Explain to me why I should care for someone so clearly worthless. Sisters be damned. If the Askrans dispose of her, that's one less piece of trash I need to deal with myself. Perhaps I should thank them for saving me the time and effort, hm?
— Fáfnir, to Ótr

Fáfnir (Japanese: ファフニール Fafnir) is a major antagonist of Book V of Fire Emblem Heroes. Originally a kind-hearted young man after being summoned from another world and ascending the throne in Niðavellir, he was corrupted by Eitri and now seeks to conquer the kingdom of Askr.

Yikes! What's Fáfnir doing here?! You know, Fáfnir, the king of Niðavellir! Wait… I thought he was here to invade Askr, but…is he actually here to celebrate the New Year? Well then! I guess Fáfnir's here to show us how a king wears a kimono. I have to say, he's really demonstrating the charisma that helped him put Niðavellir back together! To go with his seasonal outfit, he's carrying a camellia flower. Camellias are seen as a symbol of good luck, and they're associated with prosperity! That envelope he's holding must mean that Fáfnir is giving out New Year's gifts! Well, thank you very much! I sure hope we can get along with everyone in Niðavellir this year!
