Not to be confused withJan, a human member of the Black Fang fromThe Blazing Blade.

Jahn (Japanese:ヤアンJahn) was adragon who fought inThe Scouring, the last remaining natural dragon inElibe. Shortly after being forced to become aManakete in response to the effects of theEnding Winter, he was gravely wounded by one of theEight Legends and retreated to theDragon Sanctuary, where he spent the next millennium in hiding, slowly healing his injuries. When KingZephiel ofBern unsealed the imprisonedIdunn at the end of the thousand years, Jahn sought him out, confirmed his intentions to surrender Elibe back to dragonkind, and entered an uneasy alliance with him, working to eliminate mankind in theDisturbance of Bern.

The Binding Blade

Role

Following the downfall of Bern,Brunnya arrived at the Dragon Sanctuary to entrust Idunn to the care of Jahn, while she attempted to defend the Sanctuary from the outside. Jahn noted that he couldn't understand what it was which drove Brunnya and her army to be so determined to fight an inevitably losing battle, but nonetheless complied.

WhenRoy and a small group of his warriorsentered the Sanctuary after defeat Brunnya's army, Jahn appeared before them in illusion form and introduced himself as the last natural dragon, explaining the nature of theWar Dragons so far exclusively fought by Roy's forces and Idunn's status as an "object" and not a leader. As Roy asked to learn more, Jahn offered Roy a challenge: to storm the Dragon Sanctuary and defeat its War Dragons, in exchange for Jahn slowly telling him more. As Roy progressed through the Sanctuary and seized certain points, Jahn slowly told him the story of Idunn's transformation into theDemon Dragon, the origins of the War Dragons, the creation of theDivine Weapons and the formation of the Eight Legends, the true nature of the Ending Winter and its cause, the transformation of dragons intomanaketes,Hartmut's confrontation and sealing of Idunn, and how he himself came into alliance with Zephiel. In turn, he learned of the existence ofArcadia, but dismissed the idea of peaceful coexistence of the two races as nonsense; this opinion and Idunn's origin would soon prove to be troubling news toFae. Near the sanctuary's peak, he challenged Roy's group, confident of his abilities in the face of his regeneration, but failed and was killed, clearing the way to Idunn herself.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Fifteen years afterNergal's defeat, following Zephiel unsealing Idunn, Jahn became aware of the action as his power started returning; once it fully recovered, from within the Dragon Sanctuary, he began projecting an illusion out into Elibe to search for Idunn's liberator. Eventually, he identified the man as Zephiel, and projected himself into Bern Keep late at night. He asked Zephiel why he had awakened Idunn and identified himself as a dragon, and Zephiel informed Jahn of his intentions to surrender the world to dragonkind.^[2]

Personality

Jahn seems devoted to the idea that dragons and humans cannot live together and that one race must be driven out of Elibe for the other to survive. When Roy mentions the existence ofArcadia, a place where dragons and humans live together in harmony, he refused to believe Roy, calling such a place absurd.^[3]
