“Were my heart my master, I would do exactly as you say. But what sort of knight abandons his kingdom-his king!-now, when they need him the most?”
—Camus

Camus (カミュ, literally Kamyu) (later known under the aliases Zeke (ジーク) and Sirius (シリウス, Sirius)) is the leader of the Sable Knights of Grust. His liege decided to ally with Doluna and, despite his sense of honor and integrity, he obeyed his country and fought against Marth. He is said to be the most able warrior alive.

Story

Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi

When Grust forged an alliance with Doluna, he did not protest, unlike General Lorenz. When Nyna was sent into the Sable Order's custody, and when Doluna ordered for her execution, Camus took her to Aurelis so that Hardin could protect her. When Akaneia was looted, one of the Three Regalia, Gradivus, was given to Camus. Unfortunately, for incurring the wrath of Medeus by helping Nyna escape, he was put on a short leash. When Nyna explained all these events to Marth, he knew Nyna wished for Camus to be spared, but even when Marth and Nyna asked him together to join the Akanean League, he denied the request and fought Marth's army, where he was seemingly killed.

Gaiden

In reality, he survived, lost most of his memories, and ended up in the continent of Barensia, where he washed ashore and was found by Teeta, a Rigelian saint who he would later fall in love with. In a years time, "Zeke", the name given to him by King Rudolf, forged a common trust with the King and rose to become a high ranking general in the Rigel army. He opposed the war with Sofia, which led to Teeta being captured in order to force him to fight. When he learns that Teeta is safe and after he notices a mark on Alm's right arm, one that belonged to the person who would save Rigel, according to Rudolf, he joins Alm's army. After the war Zeke lived a happy life with Teeta and recovered his memories, although he did not tell her this.

Monshō no Nazo

He would return to Akaneia as the masked knight Sirius the following year, when he heard of Hardin's ascension to throne and fall to madness, and of his appointment of the corrupt General Lang to rule over the occupied Grust. He first appeared to Ogma when the latter was protecting the Grustian royal children Yumina and Yubello from Medon's Vikings, and is asked to join the Altean army fighting Lang. While he notes that he is not promising anything, he joins the army once the Vikings are defeated. Later on, due to his true identity, he was able to snap Nyna out of her mind control from Medeus despite denying to her that he is Camus. She protests, but he states that she is tired and should return to Marth's side, followed by an apology which she overhears. After the war he vanished, claiming to Nyna that he was returning to his country and that someone was waiting for him there.

Aliases

“.....! Empress... I think you’re mistaken. I am Sirius, a soldier of the allied army. I don’t know anybody called Camus...”
—Sirius to Nyna

According to Gaiden's official timeline, Zeke shows up on Barensia the same year as Camus's "death" and leaves the same year as Sirius's "introduction", as well as his only memory when arriving in Barensia was that he was wounded in battle. As for Sirius, although he outright denies being Camus to Nyna, he does reveal his true identity, though only to Belf after being pressured to do so.

However, he comes earlier in the game and should be kept out of battles as he can commit experience stealing. However, he is useful later in the game with his high weapon ranks and will usually end up with considerable HP and Strength and will have a lot of Skill and Defense for a Paladin. Keep in mind that he is needed for the Final Chapter to recruit Nyna. Archetype In Ankoku Ryu ti Hikari no Tsurugi, there was a strong Paladin late in the game who was honorable and kind and seemed to hold no ill towards Marth's army, but fought out of loyalty to his country. Since then, there has been a enemy general who holds no ill will towars the player's army, and may even have loved ones or friends in that army, but continues to fight due to loyalty to his or her nation or lord. List of Camuses There are others who are considered Camuses, but this is the generally agreed upon list. Eltshan (FE4 First Generation) Ishtar (FE4 Second Generation) Reinhardt (FE5) Brunya (FE6) Galle (FE6) Uhai (FE7) Lloyd (FE7) Linus (FE7) Selena (FE8) Shiharam (FE9) Hetzel (FE10) Levail (FE10) See Also Murdock - A character and archetype who starts out that Murdocks are usually a General (or similar type of unit or military rank) who hold a certain amount of respect for and from several players units and NPCs, but die in the story nevertheless and may even hold some amount of ill will towards the player. Endings Fire Emblem Gaiden (As Zeke) In the midst of a violent battle, his memories returned. However, perhaps for the sake of Teeta, whom he had fallen in love with, Or perhaps because his past overflowed with great tragedy, There was much he never revealed... Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo Book 2 (As Sirius) Masked knight Sirius After the war he vanished without speaking a word... Trivia Camus, alongside the Whitewings, has made the most appearances in the Akaneia Series, appearing more then even Marth, Shiida, Nyna and Hardin. Before being encountered on the battlefield Marth can encounter Camus in a village during Chapter 14, Land of Sorrow. He gives Marth the Thoron Tome which he instructs Marth to give to Boah. In the event recap of Shadow Dragon this scene is named "Mysterious Knight". His age is given as 26 or above in the novel by Takayashiki Hideo. Etymology Camus is a Basque surname. In folklore, Camus was a Scandinavian general who fought the Scots at the Battle of Barry. The name Camus derives from 'Camuston', the location of the Camus Cross. Sirius, also known as the wolf, refers to the constellation of the same name. It comes from the Greek word Seirios ("scorcher"). Zeke is the short form of the name Ezekiel ("God will strengthen"), a prophet from the Bible. In Katakana, Zeke (ジーク) can also been translated as "Sieg", which means victory.
