Lugh

"If... If I don't make it through this war, promise me you'll pick up the little ones at the Elimine Church."

- Lugh in a support conversation with Lleu

Lugh is the identical twin brother of Lleu and hails from the same orphanage of Araphen as him and Chad. He is a mage, coming equipped with fire spells and eventually promoting to a sage at the player’s discretion. He joins the party in order to fight Bern, who destroyed the orphanage which he, Lleu and Chad had been living in.

Background
The son of the late Nino and Jaffar or Erk (depending on the pursued ending of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken), Lugh is the twin brother of Lleu and foster brother of Chad. His personality is the polar opposite of Lleu’s, optimistic and blithe, while Lleu tends to be gloomy and sarcastic. After witnessing Bern reduce his home to ashes, Lugh decides to join Roy’s party to punish those who took part in its destruction.

Lugh is pretty much a well rounded mage. He has nice avoid and good magic. His HP and defense are bad, but that's a trend in mages. He's considered one of the best mages, because he isn't as lopsided as Lilina and is free, unlike Hugh.

Possible Endings

Etymology
Lugh's name is identical to Irish deity represented as a mythological hero who was son of Cian and Ethlin who led the Tuatha Dé Danann to victory in the second battle of Magh Tuireadh and is revered as the High King of Ireland in the distant past. His Welsh counterpart is Lleu.
