Riegan is a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He was one of the Ten Elites who fought in the War of Heroes, and the original bearer of the Crest of Riegan.

Profile

During the War of Heroes, Riegan was one of the Ten Elites who fought alongside Nemesis against the forces of Seiros, the Four Saints, and the Adrestian Empire. Riegan bore the Crest of Riegan, a blessing from the Goddess, and wielded the legendary Failnaught. After the war, Riegan founded House Riegan in the eastern region of Leicester. His descendants eventually intermarried with the progeny of King Loog after the formation of the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.

After Seiros prevailed over Nemesis and the Adrestian Empire completed its conquest of Fódlan, she pursued and killed Riegan and took custody of Failnaught. Subsequently, the Church of Seiros revised history to write Riegan and the Elites as heroes who worked to create modern Fódlan alongside Nemesis, but became corrupt and had to be struck down. Riegan's descendants became nobility of the Empire and later, the Leicester Alliance, passing down his Crest through the centuries.

In Imperial Year 1186, a warrior named Riegan served as one of the ten commanders of the army of Nemesis, who had been revived by the technology of Those Who Slither in the Dark. While Claude dismissed the idea that this Riegan could have been the revived original, the fact that Nemesis himself was revived lends credence to the possibility that Those Who Slither in the Dark truly did preserve the Ten Elites and restore them to life. Riegan, the other Elites, and Nemesis were ultimately defeated, thwarting the final revenge of Those Who Slither in the Dark against the people of Fódlan.

Trivia

• Interestingly, similar to Gloucester, Lamine and Fraldarius, the crest of Riegan has an associated Sacred Weapon, despite all four opposing the saints and despite the Sacred Weapons being specially crafted by Saint Macuil. This implies that either Riegan and the other three Elites initially sided with Seiros to then betray her and join Nemesis or, considering that humans like Nemesis and Jeralt acquired their Crest from consuming the blood of a Nabatean, the sacred weapons associated with their Crests originally belonged to the unknown Nabateans from which they each acquired their Crests.
