Naesala

"N-no... This cannot be... Is this...my...fate? What of Kilvas--"

- Naesala dying as an NPC in chapter 19 of Path of Radiance

Naesala (ネサラ, Nesara?) is the King of Kilvas. He is a greedy and seemingly untrustworthy individual who betrays and joins with the laguz many times. This is due to a blood contract that the previous king of Kilvas signed.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Naesala is first seen helping Daein men try to raid a Begnion ship. All he really wants is treasure, however, and the second Daein begins to lose to the Greil mercenaries, he sends his ravens in to loot the ship. Later, he is seen attending the meeting of the Laguz Kings. Soon after he betrays Reyson by selling him to Oliver, but it is later revealed that he planned to rescue Reyson afterwards. However, Reyson escapes from Oliver before Naesala can rescue him.

In chapter 19, he personally appears on the battlefield to fight Ike and his troops. After he talks to Janaff or Ulki, he will learn that Reyson is on Ike's side and that Leanne is alive. Instead of attacking any of Ike's forces, he will approach Reyson personally. Although Reyson refuses to to talk to him initially, Naesala admits that he wronged Reyson. Reyson decides to forgive Naesala as long as he recalls his troops from attacking Ike's forces, and Naesala complies. Later he disguises himself as a Daein soldier and rescues Leanne from Gritnea Tower in chapter 28: Twisted Tower, telling her that he is glad that she is alive. Before the final battle, Nealuchi reminds Naesala that Reyson and Leanne are counting on him, so he reluctantly decides to help Ike's forces.

He is one of the three laguz that can be chosen during the last chapter.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, he seems to have rebuilt his friendships with Reyson and Leanne. However, Lekain uses the Blood Pact to force him to betray the Laguz Alliance and he tricks Tibarn and the Pheonician army him into attacking the Begnion Central Army, while they were only supposed to attack its supply convoy. While Tibarn and the Pheonician army are distracted, the Kilvas army attacks the undefended Pheonicis and massacres its civilians.

Naesala subsequently returns to Begnion, where he works for the apostle Sanaki. Because she outranks Lekain, Naesala escaped the threat of breaking the blood pact. He saves Leanne and Nealuchi when they attempt to defend him from Skrimir. During a conversation with Micaiah, it is revealed that he has feelings for Leanne. After the game's end, he abdicates his rule of the raven clan and works as a diplomat for Tellius. If he and Leanne reach an A-level support, they will marry and have two children, a heron girl and a raven boy.

Naesala has the skill Tear.
