Mycen is a reputable former soldier known throughout [[Valentia]]. Originally a Rigelian early in life, he later became a high ranking Zofian general when he later moved into the southern country. In his famed military career, he became an exemplary knight whom many have admired as the finest soldier to have ever existed. In his older years, Mycen settled down in [[Ram Village]], raising his grandson [[Alm]].
Mycen is [[Alm]] and [[Celica]]'s adoptive grandfather and a reputable former soldier. Originally a high ranking Zofian general, Mycen discovered that [[Desaix]] was killing off the heirs to the throne as they were born. He was framed for the crime and banished, but not before he saved Princess Anthiese from Desaix. Around this time, he was approached by King [[Rudolf]] of [[Rigel]], who entrusted his son Albein to him. Rudolf explained that the over-involvement of the gods [[Mila]] and [[Duma]] were leading the people of Valentia to ruin and that he intended to become a "destroyer" in order to provoke the rise of Valentia's true heroes, even if it meant having to die at the hands of his own son. Upon realizing that Rudolf was willingly consigning himself to hell for this greater good, Mycen could not refuse him.
 
   
  +
One day, the Villa of the Zofian royal family was set ablaze by [[Desaix]] in a coup of the Zofian throne. Mycen entered the burning villa and managed to rescue the young princess, Anthiese. Concerned for her half-brother, she asked if Mycen found [[Conrad]]. To her disappointment, she was the only person he could find, leaving her the sole survivor of the fire. Believed to be dead by the Zofian people, Mycen brought Anthiese to Ram Village and adopted her, renaming her [[Celica]] for her safety. For a while, he raised Alm and Celica and taught them alongside the Ram Village children, [[Tobin]], [[Gray]], [[Kliff]], and [[Faye (Shadows of Valentia)|Faye]] the art of combat. Shortly after, Desaix's crony, [[Slayde]] stumbled upon Ram Village and discovered Anthiese's survival through her [[Holy Blood|brand]] on her hand. Though he was repelled by Mycen, Mycen was forced to send Celica away for her safety once more, bringing her to [[Novis]] [[Priory]] to further prevent anyone from ever encountering her again.
Mycen dubbed his adopted children "Alm" and "Celica" and initially raised them both in [[Ram Village]], but later sent Celica away to keep her safe from Desaix. He spent the later days teaching Alm his old techniques in the peace of their village. Originally, the rebellion movement wanted Mycen to join them but he refused, claiming he wants no more part in war. Alm and his friends join in Mycen's place. Mycen then meets up with Alm at [[Zofia Castle]], encouraging him to follow the path he believes in and hints that Celica would soon be joining them in the castle, saying that both of them will free the land from its fate. When she arrives, he encourages her to speak to Alm, but leaves afterwards.
 
   
  +
During the ten years after this event, Mycen spent the years training Alm and the Ram Village children. Feeling that he was ready and properly trained, Alm asked Mycen if he could leave the village, which Mycen declined, saying that he was too green. [[Lukas]] came soon after seeking Mycen to help the [[Deliverance]], a Zofian force dedicated with overthrowing Desaix. However, Mycen was nowhere to be found. In his stead, Alm volunteered and joined the Deliverance.
He later appears at [[Rigel Castle]] after the death of Rudolf, and explains Rudolf's motives for the war. He then joins Alm's army and encourages him to hurry to the Temple of Duma in order to save Celica and end the war. After the war he became Chancellor of the One Kingdom of Valentia and served as Alm's right hand man, putting all his effort into reconstructing the land.

{{Spoiler}}
  +
After a long campaign through Zofia and Rigel, Alm lead the Deliverance all the way to Rigel Castle where he fatally wounded Emperor [[Rudolf]]. Rudolf, and later Mycen, reveals that Alm was not truly Mycen's grandson, but rather Rudolf's only son, having being entrusted into Mycen's care.
  +
  +
Further detailed in a [[Memory Prism]], Emperor Rudolf summoned Mycen shortly after his son's birth. As a long time friend of the Emperor, he informed Mycen that Alm bore a special brand on his left hand, a mark that was a sign that Alm would be the hero who would end the rule of [[Mila]] and [[Duma]] on Valentia. Rudolf then vowed that when the time came, he would become a conqueror whom his son would face and defeat in order to truly become the hero of Valentia. To do so while preventing the Duma Faithful from stopping him, he ordered Mycen to raise and train his son to become the hero who would stop him and ultimately become the hero who would end the influence of [[Mila]] and [[Duma]] over the land.
  +
  +
After the revelation of his origins and duty, Alm follows through his father's grand ambition for him and Mycen joins Alm's army to fight against [[Duma]]. In the aftermath of the war, Mycen worked tirelessly as the new Chancellor of the One Kingdom of Valentia for a few years, until he retired and was succeeded by [[Conrad]].

==Personality==
  +
A knight of great fame both in Rigel and Zofia, Mycen is a dutiful knight and often revered by the masses of both nations due to his might and chivalrous nature. He is an extremely respected individual, earning the admiration of the members of the [[Deliverance]] and the Ram Village children. Even in his much older age, his prowess in battle has never dwindled and is noted by Alm and the Ram Village children to be a particularly harsh instructor, but an effective one.
  +
  +
Kind and caring, Mycen is greatly beloved by Alm and Celica who both affectionately treat like a grandfather. Even after the truth of their relationship is revealed, both still continue to refer to him as Grandpa. He was also close to Emperor [[Rudolf]] as he was the sole individual in the entire kingdom and the world who knew of his son's existence. Rudolf placed great trust in Mycen to not only be aware of his grand plans for his son, but also send him away with Mycen to raise and train to carry out his plans.

Mycen is a slightly above average unit, and he can be used to replace characters who have turned out badly or died. He is the last character recruited in [[Alm]]'s route, arriving just in time for the final dungeon. His starting stats are okay. He has impressive [[HP]], [[Strength]], and [[Defense]]. While his [[Resistance]] may seem low, the fact that said statistic does not increase in the game and that only magic units and [[Kliff]] can compare with it makes him an excellent mage killer. His [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] is average. His [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] is low, and his [[Luck]] is the worst in the game. His growth rates are almost non-existent, so he is unlikely to improve much even if you try to level him. The main reason he is viable is that he is quite strong and durable, so even with his lackluster Speed, he should be able to handle fighting late game melee units.

Because he is a Lance user, he can use [[Sol (weapon)|Sol]], [[Luna (weapon)|Luna]] and [[Astra (weapon)|Astra]], three powerful spears. With one equipped, can do some pretty hefty damage. Overall, he is a good unit, and actually can hold his own pretty well in the final dungeon.

Mycen comes with decent starting stats for the point he joins in, making him a serviceable mounted unit for the last dungeon before the credits roll if you've neglected to train your other cavaliers. However, his atrocious growth rates leave him with little to no potential to improve, which makes him a borderline unusable unit for the postgame content.
  +
  +
If you insist on using him after the final battle, pitchforking is always an option, but isn't optimal; he has no future as a Mage given his awful spellpool, and will take several cycles through the mercenary line in order to max stats due to his low growth rates even with the Star Jacinth.

“Before you dream of changing the world, learn your damned place in it!”
—Mycen

Mycen is a playable character from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He is 65 years old.

Profile

Mycen is a reputable former soldier known throughout Valentia. Originally a Rigelian early in life, he later became a high ranking Zofian general when he later moved into the southern country. In his famed military career, he became an exemplary knight whom many have admired as the finest soldier to have ever existed. In his older years, Mycen settled down in Ram Village, raising his grandson Alm.

One day, the Villa of the Zofian royal family was set ablaze by Desaix in a coup of the Zofian throne. Mycen entered the burning villa and managed to rescue the young princess, Anthiese. Concerned for her half-brother, she asked if Mycen found Conrad. To her disappointment, she was the only person he could find, leaving her the sole survivor of the fire. Believed to be dead by the Zofian people, Mycen brought Anthiese to Ram Village and adopted her, renaming her Celica for her safety. For a while, he raised Alm and Celica and taught them alongside the Ram Village children, Tobin, Gray, Kliff, and Faye the art of combat. Shortly after, Desaix's crony, Slayde stumbled upon Ram Village and discovered Anthiese's survival through her brand on her hand. Though he was repelled by Mycen, Mycen was forced to send Celica away for her safety once more, bringing her to Novis Priory to further prevent anyone from ever encountering her again.

During the ten years after this event, Mycen spent the years training Alm and the Ram Village children. Feeling that he was ready and properly trained, Alm asked Mycen if he could leave the village, which Mycen declined, saying that he was too green. Lukas came soon after seeking Mycen to help the Deliverance, a Zofian force dedicated with overthrowing Desaix. However, Mycen was nowhere to be found. In his stead, Alm volunteered and joined the Deliverance.

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

After a long campaign through Zofia and Rigel, Alm lead the Deliverance all the way to Rigel Castle where he fatally wounded Emperor Rudolf. Rudolf, and later Mycen, reveals that Alm was not truly Mycen's grandson, but rather Rudolf's only son, having being entrusted into Mycen's care.

Further detailed in a Memory Prism, Emperor Rudolf summoned Mycen shortly after his son's birth. As a long time friend of the Emperor, he informed Mycen that Alm bore a special brand on his left hand, a mark that was a sign that Alm would be the hero who would end the rule of Mila and Duma on Valentia. Rudolf then vowed that when the time came, he would become a conqueror whom his son would face and defeat in order to truly become the hero of Valentia. To do so while preventing the Duma Faithful from stopping him, he ordered Mycen to raise and train his son to become the hero who would stop him and ultimately become the hero who would end the influence of Mila and Duma over the land.

After the revelation of his origins and duty, Alm follows through his father's grand ambition for him and Mycen joins Alm's army to fight against Duma. In the aftermath of the war, Mycen worked tirelessly as the new Chancellor of the One Kingdom of Valentia for a few years, until he retired and was succeeded by Conrad.

"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Personality

A knight of great fame both in Rigel and Zofia, Mycen is a dutiful knight and often revered by the masses of both nations due to his might and chivalrous nature. He is an extremely respected individual, earning the admiration of the members of the Deliverance and the Ram Village children. Even in his much older age, his prowess in battle has never dwindled and is noted by Alm and the Ram Village children to be a particularly harsh instructor, but an effective one.

Kind and caring, Mycen is greatly beloved by Alm and Celica who both affectionately treat like a grandfather. Even after the truth of their relationship is revealed, both still continue to refer to him as Grandpa. He was also close to Emperor Rudolf as he was the sole individual in the entire kingdom and the world who knew of his son's existence. Rudolf placed great trust in Mycen to not only be aware of his grand plans for his son, but also send him away with Mycen to raise and train to carry out his plans.

The main reason he is viable is that he is quite strong and durable, so even with his lackluster Speed, he should be able to handle fighting late game melee units.

Because he is a Lance user, he can use SolLuna and Astra, three powerful spears. With one equipped, he can do some pretty hefty damage. Overall, he is a good unit, and actually can hold his own pretty well in the final dungeon.

If you insist on using him after the final battle, pitchforking is always an option, but isn't optimal; he has no future as a Mage given his awful spellpool, and will take several cycles through the mercenary line in order to max stats due to his low growth rates even with the Star Jacinth.

Trivia

  • Though Mycen does not qualify as a traditional definition of the Jagen archetype, he plays a role similar to one in the prologue chapter of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. While Alm, Celica, and their friends can deal minimal damage to the enemy soldiers in the battle, the encounter is designed so that Mycen must take on the burden of protecting the children, letting them get what experience they can while he clears the battlefield.
  • Even though he has yet to appear in Fire Emblem Heroes, he's mentioned by Alm and Celica when they reach Level 40 at 5 stars.
  • Mycen shares his English voice actor, Doug Stone, with Gilbert from Three Houses.
