| “ | Learn well, Elliot: we, the nobility, know not the suffering brought by war. War cripples only the powerless, our subjects. I will not abide your lust for glory at the expense of our people! | ” | — Eldigan |

Eldigan (Japanese:エルトシャンEltshan), also known by the titleEldigan, the Lionheart (Japanese:獅子王エルトシャンLion King Eltshan), was the king of theAgustrian state ofNordion, a full-blooded descendant of the CrusaderHoðr, and inheritor of the Demon SwordMystletainn. He was a renowned knight who served as the commander of Nordion'sCross Knights order, and he was a close friend ofSigurd ofChalphy andQuan ofLeonster. Despite his misgivings about his liege's decisions and actions, he was thoroughly loyal to a fault to Agustria's KingChagall, and in the Agustrian civil war he was torn between his loyalty to his liege and his bond with his old friends.
Biography
The Lionheart
Eldigan was born as the eldest of two children of the prior rulers of Nordion, the other being his half-sisterLachesis (the two had different mothers from each other[1]), who held him in the utmost respect. As the rightful, major-blooded heir ofHoðr, Eldigan followed the Agustrian tradition of being allowed to wieldMystletainn only after swearing fealty to the Agusti royal family, who as the direct descendants of Hoðr claimed rightful ownership of the sword despite lacking the holy blood.[2] He spent some of his education studying abroad inGrannvale by attending the military academy inBelhalla, where he first metSigurd andQuan. The three became close friends and pledged their loyalty and aid to each other during their time at the academy.[3] After taking the throne of Nordion, Eldigan became a trusted advisor to Agustria's KingImca.[4] He was married toGrahnye, a noblewoman fromLeonster, and around the year Grann 756-757 he fathered one child with her: a son,Ares.[5]
In the year Grann 757, Eldigan received word of Sigurd's army seizing control of Evans Castle inVerdane, and he travelled to Evans to confirm Sigurd's intentions. On hearing the story of Verdane's invasion from Sigurd, Eldigan promised to defend Evans from any potential aggression from other Agustrian lords.[6] His suspicions were confirmed during Sigurd's subsequent sortie into Verdane, when he and the Cross Knights deployed to repel an effort byElliot ofHeirhein to attack Evans while Sigurd was otherwise occupied.
The Agustrian crisis
Shortly after Sigurd emerged victorious in the war with Verdane, King Imca was assassinated by his sonChagall, who succeeded him as the king and immediately set about orchestrating a military build-up and anti-Grannvale sentiment. Eldigan attempted to convince Chagall to end his aggressive actions, but he was ignored in the face of Chagall's deep resentment of him and was arrested. This prompted Sigurd to come to his and Lachesis's aid as they faced aggression from the forces of Heirhein, which in turn devolved into an all-out war between Agustria and Sigurd's small army. In a desperate bid to halt Sigurd's advance, Chagall released Eldigan to negotiate with Sigurd, and Eldigan was furious to see what Sigurd had done seemingly unprovoked. He and Sigurd negotiated to allow Sigurd's army one year to restore Agustria to its prior order and return control to Chagall, but he warned Sigurd that any attempt to betray this deal would result in military action. Following this, Eldigan and the Cross Knights took residence in Sylvale Castle, in order to observe Sigurd's actions in Agusti.
Ultimately, despite their best efforts, the deal did not even last six months. Chagall spent these months rebuilding his military before unleashing an all-out assault to retake Agusti from Sigurd, much to Eldigan's shock. In preparation for the ensuing war, he had Grahnye and Ares travel to Leonster and seek refuge with her parents.[7] Despite not wishing to fight Sigurd, following the downfall of Madino Castle, he was forced to lead an attack with the Cross Knights when Chagall accused his failure to do anything as a sign of treason. While at first he was resolved to die fighting for Agustria, during the fight Lachesis convinced him to try again to convince Chagall to back down. Eldigan agreed and, as one final memento, gave Lachesis aLands Sword before leaving. On returning to Sylvale, however, his attempt fell on deaf ears and Chagall declared him a traitor in league with Sigurd. Chagall immediately had Eldigan executed by beheading.
Legacy
The demise of Eldigan was the first of many losses which haunted Sigurd, and was followed quickly by the arrival ofLombard andReptor to arrest him on charges of treason; indeed, the initial rumors of Sigurd's involvement in a plot against KingAzmur alleged that Eldigan was part of it.[8] Following both Eldigan and Grahnye's deaths, Ares was raised by the mercenaryJavarro, and came to falsely believe that Sigurd and Eldigan had been longtime enemies until Sigurd murdered Eldigan, leading him to seek revenge against Sigurd's own son,Seliph.[9] It was not untilNanna presented him with a letter from Eldigan that Ares learned the truth. Seliph, for his part, held an immense respect for Eldigan.[10]
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Eldigan first appears as a NPC inChapter 1, leading an army of eight Cross Knights. He and his army appear one turn after Genoa Castle has been seized, in the upper limits of the map near Nordion, in order to fightElliot's army and protect Evans Castle while Sigurd fights deeper in Verdane. Once Elliot and his army has been routed, Eldigan's forces will retreat back to Nordion.
Eldigan later re-appears as a boss inChapter 3, emerging as part of the retinue defending Sylvale Castle after Madino has been seized. He and his army of fourteen Cross Knights will actively attack Sigurd's army and attempt to capture Agusti Castle, but Eldigan himself can be convinced to retreat by havingLachesis talk to him. This will give Lachesis anLands Sword and prompt the cutscene where Eldigan returns to Sylvale and is executed as a traitor.
In both cases, Eldigan's appearances are the first time in the game that a character wields a crusaderregalia weapon in gameplay, soon followed byQuan obtainingGáe Bolg in Chapter 3 after Eldigan's death.

Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Eldigan is available as a reward for completing thedownloadable content chapterInfinite Regalia. While playable solely as a DLC reward, Eldigan has more in common with normalSpotPass units: his portrait reuses old art fromGenealogy of the Holy War and he appears in the Rogues & Redeemers DLC series, as an enemy inRogues & Redeemers 1,2, and3, without requiring Infinite Regalia to be installed to display his portrait.
Eldigan's portrait also has a background indicating a SpotPass origin, and unlike other characters obtainable as DLC rewards, Eldigan does not use a generic placeholder portrait when the game does not have access to portraits of DLC characters. This, as well as the aforementioned non-requirement of Infinite Regalia to play Rogues & Redeemers, may indicate that Eldigan may have originally been planned to be playable as a SpotPass character, through either theGenealogy of the Holy War first-generation or "Others" character sets, but was ultimately left off the SpotPass roster and had these assets becomeunused data within the vanillaAwakening game, later put into use as a playable reward in Infinite Regalia and as an enemy unit in the Rogues & Redeemers maps.

Eldigan/Heroes
There are two different variations of Eldigan available inHeroes.
Personality
A rigid believer in knightly honor and chivalrous conduct, Eldigan was torn between his loyalty toward his friends and his loyalty toward his country. He understood the horrible effects wars had on the common people, and knew his duty was to protect them by ensuring that wars did not erupt.[11] Despite his deep bond with Sigurd, he had a habit of initially assuming the worst of Sigurd's military actions, both when he heard about the Verdane crisis[12] and after seeing what became of Agustria after Sigurd came to his rescue.[13] While at first he felt he could never actually treat Sigurd as an enemy on the battlefield,[14] he was willing to put this aside and fight for Agustria once he felt he had no other choice, but in the end he believed he would rather die to save his friends than in the name of a futile war and that this was the truest expression of a knight's honor.[15] He was close with his subordinates in the Cross Knights, and was moved by their constant loyalty to his command.[16]
His loyalty to his nation led him to hold respect for Chagall, no matter what the man did. He refused to believe the rumors of Chagall's involvement in Imca's assassination without proof,[17] despite Chagall's conduct he saved him from being killed by Sigurd's army during the initial battle,[18] and in spite of all the evidence to the contrary he always believed Chagall could be reasoned with. In the end, Eldigan believed that Agustria would be nothing without its king, and that Chagall's demise would bring an end to Agustria as well.[19]

- His appearance is also the only character obtained from a DLC chapter to lack new artwork.

- ↑"Black Knight Hoðr founded the Agusti Royal Family. He had many children and one of them, his youngest daughter who possessed the Brand, was married off to the Nordion family. From then on, the successor of the Brand appeared within the Nordion Royal Family and they were allowed to take the Demon Sword Mystletainn if they swore an oath of loyalty to the Agusti Royal Family. In terms of bloodline, the rulers of Agusti were Hoðr's direct descendants." —Designers' notes from aGenealogy of the Holy War playing guide, translated by Serenes Forest,Retrieved: June 7, 2015
- ↑"How could you forget? All those years ago, when we were students at the Belhalla academy? You, me, and Eldigan. Dear friends and fierce rivals in equal measure? Surely you recall that night, talking late about our hopes and dreams, and pledging our aid to one another in times of need?" —Quan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"My father adored you, and you used his trust to undercut me at every turn." —Chagall,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"The famous Lord Eldigan of Nordion and his wife had themselves a little son before he died a while back. His name's, er... Ares? Something'[sic] like that. I feel pretty bad for the poor boy... He's gotta be just three or four years old..." — ASilessean villager between Zaxon and Lubeck,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"Well, whatever you do, you cannot afford to leave Evans unattended. My fellow Agustrian lords have been of a rancorous sort of late... Ah, I know. I'll ensure they don't threaten you from behind." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"My father knew well that the stormclouds of a brutal civil war lurked across Agustria. I was a mere infant and my mother was in poor health, so he bade her to seek refuge with her parents in Leonster." —Ares,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"The rumors claim that, in concert with Quan of Leonster and Eldigan of Nordion, you are conspiring against the crown. This, it is said, is why you are harboring the prince of Isaach in your ranks." —Filat,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"What sorry excuse for a mercenary would I be if I refused to join a battle, Lene? Never mind one which, rumor has it, will oppose Sigurd's son... Never would I deny a chance to personally slay the spawn of my father's mortal foe..." —Ares,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"I hold the late Lord Eldigan in the utmost respect, just as my own father did." —Seliph,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"Agustria cannot afford the crippling tolls of war, and nor can Grannvale. Our past stands as a testament to this. Learn well, Elliot: we, the nobility, know not the suffering brought by war. War cripples only the powerless, our subjects. I will not abide your lust for glory at the expense of our people!" — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"Sigurd! It's been a long time. Pray tell, why do I find you suddenly occupying Evans? You couldn't possibly be declaring war on Verdane, could you?" — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"But what is the meaning of this, Sigurd? Why is your army swarming the capital the first thing I find upon release? Why are reports saying our castles are now under the rule of Grannvale officers, as if we are a mere tributary state? I'm indisposed for barely any time at all, only to find Grannvale has made itself at home in Agustria behind my back!" — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"What?! What is His Majesty thinking, doing something so rash? Blast... To think, we were so close to returning Agusti to him! Gah... I couldn't possibly fight Sigurd. What in the world can I do now..." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"Lachesis: That isn't true! Everything hinges on Chagall laying down his arms. Sigurd never had any interest in fighting, and has even less interest in continuing if you stop. Brother... Please. You lead the Cross Knights! Chagall simply cannot ignore your counsel!
Eldigan: ...You're right, Lachesis. I'll try and persuade His Majesty, one more time. If I must risk my life, I'd rather risk it to stop this blasted war than to fight my friend. Any knight would do the same." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑"This is it, men. It's time for us to enter the fray... Perhaps for the last time. I count myself the luckiest commander there is for your years of loyalty to me." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"Lachesis: Please don't do it, brother! You know as well as I that Chagall murdered his father himself. You'll only be endangering yourself for a lost cause. He won't listen to you!
Eldigan: You mustn't say such things about your king! I, too, have heard the rumors of King Chagall's involvement, but they are just that: rumors. There remains no evidence against him. Surely, His Majesty will see reason in this matter, if I simply persuade him." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑"That was me, Sigurd. I rescued King Chagall. I preserved the life of the last survivor of the Agusti dynasty. No matter how unwise his decisions, no matter how ill his temper, I cannot sit in silence and allow my liege to die." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑"His Majesty's death will spell the death of Agustria, too, and I cannot allow that." — Eldigan,Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
