—Rhys talking to Ulki in a support conversation
Rhys (キルロイ Kiruroi, Kilroy in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is a Priest who is playable from Chapter 2 of Path of Radiance and from Part 3 of Radiant Dawn onwards.
Profile
Originally just a civilian used to live a life of healing the sick in a village, he came across Titania –who was severely wounded during a mission. After nursing her back to health, he ended up joining the Greil Mercenaries.
Due to his frail conditon, he often is left to care for the mercenary fort alongside the younger members Rolf and Mist. However, he is still a valuable asset to the team who continues to support them from the sidelines, as skillful staff-users like him are scarce yet necessary among the mercenaries. Prior to joining the mercenaries, he stayed at home with his parents and was unable to find work due to his weak constitution.
Personality
Rhys is a man of unfulfilled dreams. On several occasions, he has spoken with people regarding his various dreams and the activities he wishes he could partake in. Rhys' incapability to take part in such activities stems from his weak constitution, which serves as a barrier that prevents him from fulfilling his dreams.
In a Support Conversation with Mia in Path of Radiance, Rhys reveals that he has always wanted to be a swordfighter but isn't strong enough. Mia, sympathizing with Rhys, vows to help him strive for this dream of his while convinced that he will become her ultimate rival due to a fortune reading she got earlier. Unfortunately enough, after a few training sessions, Rhys is observed to be unable to cope with the strict training, whereupon he falls terribly ill, resulting in the pair being forced to abandon their plan.
In yet another Support Conversation Rhys shares with Ulki, he gushes about another dream of his, specifically that of wanting to soar through the skies with the birds he could see outside his window. Rhys reveals that he has always been fascinated by the Bird Laguz due to their ability to take to the skies, to which Ulki responds by claiming that flying is only natural to him and not particularly thrilling. Ulki then allows Rhys to ride on his back, giving him the opportunity to briefly experience flight.
His inability to defend himself and the frequency of his sickness incapacitating him leaves him feeling guilty from time to time, as shown in his Support Conversations with Titania and Rolf. He tries asking Titania if he can join her in her training, much to her surprise, and when asked about it, Rhys explains that he wished he could fend off enemies rather than force everyone else to look after him. He expresses a similar worry to Rolf when he tried concealing his sickness from him but ultimately fails in keeping his secret, going so far as to proclaim that he should pack his bags and leave so as not to be a burden on everyone. Both Titania and Rolf reassure him that he is an indispensable part of their mercenary group and that they love having him around, much to his joy and relief.
On the whole, Rhys is a very gentle and caring person who had been sheltered from the outside world for most of his life, resulting in a naive personality. He has an optimistic outlook on life and often prays for the well-being of his friends, offering assurance and pieces of advice to them when the going gets tough. Rhys sends most of his income home to his elderly parents and is revealed to be an only child.

Overall
Rhys is an extremely valuable unit, as he is the primary healer for the first few chapters of the game. When promoted, he will become the only playable unit capable of wielding Light Magic.
Rhys will require protection from physical attacks due to his low HP, Defense and Speed stats. He will easily maximize his Resistance cap of 30 if leveled up, and may be used to shrug off magic attacks with relative ease. Rhys' Speed is average at best, and his Strength is poor. This essentially means that he will hardly be able to perform Double Attacks, a negative trait that may be countered by forging a low-Weight Tome for him. As Rhys is blessed with a decent Skill growth rate, Adept will most probably be a useful skill to assign to him.

Rhys is illustrated in the trading card game Fire Emblem Cipher with the following cards:
Etymology
The name 'Rhys' means 'ardor' in Welsh. His Japanese name, 'Kiruroi,' is a derivation of the Gaelic name 'Kilroy'. Just like the name Roy, Kilroy probably originates from the Gaelic element 'ruagh' which means 'red,' as well as 'caol' which means 'narrows, channel, or strait.'
Trivia
Rhys's name is similar to that of the priest from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Wrys. This may or may not be intentional. This similarity is made more noticable by the fact that both of them are the first healer you obtain in the first game of their saga.
