Jester is a masked gladiator in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, carrying the byname the Jester from Hell. The roster indexes the name twice, once with Bertrand's clan the Mane of Flame and once among the units with no banner of their own, and a recruitment figure has been published for him. His profile was published on September 8, 2026.

Recruiting Him
Jester is one of the handful of characters whose recruitment requirements have been shown. The Base Map readout gives each candidate a required Support level and a required Renown level, and his pair sits in the middle of the published range.
Character | Support level | Renown level |
|---|---|---|
2 | 3 | |
3 | 5 | |
Jester | 3 | 6 |
3 | 8 | |
Not recorded | 10 |
Renown is the standing level the game tracks across a run, and it gates regions and certification exams as well as recruits. Recruitment covers how a candidate's conditions are shown and what happens when they are met.
Requirements in the shipped game differ by path, so each of the readouts above only reflects the path it was taken on. Io's, Jester's and Ninae's pairs are their requirements on Dietrich's path, Loretta's pair matches Theodora's and Leda's paths, and Seteth's Renown 10 matches Leda's path.
Jester can be recruited on all four paths, and every path asks for three quests on top of Support and Renown:
Path | Support level | Renown | Other requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
Cai's path | 3 | 10 | Three quests |
Dietrich's path | 3 | 6 | Three quests |
Theodora's path | 3 | 9 | Three quests |
Leda's path | 3 | 10 | Three quests |
The Mask
He is the second masked figure on the roster, after Orchel, whose cat-shaped mask she refuses to remove in front of others. Nothing published connects the two, and nothing says what Jester's mask is, why he wears it, or what the Jester from Hell refers to.
What Has Not Been Published
As of September 2026, no official profile, presentation or press release gives Jester an age, a homeland, a starting class or a chapter he first appears in. His personal ability, Blink of an Eye, adds Defense +3 until his next phase after Swap. As of September 2026, this wiki has not reconciled his two roster entries, so whether he fights under the Mane of Flame banner before being recruited or is simply indexed in both places is unsettled.
