Description
Edelgard is a Fallen, a demonic being with reptilian traits: brown, scale-like skin, golden eyes featuring vertically torn pupils, and long silver hair reaching her waist. She fights as a Dragon Knight, introduced riding a dragon-like mount. When her beast becomes paralyzed by fear, she dismounts to battle using a glaive. Her combat abilities include "Sacrificial Charge," consuming 15% of her health to enhance her attacks.
Initially commanding an army assaulting Faltra City, she confronts Diablo. He defeats her with ultimate magic, causing significant clothing damage, though she survives. Edelgard withdraws under Diablo's mercy. Her absolute loyalty lies with the Demon Lord Krebskulm, dedicating her existence to serving this entity, even through actions against other races. However, she demonstrates a preference for peaceful solutions when possible, differing from more destructive Fallen factions.
Her allegiance shifts after encountering Rem and witnessing Krebskulm's rebirth as Klem. She transitions from Faltra's enemy to its protector, willing to fight her own kind to defend its inhabitants. This shift includes proposing a ritual to safely separate Krebskulm's soul from Rem's body without harming Rem, resolving a critical conflict peacefully. To conceal her identity within Faltra, she adopts the disguise of a bespectacled maid serving Krebskulm, performing menial tasks. Heavy rain ruins this disguise, revealing her true nature. The townspeople accept her without hostility, leading her to continue openly as a Fallen in maid attire, including an apron worn over her undergarments.
Edelgard exhibits a pattern of shifting allegiances. She briefly rejoins the Fallen believing awakening Krebskulm's full power is necessary, but permanently sides with Faltra upon realizing her error. Throughout these changes, she develops respect for Diablo, addressing him honorifically and actively avoiding confrontation with him. She maintains a close friendship with Alicia Crystella, risking her life for this bond. Her interactions reveal a capacity for honorable conduct despite her demonic nature, prioritizing loyalty and pragmatic resolutions over mindless destruction.
