Gatekeeper

The guard who watches over the gates of Garreg Mach Monastery. A kind man who cares deeply for all Heroes who pass through his gate. Appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Name: Unknown (Often referred as Gatekeeper) Gender: Male Race: Human Age: 30s Relatives: Unnamed Younger Twin Brother Occupation: Gatekeeper of Garreg Mach Monastery Weapon: Lances </Personal Information> The Gatekeeper is a tall athletic man with light skin who wears a set of silver armor, black pants and silver boots. He wears a silver helmet that conceals his hair and eyes. The gatekeeper's dialogues are often comical in nature and play upon the idea that he's actually rather unobservant and inept at his job despite his enthusiasm towards it. No matter the situation, he almost always has nothing to report despite what events may be occurring on the monastery grounds during a given month.

He enjoys fishing and holds the Knights of Seiros, particularly the Relic-wielding Catherine, in high regard. However, he is afraid of the Death Knight and Judith. The gatekeeper is also well-versed on the history and culture of Fodlan and is more than happy to divulge information.

He is shown to be quite emotional and looking for love during the Academy Phase, and longs to visit Deirdru and Fhirdiad on holiday after the end of the war.

The Gatekeeper's brother, who takes his place in Crimson Flower, displays the same personality as his brother, with the only noticeable difference being his loyalty to the Adrestian Empire over the Church of Seiros. As his title suggests, the gatekeeper dutifully watches over the entrance to Garreg Mach Monastery where he can usually be found when Byleth chooses to explore the monastery on a free day. When talked to, the Gatekeeper greets Byleth and talks of current/upcoming events. During Chapter 9, speaking to the gatekeeper lets Byleth choose the student they will see at the Goddess Tower, so long as they have a B-support (or C for some students) with said student. Ignoring the gatekeeper will choose a student at random.

Due to the events that cause the shift between the Academy and War phase, when Garreg Mach Monastery closes down, the gatekeeper is forced to leave his post. With the return of Byleth after five years, the monastery reopens and in three of the four routes, the same gatekeeper resumes his duties. In Crimson Flower, the unnamed brother of the gatekeeper appears instead. He is visually the exact same as the one encountered in the Academy Phase, but says that he is not devout to the Church of Seiros like his brother. Nonetheless, this gatekeeper greets Byleth and handles his duties in similar fashion to his brother. The Gatekeeper uses lances as his weapon.
