Reyson

4

After being rescued by the Hawks from the Serenes Massacre, Reyson developed more aggressive, fiery personality traits considered unbecoming of a heron, much to the chagrin of those around him. He ate meat though it made him sick, trying to develop a more hearty constitution like the hawks who rescued him, and broke all the bones in his hand punching Oliver. He is more inclined to violence than other herons, despite negative emotions still having a detrimental effect on him. As a result of the Begnion citizenry being directly responsible for the Serenes Massacre, he thus bore an antipathy for the Beorc race who slaughtered his compatriots, to the point where he was willing to sing a Galdr of Destruction. However, after reuniting with his sister Leanne, long thought to be dead, and interacting with Ike and the others, his intense feelings gradually changed. So much so that before the final battle, he shared his determination to defeat Ashnard with Ike.

King Ashnard

0

Born a prince of Daein, Ashnard was highly unlikely to succeed as a King of Daein as he was among the youngest sons of Daein's twelfth king. After the mysterious deaths of his elder brothers and his father, Ashnard was left to become Daein's thirteenth King. Under his rule, Daein became a militarized government emphasizing physical superiority, most notably under a doctrine of "might makes right." After many shifts in his military structures, Ashnard has posed himself as a looming conqueror for Tellius in order to ignite a continent spanning war. Ashnard's goal is to obtain Lehran's Medallion, the Fire Emblem, which holds the spirit of a dark god that thrives on chaotic energies. Although he obtains the medallion and makes numerous efforts to sow the seeds of war across Tellius, he is ultimately defeated by the Greil Mercenaries despite being able to use the medallion to gain god-like power. Ashnard's wyvern mount is in fact not a wyvern at all, but the warped form of Rajaion, the prince of Goldoa, a Black Dragon laguz, and Ena's fiancé as well as the brother of Ashnard's de facto wife, Almedha. Before becoming king, he was a great warrior who was able to almost single-handedly grant victory to Daein in a minor conflict between Daein and Begnion. His rise to power was considered highly unlikely, because a long list of other relatives stood ahead of him in line for the throne. Although it is publicly believed that a major illness led to the deaths of the other potential rulers, in reality, they were all killed by Ashnard.

Sephiran

0

Sephiran was once known as Lehran, the thousand year-old heron who supported the Three Heroes in their fight against the Dark God Yune. It was thanks to Lehran's suggestion that the Goddess Ashera decided to seal Yune within the medallion that would one day be known as the Fire Emblem, rather than erase her entire existence. In exchange, he, along with others, took a vow that there would be no war for a thousand years. The plan was that, after that period, and should both Beorc and Laguz follow through on the promise, Ashera would become one with Yune again, forming the original goddess of creation, known as Ashunera, or the Goddess of Dawn. At the onset of the Mad King's War, Sephiran set out to observe the state of affairs in Crimea, in the guise of a simple monk. During his travels, he arrived in a small village and found Brom and Nephenee, who had been injured in combat, and worked to heal their injuries, but for doing so, he was captured by Daein forces and imprisoned in Canteus Castle. He was scheduled for execution by the Daein forces, but was released a day before his execution date when Ike and the Greil Mercenaries led an assault on the castle to free its prisoners. After a conversation with Ike he left, and it was not until his arrival in Begnion that Ike learned from Sanaki of his identity as the prime minister. At the conclusion of the war, Sephiran arrived in Melior and met with Ike following Ashnard's defeat, where Ike told him of his (erroneous) findings about Ashnard's role in assassinating Misaha and causing the Serenes Massacre, had Mist pass on the galdr of release to convey to Sanaki, and in return Sephiran informed him of the identity of the "Altina" he sought, Sanaki. Bitter from centuries of witnessing human cruelty—specifically the Serenes Massacre—he orchestrated major conflicts across Tellius, including the Mad King's War, to hasten the awakening of the goddess Ashera for a final judgment of the world.

Ike

0

is the legendary Radiant Hero and leader of the Greil Mercenaries, the son of Greil and Elena and elder brother of Mist. Shortly after joining the Greil Mercenaries, he became the leader after his father's passing and led the group in protecting Crimea's errant Princess Elincia and in combatting the invasion force of Daein, winning the trust and respect of his allies in both laguz and beorc nations. Three years later, after completing a job with Bastian to save Lucia from falling victim to Ludveck's civil war, Ike and the Mercenaries were hired by Gallia's army in their war with Begnion, where he came into conflict with Micaiah of Daein. Ike strives to live up to his father's reputation and become an expert swordsman so that he may one day avenge his father's death by defeating the Black Knight.

Tibarn

0

Blessed with a strong physique that is extremely rare for a hawk, Tibarn ordered the hawks to plunder both Begnion noble and merchant ships in the sea of Gazaleah in retribution for the massacre at Serenes Forest –which was perceived as an ultimate betrayal against the Laguz. They quickly came to be feared as the "Shipless Pirates" –though they would only raid Begnion ships. The neighboring Kingdom of Kilvas, however, would raid almost any ship, resulting in giving them all a bad reputation. Despite this, Tibarn would still tolerate their neighbor's actions up until The Mad King's War. While sheltering the former king of Serenes and Reyson, Tibarn witnesses the Apostle's actions in helping aid in the search of Princess Leanne and the eventual restoration of Serenes Forest. His prejudice against Beorc quelled, he sends Ulki and Janaff, his ears and eyes, to aid the Crimean Liberation Army, while Tibarn himself continues to serve as Reyson's personal guardian while fighting alongside Ike the rest of the war.
