node-firebird doesn't let you chose the charset connection, it will always use UTF8. Node is unicode, no matter if your database is using another charset to store string or blob, Firebird will transliterate automatically.
This is why you should use Firebird 2.5 server at least.
Firebird new wire protocol is not supported yet so for Firebird 3.0 you need to add the following in firebird.conf
AuthServer = Legacy_Auth
WireCrypt = Disabled
