Renning

"As long as I live, as long as I am able to walk, and as long as I draw breath, I shall fight. It is my duty."

- Renning, decided to join the fight.

Renning (レニング, Reningu, Lening in Japanese versio) is a member of the Crimea Royal family, Elincia's uncle, Bastian is loyal to him, and Geoffrey is his disciple. Renning is a non-playable character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and a playable character in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He was successor to the throne of Crimea held by King Ramon, and he formed the Crimean Royal Knights, but along with the king, he was defeated in the Mad King's War. Instead of being killed however, Daein turned him into their own knight, by experimenting on him with Izuka's feral elixir. He then became Bertram (ベウフォレス), one of the Four Riders of Daein. After the Crimean Army defeated him, Bastian realized Bertram was in fact Renning.

Bastian went to Daein to find Renning in Radiant Dawn, thus meaning he was absent for most of the game until Part 4, where he reveals his discovery of Renning, still mad from the feral drug. Renning was later healed back to his true form in Radiant Dawn as a result of Reyson's Galdr of Rebirth and can join the party in an info conversation at the beginning of the Part 4 Endgame. However, he is rarely used because of his level, as other Gold Knights will be past his level by then. Interestingly enough, Geoffrey will usually have similar stats around his level despite being a Silver Knight, though Geoffrey did mention that he now held Renning's old title and that he "wouldn't give it up easiliy". Renning then said that he "would remind him why he once held that position".

At the end of Radiant Dawn, instead of becoming king, he decided to help Queen Elincia, his niece, govern Crimea.

Etymology
"Bertram" is the name of a warrior from Canto 28 of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. He is described as mad, explained by the feral potion, and serpent-like, which explains Renning's hissing when he is Bertram.
