Nohr sides after Ganz has been killed. However, just like in the other routes, he fails and ends up dead.

Etymology

Iago is the villain of a tragic Shakespearian play, Othello, in which he masterminds the downfall of the capable and powerful Othello out of jealousy.

Macbeth is the titular character of another tragic Shakespearian play, Macbeth. In this play, Macbeth and his wife devise a plan to assassinate the king and claim the throne, marking their ruin.

Trivia

  • Iago shares his Japanese voice actor, Akinori Egoshi, with Ignis.
  • His English adapted name, Iago, was revealed in the Fire Emblem: Fates treehouse event at the Electronic Entertainment Expo before his Japanese name, Macbeth, had been disclosed.
  • Iago's outfit appears to be an enhanced and more complete version of the generic Sorcerer outfit. This, coupled with his unique trait of being able to use Staves despite his class's usual restriction to Tomes, indicates he may have more proficiency and a higher "tier" than other Sorcerers in the game.
    • Interestingly, this contrasts Zoura's scenario, wherein he's shown to wear a standard, if somewhat shabby version of the Dark Mage's outfit, even as a Sorcerer.
  • Like Zoura, Mikoto, Ganz and Garon, Iago has unused blushing portraits within the games code.
  • Iago has two different map sprite heads. One of them adorns his ornamental headdress and the other does not wear it, instead showing just his face and hair.
  • If Iago's battle model is stripped, he will lose his mask, exposing the covered side of his face.
    • It also reveals that he has a secondary strand of hair draped down his face and that his hair toward the back of his head is cropped to be a shorter length than at the front.
