Seliph

"It's like they're being punished just because their ancestors were a part of the empire! And people are always calling them the 'family of the devil' and whatnot. ...is this is a child's handwriting on this wall? It's a prayer for the Dark Lord's revival... ...Is Loptous the only god they have?"

- Celice

Celice (セリス Serisu, translated Serlis in the older issue of Nintendo Power, the Official Localizionalized Website in Fire Emblem History, and some fan translations.), full name Celice Baldos Chalphy, is a character from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and Fire Emblem: Kakusei. The son of Siglud and Diadora, he was chronologically born in Agustria, between Chapters 2 and 3 in the events of Seisen no Keifu. He also appears as a DLC character in Kakusei, whereby he was illustrated by Suzuki Rika, the illustrator of the Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones novels in Japan.

Celice is the maternal grandson of Kurth and Cigyun, the great-grandson of Azmur, the half-nephew and stepson of Alvis, and the older half-sibling of Yurius and Yuria. He is known as the Prince of Light by the Isaacian citizens, a stark contrast to Yurius, who is known as the Prince of Darkness.

Celice is also the paternal grandson of Vylon, nephew of Ethlin, the nephew-in-law of Cuan, the first cousin of their children Leaf and Altenna, and a distant relative of Oifey.

Character History
Celice was born in Agusty during the Grandbell Kingdom's occupation of Agustria, Chagall's uprising in Madino and Silvail. Diadora made the fatal decision to leave the safe confines of Agusty to join her husband after Madino Castle was conquered. She was thereafter captured by Manfroy, essentially robbing Celice of his mother for the rest of his life. Later on in Chapter 5 of Seisen no Keifu, after the subjugation of Lubeck in Silesia, Oifey and Shanan were entrusted with the task of bringing Celice to Isaac, which was considered a safe haven at the time.

Celice grew up in the town of Tilnanogue in northern Isaac, alongside Skasaher/Roddlevan, Lakche/Radney, Lana/Mana, Lester/Dimna and Delmud/Tristan, and was painstakingly raised by Adean, Shanan and Oifey.

In the opening events of Chapter 6, Celice, accompanied by Lana/Mana, Skasaher/Roddlevan and Lakche/Radney sortied out of Tilnanogue to retaliate against the uprising of Dozel. Timely reinforcements, in the form of Oifey, Lester/Dimna and Delmud/Tristan later arrived, essentially giving Celice the upper hand in overthrowing Grandbell's control over Ganeshire. He then met Levn moments later, whereupon he is entrusted with the task of protecting Yuria.

Celice's army soon expanded in size, as it is further reinforced by Johan/Johalva, Arthur/Amid and Phee/Femina. This essentially gave Celice enough strength to defeat Danan at Rivough and free Isaac from his clutches. Levn then proceeded to recount part of Siglud's past to Celice, before making the suggestion for the army to join up with Shanan and Leaf.

In the events of Thracia 776, specifically that of the opening scene of Chapter 21, Celice made a minor appearance, in which he re-assured Leaf to entrust Conort into his army's care, allowing Leaf's troops to head for Lenster in the meantime.

Meeting up with Shanan at the Yied Shrine, Celice's army gained yet another member, a thief who goes by the name of Patty/Daisy. After breaking through Ishtore's forces at Melgen and a suprise attack by Darna, Celice's army managed to set foot upon Alster. The army then proceeded to assist Leaf, Nanna/Janne and Fin in driving Bloom out of Alster's borders, with the army further flanked by Aless, Leen/Laylea and Teeny/Linda.

Celice's army was soon forced into yet another battle with the Freeges, as Bloom sent out two armies to wrest Lenster and Alster from Celice and Leaf's control. Despite the odds playing against the army, it barely managed to kill Bloom and subjugate Conote.

Thereafter, the Thracian army attacked Manster, whereupon Celice's army rushed to the aid of the fleeing citizens and Sety/Hawk, managing to conquer Manse in the process.

During the ensuing war against Thracia, Celice's ranks was further boosted by Hannibal, Corpul/Sharlow and Altenna. After subduing the Kingdom of Thracia, Celice set his sights upon Grandbell, the land of his forefathers. As the army entered the district of Miletos, Yuria disappeared without a trace.

En-route to Chalphy, Celice's army engaged in a tough battle with the nefarious Yurius and Ishtar. The duo will eventually pull back from the battle, as either one is defeated by the army. As the army proceeded across the bridge leading into the soils of Chalphy, several dark mages were observed to pursue a bishop and a group of children. Celice then made the decision to pursue the mages, managing to slay them and rescue the fleeing group. The bishop thereafter bestowed the holy sword Tyrhung upon Celice.

Celice then faced off against Alvis in the castle of Chalphy, and managed to emerge triumphant after a long, hard battle. As he stopped by a shoreline situated a distance away from the castle, Celice met his parents for the first time in his life. A heartwarming conversation ensued from this meeting, whereby Celice learnt the truth behind Alvis' actions, in which he was essentially manipulated by the Lopt Sect. Celice then received a Life Ring as a farewell gift from his parents.

Celice is then made aware of the sheer responsibility that had befallen him, whereby he had to face off against the the dukedoms of Grandbell in order to unify it. Levn then told him the story of the previous war, whereupon Celice learnt of the need for Yuria to end the horror inflicted upon the continent. As the army neared the land of Barhara, it was revealed that Yuria had been, much like her mother before her, brainwashed by Manfroy into attacking the Liberation Army. Celice frantically issued orders to hold off attacking Yuria, as he, alongside a few members of his army, headed to Velthomer to end Manfroy's wretched life.

After successfully ridding the world of Manfroy, Celice successfully brought Yuria back to her senses. He then brought her to Velthomer in order to unlock the sacred scroll of Naga. With the sacred scroll of Naga, Yuria managed to defeat Yurius, essentially sealing away the evil of Loptous for good. Celice is thereafter crowned the new emperor of Grandbell, bringing peace back to the continent once again.
