Keaton (Japanese: フランネル Flannel) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. The leader of the Wolfskin of Nohr's Mount Garou.

Biography

Keaton is a Wolfskin, beings capable of turning into werewolf-like creatures. Living in Nohr, he is the leader of his pack. If he achieves an S-Support with another unit, he will have a daughter named Velouria.

Birthright

Keaton only appears as a boss during Chapter 15. He was originally going to allow Corrin's army to pass his territory, but Iago had planted a hidden bomb prior to Corrin's arrivel, which causes one of his Wolfskin to die. Keaton, believing it was Corrin's doing, decides to attack them with the rest of his kin. Corrin's army are forces to fight the Wolfkin and Keaton and the Wolfskin are slain in the process.

Conquest

Keaton travels from his home in the mountains to gather bugs for his collection, but loses his way and ends up in Cyrkensia. He notices the battle between Corrin's army and Kumagera's hitmen, he then takes a look at Corrin, thinking they can help him find his way back home. Corrin asks Keaton to join their group and he accepts and later helps settle an age-old conflict between Hoshido and Nohr.

Revelation

Keaton makes his way to Cyrkensia and befriends the kitsune Kaden. The two witness the town apparently destroying itself, and are quickly attacked by invisible soldiers. Dazed and battered, the two stumble upon Corrin's company, who quickly heal them. They explain their story and join the group in order to stop the incoming battle between Hoshidan and Nohrian forces.

Main article: Keaton/Heroes

There are two different variations of Keaton available in Heroes.

Personality

Keaton loves to hunt for "treasure," believing gross things such as hairballs and faceless hair to be treasure. When happy, Keaton's tail wags, although he does not like to admit it. He is also known to be a very bad liar, with his evidence being his wagging tail, and red-flushed cheeks; however, he always manages to change the subject with an excuse in his conversations.
