Pent (Japanese: パント Pant) is an Etrurian nobleman and scholar hailing from House Reglay, the greatest of the Etrurian noble houses, who served as the Mage General of Etruria 980 years after the Scouring. He served as an apprentice to the archsage Athos of the Eight Legends, and often spent long periods away from Etruria to study under him in Arcadia. He and his wife, Louise, joined forces with Eliwood, Hector and Lyn on their quest to defeat Nergal and used his noble connections to assist them in gaining passage to the Shrine of Seals. Decades later his children, Klein and Clarine, would ally with Eliwood's own son, Roy.

Biography
Count of Reglay

Some time after assuming the mantle of Marquess of Reglay, Pent searched for a wife and gathered up to twenty women as possible candidates for marriage. Of these women, the one who won his hand was the then-fourteen-year-old Louise, whose pledge to use her skills with the bow to protect him earned the scorn of the other women in attendance, but won him over with her sheer honesty. The two were married soon after.[1]
Roughly three years prior to his mission with Eliwood, Pent was appointed the Mage General of Etruria, and soon after took on the then-twelve-year-old Erk as his apprentice. However, the demands of his job frequently took him away from Castle Reglay, leaving Louise to take care of Erk.[2] Pent eventually made the acquaintance of Athos, the archsage from the Scouring, who took him on as an apprentice. Pent and Louise frequently travelled between Etruria and Nabata to both study under Athos and fulfill his duties as Mage General.
At about the same time that Elbert disappeared from Pherae, Pent learned about some strange occurrences on the Isle of Valor, and he hired a squadron of Pegasus Knights under the command of Fiora to investigate these disturbances further. Unfortunately, Pent did not realize how powerful Nergal or his minions were, and nearly all of the squadron was killed in action; only Fiora survived.[3]
When Priscilla, the adopted daughter of Count Caerleon, learned that her brother might be living somewhere in Lycia, Pent volunteered Erk's services as a bodyguard to help her in her search.[4]
Assisting Eliwood
During one of his visits to Nabata, Pent searched the desert to find an unidentified artifact buried in it, but after finding it he was accosted by the bandits Paul and Jasmine, who demanded he give it up. He refused and fought back against their band, with the assistance of Eliwood, Hector and Lyn, who had just arrived in Nabata themselves. After the battle, he took them to consult with Athos, the "living legend" they sought. When Athos gave the three the mission to find the Shrine of Seals, Pent and Louise volunteered to join them on this mission to Bern, with Pent being intrigued by the prospect of fighting Nergal.
Around the same time that they arrived in Bern, Pent and Louise also had a diplomatic obligation during their visit: to attend the festivities surrounding the coming of age of Bern's Prince Zephiel. Being that Louise was distantly related to Zephiel through his mother, Hellene, Pent and Louise paid a visit to Hellene and consoled her over the crisis facing her. Hellene offered to listen to the group's request, on the condition that they found the missing Fire Emblem. After a visit to Bern Keep led to Eliwood and his group being attacked by a Black Fang army led by Vaida, Pent and Louise volunteered to actively fight alongside Eliwood and gave him a Heaven Seal. He and Louise continued to serve under Eliwood, Hector and Lyn for the remainder of the conflict, even blowing off a need to return to Etruria and file a report on the Shrine of Seals.[5] By the time of the final battle, Louise had become pregnant with their first child.
Athos's successor
Athos died shortly after Nergal's defeat, and Pent chose to resign from his post as Mage General to allow himself time to focus on continuing Athos's research. Pent chose Erk as his successor in the role, who refused at first, but eventually succeded him.[6] Afterward, he and Louise largely retreated from public life in Etruria, and within a year of the battle with Nergal, Louise gave birth to their first child, Klein.
When Klein was four years old, the Reglay family attended a gladiator match at the largest arena in Aquileia, during which Klein escaped into the arena pit and was attacked by a lion. He was saved by Dieck, then a young gladiator, who was severely scarred by the lion for his efforts. Out of gratitude, Pent and Louise hired Dieck into their service and began to treat him as a member of the family. Two years into his time with them,[7] Dieck abandoned the Reglay household after rumors and gossip about their treatment of Dieck started to circulate around Etrurian nobility.[8] During this time, Louise gave birth to their second child, Clarine, who was still very young when Dieck left.[9]
While both of their children were actively involved in the Disturbance of Bern as soldiers fighting under Roy, Pent and Louise paid little attention to the conflict even as the rest of Etruria was embroiled in the Revolutionaries crisis.[10]
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Role
While he never appears in person, Pent is mentioned in passing in several of Klein, Clarine and Dieck's support conversations, as he is Klein and Clarine's father.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Role
Pent first appears as a NPC in Chapter 22E/23H. Part of the chapter's goal is to ensure he survives, as his death is an automatic Game Over, although in practice Pent is much more powerful than the chapter's enemies and will rarely need the help. Rather, he kills enemies at such a high rate that he runs the risk of stealing the experience needed to enter the side quest.
Pent later automatically becomes playable in Chapter 24E/26H, along with Louise. If Pent is defeated at any time, Louise will also leave the party, and vice versa.

Playable Chapter 22E/23H (NPC)
Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Pent is a pre-promoted Sage who joins in Chapter 24E/26H. He has excellent bases in every area, and joins with A rank in both anima magic and staves, giving him the ability to wield almost any anima tome (with the exception of the S-rank tome Excalibur, which he can easily attain the required weapon level for), and access to every staff in the game at base, including Warp. He joins with a Physic, which he can put to good use right away. Because of the low enemy quality and high enemy density in The Blazing Blade, Pent stands out as an excellent combat unit thanks to the relatively low speed and resistance of most enemies allowing him to one round most of them without much issues. Pent is also unusually durable for a magic user, boasting a decent 33 HP and 11 defense at base, along with decent growths in both areas. As such Pent is rarely threatened by any enemy, aside from the few enemy Druids wielding Luna, but most units are threatened by them.
Pent starts with an automatic A support with Louise, giving him useful bonuses. However, if Louise falls in battle, Pent will also leave the party, and vice-versa. As such, care should be taken to keep Louise out of the line of fire; Louise does still have better survivability when near Pent due to their support, but unlike Pent she should not be exposed to multiple enemies at once as she lacks 1-2 range.
Overall, thanks to his excellent combat and staff utility it's difficult to call Pent anything but one of the best units in the game. His only real issue is his somewhat low availability, but he will still contribute well on any map from his joining chapter to the end.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
There are two different variations of Pent available to Heroes, both based on his storyline appearance in The Blazing Blade. The normal variation of Pent is one of the characters added to the game in the Treachery update, and became available for summoning by players on April 6, 2021. A groom variation of Pent was first made available to be summoned by players on May 21, 2019 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the Bridal Belonging update. Pent is one of a very few characters to date who had a special variation made available to players before their normal variation in which the normal variation has actually been added to the game, another example being Louise.

Personality
Pent behaves unusually for a nobleman. For all his talents and the high esteem Etruria holds him in, he appears to consider the obligations of his bearing secondary to his scholarly pursuits. He freely admits that he and Louise are very frequently absent from Etruria for long periods of time with no warning or excuse given to the court.[11] Even in the middle of being attacked by bandits, he tends to be unconcerned and, when talked to, act as if nothing in particular is happening around him.[12] In the event that his attempt to learn about the Shrine of Seals failed and turned Bern against him, he was prepared to abandon everything and live on the run with Louise, even considering the idea a romantic one.[13] He is also self-deprecating, and despite being considered the finest mage in Etruria, he believes himself to be contributing little to the effort to oppose Nergal, especially compared to Athos.[14] Even when severely wounded, he is more worried about the safety of his friends and allies than his own safety.[15]
Pent's true passion is scholarship and research. Pent has a bad habit of obsessing over his research to the point of ignoring all else and failing to even eat.[16] Accordingly, he is also an avid reader, often picking up any book he finds even in the middle of a battle.[17] Despite not being a practitioner of dark magic, Pent has a strong scholarly interest in the art to the point of owning so many books on the subject that he was surprised to have never read one which he loaned from Canas.[18] At the same time, he acknowledges that there is a latent darker side to both his obsession with knowledge and magical research and that of many others, but believes himself to be stronger than that lure.[19]
Supports
- Main article:
Pent/Supports
When recruited, Pent automatically has an A-rank support with Louise. This cannot be disrupted in any way, ensuring they always have their paired ending together. As a result, Pent's supports with other characters can only go up to B-rank.
Owing to their status as being already paired together, Pent and Louise do not follow the ordinary support conversation rules, but rather have unique equivalent conversations which occur in specific chapters: their C-rank conversation happens in Chapter 27E/29H, their B-rank in Chapter 30E/32H, and their A-rank in the second part of the Final Chapter. The second conversation will not occur if the first did not, and the third will not occur if one of the other two did not.
|
Endings
Pent, Mage General and Louise, Lady of Violets
When Athos died, Pent took over his research. To focus on his studies, Pent resigned as mage general of Etruria. This action set the palace in an uproar, but Pent and Louise endured.

| Status: Count Reglay | Weapon: Anima Magic, Staff | |||
|
A great aristocrat who lives in the pursuit of magic. The Mage General of House Reglay of the Kingdom of Etruria. He is a man who enjoys traveling to various countries incognito, so as not to bring attention to the fact he is one of the most influential figures of Etruria. He traveled to Bern to attend Zephiel's coming-of-age ceremony with his wife, Louise. He met Eliwood in the Nabata Desert while on the way to Bern, and they traveled there together. Though Pent has an insatiable curiosity toward magic, he also understands the fearsome power of magic. Regardless, he looks up to the archsage Athos as a teacher. Having been taught by Athos' deep wisdom, and with an abundance of experience, Pent is undoubtedly a great user of anima magic. Pent and his loving wife Louise make a great pair, and helped Eliwood's party. With such devoted love for one another, it teaches young men and the army about the sincerity of their marriage. | ||||
