Warriors: Three Hopes

In Three Hopes, Metodey is not initially depicted as associated with the Adrestian army. He is instead encountered as an independent bandit, and the circumstances of encountering him vary depending on the story route.

Scarlet Blaze

Metodey's first appearance in Scarlet Blaze is in the Chapter 8 side quest "Keep the Peace", where he and his gang terrorize a village located near the Western Church.

He appears again in the main quest of Chapter 12, where he takes advantage of the chaos in Hrym territory to attack innocent civilians. He is eventually tracked down and killed by the Imperial Army, but not before poisoning Leonie, who had arrived on the scene to escort some of its villagers to safety.

Azure Gleam

Metodey is appointed a general of the Imperial Army following Edelgard falling into the clutches of Thales after the Battle of Arianrhod and the appointing of Ludwig as Emperor Regent, where he was stationed in the Western Church. He orders Balthus, who is under contract by the Empire, to attack civilians, and sends his own band of assassins after Balthus when he inevitably refuses to comply.

Golden Wildfire

Metodey appears in the main quest of Chapter 13, where he takes advantage of the chaos in Ordelia territory to attack innocent civilians. He is eventually tracked down and killed by the Leicester Federation army, but not before poisoning Dorothea, who had arrived on the scene to escort some of its villagers to safety.

Other Appearances

If Metodey is not killed in any of the above scenarios before it is unlocked, he appears as the boss of the paralogue "The Ashen Wolves' Reunion".

Personality

Metodey is ruthless in following his orders and appears to take pleasure in killing, but when fatally wounded himself, he expresses surprise and fear.

Shrewd Braggart Metodey
	Hailing from Fódlan, Metodey is a cold man who's deadly with a dagger and takes on any kind of dirty work as long as there's something in it for him.
	Having been hired by the Flame Emperor, who had been plotting in the shadows of Garreg Mach Monastery, he was a partner in the mysterious antagonist's activities.
	And so, on the day that a rite of divine revelation was to take place at Garreg Mach's Holy Tomb, Metodey and the Flame Emperor attacked the ritual and ravaged that sacred place of rest.
	Now listen here, Metodey! I'm glad that you're here to help, but you should know that we don't tolerate bad behavior in the Order of Heroes!
