Dart is a playable unit in Fire Emblem and the only playable pirate in the game. He was a proud and ambitious pirate, but he could not remember most of his past. Prior to losing memory, he was known as Dan and lived in Pherae.

Background

Dan was born in a small village in Pherae and was the son of the village's magistrate. He had a younger sister, Rebecca, and he also became close friends with Wil, their next door neighbor. Wil and Dan later ran away from home to initiate a scheme that they hoped would result in them getting rich giving their families better lifestyles. But one month into the journey, Dan left Wil at the port town of Badon with the impression that he was going home.

It is uncertain what happened after Dan parted ways with Wil, but it resulted in Dan being left on one of Badon's docks, bleeding severely. At the time the sailors and other people of Badon were observing a holiday of St. Elimine that forbade contact with blood, so anyone who saw Dan ignored him. Dan laid there half dead, for six hours until the day ended and the taboo was lifted. The pirate captain Fargus then helped Dan to recover to full health. However, he had lost all his memories in the process. Because of this, he became known by a new name, Dart.

Dart joined Fargus's pirate crew and became one of Fargus's most loyal and devoted followers. At the same time he also developed his own ambitions when he somehow acquired a treasure map that led to the treasure of the legendary pirate king, Han Gak. He endeavored to solve the map's riddles to find the treasure's location. Once he found the treasure, he planned to hide it in a new place and then create a new map to distribute so that he would be known as the new legendary pirate king.

Dart makes several appearances in the chapters of Fire Emblem leading up to his joining of Eliwood's group. First in "The Port of Badon" (Eliwood Chapter 16x, Hector Chapter 17x), Fargus tested Eliwood's group by sending his pirates to attack them in exchange for giving them free passage to Valor Isle. Dart was among the pirates, but unlike the others he remained stationary and would not attack unless he was attacked first. It is possible to kill him in this chapter, but that would mean he would not be playable later on. He is then briefly seen in "Pirate Ship" (Eliwood Chapter 17, Hector Chapter 18), when has to carry the unconscious Ninian aboard and winds up asking Lyn to help him, as he did not know the appropriate way to hold a woman.

After they arrived at Valor Isle, Dart left with Fargus's permission to join with Eliwood's group. Fargus merely said that Dart wanted to go sight-seeing, but the real reason likely involved his search for the pirate king's treasure. Dart stayed with Eliwood for the remainder of Eliwood's adventure. They also met with Fargus again when he brought them to Valor Isle again in the last chapters. Fargus warned Dart to come back alive, and Dart assured him that he would. After the final chapter, Dart rejoined Fargus's pirate crew.

Possible Fates

Dart has two possible endings, depending on whether or not he has A Rank Support with Farina. It is possible for the events of his default ending to occur following his ending with Farina.

  • Default Ending- Dart received a serious wound while he was defending Fargus in battle and was lost at sea afterwards. However, there were rumors that Dart turned up alive in Pherae (possibly having remembered his past).
  • Farina and Dart's Ending- Farina, apparently having fallen in love with Dart, began visiting Dart often in Badon and spent much time flirting with him. It is unstated whether or not their relationship developed beyond flirtation.
