Discover Brady's character bio, potential classes, support options, family ties, and growth rates in our Fire Emblem: Awakening guide. Learn how to best utilize him!

Alright, let's talk about Brady, Maribelle's son in Fire Emblem: Awakening! He's got a bit of a tough exterior with that scar, but don't let it fool you – he's more likely to shed a tear than start a fight. Fun fact: that scar is from a violin string! He's also the one you'll want to keep an eye on to avoid accidental friendly fire.

When it comes to his class options, Brady can really branch out. He can become a War Monk or a Sage. If he inherits his father's class, he could also potentially become a Cavalier, which can then promote to a Paladin or Great Knight, or a Mage, which can promote to a Sage or Dark Knight. It really depends on who you pair Maribelle with!

For his Support conversations, Brady can build relationships with Yarne, Inigo, and Owain. If you're looking at S-Rank supports, he can pair with Lucina (if she's not related to him), Kjelle, Cynthia, Severa, Noire, Nah, and Female Morgan (again, if they aren't related). It's always interesting to see who he opens up to!

Brady's family ties are pretty straightforward. His mother is Maribelle, of course. As for his father, there are quite a few possibilities: Chrom, Kellam, Donnel, Frederick, Gaius, Gregor, Henry, Libra, Ricken, Lon'qu, Stahl, Vaike, or Virion. Depending on his father, he could also have a sibling relationship with Lucina or Female Morgan.

Let's look at his growth rates. Brady has a solid 'B' in HP and a really great 'A' in Luck. For his offensive and defensive stats, he's sitting at 'C' for Strength, Magic, Speed, Defence, and Resistance, with a 'D' in Skill. Keep in mind these will be a bit tweaked based on his parents' stats, so choose wisely!

Personally, I found Brady to be a really enjoyable character, even though he can be a bit self-deprecating. He turns out to be a pretty balanced unit. I had good results promoting him to War Monk, and that Renewal skill is fantastic – it can really help out any unit you pass it to. It might take a little patience to train him up, especially if you're used to healers, but he becomes quite reliable once he gets going.

Since you get him at Level 10, you can promote him pretty early. I'd definitely recommend promoting him to War Monk right away so he can start racking up combat experience in that class. Depending on his father, he can gain access to some really useful classes, which can make him even more versatile.

And hey, if you pair him up right, he could even be Chrom's son and Lucina's brother! That's a pretty cool bit of family connection to play with.
