| “ | I am a prince before I am a son or a brother. | ” | — Marth |
|---|
Marth (pronounced /mɑɹθ/[key][3]; Japanese: マルス Marth) is the prince of Altea, son of King Cornelius and his wife Liza, indirect descendant of the hero Anri, and inheritor of both the divine blade Falchion and the task of using it to strike down Medeus, the Shadow Dragon. Driven from his kingdom by the Dolhr Empire at the beginning of the War of Shadows, he took refuge in Talys for two years before departing to amass an army to resist and strike down the empire's grip on Archanea. Years later, he led Altea in the War of Heroes against his corrupted former friend and ally, Emperor Hardin of Archanea, and was tasked by Gotoh with ensuring the future of both humans and dragons by restoring the lost Binding Shield to prevent the return of the earth dragons of the Dragon Altar.
Through his deeds across the two wars, Marth developed a reputation as a legendary hero. He was believed by many to be destined to lead all of Archanea to salvation, as represented by his use of the legendary Fire Emblem. In time the continent of Archanea came to be united under his rule, and he became renowned throughout history as the legendary "Hero-King" of the Archanean Alliance.
Marth is the first main character of the Fire Emblem series, acting as the protagonist of four Fire Emblem titles: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem, and their Nintendo DS remakes Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem. In the years since his own games, he has appeared as an optional bonus playable character in Awakening and Fates. Outside the Fire Emblem series, Marth is a regular participant in Nintendo's crossover fighting game series, Super Smash Bros., making his debut there along with Roy in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Biography
Earlier life
In the early days of the War of Shadows, some time after King Cornelius had departed with Falchion to challenge the forces of Dolhr, Marth remained behind in Altea with his mother and Elice, committing himself to his studies; with much of the Altean army out to war under Cornelius, the defense of Altea was maintained by a Gra garrison. After Gra turned on Altea in the midst of battle, the garrison at Altea did the same, seizing the castle for Dolhr. While Elice stayed behind to buy Marth time, unknown to Marth himself, he fled the castle guided by Malledus, and gathered a small number of Altean knights to accompany him: Abel, Jagen and Frey.
On their way out, Cain returned from the battlefields of Gra to report the death of Cornelius and join Marth's group, and Marth rescued an Altean knight captured and gagged by the Gra forces, Gordin. Gra's King Jiol arrived with a wave of reinforcements, closing in on Marth's group; to ensure the escape of Marth and the others, Frey offered himself as a decoy, dressing as the prince and fleeing to the south, luring Jiol and the reinforcements away. Draug then arrived, having prepared a ship to facilitate the group's escape from Altea, and from there Marth reluctantly fled for Talys, swearing he would one day return to free his homeland and seek vengeance upon Gra and Grust.
War of Shadows
Following Altea's fall, Marth and his retinue lived in exile in Talys for the next two years, hosted in the island nation's eastern fortress by King Mostyn. When the pirates of Galder descended upon Talys to raid it, called into action by the arrival of Caeda, Marth's forces departed the fort to combat the invasion; upon its fall, on the advice of Mostyn, Marth's retinue left Talys to commence its goal to rebel against the domination of Dolhr.
The group's first destination was Aurelis, where during their liberation of the country from Macedon occupation, Marth swiftly befriended Hardin, the country's prince, and was entrusted with the Fire Emblem by Princess Nyna of Archanea, symbolising his fate as the world's chosen champion against Dolhr. From there, Marth led the army to reclaim Archanea, then proceeded on to Gra in an effort to find Falchion, said by Cain to have been taken by the country from his father's corpse. Gra fell, yet Falchion was nowhere to be found, leading Marth to reluctantly decide to detour to Khadein, on Malledus's theory that it had come into Gharnef's possession, instead of pressing on to liberate Altea.
The trip to Khadein proved fruitless, with Falchion and Gharnef still nowhere in sight, and Marth turned his sights on liberating Altea. Upon Altea's fall, Marth learned of his mother's death at the hands of Morzas and that Elice had passed into Gharnef's hands. Despite his grief at this news, and despite Nyna and Malledus suggesting he take a break, he nonetheless greeted the people of Altea, joyful at their freedom.
From there, Marth led his army in the conquest of Grust and Macedon, before being sent by Gotoh to Thabes in order to confront Gharnef. With Gharnef's death at the hands of a member of Marth's army wielding Starlight, Marth recovered Falchion and, at the top of the tower, reunited with Elice, who had been imprisoned by Gharnef for the purpose of using the Aum staff. In the closing days of the war, Marth turned his focus toward Dolhr Keep, where Medeus himself lay in wait. Engaging him in battle, wielding Falchion, Marth struck down Medeus as Anri had a century before.
At the end of the war, spurred by Nyna's urging, Marth finally confessed to Caeda his longtime affections for her, and the two became engaged.
War of Heroes
In the year following the end of the War of Shadows, Marth devoted himself to the reconstruction of Altea and had planned a date for his wedding to Caeda, only to be interrupted by a missive from Hardin, now the Emperor of Archanea. Hardin bade Marth to lead the Altean army to Grust to suppress an insurrection there, a command Marth could not disobey owing to Archanea's power over Altea. Leaving Cain in charge of Altea's defense, Marth took Jagen, Arran, Draug, Gordin, and a number of newer knights with him to address the Grustian crisis. In Grust, he met with Lang, the general of the Archanean occupying force in the region, whose malicious attitude disgusted Marth; Lang revealed the alleged rebellion was being led by Lorenz, a former ally of Marth's, which raised Marth's suspicions about the situation. Marth soon learned that Lorenz was trying to protect the Grustian heirs, Yuliya and Jubelo, from the Empire and that the uprising was in response to the harsh Archanean domination of the region. Lorenz died from wounds sustained in an earlier battle, and with his last words warned Marth of Hardin's change into a tyrannical figure.
Despite Marth's protests, Lang arrived and took the two heirs into his custody, then commanded Marth to travel to Macedon and address another rebellion there, in which a military coup had taken Marth's former ally, Princess Minerva, prisoner. Marth's army successfully subdued the coup with the aid of Catria and Palla, but failed to find Minerva as she had already been taken away by her brother, Michalis. During this battle, Marth met Julian and learned of the mysterious disappearance of Minerva's sister Maria, and of the cleric Lena. He also encountered Linde, who entrusted Marth with the Fire Emblem again on Nyna's orders, although she remained unaware of why Nyna did so. Lang's next order to Marth was to recapture Yuliya and Jubelo, who had been freed from captivity in his castle by Ogma and were on the run; Marth, however, refused point-blank to follow Lang's orders any further, and his defiance was taken as an act of war by Lang, who fled upon being challenged by Jagen. Marth's army moved to rescue Ogma and the children, adopting them into his army along with a mysterious masked knight known only to him as Sirius. At the battle's end, Caeda arrived and broke the news to Marth that Altea had fallen to an assault by the Archanean army, and that only she had escaped while Elice remained behind to hold them off.
In a bid to end the Archanean abuse of the Grustian people, Marth led an attack on Olbern Keep, Lang's domain and the Archanean headquarters in Grust. Following Lang's defeat, Marth found Wendell imprisoned in the fortress, who told him of his quest to collect the lost pieces of the Starsphere to prevent the world from falling into ruin. On Wendell's advice, Marth travelled to the Fane of Raman in a bid to find some of the shards, only to find it stripped of all its contents by a band of local marauders. Their next destination was Chiasmir, seeking to cross the bridge to avoid pursuit, only to find the entire area already under the thumb of Hardin himself, who approached Marth and announced his intent to crack down on all possible dissent against him. Marth had no choice but to escape Chiasmir by sea, taking a ship north to Khadein. Marth resolved to find a way to pierce the dark protection his army had observed surrounding Hardin, but was interrupted by an attack by Khadein's mage corps. During the battle he and Wendell found his friend Merric fighting his former classmate Arlen, who in a jealous fit toward Merric had seized control of Khadein and directed its army to attack Marth and Merric; he was also approached by Minerva, who had been tasked by Michalis with joining up with Marth to fight Hardin.
Once the crisis had been settled, he was contacted through magic by Gotoh, who told him of Hardin's fall to the Darksphere and requested he travel to the Ice Dragon Temple in the north in order to collect the Lightsphere, the only means of piercing the Darksphere's protection and saving Hardin. Guided by Xane, Marth travelled to the Ice Dragon Temple on foot along Anri's Way, a path once traversed by Anri himself a century prior. As he travelled the route through the Mamorthod desert, the Flame Barrel graveyard and the frozen wastelands of the north, fighting degenerated wild dragons, collecting the Starsphere's shards and learning from Xane the true history of Archanea, the Manaketes and the creation of Falchion and Fire Emblem. Upon reaching the Ice Dragon Temple, Gotoh used the twelve shards to reconstitute the Starsphere, giving both it and the Lightsphere to Marth to use against Hardin. He also allowed Marth to wake Tiki and take her with him on his journey, on the condition that Marth collected all five of the Emblem's spheres to restore its true power and allow Tiki to survive.
Gotoh sent Marth's army back to Altea with his warp magic, and Marth once again fought to free Altea from Archanean conquest. At the battle's end, Gotoh contacted him again to warn him of Gharnef's return, and that Gharnef was responsible for abducting Elice, Maria and Lena for reasons unknown, and that he likely sought to abduct Nyna next. Marth resolved to lead a march on the Archanean capital itself, to stop Hardin and get to Nyna before Gharnef abducted her; unbeknownst to him, Nyna had already been given away to Gharnef by Hardin himself. After a long campaign, Hardin fell to Marth's army, and as he died his mind returned to him and he begged Marth to save Nyna and stop Gharnef. Having collected the final sphere from Hardin, the Fire Emblem was restored to its true form, the Binding Shield; Marth was approached by the four missing clerics, but the Shield's power revealed it to be an illusion cast by Gharnef. Gotoh then arrived and told Marth of how Gharnef was preparing to revive Medeus himself using the four clerics.
In order to stop Gharnef, Marth travelled to the Dragon Altar in the Macedon/Dolhr border region. En route he visited a village and encountered a severely wounded Michalis, who gave Starlight to Marth for use against Gharnef once more. In the Dragon Altar, Marth's army fought Gharnef once more and used Starlight to kill him, allowing Marth to finally reclaim Falchion from him. The revived Medeus awaited in the next chamber, now evolved into the powerful form of a Shadow Dragon, surrounded by the four clerics hypnotized into his service. Determined to rescue the clerics, Marth had some of his allies work to awaken them, clearing the way for him to kill Medeus for the second and final time.
With the War of Heroes finally over, most of Archanea's noble houses were left in ruins. Almost all of its surviving rulers ceded sovereignty over their territories to Marth himself, and so Marth united the continent as the Archanean Alliance, serving as its first king with Caeda as his queen. Under Marth's reign, the continent experienced a golden era of peace and its wounds began to heal.
Legacy
At least two millennia later, Marth's tale has passed into legend and he is revered as a mythical figure of the utmost importance, revered as the "Hero-King" and a legendary ruler beyond compare. The royal house of the Halidom of Ylisse, one of several post-unified Archanean nations, are his descendants and continue to wield both Falchion and the Binding Shield, which they now call the Fire Emblem. In their portrayal of him, Ylissean culture appears to have reinterpreted Marth as fiercer and harsher than he actually was, overlooking the legacy of victory through kindness he built.[4] When she travelled back in time to try and prevent the resurrection of the fell dragon Grima, Marth's descendant Lucina cloaked her true identity as Chrom's daughter by adopting the name of Marth as her own.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Marth is one of the strongest characters in the game. Though his bases might not seem spectacular, his growths are very good, which is rare in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. He also has exclusive access to the Rapier and Mercurius; the latter gives him a 25% chance to get +2 to each stat upon level up instead of just +1. After defeating Gharnef in chapter 23, Marth will get Falchion, which seals adjacent non-magical attacks from non-Manaketes; this, along with the fact that attacking Marth will always be prioritized by enemies, means that he will become invincible to most damage. When combined with Falchion's ability to be used for healing along with its infinite durability, Marth will have access to infinite HP restoration. His only real flaw is the lack of a mount and thus somewhat low movement, but this can be fixed by giving him the boots; this is also recommended as Marth is the only character that can visit villages and seize thrones, so giving him boots will make his job much easier. He will also miss some combat due to needing to visit villages if the player wishes to get all the items and characters, but because of the relatively low stats of most enemies in the game, Marth will have no trouble remaining a standout combat unit among the cast.

Marth has decent bases in both books and high growths, allowing him to snowball quickly with enough investment. He also comes with a high weapon level and can quickly get the needed level to wield the Silver Sword significantly improves his combat. He has 7 movement, which while not impressive outdoors puts him on par with Heroes and Snipers indoors, and he also can traverse rivers like the aforementioned classes. The Rapier allows him to one-round the Cavaliers in book 2 and the Falchion helps deal with annoying Manaketes and makes him one of the best candidates to fight Medeus in both books. Marth also has access to the convoy, which effectively gives him a massive inventory. Marth is somewhat dependent on his growths to keep him relevant, but because stat-boosting items give +4 in a desired stat, Marth can make great use of them as he will be deployed on every map, unlike most mounted or unmounted units depending on the map. Marth is in particular the best user of the Boots as every map in both books has the seize objective and he is the only unit who can visit villages, though this latter point will make him less able to contribute in combat in some maps. Marth also has nice utility as a backup thief, though most of the time any chest he may want to open will be out of the way. In book 1 Marth will not be as important once the player receives Warp, as for Warp-skips Marth has to seize the throne instead of fight. In Book 2 this is less of a factor as Warp comes later and only has 7 uses, and sometimes it is more efficient to have Marth kill a boss and seize the next turn to save a Warp use.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Role
Marth is the game's main character in both the main story and the Normal Mode prologue, and in every chapter save the Endgame he is required to seize the throne to clear the chapter. His death is an automatic Game Over.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Marth is the main character and lord of Shadow Dragon. He is automatically deployed in every chapter, and his deployment position cannot be changed.
Every map in Shadow Dragon except the final map requires Marth to seize. The problem is that Marth is bad at reaching objectives quickly by himself. He can never promote, he is always locked to infantry movement and locked to swords, which limits his potential to fight and ability to move around. Swords are the worst melee weapon type in Shadow Dragon, because most enemies after the first few maps use lances. Marth will suffer weapon triangle disadvantage in most battles, making it dangerous to fight with him in higher difficulties. His movement will forever be inferior to mounted units, too. To make matters worse, Shadow Dragon does not feature the rescue command, so units with higher movement cannot help Marth traverse the map.
Marth has a few advantages, despite these significant drawbacks. For instance, he can contribute with effective weapons now and then. The Rapier is effective against armored units and cavalry, and only Marth can use it. The Wyrmslayer is effective against Manaketes, but this is rarely useful until the endgame, when Marth likely has access to Falchion anyway.
Marth also benefits from the design of Shadow Dragon. Since every map except Endgame is a seize map, they can all be skipped by using the Warp staff, and the player gets one as early as Chapter 3. To minimize exposing Marth to enemies, he can be warped to the seize point and seize, even on turn 1, as long as another unit kills the boss beforehand.
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
Role
Marth is one of the game's two main characters, along with Kris. In every chapter aside from the Endgame, he is required to seize the throne to clear the chapter. His death is an automatic Game Over.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Marth in New Mystery of the Emblem is far better than his Shadow Dragon incarnation. Most importantly, he has solid base stats, especially in speed. He avoids getting doubled by enemies on higher difficulty levels, and while he will not double them either, avoiding doubling helps his survivability. On lower difficulty levels, Marth reliably doubles enemies, excluding the fastest ones. His durability is also quite good, although not excellent; 26 base HP and 8 base defense is nothing to scoff at. Marth's solid survivability is crucial since he is forcefully deployed on every map and has to seize. The player can usually expose him to enemies without him instantly dying.
Marth's disadvantages remain similar to his previous incarnations. He cannot reclass, and New Mystery really promotes reclassing, especially on higher difficulty levels. This also means he is forever locked to swords and can never become a flying unit. Having other weapon types and the capability to fly would improve his combat and help him seize faster. Unfortunately, he cannot gain either of those traits.
It should be noted that outside of being required to seize on most maps, Marth is also the only unit able to visit villages. He also recruits many characters, and he obtains the Fire Emblem, letting him open chests without using keys. This makes Marth's positioning very important since most objectives on each map can only be completed using him. Marth's 7 move helps him reach significant locations faster; other unmounted units have movement in the 4–6 range, but Marth's movement is 7, elevating him above them.
Finally, Marth's long-term potential is quite good. While he cannot reclass, his growth rates are among the best in the game. He gains several unique benefits later in the game, such as the Falchion – Marth's personal weapon. On higher difficulty levels, he will struggle more, but most units will face this issue, and Marth will still be among the better ones. For these reasons, Marth is a decent lord. He is not a combat powerhouse, neither does he have excellent utility, but he can contribute and survive.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Main story
- Main article:
Lucina
Although he is long dead and never personally appears, Marth's legacy has a prominent presence in Fire Emblem Awakening. Set thousands of years after Mystery of the Emblem, Marth has become a legendary figure in history, dubbed the "Hero-King"; Chrom and the rest of the Ylissean royal family are descended from him. While Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, and Robin are returning to Ylisstol from Southtown, Lissa is attacked by a group of Risen, but is saved by a mysterious swordsman bearing the name "Marth". This "Marth" present in the modern day wears a blue mask which obscures the top half of his face, and wields a sword which is nigh identical to the sealed Falchion treasured by Ylisse and currently wielded by Chrom. During an assassination attempt on Emmeryn, "Marth" is revealed to actually be a woman, though it is not until two years later that she reveals herself to be Lucina, Chrom's future daughter, who has returned to the past to prevent the resurrection of the Fell Dragon Grima.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
Role
Marth is mentioned as a Mirage, but appears only in soul form, not a humanoid form.
At the climax of the story, Marth's soul alongside those of Palla, Jagen, Linde, Gordin, Dolph, Macellan, and Ogma are necessary to perform the Opera of Light to defeat the Shadow Dragon Medeus.
However, Gharnef steals Marth's soul to prevent Itsuki's group of Mirage Masters from performing the Opera of Light, and sacrifices it alongside his own soul to revive Medeus. Despite this, the group goes to face Medeus anyway, in hopes that Marth's soul within the dragon would still resonate if the Opera is performed close enough to it.
Just as the Opera is about to be completed, Medeus appears and mortally wounds Itsuki, to the distraught of his allies. The souls of Marth's allies escape from the Masters and forcibly take Marth's soul from Medeus, which then enters Itsuki's body and revives him in a Carnage Form resembling Marth's attire. Itsuki and his allies complete the Opera and defeat the Shadow Dragon in battle, after which Marth and the other heroes' souls float into the sky to rest. Tiki looks to the sky and bids farewell to Marth as his soul floats away.

Marth/Heroes stats
There are six different variations of Marth available to Heroes, all of which are tied to his storyline appearance in Mystery of the Emblem, one of which also has a dual-credit with Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light. The normal variation of Marth is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A groom variation of Marth was added to the game alongside the assets for the Bridal Bloom update and made available to players in the second edition of the Tempest Trials+, "Loki's Flames", which initially ran from May 25, 2018 through June 4, 2018. A variation of Marth termed "Hero-King" was first made available to players on August 28, 2018 as the game's tenth Legendary Hero. A winter variation of Marth was made available between the period of December 16, 2019 through January 16, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the Glorious Gifts update; this variation is a Duo Hero, teamed up with Elice. A young variation of Marth, based on his appearance in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, was made available between the period of April 20, 2020 through May 20, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the The Start of It All update. A brave variation of Marth, featuring him wearing the armor of his indirect ancestor Anri, was made available on August 17, 2021 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the Howling Descent update. An Emblem variation of Marth—the first of the kind—was added on January 29, 2024, based on his Engage incarnation, and was first available to summon from then until February 19, 2023.
The brave variation of Marth, despite his Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light/Shadow Dragon self having garnered more overall votes than his Mystery of the Emblem/New Mystery of the Emblem self during the Choose Your Legends Round 5 event, is credited to Mystery of the Emblem and therefore based on him in the War of Heroes era as opposed to in the War of Shadows era.
Fire Emblem Warriors
Role
Marth is a playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors. His appearance is primarily based on his design from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. The coat of arms of Altea is on the back of his cape, similarly to Smash Bros. having the Archanean coat of arms on his cape. He is also given armor on his boots and gloves. The Marth appearing in Warriors appears to be from some late-midpoint of Shadow Dragon's story; he has met Gharnef and obtained Falchion, but the War of Shadows still appears to be ongoing from his point of view.[5]
During the main story Marth, with Caeda, Tiki and Navarre, abruptly appears during the ending of Chapter 14 to assist Rowan and Lianna in retreating from the area. Marth's group receives the shortest amount of spotlight before joining, having virtually none, compared to the other recruited characters from Awakening and Fates. It is unclear how he and his group were informed that the twins needed rescue and neither the main story or his supports with any characters appear to ever elaborate on it.
After joining Aytolis's troops, Marth accompanies the twins to the World Tree to recover Enliron and Facinna from its peak. At the tree, they encounter Gharnef, who is allied with Gristonne for unspecified reasons. Gharnef is excited to put Marth in his place but Marth is not intimidated by the sorcerer and defeats him. After obtaining the swords and retaking the Fortified Citadel, Marth's Gleamstone appears and secures itself into the Shield of Flames, completing it, though it is subsequently stolen by Darios.
Marth accompanies Aytolis's forces for the rest of the story and aids in the defeat of Velezark. Upon Velezark's defeat, the portals to other worlds begin closing and Marth, along with all the other heroes, are forcibly returned to their home worlds.

Marth is a confident man who believes he has a responsibility to devote himself to his country, his people and his responsibility as a prince above his own personal life. Even as he struggles to cope with the tragedies befalling his personal life, he knows others count on him as a symbol of hope and reassurance and always puts their reliance upon him first instead of focusing on his own pain.[6] Similarly, despite his and Caeda's mutual love of each other, he initially believed the demands of healing their battered nations meant that any attempt to act on these feelings would conflict with this, and that their desires had no place interfering.[7] He has a deep desire to help and save as many people as he could and will give his all to ensure this, but is nonetheless a pragmatist in his approach and accepts the hard decisions this necessitates, as with when he realized his chances of convincing Camus to stand down were minimal despite Nyna's wish to recruit him.[8] On occasion, Marth likes to joke about the situation he finds himself in as a way of expressing confidence in his ability to handle it.[9]
Marth's experiences and losses during Altea's fall scarred him greatly: he deeply regretted his inability to save Altea from conquest by Gra or to save Elice, believing himself to have failed everyone through cowardice. He came to be consumed by hatred and a desire for vengeance against Gra, Grust and Medeus's other allies, never giving any thought to the feelings of the people and soldiers until he encountered them personally and heard their words while waging war in Gra.[10] Learning from the realities of war and its impact on everyone, not just his own nation, during the War of Shadows ultimately guided Marth to look past his hatred and see his enemies not just as enemies, but as people with minds and wishes of their own. Prior to the reclamation of Altea in the War of Shadows, Marth also hoped despite the odds that Liza and Elice were still alive and well in Altea and that some part of his former life would still exist for him to return to, and was distraught to learn of his mother's death and Elice's captivity under Gharnef.[11] Even so, he again refused to allow his own grief to interfere with inspiring hope in his subjects.

As an Emblem, Marth does not have any support conversations. However, upon reaching bond level 5, 10, and 20 with any character, he has short bond conversations with them instead, which unlock the next bond level. Increasing bond level provides a variety of bonuses, such as raising the stat bonus Marth provides to synchronized units, inheriting weapon proficiencies, unlocking new sync skills and engage weapons, or extending the duration of each engagement.

Fire Emblem (anime)
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Marth is the protagonist of Fire Emblem, an anime adaptation of the beginning of Mystery of the Emblem. Being that the adaptation's English-dubbed release predated Super Smash Bros. Melee or any other semblance of official English naming for the cast of Fire Emblem, his name is translated here as Mars. His role is much the same here as it was in the game it adapts, with the addition of an exploration of the emotional consequences the fall of Aritia and the loss of his family had on him.
Super Smash Bros. series

Marth/ Super Smash Bros. series
Marth is a recurring playable character in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. fighting game series. He first joined the series in Super Smash Bros. Melee for Nintendo GameCube and, along with Roy, was one of the Fire Emblem series' first representatives in the games. He is present in all of the following games, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. While he is not present in the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64, series director Masahiro Sakurai has since claimed that he intended for Marth to be in that game as well.[12]
Marth's fighting style in the Super Smash Bros. series revolves around the impressive reach he has with his sword, Falchion, and with its ability to deal increased damage with the tip of the blade. With his relatively quick movement speed and the quick, precise sword swings of his ordinary attacks, a well-played Marth is able to pressure his opponents and rack up damage while keeping himself spaced away from his opponent's reach. He is also equipped with several potent potential finishing moves, some of which also share the advantage of coming out and striking quickly. However, he has relatively poor performance when it comes to defenses, and the laggy endings of many of his moves make him easily punished.
Like several other characters, Marth has clone characters who are derived from his moveset: Roy in Melee, for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Ultimate, and Lucina in for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Ultimate. Marth is one of only two characters to have been cloned twice, the other being Mario.

Marth was featured on four TCG cards, starting from the fifth card series.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
Role
Marth is featured as a bonus playable character in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M..[13] His appearance is triggered by using Marth's amiibo in the chapter preparations menu. As is standard for the Fire Emblem series, but atypical of characters in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., Marth cannot be brought back into a battle after being defeated; instead, the player must use his amiibo again in order to regain access to him. For the first time since the OVA, Marth is voiced by an English-speaking voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, in this game's English version.
In Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., Marth has access to two weapons. His primary weapon is Falchion, which inflicts high damage in a single blow, and his secondary weapon is the Rapier, which is a quick weapon which effectively targets weak points; he also comes with a unique Boiler, the sources of the game's characters' steam energy, which takes the form of his cape and is simply known as Marth's Cape. He also has exclusive access to a Special Ability called Lodestar which heals his allies.[14]

| Marth is the prince of Altea, a kingdom on the continent of Archanea. Long ago, Marth's predecessor Anri used the Falchion to seal away the Shadow Dragon, Medeus—but Medeus later returned to exact his revenge upon the kingdom. | Medeus was assisted by Gharnef, the Dark Pontifex, who stole the Falchion to keep it from being used again. His plans were foiled when Marth reclaimed the sacred blade during the war with Medeus's forces, the Dolhr Empire! | With the Falchion in hand, Marth fought with a great host of allies at his side to finally defeat Medeus. | Marth is an inspiring figure who led people from all walks of life to achieve great things. I hope he can help bring all of the Heroes here in Askr together as well! | ||||||

Trivia
- Marth's English anime dub voice actor, Spike Spencer, has portrayed one other Fire Emblem character since then: Excellus in Fire Emblem Awakening.
- If Caeda died and was not revived in Shadow Dragon, Marth will lament her death with Nyna in the ending.
- On April Fools's Day in 2017, a fake Fire Emblem game called "Fire Emblem: Battle of Revolution" was given a page on Nintendo's website, featuring Fire Emblem Gaiden style graphics. Marth, in a design inspired by his Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light appearance, was "announced" on the page as a DLC character.
- The pose Marth does when taunting in Fire Emblem Warriors is the same pose as his Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light artwork.
Voice credits
While Hikaru Midorikawa's performance as Marth is the most prominent in both Japanese material and Super Smash Bros., numerous other voice actors have portrayed Marth in less well-known Japanese media over the years, primarily drama CDs.
- Shinichiro Ohta (Japanese, Dengeki Bunko Drama CD Fire Emblem: Chapter of Departure)
- Shigeru Nakahara (Japanese, G-Fantasy Comic CD Collection)
- Rei Sakuma (Japanese, G-Fantasy Comic CD Collection Vol. 1 Promise to the Land as a child)
- Akira Ishida (Japanese, radio drama Dawn Chapter / Purple Storm Chapter)
Etymology and other languages
| Names, etymology, and in other regions | ||
|---|---|---|
| Language | Name | Definition, etymology, and notes |
| English |
• Marth |
• His current English name, used in all material since Super Smash Bros. Melee. Derived from Mars, the Roman god of war and the equivalent of the Greek Ares; also the name of the fourth planet of Earth's solar system, and the French word for the month March. There is a German municipality named Marth, but it is unlikely to have had any influence on the character's name. The "Marth" translation was popularized primarily by Super Smash Bros. Melee. |
| Japanese |
マルス |
Officially romanized as Marth. It is uncertain whether this was the originally intended rendering of the name or if the intention of Intelligent Systems was that his name is actually Mars; the internal debug menu and file names in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem refer to him as "Mars", but all parts of these games intended for public consumption spell it as "Marth" when necessary. "Mars" is also used in the official Fates character book. |

- ↑ "Lucina: I just didn't expect the mighty King Marth to be so...er, nice.
Tiki: And how DID you imagine him?
Lucina: The Marth of history led the liberators and smashed the power of evil dragons! He brought peace to the entire world at the edge of a sword. He must've been a fierce, unforgiving man who struck fear in friend and foe alike! How could he not have been, when he was forced to wage such a terrible war?
Tiki:...I suppose he was unforgiving—at least when it came to himself. He never stopped looking for a way to lead the world to peace. And every victim and sacrifice on that path haunted him..." — Lucina and Tiki, Fire Emblem Awakening - ↑ "Celica: It's probably coincidence, but there's a land by the same name in my world. It should be at peace right now, but... you country is at war, right?
Marth: Yes... The situation is beyond grave. Not only did I lose my own kingdom, but the entire continent is now fighting. So if I want to save my kingdom, I must save all the others as well." — Marth and Celica, Fire Emblem Warriors - ↑ "Nyna: Marth...perhaps you should let that wait, just until you are able to share their joy with them. We could send someone in your stead-
Marth: No, that would not do. Today is a momentous day for my kingdom and my people. I must celebrate with them now, not later. Anything else would be a disservice to those who died to save Altea. I am a prince before I am a son or a brother. Come, Malledus. Let us go greet my people." — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ "Nyna: You wish to send Caeda home to Talys, then, and return to Altea alone? That is what you want?
Marth: Well, that's where we both belong. I don't see what my wants have to do with anything." — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ "Nyna: I hated him, too, at first. But in the time, I found my hatred tempered by the compassion he showed me, my feelings...changed. And now, all I wish is to see him again...But not if it means you and he must fight.
Marth: Nyna... Do you... I cannot make any promises. But I will do what I can. I hope you can accept that.
Nyna: Thank you, Marth. I could not ask for more." — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ "Nyna: Grust's artillery...Our opponent is mighty.
Marth: Nonetheless we must face them head-on; they stand between us and Altea.
Nyna: That hunger for danger worries me, Marth. Humanity's hopes rest on your shoulders. I would sooner not see them crushed.
Marth: Which? Humanity's hopes, or my shoulders? ...Have a little faith, Nyna. The enemy ballisticians can strike from afar, but they're powerless up close. All we need to do is move in and silence them before they do too much damage. Watch!" — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ "Nyna: Spectacularly done, Marth. ...Does something ail you? I thought you would be happier.
Marth: Today, there was this commoner... She mentioned Grust was divided about the war. Some of its people wanted to fight with Altea, she said...Ever since I lost my father and kingdom, I've held nothing but hate in my heart for Gra and Grust...but not once did I give any thought to what must have been going on in their heads.
Nyna: And now you find your hate for them has been lessened?
Marth: No... the hate remains. I will never forget the pain they inflicted upon me, the rage I felt. Yet now, at least, I can tell you it's not just hate...Not anymore.
Nyna: Not all evils are wrought of evil purposes. Perhaps this sounds naive, but...A true leader needs to look at his opponent and see more than just an enemy." — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ "Nyna: Marth! Any word? Have you found your family? Your sister?
Marth: ...My sister was taken by Gharnef. She is no longer here... And my...my mother is... She is dead. Slain...by that Dolhrian dragon...
Nyna: ....! Marth, I am truly sorry...
Marth: I thought there would be something...some part of my old life I would be coming back to. I fought so hard..." — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - ↑ Sakurai, M.; trans.
