Marth

Marth (マルスMarusu? ) is a character from Intelligent Systems's Fire Emblem series of video games. He is the central protagonist and Lord-class character of the original game[2] Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi,[1] the third game, Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo,[3] and the two remake games Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo: Hikari to Kage no Eiyū.

Although all Marth's Fire Emblem titles were released only in Japan[4] until the release of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, he has acquired more widespread international attention through his recurring appearances in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games.[5] The appearance of Marth and Roy sparked a greater level of Western interest in the Fire Emblem series, and it was in part because of this that Nintendo began releasing the games internationally beginning withthe seventh title in the series.[6]
