The Nightcrawlers

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is due for release on July 26, 2019. Ahead of its launch, Nintendo gave us a glimpse of the game’s antagonists known as the Nightcrawlers.

The Nightcrawlers are mysterious individuals who work in the shadows as war begins anew in Fodlan. They have an imposing presence and are likely formidable enemies. While their true motives have yet to be revealed, they are said to be connected with a “fell stone” of untold power.

Flame Emperor

One of two Nightcrawlers first revealed by Nintendo, the other being the Grim Reaper Knight. The player’s character Byleth was said to have foiled one of the Flame Emperor’s plans against the Church of Seiros. The mysterious figure has kept a close watch on the hero since.

While the Flame Emperor’s identity is unknown, their origin could be traced back to the Adrestian Empire. This is supported by the character’s “emperor” title and their outfit representing the faction’s main colors. The Flame Emperor also wields an ax, a weapon used by Edelgard and many soldiers of the empire.

No one knows who the Grim Reaper Knight really is. It is worth noting that the character’s armor features multiple spikes, similar to Nemesis, the Liberation King. This may imply a connection between the two. The Grim Reaper Knight wields a scythe in battle fitting for his namesake.

Cronje

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Cronje

Another of Thales’ followers. Cronje is described as a brutal warrior with a child-like personality. She likely serves her master as an assassin. A figure who appears to be Cronje was seen being strangled by a much larger figure. This is implied to be Thales punishing Cronje for her incompetence.

Cronje has wavy orange hair and pale skin. Her left eye is red and lined with a black vertical mark. She also sports long black earrings on both ears. Cronje’s attire is a tight fitting black suit with orange and grey linings. Her outfit forms spikes on the sides, exposing her shoulders. Cronje also seems to have a sharp tail that could be used in combat. Cronje wields a dagger as her weapon of choice. This suggests her role as an assassin and spy in the Nightcrawlers.
