Saleh is very similar to [[Pent]], in that he is a prepromoted [[Sage]] that joins in the midgame with impressive stats and weapon ranks that allow him to immediately contribute. His fantastic offensive bases of [[Magic (stat)|Magic]], [[Speed (Stat)|Speed]], and [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] allow him to easily one round nearly any enemy from both the player and enemy phases with his anima magic, and he can keep this up for the entire game. In addition, his good con and base A rank in anima make him one of the best users of [[Excalibur]], with which he breaks even on his speed but gains an incredible attack boost that even further increases his already fantastic offense. Saleh's C rank staffs and high [[Magic (stat)|Magic]] also makes him one of the best staff users, and the only other staff user that can achieve both a high staff rank while also gaining high magic as quickly as he can is [[Artur]].

“I came from Caer Pelyn. I have been entrusted with the honor of being your escort. Protecting you, Great Dragon, gives my life meaning.”
—Saleh talking to Myrrh in a support conversation

Saleh is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Profile

He is the grandson of the Chief Elder of Caer Pelyn and an accomplished magic user. He is solemn and intellectual, but is quite generous and is a mentor to Ewan. He is Myrrh's escort and faithful servant, though both were separated and later reunited in Jehanna.

Sometime prior to the events of the game, Saleh killed a friend of Gerik's during a job. Eventually, Saleh would save Gerik in an unknown incident. Gerik forgave him for the death of his friend, and the two became friends.

Saleh first appears in Chapter 5, where he asks Eirika where Myrrh went.

In Eirika's path, his pupil Ewan asks him to accompany Eirika's group to Caer Pelyn, which he accepts. When they arrive, monsters attack, and they defend the village from the assault. Saleh joins Eirika's group during the battle.

In Ephraim's path, Saleh drops Ewan off at Taizel so that he could speak to Marisa about the guild's mix-up, before departing to Caer Pelyn. He then appears in Chapter 15 where he is seen with Eirika and Innes.

Personality

Saleh is an enigmatic, wise and spiritual man. He has a calm disposition, living in harmony with the mountains. He mastered a meditation technique called "Valega", and can be seen meditating even in the battlefield. He doesn't have many material attachments and doesn't like to focus on himself, sometimes missing the most subtle and mundane things. Saleh takes his duty of being personal protector of the great dragon Myrrh very seriously, to the point of being too strict and unnecessarily solemn around her.

He is a very skilled mage, and always shares his knowledge with anyone who seeks it. As a teacher he is patient but can be also intimidating and stern. Saleh has a vast repertory of myths and legends of the past, but he has particular fascination for the legendary princess Nada Kuya and the dragon Morva.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Saleh is very similar to Pent, in that he is a prepromoted Sage that joins in the midgame with impressive stats and weapon ranks that allow him to immediately contribute. His fantastic offensive bases of Magic, Speed, and Skill allow him to easily one round nearly any enemy from both the player and enemy phases with his anima magic, and he can keep this up for the entire game. In addition, his good con and base A rank in anima make him one of the best users of Excalibur, with which he breaks even on his speed but gains an incredible attack boost that even further increases his already fantastic offense. Saleh's C rank staffs and high Magic also makes him one of the best staff users, and the only other staff user that can achieve both a high staff rank while also gaining high magic as quickly as he can is Artur.

Though Saleh has few problems, his most notable is his lackluster HP and Defense that makes him less durable than many other members of the roster. He has good Resistance that makes him nearly immune to magical attacks, and his good Luck and Speed will allow him to dodge some attacks, but players will want to be careful with his survivability. Overall, Saleh is one of the strongest characters in Eirika's route with his fantastic offense and staff utility, and a worthy late joiner in Ephraim's route, despite his slight problems with his Defense and HP. Even though Lute and Ewan can surpass him statistically, his ease of use and lack of required investment make him a very standout playable character.
