!Laus

!!Lord Darin of Laus
The Marquess of Laus. Entranced by Ephidel's promises of power, he attempts to incite a civil war against Ostia for the role of leader of the Lycian League. When it backfires on him, he flees for Valor and is placed in charge of the defense of the Dragon's Gate.

->'''Class:''' General
----
* AGodAmI
* AlasPoorVillain: For all that he'd done, even ''Hector'' pitied him after his death. Once Nils reveals how Ephidel slowly corrupted him for Nergal's malicious ends, it's not as easy to hate him anymore (even if he's still a dick). [[spoiler:Then he's brought back as a Morph, much to the appalled horror of the Lords.]]
* BladeOnAStick: Has a spear [[spoiler: and the Rex Hasta (in the Final Chapter)]]
* [[spoiler:CameBackWrong: In the final chapter's BossRush.]]
* ClimaxBoss
* DirtyOldMan: Poor Priscilla...
* [[DiscOneFinalBoss Disc Two Final Boss]]: His defeat marks the end up Eliwood's search for his father, and the beginning of much greater concerns.
* DrivenToMadness: He ''was'' [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant and unpleasant]], but loyal to Lycia prior to his involvement with the Fang. Erik confirms this when captured and interrogated.
%%* {{Expy}}: Of Prince Shagaal from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Genealogy of the Holy War]]''.
%%* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile: When he's killed as a Morph.]]
%%* {{Jerkass}}
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Abandoning his son and heir Erik to his own luck, upon Ephidel's pressure. To his credit, Darin himself doesn't like it either, but he still does so.]]
%%* LargeHam: Steadily becomes one.
* MightyGlacier: As a General, he has very high defense at the cost of speed. Even more so [[spoiler: as a Morph.]]
%%* SmugSnake
%%* ThisCannotBe
%%* VillainousBreakdown
* TinTyrant
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Darin's hair is purple.

!!Erik of Laus
The son of Lord Darin, and a former classmate of Eliwood and Hector. Both jealous of their abilities and dismissive of them, he volunteers to lead the defence of Laus to try to lull them into a false sense of security.

->'''Class:''' Cavalier
----
* AscendedExtra: In [=FE6=], he was a minor early-game boss. Here, he gets some more screen-time and personality, and even a minor role in the plot.
* BladeOnAStick: His Silver Lance is his go to weapon.
* DrivenByEnvy: This pretty much defines Erik. He was Eliwood, and Hector's friend when they were young, but came to hate them for excelling farther then him.
* {{Jerkass}}
* HeelFaceTurn: It's implied he becomes a decent ruler at the game's end.
** [[spoiler:HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: It doesn't stick as ''the Binding Blade'' shows.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Not much better than his dad.
** [[spoiler:GenerationXerox: And in ''Fuuin'', he also opposes the heroes.]]
* MotiveRant: Gives one in his battle conversation with Eliwood, and Hector about how he hates them for outshining him.
* SavedByCanon: Owing to his appearance in [=FE6=].
* SmugSnake: Tries to act all buddy-buddy with Eliwood to lead him into a trap, but he sees right through it. Nor did Erik count on Hector dropping in at that moment to inquire about all those Laus soldiers that happen to be hiding out nearby.
* SoleSurvivor: He is the only enemy boss in the game, and one of few in the series, to survive to the end.

!!Bauker
The commander of Laus's Imperial Guard, tasked with the exterior defence of the seized Castle Caelin.

->'''Class:''' Knight
----
* AntiVillain: He's noted to be very gentlemanly when not in combat.
* BadassMoustache
* TheEvilGenius: To Darin, most likely.
* GracefulLoser: Calmly comments he's lost.
* NobleDemon
* WakeUpCallBoss: Has suprisingly high defenses, to the point where it's difficult to take him out with anybody except the Lords.
* WorthyOpponent

!!Bernard
The Knight Commander of Laus, tasked with the occupation of Castle Caelin.

->'''Class:''' General
----
* BadassBeard
* TheBrute
* TheDragon: As Knight Commander, this was presumably his role toward Lord Darin. Subverted in that Darin's abandoned him by the time we meet him, and it's implied the Black Fang replaced him with Cameron.
* EvilRedhead: Though he's not really ''evil''...
* GracefulLoser: "This is a just reward... for Laus's brutality..."
* NobleDemon
* PunchClockVillain: Strongly implied to have wanted no part in his lord's conquest, but MyCountryRightOrWrong...
----

* DrivenByEnvy: This pretty much defines Erik. He was Eliwood, and HEctor's friend when they were young, but came to hate them for excelling farther then him. Erik even gives a motive

* HeelFaceTurn: Its implied he becomes a decent ruler at the game's end.
