Goliath
September 16, 2026 at 03:13 PM
Initial version (2026-09-16)
Goliath is a gladiator in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, known by the epithet the Butcher. He stands 250 cm, and his profile makes the unusual point that he is unpopular precisely because of how good he is: the crowd does not warm to a fighter who wins the way he wins. He is fought early on the Fox route at the head of his own bandit outfit, and he is indexed later with Bertrand's clan. His profile was published on September 7, 2026.

Goliath is listed twice on the roster, which is how the game handles a unit who changes hands. He first appears at the head of Goliath's Bandits, a bandit outfit Cai fights early on the Fox route, in the third chapter of its first Part, where he is fought as an Armored Knight. He is then indexed with the Mane of Flame, the clan of Bertrand, alongside Dante, Gaitz and Jester. He is also listed as recruitable later, so the bandit leader can end up in the player's party.
As with the other bosses, Armored Knight is the class he is fought in on that map rather than a fixed identity; Classes covers the distinction, and Bonus Damage covers what the Armored group is vulnerable to.
The Butcher is the English form of his epithet, rendered in Japanese as 牛殺し. His profile pairs the name with the crowd's reaction to him, which is the detail that separates him from the other arena names on the roster: Bertrand is a living legend the audience turns out for, while Goliath is a fighter people would rather not watch. Nothing published explains what he does in a match to earn that.
As of September 2026, no official profile, presentation or press release gives Goliath an age, a homeland, a personal skill, a starting class as a playable unit or a join point, and none says how a bandit leader comes to be indexed with an arena clan. Whether his own outfit survives that move has not been stated.
Bertrand leads the clan Goliath is later listed with, Heroic Games covers the tournament he fights in, and Factions places both of his banners among the groups on the roster.
