You take back that anti-Python propaganda right now. Dude is iconic.
Python is one of Gaiden’s two archers, and in fact he is responsible for the creation of an entire archetype of units in future Fire Emblem games – that of a timid, fledgling bowman who gradually becomes a marksman of impeccable skill and confidence by the end of the game. While many people might think that FE1’s Gordin was the progenitor of the archetype, it turns out that Intelligent Systems originally intended to include Python in FE1, but decided to swap him out for Gordin at the last minute because they thought that Python’s 1-5 range would break the game.
Alm and the player first encounter Python guarding the Zofia Liberation Army base, and upon talking with him he immediately s***ters all of the player’s preconceived notions about Fire Emblem: he doesn’t join you. That’s right, Python is so dedicated to his job that he stays at his post no matter how many times you talk to him, only joining the army after you venture deeper into the base and recruit Clive and Forsyth. In that sense, Python is a precursor to FE5’s Xavier, in that you must perform a complicated sequence of conversations to recruit him.
“Eh, where's everyone going? What? We're finally marching on Zofia Castle? Then I'm going too. Let's go for it -- for the liberation of Zofia!”
While Python is quick to put up a tough front, it is clear that he is dreadfully afraid of being forgotten and left behind while the rest of the army liberates Zofia. In fact, it’s actually possible for that to happen, if the player assumes that he is unrecruitable. This sense of fear and loneliness that Python displays should be familiar to modern Fire Emblem players – IS would later reprise the theme for FE14’s Takumi. It speaks to the fear of dying alone that exists in all of us.
Speaking of dying alone, Python’s death quote speaks volumes about his character:
“Tsk, my bad...”
Python faces his fears and fights with Alm, but it is all for nought if he dies. He realizes that despite all his efforts, it’s his bad. It’s a tragic conclusion to his character arc, in stark contrast to what happens if he survives the events of the game (but we’ll get to that later).
Python boasts a whopping Strength growth of 40%, the highest in the game, and is capable of attacking enemies from up to 5 spaces away provided that he is armed with a bow. However, more significant than that is how he is able to attack enemies’ self-confidence from anywhere on the map, showing them what a true hero looks like. To quote Ike and Soren from The Sacred Stones:
Ike: Can a man still be brave even if he’s afraid? Soren: That’s the only time a man can be brave.
Python embodies this sentiment that is such a core theme of the Fire Emblem series, facing his enemies head on, on equal ground, by attacking them from 5 squares away with no possibility of retaliation.
In Python’s epilogue, he forms and leads a vigilante group to protect villagers from bandits (because apparently the king and queen are too s*** to do so themselves), but more importantly, to protect them from the darkness in their own hearts. And at the end of the day, is that not what Fire Emblem is all about?
