The 13th King of the nation of Daein, Ashnard wages war on [[Crimea]] in an effort to ignite a continent-wide conflict. His goal is to obtain [[Lehran's Medallion]], the Fire Emblem, which holds the spirit of a [[Yune|dark god]] that thrives on chaotic energies. Although he obtains the medallion and makes numerous efforts to sow the seeds of war across [[Tellius]], he is ultimately defeated at the end of the game despite being able to use the medallion to gain god-like power. Ashnard's [[wyvern]] mount is in fact not a wyvern at all, but the [[Feral One|warped form]] of Rajaion, the prince of [[Goldoa]], a [[Black Dragon|black dragon laguz]], and [[Ena]]'s fiance as well as the brother of Ashnard's wife, [[Almedha]]. Before becoming king, he was a great warrior who was able to almost single-handedly grant victory to Daein in a minor conflict between Daein and [[Begnion]]. His rise to power was considered highly unlikely, because a long list of other relatives stood ahead of him in line for the throne. Although it is publicly believed that a major illness led to the deaths of the other potential rulers, in reality, they were all killed by Ashnard.

In ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn|Radiant Dawn]]'', it is revealed through Ashnard's wife, [[Almedha]], that Ashnard had tricked his father, the king into signing a [[blood pact]]. When the king unknowingly broke it, many citizens of Daein perished under the blood pact's plague. Ashnard ended the blood pact by killing his father and destroying the document. One year after the plague subsided and all of the [[Daein]] royal family in succession for the throne were dead, Ashnard was crowned King of [[Daein]]. His coronation occurred 18 years before ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]''. It is also revealed that Ashnard is the father of [[Soren]].

==Personality==
 
==Personality==
 
Ashnard believes that the current society, based on Begnion's hierarchy, is wrong. He believes that one's lot in life should be solely based on their power; he tells [[Reyson]] that class and species will not matter in his world, that the strong will ultimately rule the weak. This likely explains Daein's system, where those who display great levels of might, particularly in combat, have the ability to gain much power within Daein society, regardless of class or social standing.

'''Tauroneo''': Oh, my king... In all of Daein's history, perhaps no other ruler has used the talents at his command to the degree you have... But all the same, no other king has chosen a path so incredibly stupid.<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Heh heh heh... Will history judge me to be just or evil? We will not know until all of this is finished.<br>

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
'''Ashnard''': Galdr singer, did you come here today so that I might take ownership of you?<br>
 
 
====Brawl Trophy Profile====
'''Reyson''': I have something to ask you. Were you the one who stole the medallion and my sister, [[Lillia]], from [[Serenes Forest]]?<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': You know that already, do you not? Why would you come all this way to ask something you already know? Do you wish me to deny it?<br>
 
'''Reyson''': If the dark god is awakened, the world will once again be flooded. And this time, even our continent will fall. You will not survive that event... Do you truly desire such an end?<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': I do. Oh, how I do... It's true. The world may be destroyed by the coming of the dark god. Then again, it may not. I question the way in which our society is designed. No matter what strength a person has, it is the station he is born into that controls his destiny. And you cannot control where you will be born. Do you believe that a person of low birth should simply endure the curse of his station? I think not. If you are stronger than those around you, you should benefit from your strength. This is why I will use my strength to remake this world. Class and rank will not matter. Human and sub-human will not matter. The strong will possess everything. The weak will submit to their will. Is this not the meaning of peace?<br>
 
'''Reyson''': Are you saying that the lives of those without strength have no value?<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': That is the natural order. The only way for the weak to survive is to cling to the strong. Our discussion is over. Tell me, frail little bird who cannot fight; which do you choose? Submission? Or death?<br>
 
'''Reyson''': ...Life proffered to me by your hand is something I would never accept!<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Very well... Then I will give you the alternative! You will be a weight around my neck no more!
 
 
===VS. [[Ena]]===
 
'''Ashnard''': Heh heh... Heeee heeee heh... So you're still alive, are you?<br>
 
'''Ena''': ...<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Do you really want to do this? Do you believe you can defeat me?<br>
 
'''Ena''': I... I was mistaken. You are truly mad... ...Even so... I wanted to be near you. If I could have been near you, it would have been all right...<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Did you think I would allow that? Whaaaa haa haa haaaaa!<br>
 
'''Ena''': King Ashnard of Daein. You will die at my hand!
 
 
===VS. [[Nasir]]===
 
'''Ashnard''': [...Eh? You're not human. But your aura... You're not a beast, nor a bird... You must be a dragon!] or [A white dragon! To meet with you here... Wheeee haa haa haaaa! For me, there is no greater joy!] (Depends if Nasir is transformed)<br>
 
'''Nasir''': King Daein... There is a reason I had to meet you.<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': And that is?<br>
 
'''Nasir''': I would have you tell me how to heal my warped and twisted laguz brothers. If you created them, you should know how to restore them.<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': That... That is what you want? Whaaa haaa haaa haaaaa! Fool! There never was such a cure!<br>
 
'''Nasir''': ... What have you...done... It is... already... too late...<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Tell me, dragon, were you our Worm? Heh heh heh. I see... So your goal is to stop the Goldoans from fighting. Tsk, tsk, tsk!<br>
 
'''Nasir''': We dragons are known for our wrath. Even spilling your blood today will not atone for what you have done!<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Despise me! Loathe me! Whaaa haa haa haaaaaa! I will feast on your hatred! Let your hate build, dragon! Attack me with everything you have! I know your strength is not gone yet!
 
 
===VS. [[Tibarn]]===
 
'''Ashnard''': Oh, the king of hawks! Meeting your feathered carcass here today is... Fantastic! I am so pleased!<br>
 
'''Tibarn''': As am I. I want to rake my talons across your face so much, I can hardly control myself.<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Waaaaa haaaa haaa! Heeee heee haaa! Perfect! PERFECT!!! That is what war is all about!<br>
 
'''Tibarn''': Come. Let's get started.
 
 
===VS. [[Naesala]]===
 
'''Naesala''': [Seeing you like this makes me want to forget this whole fighting thing.] or [Just thinking about fighting you makes me want to forget the whole thing.] Heck, it's not like I'm getting paid... Say... Do you want to hire me? (Depends on which form of Ashnard)<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': What's this? Do you wish to return to Daein's loving embrace?<br>
 
'''Naesala''': I do... If you agree to make me very, very rich.<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': Enough of your lies, crow. Even now, your beady eyes look to find a chink in my armor.<br>
 
'''Naesala''': Ah... you found me out. All right, let's proceed in earnest. No more tricks... Oh, look over there! Didn't work, eh? Then die, madman! I won't be doing you any favors if I let you live.
 
 
===VS. [[Giffca]]===
 
'''Ashnard''': You're the one they speak of in whispers... The lion king's shadow. What are you doing so far from your body, shadow? Am I so terrible that your king hides in fear?<br>
 
'''Giffca''': Your strength, King of Daein, [even with your medallion,] is not sufficient. That is why I am here. If I fail to stop you today, then your next opponent will be our king. But first, this imposter will measure your fighting prowess. (Depends on which form of Ashnard)<br>
 
'''Ashnard''': What impudence! Are you prepared become a pile of bones for your king? You'll make a fine snack!

Revision as of 16:45, 14 June 2020

“It's true. The world may be destroyed by the coming of the dark god. Then again, it may not. I question the way in which our society is designed. No matter what strength a person has, it is the station he is born into that controls his destiny. And you cannot control where you will be born. Do you believe that a person of low birth should simply endure the curse of his station? I think not. If you are stronger than those around you, you should benefit from your strength. This is why I will use my strength to remake this world. Class and rank will not matter. Human and sub-human will not matter. The strong will possess everything. The weak will submit to their will. Is this not the meaning of peace?”
—Ashnard, to Reyson in Path of Radiance.

Ashnard, also known as the Mad King, is the 13th King of Daein and the main antagonist of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. He wields the wicked sword Gurgurant, and his mount is the twisted body of Rajaion, the Black Dragon prince of Goldoa. He is unlocked by completing fifteen playthroughs of the game.

Ashnard appears as a Trophy and a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Profile

The 13th King of the nation of Daein, Ashnard wages war on Crimea in an effort to ignite a continent-wide conflict. His goal is to obtain Lehran's Medallion, the Fire Emblem, which holds the spirit of a dark god that thrives on chaotic energies. Although he obtains the medallion and makes numerous efforts to sow the seeds of war across Tellius, he is ultimately defeated at the end of the game despite being able to use the medallion to gain god-like power. Ashnard's wyvern mount is in fact not a wyvern at all, but the warped form of Rajaion, the prince of Goldoa, a black dragon laguz, and Ena's fiance as well as the brother of Ashnard's wife, Almedha. Before becoming king, he was a great warrior who was able to almost single-handedly grant victory to Daein in a minor conflict between Daein and Begnion. His rise to power was considered highly unlikely, because a long list of other relatives stood ahead of him in line for the throne. Although it is publicly believed that a major illness led to the deaths of the other potential rulers, in reality, they were all killed by Ashnard.

In Radiant Dawn, it is revealed through Ashnard's wife, Almedha, that Ashnard had tricked his father, the king into signing a blood pact. When the king unknowingly broke it, many citizens of Daein perished under the blood pact's plague. Ashnard ended the blood pact by killing his father and destroying the document. One year after the plague subsided and all of the Daein royal family in succession for the throne were dead, Ashnard was crowned King of Daein. His coronation occurred 18 years before Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It is also revealed that Ashnard is the father of Soren.

Personality

Ashnard believes that the current society, based on Begnion's hierarchy, is wrong. He believes that one's lot in life should be solely based on their power; he tells Reyson that class and species will not matter in his world, that the strong will ultimately rule the weak. This likely explains Daein's system, where those who display great levels of might, particularly in combat, have the ability to gain much power within Daein society, regardless of class or social standing.

In-Game

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Help Description: The Mad King of Daein. He desired to remake the world by releasing the chaos of Lehran's medallion, so that strength would dictate authority. He lost the war and his life to Crimea.
