Darios

Darios (ダリオス, Darius) is an original non-playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors.

Role in Game
Darios is the one who taught Rowan how to fight and Lianna in academic arts.

At the beginning, he spars with Rowan and beats him just as the Gates of the Other World open without warning. He teams with Rowan and Lianna to fight the monsters. While escaping with the Aytolis royal family, Yelena is separated giving the Shield of Flames to her children. As a result of this, Darios stays with the two as a mentor to find the other heroes. When Gristonne army led by Validar attacking the Ylisse and the Aytolis army at Aytolis’ dragon temple, Darios becomes deluded of his father’s betrayal and begin to cast away his loyalty from his former home kingdom. Once gathering more allies from two worlds (from Ylisse (future Archanea) and both Hoshido and Nohr (Fates timeline)), along with retrieving their respective Gleamstones into the Shield of Flames, Darios reveals to his other worldly allies about his origin being a Gristonne Kingdom’s heir and admittedly wants to take responsibility for his father’s crime for his betrayal once he and his allies overthrown him.

What the heroes don't realize until later when they are separated from Darios during the attack on his own kingdom Gristonne, Darios is being ambushed and captured alone, thus ended up being possessed by the Outrealm’s current ruler Velezark from behind, revealing the Chaos Dragon has been working with his father, Oskar to get Darios back by force while Velezark uses his body as his own and use the Shield of Flames for their own personal use. Once Marth unleashes the final Gleamstone to complete the Shield of Flames, Velezark-possessed Darios reveal his true color and stole the shield from them. While remained being possessed by Velezark, Darios tricks the twins to put down their swords to save Yelena and attempts to sacrifice her for a rebirth of Velezark's full physical power anyway, but Takumi predicts this might happen and saves the queen's life. However, the possessed Darius kills his own father to perform the ritual. Shortly during a battle against the heroes, Darios' normal-self began to fight Velezark from the inside for the heroes to defeat him quickly. Darios reveals his allies that he had been suffering an inferiority complex for being “weak”, causing Velezark to possess him easily.

Once the twins beat him to his senses, Darios begs his pupils to kill him before Velezark emerged from his body, but was too late. The twins try to think of another way, just as Velezark finally emerged from Darius' body and about impale them, but Darios sacrifice his life to save the two. Before dying, Darios throws his pupils the Shield of Flames as he falls into the abyss.
