—Battle Quote with Seliph
Danann is an enemy character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He is the son of Lombard, the half-brother of Lex, the father of Brian, Iuchar, and Iucharba, and the King of Isaach for the period of time from the Battle of Belhalla to Seliph's uprising in Isaach.
Danann is mentioned by Lombard in Chapter 5, who refers to him as being useless, as he is unable to quash a small uprising in Isaach. Danann eventually ascends the throne, whereupon he rules with an oppressive hand, going so far as to lower the social class of the Issacian people to that of slaves. When Seliph initiates the liberation of Isaach in Chapter 6, Danann attempts to stop him. Unfortunately for Danann, the mighty Helswath is in Brian's capable hands at the time. Without his mighty axe to support him, Danann perishes at the hands of Seliph's army.

Although he possesses high physical offenses and bulk, Danann has poor attack speed, avoid and resistance. A Seliph with Sigurd's silver sword and rings or a magic user can easily roll over him and end the chapter.
