- Johan

Johan (ヨハン) is a character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He is the brother of Johalva and Burian, the son of Danan, the half-nephew of Lex, and the grandson of Langobalt. He is in command of Isaach Castle during the second part of the game, whereby he is in love with Larcei/Radney. He may be recruited by Larcei/Radney, but doing so will essentially cause Johalva to continue campaigning against the army out of jealousy.

Personality
Johan adopts a poetic style in his speech, which may prove to be rather comical in certain situations such as his soldiers talking behind his back. He shares the sentiments as Johalva does, in the sense that they are unable to agree with most of Danan's policies, especially that of the Child Hunts.

Overview
Compared to his brother Johalva, Johan has relatively inferior stats, but has slightly more movement due to being a horseback-type unit. This thus makes him highly recommendable for ranked runs. While Johalva has better Skill and is more accurate in his attacks, Johan possesses better Speed growths, which will better aid in his survival abilities on the battlefield.

If Johan's Axe Knight's survived they will become allied units.

Conversations
In Chapter 6, Larcei/Radney may speak to Johan and recruit him, but if this is done, Johalva may not be recruited.

In the Final Chapter, if Johan is in love with Larcei/Radney, she may speak to him, and he will gain three points of strength.

Love Growths
Original and replacement characters have the same love growths unless stated otherwise.

Recruit conversation
Johan: Larcei... My beloved, how I've yearned for this day to come. Larcei: Johan, what in the world are you talking about? Did you whack your head or something? Johan: Your words soothe like a bird's song... You eyes sparkle like stars in the sky... The thought of being without you I cannot bear. Larcei: Stop! You're grossing me out! You're on the battlefield, you know. Don't lose it here! Johan: My unremitting love for you is strong enough to cross the bounds of insanity! Let our troops know we're taking sides with the liberation army! From this day forward we'll be fighting for love, justice... and Larcei!

Battle Conversation

Vs Johalva

Johan: Sigh... Johalva... It makes me sad to have a little brother as foolish as you.

Johalva: You're the foolish one, but that's irrelevant. I knew that this day would come sometime! Now let's finish this!

Johan: As you wish!

VS Burian

Burian: Johan! You Traitor! Are you trying to destroy the Dozel's name?

Johan; Don't worry brother, I am currently restoring our rightful name, unlike you. Time for you to step aside.

Burian: Why you....

Etymology
Johan and his brother Johalva derive their names from Irish mythology. Tuireann had three sons with his daughter Danand (Danan), which included Brian (Burian), Iuchar (Johan) and Iucharba (Johalva), who killed Lugh's father Cian. After Lugh took his revenge by killing the three brothers, Tuireann wept over their graves.
