Ike

A kindhearted but stoic young man who has taken command of his father's mercenary band. Wields the axe of his father, Greil.

Ike takes command of the Greil Mercenaries after the death of his father, Greil, who is slain by the mysterious Black Knight. Initially mocked for his inexperience by members such as Boyd and Shinon, Ike proves himself through rapid growth and determination, especially as the threat of Daein’s invasion looms. After Greil’s death, his promotion to commander drives a wedge with Shinon and Gatrie, who leave the company, unwilling to serve under someone they see as unworthy. Despite this, Ike matures quickly into a capable leader, earning loyalty and respect as he begins working under Princess Elincia as her personal guard and strategist.

He leads the Greil Mercenaries across Tellius to aid Elincia in reclaiming Crimea, forming alliances with the Laguz of Gallia and the Apostle Sanaki of Begnion. With these alliances, Ike becomes the leader of the Crimean Liberation Army and directs its campaign against Daein. During this time, he reveals that he kept his father’s weapon, the divine blade Ragnell, which he uses in a fateful duel against the Black Knight within Nados Castle. The confrontation ends in the tower’s destruction and the presumed death of the Black Knight.

Ike eventually defeats Mad King Ashnard, ending Daein’s tyranny and securing Elincia’s ascension to Crimea’s throne. For his role, he is named the “Patriotic Hero,” though he reluctantly accepts and later discards the noble title bestowed upon him. Having lived most of his life as a mercenary, Ike values freedom over formality and avoids court life whenever possible.

Blunt and straightforward, Ike inspires trust with his sincerity and action. While initially unsure of his leadership, his unwavering support for allies, regardless of race or status, earns him loyalty from both Beorc and Laguz. Unlike most of his kind, Ike shows no prejudice toward the Laguz, gaining their trust through genuine respect and selfless acts, such as protecting Ranulf from abuse. His moral clarity and disdain for injustice lead him to join the Laguz Alliance against the corrupt Begnion Senate.

Despite his strong ideals, Ike is pragmatic and grounded. He distrusts nobles due to their vanity but learns to see individuals like Elincia in a different light. He is known for his hearty appetite and dislike of excessive talk, preferring to let his actions speak for him. Though hardened by war, he remains protective of those close to him and driven by an enduring sense of justice.

Appearance: Ike is a tall, broad-shouldered young man with a muscular build. His hair is medium-length, spiked, and dark blue, matching his sharp blue eyes. He wears a yellow cape draped over his shoulders, fastened at the front and flowing down his back. His outfit consists of a black tunic with gold trim layered over a blue undershirt, cinched at the waist with a brown leather belt that also secures a red cord. A single blue pauldron guards his left shoulder, attached with leather straps across his chest. His hands are protected by green gloves, and he wears white trousers beneath layered armor: blue and silver greaves with brown accents covering his shins and knees.

Ike uses an axe. It is called Urvan.

He is an infantry unit. He is currently a member of the Order of Heroes.

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.

Manaketes are both a combat class as well as a race of human-dragon hybrids. Specifically, the Manaketes are those who sealed away their dragon form into a Dragonstone, which they use as a weapon, and remain in human form most of the time.
