"I became master's student before you, and I was stronger than you. Yet, he gave Excalibur, which should have been mine, to you. Why, Merric? Is it because you're a noble of Altea? I was so angry. I believed I was going to be master's successor..."

- Ellerean to Merric

Ellerean (エルレーン Ellerean, translated Elrean in the fan translations) is an enemy and playable character in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~. He is leader of the mage army of Khadein. He is Wendell's first disciple, and Merric's bitter rival. Having aligned himself with Akaneia, he uses the war with Altea as an excuse to attack Merric. He confronts Merric, revealing that the reason Ellerean dislikes the young mage was because Master Wendell chose Merric to receive Excalibur instead, due to Ellerean's lack of a caring heart. He joins Marth's side after being shamed by Wendell, who tells him that he's following Gharnef's path by letting his jealousy overcome him. After the war, he became a High Bishop and worked tirelessly to restore the city of magic.

Recruitment

Overall
Ellerean has some really funky stats, but he is not a bad unit when trained. He has low luck, but good skill and speed. He can get very high hp; he can also get good defense, but this is compensated with unusually low resistance, meaning he should be attacking physical attackers instead of magic users.
