Marth is a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series. He is from the Fire Emblem series who is considered to original main protagonist of the series. Marth also made his debut in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Biography[]

The prince and heir of the kingdom of Altea, and the hero of most of the Archanea games. Exiled to Talys in the beginning of the War of Shadows after his father was betrayed by former ally Gra, Marth united the forces of Altea, Aurelis and Archanea to rise up against Dolhr and kill the revived Medeus. Three years later, he clashed head-on with the mad Emperor Hardin of Archanea in the War of Heroes. In time, Archanea would come to be united under his rule as the War of Heroes took its toll on the rulers of other nations, and he would go down in history as the legendary Hero-King; thousands of years later, his descendants are the royal family of Ylisse, including Chrom, Emmeryn, Lissa, Owain and Lucina.
