Eliwood

Marquess of Pherae. After overcoming the death of his father, Elbert, he foils Nergal's wicked ambitions with his comrades.

Eliwood is born to the noble house of Pherae. His father is Lord Elbert and his mother is Lady Eleanora. His childhood best friend is Hector, the younger brother of Uther, the Marquess Ostia. Eliwood met Hector at a young age when the two attended school together during a meeting between the lords of Lycia. In accordance to a warrior's tradition, the children of the lords were ordered by Erik of Laus to cut their hands and shake them with one other child of their choosing. Eliwood and Hector chose each other, and, as they grew older, their friendship developed as well, with them sparring since the age of twelve once every two months.

Shaken by Elbert's death and the revelation that Nergal intends to bring dragons back into the world, Eliwood and his comrades decide to seek aid from Ostia's Marquess Uther. While Uther is unable to provide direct aid to the group, he points them to the Nabata Desert to seek "the living legend". After another long journey, Eliwood's army enters a mysterious structure in the desert, where they encounter an Archsage, revealed to be Athos. After seeking the advice of the wizened sage, Eliwood's army is warped back to Lycia in order to continue their fight against the Black Fang.

After reuniting with his mother, at her behest, Eliwood decides to spend a day to rest in Pherae. Soon after, Eliwood's army sets off for Bern disguised as inconspicuous travelers in order to attack the headquarters of the Black Fang. However, the lords find their way deterred by the legendary Four Fangs of the Black Fang. In addition to slaying many of the members of the Black Fang, Eliwood ends up having to solve a problem in Bern's ruling class: Queen Hellene requests that Eliwood retrieve the Fire Emblem back from the Black Fang in exchange for granting him passage to the Shrine of Seals. After retrieving the Emblem and stopping a plot to slay Prince Zephiel, Eliwood is granted passage to the Shrine. He journeys deep within the earth to retrieve Durandal, a legendary sword and the eponymous Blazing Blade, once wielded by Roland, the founder of Lycia.

After retrieving Durandal, Eliwood's army encounters an Ice Dragon. Durandal, acting on its own, slays the dragon with a single blow. Nergal appears on the scene shortly after Athos ponders over the identity of the dragon, where he gleefully informs Eliwood that the dragon is actually Ninian. Crushed by the gravity of this horrible truth, Eliwood despairs as he holds Ninian's dying body in his arms. Eliwood continues to press onward regardless, this time burning with the resolve to stop Nergal. After repelling one last desperate attack from Nergal in Ostia, Eliwood returns to Valor and faces off against Nergal for the last time.

Eliwood is an idealistic pacifist who, despite his charismatic disposition and natural talents for leadership, is frequently seen as naïve, or rather, as someone who needs protection. He is a very smooth and polite person who remains calm and helpful throughout conversations. He is quite casual and does not judge people at all; he looks at people for who they are and truly cares about all of the soldiers in the army. On his journey, he is very determined to succeed, first to find his father and then to avenge his father's death.

Eliwood himself states that he thinks of everyone in the group as an irreplaceable friend, regardless of gender, age, or social status. Although he is of quite high standing, he often tells others not to treat him as a lord, but as an equal. Eliwood often tries to be supportive to others' problems and tries to act as both a leader and a friend.

The perception of him as vulnerable and naïve by his comrades prompts his own knights, including Marcus and Harken, to urge him to stay out of battle, imploring him to let them deal with the enemies by themselves. Even Hector, at one point, remarks that Eliwood is not suited for long-distance travel. Though aware of his physical limitations, Eliwood still prefers to remain on the battlefield, as he feels that he must fight, not only as a leader, but also because he considers it to be a duty that he absolutely cannot shirk from.

While Eliwood does struggle to deal with his physical frailty amongst other problems that he faces throughout his journey, he does not shy away from forming meaningful bonds with the members of his army. He is known to offer a listening ear to the concerns of his troops, as evidenced through his supports with Fiora, where he asks if she is comfortable with the duties that she performs as a combatant.

It is in the same conversation that Eliwood is also shown to be very much aware of the inescapable difference between his status and that of people not born into nobility. While he expresses the idealistic notion that he sees himself and his army's members as equals, he recognizes that these words are ones spoken from a position of privilege.

There are four unit types: Armored, Cavalry, Flying, Infantry.

Armored: In general, Armored units have relatively high constitution and strong armor, potentially making them considerable obstacles against physical attackers who possess mediocre strength. Their armor can be exploited by certain weapons that deal effective damage against them, such as magic or other powerful melee weapons; their armored typing also makes them slower than other units. Cavalry: Fast units that attack while on horseback. They are very fast an can cover a lot of distance. Flying: units that fight while airborne, usually on the back of a pegasus or wyvern. They can fly over most obstacles. Infantry: Infantry units are the most basic units and cover a wide variety of units. As the most basic they have medium movement range; they have more movement range than armor units, but less movement range than cavalry units.
