History Characters / ElibianNights

* ArcherArchetype: Comes across as distant, but is far from unfeeling.

* TheLancer: [[IncrediblyLamePun Any puns aside]], he fulfills the role with Kent. Fittingly, Kent prefers swords as his weapon of choice.

* BladeOnAStick: As a Halberdier, he can only wield lances. In return, he receives the same +15 critical boost as Berserkers and Swordmasters.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a Spear as an auxiliary weapon, granting her ranged capacities with decent force.

* BladeOnAStick: Has a Spear equipped by default for ranged sniping.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a Spear for ranged combat. [[spoiler:On Regalia Mode, he wields the sacred lance [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Gáe Bolg]] in battle, which makes him a physically ''terrifying'' powerhouse to face due to the +10 Str/Def it provides.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: Pavor, his custom-made bow that puts to sleep anyone struck by its arrows. The effect is explained by Prasad's skills as an apothecary.

* TheLancer: [[IncrediblyLamePun Any puns aside]], he fulfills the role with Kent. Fittingly, Kent prefers swords as his [[WeaponOfChoice weapon of choice]].

* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:Upon being anointed the Red Crane of the Four Fangs, Nando is given Excalibur, the regalia wind tome formerly wielded by Ursula.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:Hrunting, a regalia sword formerly wielded by Lloyd Reed of the Four Fangs.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: This lady swings a ''Silver Poleaxe'' around on the battlefield and can still double any of your ally units below 16 Speed.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a Tomahawk into battle, making him a potentially nasty opponent.

* AnAxeToGrind: He can purchase a Short Axe from the armory in Pt. 1, although his preference goes out to swords.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a Brave Axe as his strongest weapon, which lets him deal great damage with successive strikes.

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:Implied to be Ursula's successor. See [[{{Foil}} Foil]] above.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:The original Four Fangs had no bow wielder among them, although her stoic attitude and black clothing hints at her being Jaffar's successor.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:Shares traits with all known members of the Reed family: Brendan's wisdom (and facial hair), Lloyd's calm disposition and Linus's Hero class. Generally, though, he looks to be Lloyd's successor.]]

* StandardStatusEffects: Can inflict sleep with his custom bow, Pavor.

* KickTheDog: Is implied to treat his wife Lenore horribly. He doesn't even love her, and [[ArrangedMarriage]] their marriage was arranged by their families]] [[MarriageBeforeRomance in order for Montresor to enter the noble circles of Bern again.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Wields the sacred bow Yewfelle from [[FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar the Jugdral games]].

* DirtyCoward: Hides behind a one-tile barrier of rocks, allowing him to snipe from a distance with less fear of being hit in return.

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:In spite of his severe leg injury, Jerrot is determined to continue fighting, even if it means having to fight on horseback. Now, consider what his class is in [[FireEmblemTheBindingBlade The Binding Blade...]]]]

* NoSell: Holds an Iron Rune, negating Jerrot's potential for him to land a {{Critical Hit}} on Tybalt.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a Spear for ranged combat. [[spoiler:On Regalia Mode, he wields the sacred lance [[FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Gáe Bolg]] in battle, which makes him a physically ''terrifying'' powerhouse to face due to the +10 Str/Def it provides.]]
* TheBrute: '''And how.''' Calling him a brute is putting things very, ''very'' lightly. This man earned his moniker of Ash General for a reason: He ordered for an entire village to be burned down '''to find a single deserter.''' Many innocent civilians have died to satiate this madman's bloodshed. So many lives have been taken under his rule that even King Desmond, who is quite possibly the most massive scumbag in [[FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade The Blazing Blade]], felt Montresor's aggression was too much, and had him succeeded by Murdock.

!!Gaufrid

A Halberdier of Caelin, and Kent's right-hand man during the latter's tenure as Steward of Caelin.

->'''Class:''' Halberdier
->'''Tale:''' Caelin in Turmoil

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Stands out as the character with the darkest skin tone in the entire game. Gaufrid is not the only character with dark skin, but is much darker than the likes of Opal.
* BladeOnAStick: As a Halberdier, he can only wield lances. In return, he receives the same +15 critical boost as Berserkers and Swordmasters.
* CriticalHit: Comes armed with a Killer Lance, which adds another 30 points to his base critical rate, pumping it up to ''45 crit'' when wielding it.
* TheLancer: [[IncrediblyLamePun Any puns aside]], he fulfills the role with Kent. Fittingly, Kent prefers swords as his [[WeaponOfChoice weapon of choice]].
* TrueCompanions: With Kent, being his second-in-command and most trusted ally during Kent's time as Steward of Caelin.

!!Nando

An Etrurian Mage Knight and scholar of noble descent who left his old life behind and joined the Black Fang.

->'''Class:''' Mage Knight
->'''Tale:''' Ivory Flower of Light

* AmbiguouslyBrown: One of the lighter examples, but Nando has a noticeable tan to his skin tone, although not to the same degree as his colleague Opal.
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:The crane.]]
* BlowYouAway: [[spoiler:Excalibur, which Legault hands to him in tandem with his new position among the Four Fangs.]]
* CulturedBadass: Nando is the most culturally refined character of the new Black Fang, as well as being the sharpest-dressed. In his conversation with [[spoiler:Dieter]] in Pt. 2, Nando expresses his desire to become a historian by archiving the events of the present, thus writing the new chapters in the history books of Elibe.
* {{Foil}}: To Ursula, who herself belonged to the Four Fangs. Firstly, both are mounted [[RedMage Red Mages]], although Ursula was of the female-only Valkyrie class, while Nando is a Mage Knight instead. Secondly, [[spoiler:their titles continue the avian theme, although with opposite colors; Ursula was the [[RedBaron Blue Crow]], while Nando is the [[RedBaron Red Crane]].]]
* PlayingWithFire: Can be given the Elfire tome dropped by the enemy Sage in Pt. 1.
* RedBaron: [[spoiler:The Red Crane of the new Four Fangs.]]
* RedMage: A mounted one capable of using Anima magic and healing staves, with a preference for the former.
* ShipTease: With Opal, [[ShipperOnDeck when Legault tells them they're a perfect pair]].
* ShockAndAwe: The armory in Pt. 1 lets him purchase a Thunder tome, as well as [[ThatOneAttack Bolting]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:Implied to be Ursula's successor. See [[{{Foil}} Foil]] above.]]
* SquishyWizard: While his Resistance is good and his Defense decent, his HP is quite lacking, meaning two physical blows can easily fell him.
* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:Upon being anointed the Red Crane of the Four Fangs, Nando is given Excalibur, the regalia wind tome formerly wielded by Ursula.]]

!!Opal

A Sniper belonging to the Nabatan bandits, a clan that collectively joined the Black Fang.

->'''Class:''' Sniper
->'''Tale:''' Ivory Flower of Light

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has a noticeably bronze skin; darker than Nando, but nowhere near Gaufrid's level of dark. This is due to her heritage as a desert tribeswoman.
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:The fox.]]
* ArcherArchetype: Comes across as distant, but is far from unfeeling.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' call her sweetheart, unless you want an arrow through your skull.
* ChildhoodFriend: With Igrene. Unfortunately, Igrene had to part ways with her to succeed her father as the Guardian of Nabata, while Opal's clan all joined the Black Fang.
* LongRangeFighter: Par for the course as a Sniper in ''Fire Emblem''. What makes Opal a particularly strong case, though, is the Longbow she can be given in Pt. 1, as the Longbow has 3-5 range in ''Elibean Nights'' compared to the standard 2-3 range.
* NatureHero: Gives off vibes of this, what with her Nabatan heritage and exotic appearance.
* RedBaron: [[spoiler:The Shadow Fox of the Four Fangs.]]
* ShipTease: With Nando, [[ShipperOnDeck when Legault tells them they're a perfect pair]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:The original Four Fangs had no bow wielder among them, although her stoic attitude and black clothing hints at her being Jaffar's successor.]]

!!Everett

An Ilian Hero who lost his family a long time ago, joining the Black Fang to find a new place to call home.

->'''Class:''' Hero
->'''Tale:''' Ivory Flower of Light

* AnAxeToGrind: He can purchase a Short Axe from the armory in Pt. 1, although his preference goes out to swords.
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:The snow leopard.]]
* CrusadingWidower: Everett lost his wife, Amanda, and their son, James, some time before the start of the tale. He considers the Black Fang his new family.
* HeroesPreferSwords: A literal case, as he is of the Hero class and only wields swords by default.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: [[spoiler:Hrunting, the blade once wielded by Lloyd, is easily capable of eating Halberdiers alive in spite of the weapon triangle disadvantage, since it deals effective damage to enemies with light armor.]]
* OlderAndWiser: Is much older than Nando and Opal, possibly older than Legault as well, and is described as being very wise.
* RedBaron: [[spoiler:The Snow Leopard of the Four Fangs. Appropriate given his Ilian heritage.]]
* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:Shares traits with all known members of the Reed family: Brendan's wisdom (and facial hair), Lloyd's calm disposition and Linus's Hero class. Generally, though, he looks to be Lloyd's successor.]]
* WeaponOfChoice: [[spoiler:Hrunting, a regalia sword formerly wielded by Lloyd Reed of the Four Fangs.]]

!!Dieter

A Cataphract of Bern, loyal to House Fafnir. Perhaps a bit ''too'' loyal.

->'''Class:''' Cataphract
->'''Tale:''' Ivory Flower of Light Pt. 2

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a Brave Axe as his strongest weapon, which lets him deal great damage with successive strikes.
* BladeOnAStick: Has a Spear equipped by default for ranged sniping.
* DeconstructedTrope: The [[LawfulGood Lawful Good]] alignment and [[MyMasterRightOrWrong the Camus]] [[MyCountryRightOrWrong archetype]] from the official series. When Dieter became a knight of Fafnir, he pledged his loyalty to House Fafnir, in particular Duke Galahad and Duchess Lenore. However, Galahad eventually died, and Montresor made his way back into Bern's inner circles through an arranged marriage with Lenore. Dieter ''knows'' Montresor is about as fiendish as they come, and yet, his vows of loyalty to House Fafnir prevent him from taking action against Montresor. [[spoiler:Eventually, Legault or Vaida can coax him into performing a [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turn]]; Legault even has to remind Dieter where his loyalty ''truly'' lies, namely with House Fafnir, Duchess Lenore and the late Duke Galahad, not with some madman who married his way into the family. Upon being reminded, Dieter gladly joins forces with the Black Fang.]]
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:Mentioned to be the new Duke of Fafnir in the closing cutscene of ''Ivory Flower of Light Pt. 2'', implying Dieter and Lenore are now married.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: See [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed Trope]] above. It should be noted, though, that Dieter is by no means evil, and in fact a very noble man.
* KnightInShiningArmor: [[spoiler:Has always wanted to be this for Lenore, his duchess. He gets the chance, as revealed in the post-battle cutscenes.]]
* LadyAndKnight: [[spoiler:While Dieter has always been in love with Lenore, she ends up reciprocating for real after Montresor's defeat.]]
* LawfulStupid: Montresor pretty much tells Dieter that the latter is this.
* ThePaladin: Motif-wise, he fits the bill, although his class is Cataphract. He used to be a Paladin in the older builds due to an oversight.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: The entire point of Dieter's character. He knows Montresor is an utter bastard, and yet, refuses to defect due to his knightly vows. Montresor himself outright states [[LawfulStupid Dieter has always taken his knightly vows too seriously for his own good]].

[[folder:Enemies and Bosses]]
!!Onslow, King of Thieves

The leader of the Bolm Mountain Bandits, a bandit group that has been harassing Pherae for a long time. His life's goal is to overthrow the Pheraen royal family and rule as king, having taken up the title ''King of Bandits'' in advance.

->'''Class:''' Rogue
->'''Tale:''' Lost Resolve and Rebuilding Pherae

* BadBoss: Has no qualms sending hordes of his own bandit troops to battle while not caring for what would happen to them in the slightest.
* BigBadDuumvirate: In a sense, with his subordinate Wagner.
* FragileSpeedster: As a Rogue, his Speed is his key asset, allowing him to double your characters almost all the time.

!!Khitan

The patriarch of the Djute clan of Sacae, longtime enemies of the Kutolah. He aims to destroy his rival clan, preferably from within.

->'''Class:''' Nomadic Trooper
->'''Tale:''' Homecoming

* ArchEnemy: '''The Kutolah.''' Khitan's description states he "[p]rofoundly hates the Kutolah", which shows in his desire to eradicate the clan, so that the Djute may rise to become all-powerful in Sacae.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: Wields the sacred bow Yewfelle from [[FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar the Jugdral games]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Hires a Summoner into screwing with Prasad's mind, drawing out the latter's urge for revenge on the Kutolah, which would serve to Khitan's benefit.]]
* ThatOneBoss: In part thanks to Yewfelle giving him amazing (read: maxed-out) Strength and Skill, allowing him to one- or two-shot a good deal of your available units.

!!Prasad

A member of the Kutolah clan. [[spoiler:Something looks off about him, and the truth is quite grim.]]

->'''Class:''' Nomadic Trooper
->'''Tale:''' Poisoned by Madness

* DirtyCoward: Hides behind a one-tile barrier of rocks, allowing him to snipe from a distance with less fear of being hit in return.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: [[spoiler:Performs this on Lyn, forcing her to partake in his schemes, all to lure out the Kutolah forces.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Invites Lyn over to a hillside where he claims to stand every night, explaining the situation of his parents' murder at Dayan's hands, and sneakily sedates Lyn when her guard is down. Prasad is then faced as the boss of the chapter.]]
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Blames Dayan for the murder of his parents, and claims to be tortured by their screams of agony every night. In reality, they were Bulgar assassins hired by the Djute to destroy the Kutolah, which Prasad does not believe at first.]]
* StandardStatusEffects: Can inflict sleep with his custom bow, Pavor.
* WeakButSkilled: Relative to Rath, Prasad doesn't deal as much damage, but can inflict sleep with Pavor, which lets him lay the smackdown on his foes much more easily.
* WeaponOfChoice: Pavor, his custom-made bow that puts to sleep anyone struck by its arrows. The effect is explained by Prasad's skills as an apothecary.

!!Hervor

The bastard granddaughter of Lundgren, Lyn's granduncle. A woman of amazing power and ambition.

->'''Class:''' Paladin
->'''Tale:''' Caelin in Turmoil

* ActionGirl: A villainous example. Hervor is described in-game as "[a]n ambitious, adamant woman", which shows in her willingness to give Caelin back to its people by staking a claim to the throne and instigating [[CivilWar civil war]]. On top of that, her elegant yet imposing appearance might remind one of traditional Valkyries as described in Norse mythology, especially the wing ornaments in her hair.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Hervor will do anything to preserve the state of Caelin rather than seeing it annexed by Ostia. That immediately becomes her undoing, as she falls in battle to Kent's forces.
* AnAxeToGrind: This lady swings a ''Silver Poleaxe'' around on the battlefield and can still double any of your ally units below 16 Speed.
* BladeOnAStick: Wields a Spear as an auxiliary weapon, granting her ranged capacities with decent force.
* CivilWar: Instigates one with a group of Caelin preservationists, hoping to dethrone Kent and give Hervor the throne.
* HeroicBastard: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Hervor is Lundgren's bastard granddaughter, and he never acknowledged her as his own, but deems her birthright strong enough to stake a valid claim to the Caelin throne.
* LightningBruiser: Oh, hell yes. While her Str seems middling for a boss, her Silver Poleaxe has ''16'' Mt, and her Speed is high enough to either double some of your units or hit them with a single powerful strike. Furthermore, her high HP and defenses coupled with the Knight Ward grant her great durability, making her quite the threatening boss to face.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hervor genuinely has the best intentions for Caelin and supports the part of the populace that wishes for Caelin to remain its own territory rather than being annexed by Ostia. However, [[AmbitionIsEvil she is willing to do ''anything'' for the Caelin throne]], going as far as to instigate [[CivilWar civil war]] in order to achieve her goals. Additionally, in contrast to her grandfather Lundgren, Hervor acts in the name of the people who want to see Caelin preserved as its own state, while [[SarcasmMode her dear old gramps]] only wanted power.

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[spoiler:Implied to be Ursula's successor. See [[Foil Foil]] above.]]

* ActionGirl: A villainous example. Hervor is described in-game as "[a]n ambitious, adamant woman", which shows in her willingness to give Caelin back to its people by staking a claim to the throne and instigating [[CivilWar civil war]].

* AnAxeToGrind: This lady swings a ''Silver Poleaxe'' around on the battlefield and can still double your own units if you're unlucky.

[[folder:Playable characters]]

* Foil: To Ursula, who herself belonged to the Four Fangs. Firstly, both are mounted [[RedMage Red Mages]], although Ursula was of the female-only Valkyrie class, while Nando is a Mage Knight instead. Secondly, [[spoiler:their titles continue the avian theme, although with opposite colors; Ursula was the [[RedBaron Blue Crow]], while Nando is the [[RedBaron Red Crane]].]]
