Innes (pronounced /⁠ˈɪnɪs⁠/^[key][2]; Japanese:ヒーニアスHeanius) is the prince ofFrelia, son of KingHayden and elder brother ofTana. He is a leader of Frelia's army and is asniper of great skill. He is shown to be able to handle himself and to sacrifice himself for others, saying that he will be a distraction whileGerik andTethys escape. Although he is sometimes arrogant and can be thought of distant, he does care for those close to him.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Role

Innes spends the first part of the game on the war front, battlingGrado. He returns toFrelia between Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 and meets withEirika andEphraim. During a war council, they decide to split up, with Innes going toJehanna throughCarcino. As he travels, he hires the mercenariesGerik andTethys to help him on his journey.

In Eirika's route, he is cornered by Carcinan troops under ElderPablo who have turned against Frelia. Trapped in a fortress, he tells Gerik and Tethys to escape while he will escape himself. However, Eirika arrives and helps him. Throughout the rest of the game, he advises Eirika on several affairs.

In Ephraim's route, he sends Gerik and Tethys to help Ephraim, and presumably, Eirika helps him in Carcino. He then appears in Chapter 15 along with Eirika andSaleh. Late in the game, he provides Eirika and Ephraim withNidhogg andVidofnir, the Sacred Twin weapons of Frelia.

Analysis

Innes joins Eirika's army during the second chapter of her route and is the first pre-promoted unit the player will have access to after Seth. On Ephraim's route, he instead joins along with Eirika during the reunion in Chapter 15. Like most pre-promoted units, Innes possesses respectable base stats and a starting A-rank in bows. Additionally, his growths in every stat besides defense and resistance are on par with the rest of the player's units, enabling Innes to remain relevant until the end of the main campaign. His decent strength and bow rank will enable him to easily dispatch most flying enemies. He is also an excellent candidate for wielding theNidhogg once it is acquired as he will likely be one of the few units close to an S-rank in bows by that point. With the legendary bow, he can provide ranged fire on tough enemies like end-game monsters or even the final boss.

Innes's main weakness is the inability of all archers to fight at melee range. This restricts his positioning, cuts down on his damage output during the enemy phase, and causes most melee enemies to prioritize attacking him. Because of this weakness, many players may opt to not use Innes, preferring instead to use magic,Javelins, andHand Axes for ranged utility.

Overall, Innes is a decent pre-promote who can be very useful if the player takes his archer weakness into account. With planning and map awareness Innes is more than capable of being used as a one target "delete button" in the player phase.

Comparison to Neimi

Neimi's level twenty stats are slightly higher than Innes's, but she requires substantially more investment to reach that level, and will likely not have done so by Innes's join time. Furthermore, Innes's 9 constitution to Neimi's 5 (6 as a Sniper) enables him to more easily wield Silver and Steel Bows that slow Neimi down. However, Neimi is capable of promoting to theRanger class, giving her access to a horse and swords. All in all, if the player has invested ten or more levels into Neimi by the time Innes joins, she can be the better unit, but her weak start might cause many players to give up on her, while Innes joins already strong. Her capacity to overtake Innes is more pronounced on Ephraim's route, where he joins much later and gives her more time to catch up.

Fire Emblem Awakening

On March 14th, 2012, Nintendo released a video on the Wii's Nintendo Channel service, which they later also placed on the official Japanese website forAwakening. This video depicted many things, among them confirmation of returning characters from other games in theFire Emblem series in the form of downloadable content delivered viaSpotPass. In this release, Innes was confirmed as a returning character along withAyra fromGenealogy of the Holy War andClair ofGaiden.^[3] Innes appears in theThe Sacred Stones character set.

Innes is also present inAwakening's DLC as an enemy inSmash Brethren 2 and3.

As with several other legacy characters inAwakening, there is a unique weapon named for Innes available through theBarracks orevent tiles:Innes' Bow.

Personality

Innes is a quite serious man who always tries to improve his skill. He has great pride in his skill with the bow and in his title as prince of Frelia and has great aspirations for the nation when he becomes king. Since he is of royalty, he believes that he cannot show any flaws;^[4] therefore, he often comes off as callous or extremely austere. However, he genuinely cares about the others in the army and those who are close to him, such as Tana. He is very persistent at many tasks, and according to his sister Tana, he is always trying to be the best at everything.^[5]

Innes is the son ofHayden, king of Frelia, making him the prince. He and his sisterTana are often fighting with each other. However, he truly does care about her. When he and Tana were young, Tana lost the crown; to help his sister, Innes found the crown after much searching and pretended that he had taken it to see how it looked while he was wearing it.^[6]He thinks ofEphraim, prince of Renais, as a rival and very often competes with him at many things.

Innes has great skill in archery, explained in several of his support conversations. At the king's birthday ceremony, he was able to shoot three arrows at once and hit three different targets.^[7] According toMoulder, over ten years ago, he was just a child, making him somewhere in his late teens to early adulthood.^[8] At this age, he was able to best a famous visiting archer at an archery competition. When the other archer moved the target back, Innes shot an arrow up in the air in an arc to a bull's-eye on the target.^[9]

Innes: Regal Strategician
Son of Hayden, the Sage King of Frelia. Innes has inherited his father's tactical prowess, being something of a tacti— I mean, strategician himself!	Despite his cool, calculating mind, Innes is also very proud, and constantly trains himself to the best. It's no surprise that he sees Prince Ephraim of Renais as his rival.	Innes can be very curt and aloof, but despite his apparent brusqueness, he really does care for his family and his subordinates. I hear there's a lot of pegasus knights under his command who have eyes for him too!	Innes works single-mindedly to become what he believes to be the ideal king, and people who support him have naturally gathered to his side. I bet they all know how nice he really is deep down!

Is he going to use that stick with a flag as a landmark in the sand? Oh, I see... He's going to use it as a weapon in case there's trouble at the beach!	Whether it's at the beach or on the battlefield, Innes always strives for self-improvement. He says that he's going to show Ephraim a thing or two about having fun in the sun!

Innes: Frelian Moonlight
Does this boy look familiar? You might recognize that sharp look in his eyes, or perhaps his self-possessed demeanor. You guessed it—it's Innes, prince of Frelia! It looks like he's been summoned to Askr from a moment during his youth.	As a young boy, Innes was already familiar with Ephraim and Eirika of Renais. In fact, he saw Ephraim as a rival even back then!	People often think of Innes as cold, but here we can see him worried about his adventurous sister, Tana. There was even one time when Tana lost their father's crown, and Innes kept her from getting into trouble by going to look for it himself! He went looking for the crown, of course, not the trouble!	Innes is proud and intelligent, and I think people tend to misunderstand him. Well, now's his chance to show how caring and considerate he's always been!

Innes: New Year's Aim
Who's that starting off the New Year with a round of bow practice? It's Innes, prince of Frelia, and he's come from the continent of Magvel to share his New Year's greetings!	Innes is wearing a special New Year's kimono for the occasion, and wearing it in style. And beneath that outer layer is a suave-looking number that features a snake pattern!	For the New Year, he's also equipped himself with this bow, which gives off a golden shine and has decorations reminiscent of Nidhogg, the Serpent Bow of Frelia!	Self-improvement comes first for Innes, who has started off the year by poring over treatises on tactics and other such tomes. He's determined not to let his rival get a head start!
