As Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones marks its 20-year anniversary, it is remembered for its unique portrayal of villains, particularly Orson. A soldier consumed by his love for his deceased wife, Monica, Orson's story arc is impactful despite his limited screen time. Initially introduced as a playable character, he betrays the heroes in a desperate attempt to save her. This betrayal, combined with scenes showing his grief and madness, deepens the game's narrative and reflects the series' distinctive blend of personal stories within its strategy gameplay.
Orson's tragic narrative, marked by devotion and betrayal, unravels the emotional complexity found in Fire Emblem villains, setting a higher standard for storytelling.
One of the most haunting scenes shows Orson engaging with the reanimated corpse of his wife, Monica, reflecting the deep personal stakes in his villainy.
