NPCS

Anna

She appears in a house in "The Port of Badon" (Eliwood Chapter 16x, Hector Chapter 17x). Her boyfriend is Jake, one of Fargus's pirates. She gives Eliwood's group directions on the safest route to Fargus's ship.

Anna also appears as the shopkeeper in the game's secret shops. Outside of the story, she appears whenever the player chooses to suspend their game in order to confirm their choice, and she also hosts the Link Arena.

Marquess Araphen

The cruel-hearted marquess of Araphen whose true name is not disclosed. He has a spiteful prejudice against the nomads of the Sacae Plains which was caused, or enforced, by the Lady Madelyn, whom Marquess Araphen admired, eloping with the Sacaean plainsman Hassar. However, he enjoys having Sacaeans under his control, as seen in the example of Rath.

Lyn comes to him seeking aid in "Chapter 6: Blood of Pride" and he initially offers his help. But after seeing her in person and seeing the Sacaean blood in her, he withdraws his offer. He was planning to help her if she forsook her pride and shed even a single tear, but she did not and left. Afterwards, Rath resigned from serving Marquess Araphen and told off the marquess for his attitude.

Barigan

Barigan was one of the Eight Legends. His legendary weapon was Malte. He was born in the place that would later become Ilia, and he inspired the Knights of Ilia.

Bramimond

Bramimond was one of the Eight Legends. Nearly nothing was known about him except that he excelled in dark magic. According to Athos, Bramimond had lost himself to darkness and become a living mirror reflecting whoever spoke to him at the moment, independent of gender and age. After the Scouring, Bramimond apparently had a hand in sealing away the Eight Divine Weapons, and he retired to the solitary darkness of the basement beneath the Shrine of Seals.

Nearly 1000 years later, Bramimond and Athos were the last of the Eight Legends to still be alive in Fire Emblem. Athos brought Eliwood's company before Bramimond in an attempt to convince him to lift the seals over all of the legendary weapons. Bramimond was reluctant because of the damage that the weapons had caused last time they were used, but he ultimately complied. Later on, he appeared in the final battle and performed a ritual that seemed to use power from the Divine Weapons in order to revive Ninian. Athos died following the battle and remarked that Bramimond would be the last of them alive, but Bramimond suggested he did not have much time to live either.

The last surviving legend, it seems Bramimond died sometime prior to Fuuin no Tsurugi. His legendary weapon was the Dark Tome Apocalypse, which was found in the Shine of Seals' basement in Fuuin no Tsurugi.

Desmond

Desmond was the king of Bern in the time of Fire Emblem. During his upbringing he was of a very average strength and intellect. He intended to marry the woman he loved, but instead he was arranged to marry Hellene, a princess from Etruria. Together they had a son, Zephiel, but Desmond grew jealous of Zephiel's natural abilities which far outranked those of Desmond. So he acted cold towards Zephiel and Hellene, shunning them and accusing them of plotting against him, and he eventually exiled them from his castle and forced them to stay in Zephiel's manse.

In the meantime, Desmond tried to give birth to an heir with his original lover, but they only had a daughter, Guinivere. The time eventually approached for Zephiel's coming-of-age ceremony, and Desmond attempted to sabotage it by hiring members of the Black Fang to steal the Fire Emblem, which was essential to the ceremony, and he also hired them to later kill Zephiel as well. Both plans failed, and Zephiel and Hellene made attempts to reconnect with Desmond.

These attempts presumably failed, as Desmond stubbornly later named Guinivere's future husband heir to the throne instead. Sometime prior to Fuuin no Tsurugi, he attempted to kill Zephiel himself by poisoning his drink at a banquet, but Zephiel survived and faked his death. When Desmond checked up on Zephiel's coffin, Zephiel sprung out and killed him to put an end to this. It was Desmond's harsh treatment of Zephiel which aided in shaping Zephiel into the main villain of Fuuin no Tsurugi.

Durban

Durban was one of the Eight Legends and was known as the Berserker (presumably this was his class as well). Unlike the other legendary heroes, he seemed to be motivated not by the hopes of protecting mankind but simply because he desired battle. His legendary weapon was Armads, and Durban became known as Armads as well due to his extensive use of the weapon. After the Scouring, he inspired a warrior clan in the Western Isles, where Armads was kept.

In Fire Emblem he appears in spirit form when Hector claims Armads in "The Berserker" (Hector Chapter 30). Durbans expressed his will to battle to Hector and also warned Hector that drawing Armads guaranteed him a death on the battlefield. Durban was ultimately convinced to lend Hector his power and let him have Armads. Even after returning Armads to the Western Isles, Hector feels its power surging through him.

Elbert

Elbert was the marquess of Pherae. He was married to Eleanora, and Eliwood was his son. He learned of the conspiracy by Lord Darin to rebel against Ostia and overthrow it as the dominant area of the Lycian League, and he also learned that they were being backed by Nergal and the Black Fang. Elbert set out with Harken and many of the kingdom's best knights, but all the knights (save for Harken) were killed by Nergal as they approached Nergal's base, the Dragon's Gate.

As for Elbert, Nergal saw value in his high amount of quintessence and had him imprisoned. He was sent to a dungeon with Nils and Ninian. He knew they were the dragons Nergal had summoned and hoped to use to summon more dragons. Elbert did not judge them but instead raised their moods by telling them stories about his home and family. Eventually he was able to help them escape in "Pirate Ship" (Eliwood Chapter 17, Hector Chapter 18). However, Nergal informed him that Eliwood was on his way to the Dragon's Gate in search of Elbert, and he had Ninian with him so it was like his efforts to save her had been undone.

Eliwood and his company were able to reach Elbert. However, the reunion was short-lived, as Nergal drained Elbert's quintessence in order to send Ninian into a strange trance which made her open the Dragon's Gate and call forth a dragon. But Nils arrived in time to stop the ceremony. And, in his dying moments, Elbert was able to strike Nergal with a lethal blow. This forced Nergal to retreat and allowed Eliwood's company to retreat, as well as time to regroup and plan on how to defeat Nergal. Elbert then died in his sobbing son's arms.

St. Elimine

St. Elimine was one of the Eight Legends, and was one of the only two females in the group. She practiced light magic, and her legendary weapon was Aureola. She moved to Etruria and inspired the religious group known as the Church of St. Elimine, which nearly every magic character in the game is part of.

St. Elimine strangely enough appears in the Fire Emblem section of the bonus disc accompanying pre-ordered copies of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and she oversees the transfer of items from the Gamecube disk to Fire Emblem.

Eleanora

Eleanora was the wife of Elbert and the mother of Eliwood. After Elbert went missing and Eliwood left in search of him, Eleanora was left to take care of Pherae. She was protected by Isadora, one of the few knights remaining. However, after receiving word of Elbert's death, she decided to protect her remaining family by sending Isadora away to accompany Eliwood and help keep him safe. Eleanora was seen in "Taking Leave" (Eliwood Chapter 10) when she saw Eliwood off when he embarked on his journey and in "Living Legend" (Eliwood Chapter 22, Hector Chapter 23) when Eliwood had Athos teleport him and his company to Pherae Castle.

Fae

Fae is one of the characters from Fuuin no Tsurugi who makes a cameo appearance in this game. She was a Manakete from the hidden village of Arcadia who resembled a young girl. She was very outgoing but not allowed to leave the village. She is seen watching a house in the Nabata Desert in "Living Legend" (Eliwood Chapter 22, Hector Chapter 23) and will give the player advice as to where treasure is hidden in the desert.

Fargus

Class: Berserker

Fargus was an infamous pirate who captained a ship called the Davros. Operating out of the Lycia's port town of Badon, he was an ambitious and constantly sought new challenges. He also seemed to be the most prominent pirate in the area, despite his age. It was he who helped Dart to recover from what could have been a fatal blood loss (although he waited until a holiday had ended so that a taboo against interacting with blood would be lifted). Afterwards, Dart became a loyal member of Fargus's crew.

In "The Port of Badon" (Eliwood Chapter 16x, Hector Chapter 17x), Eliwood and his company approached Fargus in order to seek passage to Valor Isle. Fargus at first charged an outrageous sum, but he also offered them a ride for free if they could pass his test by fighting through his men and meeting him by the ship. They succeeded in this test, so Fargus took them to Valor Isle. The journey was dangerous, but Fargus said he was doing this because he was getting old and hadn't had any challenges in a while. He also saw that Eliwood's men had courage and thought that they had what it took to survive Valor Isle.

Fargus's ship was attacked by the Black Fang in "Pirate Ship" (Eliwood Chapter 17, Hector Chapter 18). Fargus reluctantly had to set out of the battle in order to stop the flooding belowdecks that had been caused by the Black Fang, but he returned to the deck with the rest of his crew in time to drive off the remaining Black Fang members that Eliwood's group had not defeated. They arrived at their destination in "Valor Isle" (Eliwood Chapter 18, Hector Chapter 19), at which point Dart departed with Fargus's permission to travel with Eliwood's group.

Fargus was later called on again when Eliwood's group needed a second trip to Valor Isle in "Victory or Death" (Eliwood Chapter 30, Hector Chapter 32). If Dart was still alive, the two had a special conversation in which Fargus warned Dart to take care of himself, and Dart said that he would in gratitude to Fargus for saving his life five years ago. He regretted that Eliwood would not allow him to join in on the battles, but they did entrust Fargus with a message to deliver in the event that they died in the final battles. Fargus also briefly watched over Nils until he sent him back to Eliwood's group with an Earth Seal for them.

Guinivere

Hannah

Hannah is an elderly fortune teller. She meets up with Eliwood's group in "Chapter 14: False Friends" and, after succeeding in predicting Eliwood's current predicament, she was allowed to travel with Eliwood's company. She used her powers of divination to foresee circumstances of upcoming battles and give strategical advice, but she charged at least 50 gold per augury. But the old lady was constantly distressed by all of the dangerous places they visited, and after their trip through the desert in "Living Legend" (Eliwood Chapter 22, Hector Chapter 23), she resigned and allowed Nils to take her place.

Hanon

Hanon was one of the Eight Legends and one of the only two females (although the American release of Fire Emblem calls Hanon a male). She was a nomad of the Sacae Plains, and her legacy lived on in the form of the nomads.

Hartmut

Hartmut was one of the Eight Legends. He was the leader of the group and wielded the Sword of Seals. When he battled the Dark Dragon Idoun, he hesitated to kill her, and the sword adjusted its power to match his intentions. Instead of being killed, she was sealed away with the Sword of Seals and the Fire Emblem. He later built a temple to house the Sword of Seals and sealed it there. Then he founded the nation of Bern near the temple in order to keep watch over it.

Hassar

Hassar was a chieftain of the Lorca tribe in the Sacae Plains. He was skilled with both a sword and a bow (similar to Lyn's promoted class). Somehow he found his way to Caelin and fell in love with Madelyn, the marquess's daughter. He also formed a friendship with Wallace that doubled as a rivalry. Madelyn's father, Lord Hausen, did not approve of their love, so Hassar and Madelyn eloped to the Sacae Plains and lived a happy and peaceful life there, even having a daughter Lyn. But nineteen years later, this came to an end when the Lorca were all wiped out by an attack from the Taliver bandits. Hassar was among the casualties, but he was able to allow Lyn to escape by sending her off on a horse.

Hausen

Hausen was the elderly marquess of Caelin at the time of Fire Emblem as well as the grandfather of Lyn. He had a daughter Madelyn with his wife Lyndis prior to her death. However, he later disapproved of Madelyn's romance with the nomad chieftain Hassar. Their quarreling led Madelyn to elope with Hassar to the Sacae Plains. Hausen, who was normally a very warm and kind man, became furious and sent Wallace to retrieve them at any cost. Wallace ultimately botched the mission because he saw they were truly in love and was unwilling to ruin their relationship. Wallace spent several months in the dungeon for it, but Hausen later thanked Wallace.

Nineteen years later, Hausen received word from Madelyn that she had started a family in the Sacae Plains and that she had named her daughter Lyndis after Hausen's late wife. Hausen was overjoyed at this news, so he sent the knights Kent and Sain to find Madelyn and arrange a meeting between them and Hausen. However, at this time Hausen's brother Lundgren attempted to make a bid for the throne. He poisoned Hausen's drinks which caused Hausen to become bedridden with an illness, and he also told him that his descendants had been killed. However, in "Chapter 10: The Distant Plains", Lyn met with Hausen, being the only survivor of the massacre of her tribe. She convinced Hausen to fight off the illness and the death that was coming to him.

Hausen slowly recovered and spent much quality time with Lyn. They had many walks together in the Caelin gardens, and many said he looked like a new man. But Hausen was once more endangered one year later when Castle Caelin was invaded by Darin and his men from Laus in "Noble Lady of Caelin" (Eliwood Chapter 15, Hector Chapter 16). Held captive by Darin and Ephidel, Hausen attempted to talk sense into Darin and almost succeeded when Ephidel stabbed him. Leila was assigned to finish him off and hide the body, but she instead brought him to receive medical treatment since she was actually a spy for Ostia. Hausen lived an unknown amount of years after the game. Following his eventual death, Lyn had Caelin placed under Ostia protection.

Hellene

Helman

Igor

Jake

Murdock

Lyndis

The original Lyndis was Lord Hausen's wife. She apparently died at an early age, and Lyn (full name Lyndis, technically Lyndis II) was named in memory of her.

Madelyn

The daughter of Lord Hausen and Lady Lyndis. She became engaged to the Sacaean nomad, Hassar, against her father's wishes. This led her to elope with him to the Sacae Plains, and they lived peacefully together there. They also had a child, whom they named Lyn after Madelyn's deceased mother. She was killed during the Taliver Bandits' attack on the Lorcas.

Natalie

Reissman

Roland

Roland was one of the Eight Legends. He wielded the blazing sword, Durandal, in battle. After the Scouring, Roland became the first king of Lycia. The territory was split between his sons, which lead to Lycia being divided into the Lycian League.
