Darin

Darin was the power-hungry marquess of Laus. Under the influence of Ephidel and the Black Fang, Darin began to conspire and prepare a rebellion against Ostia so that Laus would take its place as the superior power in Lycia. However, he wound up having to retreat from his castle with most of his men in "Chapter 14: False Friends", leaving behind his son Erik to a possible death in battle with Eliwood's friends. Darin and his forces then attacked Caelin and occupied its castle. But they were not there long before Eliwood and Hector arrived in "The Noblewoman of Caelin" (Eliwood Chapter 15, Hector Chapter 16) and lent strength to the local forces.

As his forces continued to lose, Ephidel convinced Darin to pull back once again, this time abandoning all of his remaining troops. Darin and Ephidel retreated to Nergal's stronghold on Valor Isle. Darin was left to guard the Dragon's Gate in "Dragon's Gate" (Eliwood Chapter 19, Hector Chapter 20), but he was ultimately slain in battle. He called out to Ephidel for help in his dying breath, but his cry went unanswered.

A more powerful morph clone of Darin also appeared as a boss in the final chapter, wielding the S-Rank lance Rex Hasta
