Arran

Not to be confused with Alan or Aran

Arran (translated Aran in the Japanese version) is an elite knight from Altea who went into hiding after Doluna's take over. He can join Marth, but recruiting him bars the option of recruiting Samson, since he hides in a village which is constantly at conflict with its neighboring village. Nevertheless, even though he's not recruited, in the end of Marth's first quest, Arran was able to return to the ranks of the Altean Knights.

In the second book, Arran took over Jagen's position as the protector of the new recruits in battle. However, he was struck with sickness, which makes his prowess not as good as his previous one. After the end of the war, he finally succumbed to the illness and died.

He starts with a silver lance and a killer lance.
