In the story set in the kingdom of Altea, the hero Marth gathered an army to recapture and restore his home and the rest of the Archanea continent, and is the warrior who twice slew the Shadow Dragon Medeus. Being in the first "Fire Emblem" game, "Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Ken" he is the first Lord (main character) of the "Fire Emblem" series. Typical of most "Fire Emblem" "Lords" in successive games, he is a swordsman with a slim build and wears a cape; he shows nobility and justness in both of the "Fire Emblem" games that he appears in, though he also shows himself to be somewhat single-minded in his pursuit in "Shadow Dragon". He also has difficulty in expressing his romantic feelings for the character Caeda in that game's epilogue (if she survived). His nobility of character has carried over to the anime, in which he is fighting against villains. His father Cornelius was the King of Altea, his elder sister Elice is the Princess of Altea, and Caeda becomes his queen at the end of the game. Marth wields the Divine Blade of Legends, Falchion, as his main weapon in both the "Fire Emblem" games and "Super Smash Bros." series.
