An unnamed young woman from a village in Aurelis who appears in Episode II of Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga and New Mystery of the Emblem's New Archanea Saga. During the opening of the episode, she is kidnapped by a Macedonian deserter who in the process also assaults her lover. She is taken to Ruben's fortress and was held hostage there along with other women.

In Archanea Saga, you are able to visit Ruben's fortress and rescue her. She expresses her gratitude in dialogue upon visiting, to then reward the player with one-thousand points to their total score and a vulnerary. However, the ability to visit the fortress was removed for New Mystery of the Emblem, making it impossible to save her.

City man

An unnamed shady man in Knorda Market that appears in Episode III of Archanea Saga. When Lena was left alone in the market as Rickard went to look for mercenary to hire, she was approached by this man whom claimed that he needed her for something. Lena tried to politely tell the man to leave, but he refused and grabbed her.

Navarre arrived and told the man to leave Lena alone, when the man refused, Navarre drew his Killing Edge and the man now realized he was dealing with Navarre and scurried off, never to return. Based on his behavior and location, it can be inferred the man was a slaver or involved in some sort of shady business.

This character is voiced by Hideyuki Hori in Archanea Saga.

Lena's grandfather is a former court priest of Grust who hails from a family that passes down the Hammerne staff.

When Lena was around the age of ten, her grandfather raised her to become a cleric in Grust. Due to his old age and weakened state, Lena aided him in the country's borderlands. Later, Lena's grandfather was visited by Marth in villages near the Grusthold and Arverne Castle, during the War of Shadows and War of Heroes respectively. In both instances, Marth was provided the Hammerne staff for Lena or Marisha, her apprentice, to wield.

It is uncertain if Matthis is related to Lena's grandfather. Compared to Lena, who is given an adoptive status with her and Matthis's father in Macedon, Matthis is given no such a distinction.

Slave merchant

The slave merchant is a minor NPC in the original Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem, both times appearing in the Knorda Market chapter. The slaver worked in the markets of Knorda at the edge of town and claimed to sell a variety of slaves. By the time of the map's beginning, the slaver only had a bunch of kidnapped young boys left to sell.

When Marth arrived to the slaver's dwelling, the trafficker attempted to sell Marth some children, but when Marth made his opposition on slavery clear and upon realizing that Marth was the leader of the Archanean League, the slaver fled the scene.

Marth subsequently released all the young boys only to find out that one of them, was in-fact, a teenage girl in disguise. The teenage girl subsequently revealed herself as Linde, the daughter of the legendary pontifex, Miloah. Linde had disguised herself as a young boy, but had been captured by the slaver until Marth freed her.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the slaver and the whole slavery market plot line is removed, instead it is replaced by a ruffian (who uses the same portrait as the above Ruffian) capturing Archanean citizens for unknown reasons.

In Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, the slaver is an edit of the portrait used by Manakete bosses, whilst in Mystery of the Emblem the Slaver has a unique portrait that resembles an old woman.

Flashy Men

The flashy men are minor characters from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

When one is spoken to in either Zofia Castle (Alm's party) or Zofia Harbor (Celica's party), he grants players the Seven Sword on the first encounter and Eleven Shield on the second encounter, as well as six random provisions from this pool:

Possible provisions from the flashy man
	Item
	Boiled Chicken
	Moist Bread
	Spicy Chicken
	Mille Crepe

Lex's reception of the Brave Axe is also based on the fable of the Honest Woodman, as Lex receives it as a reward for honesty when presented golden and silver axes.

In Genealogy of the Holy War, the only game where this character physically appears in, she shares her portrait with Lahna.

Elibe

Aesha

Aesha (Japanese: アイシャ Aisha) is a minor character mentioned in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. She was a Black Fang member who was slain by Legault due to new regulations set in place in the time after Sonia married Brendan and began taking control of the Black Fang. She is only mentioned by name by Legault in his support conversation with Matthew after the latter prodded Legault for his motivations.

During a mission that took place an unspecified time before Chapter 19/20, she was severely wounded, which prevented her from acting as an assassin any longer. Legault was soon ordered to kill her, in accordances with the law of the Fang. Legault followed through on this order, despite having strong misgivings, and later deserted the group due to this.

Due to being only mentioned secondhand, nothing is known of Aesha's mannerisms. She is known to have been a member of the Black Fang for an unspecified number of years, and appears to have been one of the more senior members of the group.

Elder of Arcadia

The Elder of Arcadia is a minor character that appears in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. He was previously a dragon, but no longer considers himself as such.

He first appears when Roy enters Arcadia's temple. Upon hearing his words, the elder was shocked about the fact that Bern allied itself with dragons, but also felt that dragons can only exist within Arcadia. He also mentions that due to his age, he is unable to detect evil forces like Sophia can. Afterwards, when Fae wants to go with Roy and Igrene, the elder doesn't let her, as he didn't want the world to know about her existence. Regardless, Fae still decided to follow them in secret.

After the final chapter, if Idunn was spared and Fae is still alive, he makes his second and last appearance when Roy visits Arcadia again. He reveals that since the conclusion of the war, he let Fae go outside more often, and he and the other villagers managed to restore Idunn's soul, albeit not fully. He also expressed awareness that the dragons captured Idunn during the scouring, but his concerns about leaving the village prevented any effort to save her. He later states that he will continue to get Idunn's heart and soul restored, with the first step being to have her show emotion.

Igor (Japanese: イーゴリ Igor) is a minor character in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and a member of the Black Fang. He only appears in a cutscene in Linus's version of Chapter 23E/24H.

While in a village in Bern, Lloyd and Linus Reed spot Eliwood and company, and Lloyd leaves to report to Brendan Reed, ordering Linus to await his return before engaging them. Once Lloyd has left, Linus orders Igor to begin fighting Eliwood without endangering any of the villagers. Igor is hesitant to disobey Lloyd's order, but acquiesces; Igor approaches Eliwood and initiates battle between him and the Black Fang.

Igor appears to be loyal to Lloyd and is hesitant to disobey his orders, but is willing, if begrudgingly, to follow contradictory orders from Linus. He also appears confident in Linus's fighting abilities.

Igor's portrait is a recolor of Glass, the boss of Chapter 2.

After giving Nino a pendant with a picture of her family he leaves and is never seen again.

According to Nino, who affectionately calls him "uncle", Jan is not one to anger and is a kind man, being the opposite of the impulsive Reed brothers. He seems to have cared greatly for the Fang.

Marquess Araphen

Marquess Araphen is a minor character that appears in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He holds a strong grudge against the people of Sacae.

The only physical appearance of Marquess Araphen is at the end of Chapter 6, where Lyn and her group meet him. Despite initially wanting to help Lyn to stop her granduncle, Lundgren, from claiming Caelin, he immediately withdrew his offer after realizing she is half-Sacaen, leading to Lyn no longer wanting his aid. When she and her group left, Rath, a mercenary the marquess hired, resigns his job as the captain of the castle guard after overhearing his insulting remarks towards Sacaens. Marquess Araphen is not seen again afterwards.

As Araphen was attacked by Bern in The Binding Blade, it is highly likely that he was killed alongside the other marquesses.

Marquess Araphen shares his base portrait with Aion, the boss of Chapter 18xE/19xH, though Aion is recolored.

In that case, the base conversation "The Three Brothers" is unlocked the following chapter, during which Rolf's mother trespasses into the Laguz Alliance's camp in order to see Rolf, wanting him to come back and live with her. Oscar relays her request to Rolf, who rebukes her offer and asks that she leave the camp.

Twelfth King of Daein

Gender Male Race Beorc Family Hengist (ancestor) Ashnard (son) Soren (grandson) Unnamed wife (deceased) Many unnamed children (all deceased) Nationality Daein Title(s) King of Daein Appearance(s) Path of Radiance Radiant Dawn

The Twelfth King of Daein is a background character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn; he was the father of Ashnard, as well as the king of Daein before Ashnard took the title. In order to take the throne, Ashnard convinced his father to sign a blood pact with a traveling wise man (possibly Lehran), under the pretense of procuring the wise man's services. Ashnard then had the wise man invoke the blood pact's curse, leading to the deaths of over a thousand Daein citizens, including all of the royal family, save Ashnard and the king. Ashnard then murdered the king himself and destroyed the blood pact, sparing himself from the curse.

Bryce served as the king's retainer for 20 years. The king had many children with multiple women - the Daein royal family had around 20 princes and princesses before the blood pact's curse killed them all, and the queen was Ashnard's stepmother. Indeed, despite being the king's son, Ashnard was never considered for the throne before the blood pact culled the rest of his family, with many of his siblings presumably taking precedence.

Hortensia's mother

Hortensia's mother was one of the mistresses of King Hyacinth of Elusia. She was favored by the king due to her positive and graceful demeanor, causing her to be despised by the Queen of Elusia, Ivy's mother—this in turn led to her getting mistreated by the queen and those who sought her favor. Despite this, she maintained her positive demeanor and eventually managed to win over the queen, which allowed her daughter Hortensia to be openly accepted as a child of Hyacinth and sister to Princess Ivy. She passed away when Hortensia was seven years old.

Hyacinth's brother

An unnamed prince of Elusia is Hyacinth's older brother, and previous heir apparent to the Elusian throne. When the time of succession came, Hyacinth openly opposed the older prince's claim to the throne. Despite the best efforts of his retainer Lindon to argue in his favor, the older prince ended up losing his claim to the throne and, in frustration, left the country.

Zero Emblem

The Zero Emblem (Japanese: 零番目の紋章士 Zeroth emblem person), also known as the Emblem of Foundations (Japanese: 礎の紋章士 Emblem person of foundations), is an Emblem originating from Sombron's home world. When Sombron was exiled to Elyos after his family was slaughtered, he took the Zero Emblem's ring with him. However, Sombron could not summon them in a form that allowed speech, much like the Dark Emblems. After Sombron befriended some local villagers, the Zero Emblem's power faded altogether, only leaving behind their ring. Sombron's desire to gather Elyos' twelve Emblems lies in the belief that their combined power, allowing him to travel to other worlds, would lead him to a world where he can be reunited with the Zero Emblem.

It is said that the Zero Emblem fought alone in life, having no allies despite their ambitions, which offered comfort to Sombron, who was alone in a new world. As the Zero Emblem could not speak under Sombron's power, the reason for their disappearance ultimately remains unknown.

In the Fire Emblem Engage manga, the Zero Emblem is shown during Chapter 40; in this appearance, their design closely resembles that of Anri.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Hvergel

Hvergel was the first queen of Nifl, the Kingdom of Ice. She pleaded for aid from the Ice Dragon Nifl, who granted her power via her blood to the first queen to save her people. During this time, the two became very close, Hvergel having made Nifl loving towards mortals. Múspell, the Flame Dragon and Nifl's enemy, chose to curse Hvergel with his flame because of their closeness, entering her in a suffering heat until she was mercy killed by Nifl. Fearing that her presence would bring harm to Hvergel's descendants, she became closed off once more, dueling with the Flame Dragon in a battle that reduced the both of them to their realms.

Líf

Líf (Japanese: リーヴ Líf) was the founder and first king of Askr. During his time, he formed a pact with the Divine Dragon Askr, granting his bloodline the ability to open gateways to other worlds. He was also involved in the Aether Keep, a flying castle used by ancient Askrans to battle against the Aether Keeps in other realms, aiming to attain power over the heavens. While he initially acted serious and kept his distance from others, he began to open up as he grew closer to Askr, eventually forming a friendship with him. Líf's name would be used by his descendant, the Alfonse of another world, after the death of his world and his subsequent servitude under Hel.

Menja

Menja (Japanese: メニヤ Menja) was Helbindi's younger sister. Surtr used her as a bargaining chip for Helbindi's loyalty. Surtr eventually found Helbindi's performance against Askr and Nifl unsatisfactory and burned her and the rest of Helbindi's home to the ground.

Thrasir

Thrasir (Japanese: スラシル Thrasir) was the first emperor of Embla. She was a powerful witch who was said to be able to destroy a realm by herself, and is described by Askr as wise, strong, and kind. During her time, she formed a pact with the Divine Dragon Embla, granting her bloodline the ability to close gateways to other worlds. Thrasir's name would be used by her descendant, the Veronica of another world, after the death of her world and her subsequent servitude under Hel.

Veðrfölnir

Veðrfölnir (Japanese: ヴェズルフェルニル Veðrfölnir) was the first jötun, who granted her power to the people within the realm of jötun. Her people, later founding Jötunheimr, became giants with superhuman strength and waged war against one another. Disapproving of their recklessness, Veðrfölnir took the form of a shining bird and hid within a forest, eventually being forgotten as the war between Jötunheimr and Niðavellir left the land she rested on ceded to the Dvergar.

When Þjazi seeks her out once more for power to crush Niðavellir, Veðrfölnir grants her power to Dagr, forming a pact that she would burn to ashes if using her power unjustly. Her bird form appearing over Dagr's shoulder, her consciousness was put to rest.
