Biography
Pre-games
Miklan was born as the eldest son ofMatthias Raoul Gautier, the then-margrave of HouseGautier. However, because House Gautier's role of defendingFaerghus fromSreng invasions dictates that their heirs need to possess aCrest in order to wield theLance of Ruin, Miklan was denied his inheritance of the house in favor of his younger brotherSylvain, who possessed a Crest;[5] instead, he received training in defense strategies personally by his father.[6][7] Fueled by jealously, Miklan started bullying Sylvain during their childhood. The extent of Miklan's abuse was severe; he once shoved Sylvain inside a well, and once also left him alone in the mountainside during winter.[8] Miklan later cut ties entirely from House Gautier[9] and became the leader of a group of bandits headquartered inFraldarius territory,[10] eventually becoming infamous in northernFaerghus.[11]
Three Houses
In 1180, Miklan and his band of thieves eventually stole theLance of Ruin from its hiding place in House Gautier.[12] ArchbishopRhea then assignedByleth and their class to rout Miklan and his bandits and take the lance back. The group succeeded in defeating Miklan's bandits and weakening Miklan himself, but the Lance of Ruin suddenly transformed Miklan into a monster known as the Black Beast, causing most of his men to flee in terror. Byleth and their class defeated Miklan for a second time, finally killing him, and retrieved the lance.[13]
Warriors: Three Hopes
AfterDimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd ascended the throne in 1180, he collaborated withMargrave Gautier to enact a plan to capture Miklan[14] in order to make use of his tactical acumen due to a lack of capable leaders in his army at the time,[15] a plan which was met with much apprehension from Dimitri's close friends.[16][17] Miklan was eventually captured byGustave and assigned to be a commander of an army unit consisting of soldiers both with and without Crests, under the condition that he be detained and executed if he does anything untoward.[18] Miklan aided Dimitri's retinue in subduingLonato afterCount Rowe defected to the Empire, much to the surprise of many of Dimitri's friends. He remained loyal to the Kingdom army and eventually took up arms to defend Arianrhod from an Imperial attack, facingGwendal Roche in single combat. Although he was slain in the battle, his actions finally earned him the respect of both his own father and Gwendal, and his death bought the Kingdom relievers time to drive off the Imperial forces.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Personality
Miklan is defined by his jealousy and hatred of his younger brother Sylvain due to the latter being born with a Crest, resulting in his own disinheritance. Sylvain describes him as a bully who always went out of his way to make him miserable as a child. Due to his lack of a Crest, Miklan has a desperate desire to prove himself, to the point where he is willing to steal his family's Hero's Relic in order to do so.
His personality is expanded upon inWarriors: Three Hopes, where he is conscripted into the Kingdom army on the Azure Gleam route. Miklan retains his obsession with Crests, but Dimitri's influence on him allows him to channel this obsession into a healthier drive to prove that those without Crests can be just as successful as those with. While still curt and antisocial, his valor in battle earns him the respect of allies such as Catherine and enemies such as Gwendal.
