“	If I go back, I'll have no choice but to take the throne. It's my late father's will, but my uncles would never accept it. Just one false step and we'd have a civil war, just like here. And it's always the common folk who suffer for it!	”	— Lewyn

Lewyn (Japanese: レヴィン Levn) is the errant prince, later king, of Silesse, the son of Queen Lahna and his late predecessor, and a full-blooded descendant of the Wind Crusader Ced. In his youth, displeased at the inheritance squabbles of his uncles Myos and Daccar at the expense of their subjects, he departed Silesse to travel the world as an anonymous bard. In time, he came to Agustria, where he became involved in Sigurd's efforts to oppose King Chagall's abuses of the people, and accompanied Sigurd in exile to Silesse, where Lahna gave him the Book of Forseti, and then back into Grannvale. Seventeen years after the Battle of Belhalla, he emerged as an important figure in the liberation wars against the Grannvale Empire, serving as the personal advisor of Seliph.

Biography

Note: This biography adheres to the canon defined by Thracia 776, which dictates that Lewyn married Erinys and is the father of Ced and Fee, and all references to his marriage with Erinys are in accordance with this. In the gameplay of Genealogy, although the game's events still encourage him to be paired with Erinys, his choice of wife – and thus his children – remain entirely at the player's discretion, and none of the events with Erinys's family would happen in those cases.

Prince and bard

Following his father's death, Lewyn became an unwilling participant in the squabble over who would inherit the Silessean throne, in which his uncles Myos and Daccar claimed they had more of a right to it than Lewyn himself. Even though the vast majority of Silesse's citizens supported Lewyn as their successor, Lewyn grew weary of his uncles' tantrum and, knowing that his succession to the throne would provoke violence upon the nation from his uncles, he fled the country in Grann 756. Once out of Silesse, Lewyn disguised himself as an anonymous bard and travelled the world in this guise, never revealing his true identity.

In Grann 758, Lewyn was travelling through Agustria, and had spent some time with Silvia, at the beginning of the Agustrian war against Sigurd. When Macbeth unleashed bandits on the Agustrian villages, Lewyn departed to fight them, with Silvia following. He confronted Sigurd about the misery his fight with Chagall caused the people of Agustria, but was impressed by Sigurd's attitude and sided with him to finish the job. During the fight he encountered Erinys, dispatched by his mother to find him and tricked by Chagall into thinking he was a hostage held by Sigurd; he reluctantly agreed to return to Silesse with her after sorting out some problems, and she joined Sigurd's army to stay with him in the meantime.

When Lahna gave Sigurd free refuge in Silesse after being branded a traitor, Lewyn went with him. He and Lahna had some difficulty getting along in light of how he abandoned her, though Annand insisted that Lahna was actually happier than she had been in a while to see him. He fought in the subsequent civil war sparked by his uncles, enraged at their abusive approach to the people and country and by the death of Annand, and when Sigurd's army reclaimed Silesse Castle, Lahna presented him with his birthright, the Book of Forseti, to use in assisting Sigurd on his quest for justice. At some point during or after this time, he married Erinys.

After the Battle of Belhalla

Lewyn is resurrected by Forseti.

Lewyn was present at the Battle of Belhalla, and was personally killed by Archbishop Manfroy during or after it. He was revived soon after by Forseti, who also took possession of Lewyn at the cost of some of Lewyn's memories. After being revived, Lewyn completely disappeared for a time, but at some point returned to Silesse to live with Erinys and his children. He spent an undetermined amount of time with them before abandoning them again, leaving Erinys to rule Silesse and raise their children alone in the face of Grannvale. Years later, Lewyn found Julia in Belhalla shortly after her narrow escape from her Loptous-possessed brother, amnesiac and badly injured. Though unaware of her true identity as a Grannvale royal, he took her to a remote region of Silesse to take care of her, though the two eventually abandoned Silesse as Grannvale's grip on the country grew too strong to protect her.

In the intervening years as Grannvale transformed into a despotic force, Lewyn appears to have set to work orchestrating efforts to formally oppose the Empire, among them hiring August to act as an advisor to Leif. In Grann 776, in the aftermath of the fall of Tarrah, Lewyn appeared before August to check in on his progress, admitting he never expected any outcome other than Tarrah's fall. He then departed to Orgahil to check up on something unidentified occurring there, after which he would travel to Isaach.

Lewyn arrived in Isaach in Grann 777, during the early stages of Seliph's fight against the Dozel occupation of the country, and he met with Seliph after his conquest of Ganeishire Castle. Praising Seliph's decision to launch his revolution at this time, Lewyn left Julia in Seliph's care as Silesse was proving too troublesome to house her in, then departed for Leonster. Lewyn returned shortly after Seliph defeated Danann and conquered Ribaut, bringing news of the state of the world and introducing Seliph to the full scope of the activities of Grannvale. He advised Seliph to travel south to Leonster to meet with Leif and his liberation force, then departed with him, acting as an advisor and tactician.

At Dahna, Lewyn gave Seliph a brief lesson in the history of the Twelve Crusaders, and a cryptic message about the "return" of the Crusaders. Following that, he guided Seliph's army through Thracia and Miletos until their arrival in Grannvale itself at the climax of the war. As Seliph's army stormed Grannvale, Lewyn shared with him a more detailed history of the Crusaders, identifying the gods and Loptous as dragons, explaining the crucial role Naga's power plays in combating Loptous, and confirming that Julius was possessed by Loptous and appared to be reconstructing the Loptrian Empire. Having since learned of Julia's true identity, he also advised Seliph that Julia would be instrumental in defeating Julius and that finding her and the Book of Naga was a priority.

At the end of the war, despite the pleas of his children, Lewyn declined to return to Silesse with them, insisting that he would be a liability to the restoration of the country. Before departing himself, Seliph realized the true nature of Lewyn as the host of Forseti, and thanked Forseti for his assistance.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Lewyn is a playable character in the first generation. In Chapter 2, Lewyn, along with Silvia, appears outside of a village as a player unit once Heirhein has been seized. He is playable up until the end of Chapter 5.

Lewyn is relegated to non-playable status in the second generation, instead regularly appearing in cutscenes as Seliph's advisor and tactician. If he was married to Silvia, Erinys or Tailtiu in the first generation, this allows Seliph to have special conversations with his children (Lene, Ced and Fee, or Tine) which boost their stats.

See love for more details on the love system.

• In Chapter 2, Sigurd can initiate a conversation with Lewyn after he appears, which provides no reward.
• In Chapter 2, Lewyn can talk to Erinys while she is an enemy, in order to recruit her.
• In Chapter 4, though not a participant, Lewyn gains love points with both Silvia (50) and Erinys (20) from a conversation between the two, when Silvia ends her turn next to Erinys before Castle Tófa is conquered.
• In Chapter 4, if Lewyn enters Silesse Castle after it has been seized, he will have a conversation with Lahna and receive the Forseti tome from her.
• In Chapter 4, after Silesse Castle has been seized and if neither is presently married, Erinys can initiate a conversation with Lewyn about Annand. The conversation gives the couple 300 love points, enough to instantly marry the two.
• In Chapter 4, after Silesse Castle has been seized, Lewyn can talk to Sigurd, receiving no reward.
• In Chapter 5, if Lewyn was paired with them, Silvia or Erinys can initiate a conversation with him after Phinora Castle has been seized. This yields no reward.
• In Chapter 8, Ced can talk to Seliph after his recruitment if Lewyn is Ced's father, giving Ced +3 luck.
• In Chapter 10, either Fee, Tine or Lene can talk to Seliph if Lewyn is her father, giving Fee +5 strength, Tine +5 magic, and Lene +5 defense.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

As a unit

Lewyn joins in Chapter 2 as a level 6 Bard. He has good base stats, especially in magic, skill and speed. While he does not have Follow-Up, preventing him from doubling enemies, he has Adept and Critical, still granting him a way of dealing double damage. His Adept activation rate is very high thanks to excellent attack speed, so he can still strike twice often. Critical also allows him to perform critical hits, killing many enemies in one hit when it triggers. Thanks to his decent skill growth and his amazing speed growth (the latter of which is significantly bolstered by his major Forseti blood), Lewyn should continue to have no problem activating his skills throughout the first half of the game. Furthermore, Lewyn has 1-2 range and hits on resistance; enemies in Genealogy tend to have low resistance and lack 1–2 range weapons, so Lewyn can often deal high damage without being counterattacked. Lewyn can reliably participate in arena fights without too much trouble; assuming he gets to attack first and if he procs Adept, he can typically 2HKO most opponents with his starting Elwind tome before they even have a chance to act. His lack of Follow-Up can be remedied with the Follow-Up Ring, and he will always have high speed to double almost anyone he fights with it equipped, though many other units that don't have the skill as well would want the ring for the same reason.

Lewyn's most significant problems are his low movement and lack of access to a mount. While he has 6 movement, compared to the 5 that some infantry classes sport, he still lags far behind mounted units who possess upwards of 8 movement and the Canto skill that allows them to continue moving after attacking. This poses a major weakness for Lewyn on Genealogy's massive maps, as he will often struggle to even make it to a fight on time. You can give him the Leg Ring to somewhat overcome this shortcoming (boosting his movement up to a whopping 9), but the ring is a heavily competitive item coveted by many units.

In Chapter 4, when Lewyn visits Silesse, he will obtain the Book of Forseti. As a Holy Weapon, it is nothing short of dominant. It has 30 might, low weight, and grants its wielder +10 skill and +20 speed. While using Forseti, Lewyn's combat is arguably the best in the first generation, as long as he can reach the enemies. While wielding Forseti, Lewyn can also clear the arena without any trouble, breezing through all seven fights with it. This means he will always have the money to repair Forseti, and he can always give his remaining money to his lover.

Lewyn's promotion to Sage grants him incredible stat bonuses and access to B-rank staves, allowing him to support allies without fighting. Perhaps of equal importance (especially when playing for an A-rank in Experience), staves grant Lewyn the ability to spam things like Warp and Return for easy EXP.

As a father

Lewyn's most common pairing is with Erinys. The game strongly suggests it since Lewyn's conversation with Erinys in Chapter 4 makes them fall in love instantly. This pairing gives Fee an excellent speed growth, Adept, and Critical. Since Fee always has Follow-Up (inheriting it from Erinys), she becomes an even better combat unit. While her strength growth will be a bit low, a Chapter 10 conversation will grants her +5 Strength which can compensate for it, as can the skills he pass down to her.

More importantly, this pairing makes Ced incredibly powerful. Ced's base stats are excellent regardless of his father, but with Lewyn as his father, he joins with the Forseti tome. His speed and HP growths rise over 100%, and his combat capabilities become incredible. Much like Lewyn, a Ced wielding Forseti can fight entire armies without getting hit and counter both melee and ranged enemies. He also becomes one of the easiest ways to kill enemy Holy Weapon users, who are more common in the second generation of Genealogy. While he still suffers from being unmounted, no pairing can fix that.

Another common pairing for Lewyn is with Tailtiu. This gives both Tine and Arthur Adept and Critical, increasing their combat potential. Typically, they would only have Wrath, but Lewyn gives them more options. While passing down the more reliable Follow-Up would be better, Adept is the next best option. Lewyn also passes down Forseti Holy Blood to both children, significantly increasing their HP and speed growths. This improves their durability and Adept activation rates.

Most importantly, Arthur inherits the Forseti tome and can use it without investment. This is especially useful because Arthur joins in Chapter 6 – the second generation's first chapter, making him the earliest possible Forseti user to appear in the second generation. No other pairing gives the player a Holy Weapon this early. Also, while Arthur is unmounted before promotion, he gains a mount upon promotion. He will never have Follow-Up without the Follow-Up Ring, but even without it, Forseti allows him to kill most enemies with ease. He is much easier to train while wielding the Forseti, too, thanks to the tome's high might and stat bonuses. After promotion, Arthur will be among the best combat units in the second generation. No other Holy Weapon user in the second generation has both 1-2 range and a mount, so Arthur with Forseti fills a unique niche. Unfortunately, Arthur's stats besides movement are not as good as Ced's, so he will not be as good at combat, though this is mainly relevant against enemy Holy Weapon wielders.

The third most common pairing for Lewyn is with Silvia. Since Coirpre and Lene are both frail units, the increase to HP growth granted by Holy Blood makes them a bit more durable over time, and the increased speed growth will bolster their avoidance as they gain levels. They also both gain Critical, improving their combat a little. That said, neither Lene nor Coirpre excel at fighting. Lene is a dancer, so her stats are mostly redundant regardless of her father, and Coirpre can only use staves before promotion.

With Lewyn as his father, Coirpre inherits the Forseti tome and can use it after he promotes. He is a worse user of it than Ced, joining later and requiring investment to even start using the tome. He is also worse than Arthur because he lacks a mount. However, this pairing is the third and final way to access Forseti in the second generation. Coirpre enjoys all the benefits Forseti Lewyn had, including increased survivability and excellent damage output. The drawback is that he remains unmounted, can only fight after promotion, and has among one of the more trickier recruitment requirements out of the three Forseti users, making this pairing the worst choice among the three.

Lewyn's other pairings are not very good because they prevent him from passing down the Forseti tome. Only male children inherit Lewyn's major Forseti Holy Blood. Arthur, Ced, and Coirpre are the only male child units in the second generation who can use tomes, so they are the only Forseti candidates. Lewyn still passes down Adept and Critical in other pairings, as well as growth bonuses from Forseti Holy Blood. However, the Forseti tome is by far the most important.

Brief summary

Overall, Lewyn is an excellent combat unit in the first generation but suffers from lacking a mount. His Forseti Holy Blood and Forseti tome are his most significant traits. They make him one of the most important fathers. Pairing up Lewyn with Erinys, Tailtiu or Silvia gives the player access to a Forseti user in the second generation. Forseti is among the most potent weapons in the game and makes its wielder a combat prodigy, making Lewyn and whoever inherits his tome very fun to use.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Main article: Lewyn/Heroes

There are two different variations of Lewyn available in Heroes.

Personality

Before the Battle of Belhalla, Lewyn's primary concern was for the common man. He has no patience for the power struggles of the nobility and for the harm caused to the people in the crossfire, and it was for precisely this reason that he left Silesse to travel the world, protecting the people of the world from avaricious nobles when he encountered them. As a result of his experiences with Myos and Daccar he distrusted nobles and royalty by default, particularly if their actions proved detrimental to the common folk even if just through ignorance of the reality of the situation, but would quickly warm to them if they proved to be decent people, as with Sigurd. He kept his identity as the Silessean prince a secret, working under the guise of a mere bard, until Erinys blew his cover by informing Sigurd of his true identity. Where the security of commoners was not a concern, he was a capricious individual intent on relaxing and escaping trouble where possible, and a mild womanizer. When he was younger, he developed a romantic interest in the Angelic Knight Annand; as he matured, however, he found himself instead interested in Erinys, Annand's sister. In addition to his outward appearance, it appears that he was also highly intelligent; as observed by Libra, Lewyn's Einherjar incarnation was capable of sensing that something was amiss about his ongoing existence.

After the Battle of Belhalla, however, Lewyn's personality abruptly shifted as a result of Forseti possessing him. While still strongly concerned with the protection of the people of Jugdral, his focus was now concerned with the bigger picture of the fight against Loptous and the Grannvale Empire. He was highly reluctant to engage with his own past, to the point of avoiding and shunning his own children and renouncing any claim to being the king of Silesse. Though an excellent mentor and advisor to Seliph, he was not above fiercely rebuking him when he did not agree with his opinions, particularly if Seliph was reluctant to fight for whatever reason. Forseti's revival and possession of Lewyn required that parts of his original personality be surrendered, and so at the war's conclusion and Forseti's departure, he was incapable of returning to his original life as Silesse's king.

Endings

Genealogy of the Holy War

Many heroes lost their lives on this path... / And the names of those heroes who fought alongside Sigurd to the bitter end at Belhalla, whose fates remain unknown...
...
Lewyn, the prince of Silesse...
...

These brave youths fought to change the world for the better, yet now their unfulfilled dreams lie dead with them on the battlefield...
Was their sacrifice in vain? What were they fighting for all along?
And what of the light...?

Quotes

Battle quotes

“	Macbeth: H-huh? Who are you? Lewyn: You're that Macbeth slime, aren't you? You've no business being a lord. Here, allow me to help you... retire.	”	— Lewyn, when fighting Macbeth, in Chapter 2 in Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	Myos: Keh... Look who's come crawling back. My dear sister-in-law's idiot son has returned at last. Lewyn: Hello, Uncle. Time for you to die. After all, Silesse needs its future.	”	— Lewyn, when fighting Myos, in Chapter 4 of Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	Daccar: Keh... Lewyn... Damn you! Lewyn: How dare you, Daccar! How dare you murder Annand! Death is too good for the likes of you! Daccar: What nerve! You die here and now, Lewyn!	”	— Lewyn, when fighting Daccar, in Chapter 4 of Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	I've no love for bloodshed, but you cannot be allowed to pursue this fight.	”	— Lewyn, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 1 in Awakening.

“	Lewyn: I've no love for bloodshed, but you cannot be allowed to pursue this fight. Miriel: A sentiment which I must dexterously deflect back in your direction. But shall we dispense with the rhetoric? It seems quite superfluous when you will expire shortly.	”	— Lewyn, when fighting Miriel, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 1 in Awakening.

“	Scurry home to your world before you find out who you are up against.	”	— Lewyn, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 3 in Awakening.

“	Miriel: I deduce already that this will be a most zesty experience. Lewyn: An experience? You'd do well to take this fight more seriously. Miriel: I intend it as a compliment. Did I not project the needed gravitas? You should be honored to have any empirical value at all.	”	— Lewyn, when fighting Miriel, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 3 in Awakening.

“	I'm just a wayward troubadour.	”	— Lewyn's SpotPass parley quote in Awakening.

“	Lovely...	”	— SpotPass battle quote in Awakening.

“	Where are the fetching women?	”	— SpotPass recruitment quote in Awakening.

Death quote

“	Nngh... No, I... There’s still so much I need to do... I can’t die here... I won’t die here...	”	— Lewyn, in Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	I know when I am outmatched. I must withdraw...	”	— Lewyn, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 1 in Awakening.

“	They're so fast...like phantoms...	”	— Lewyn, as a NPC in Lost Bloodlines 2 in Awakening.

“	How could you withstand the wrath of Forseti?! I must escape...quickly...	”	— Lewyn, as an enemy in Lost Bloodlines 3 in Awakening.

Other appearances

TearRing Saga: Yutona Heroes War Chronicles

Lewyn was originally intended to narrate the events of TearRing Saga: Yutona Heroes War Chronicles, back when it was known by its original title of Emblem Saga. Evidently, this was removed after legal pressure from Nintendo resulted in all Fire Emblem references being removed from the game, though an unused opening for the game mentioning him can be found in the game files.

The aforementioned opening for the game mentioning Lewyn can be found below:

“	The troubadour Lewyn singeth: Fortheria, land of the sleeping gods, a land unable to escape from war. For so long as people are human, the sins of history are doomed to repeat… Long ago, war was fought for generations between two sides: the aboriginal Canaanites of the island continent Fortheria, and the immigrant Jugudi of the mainland continent. Because of this long-standing opposition, or perhaps in spite of it, the Canaanites founded the Empire of the Dark God, while the Jugudi built the Kingdom of Reeve. The Kingdom of Reeve was whittled away by the Empire, who had obtained the favor of the Dark God. After years of successive blunders and disaffection of the corrupt royalty, the Reevan capital of Lieberant finally capitulated. In response to this, an alliance of small countries dotting the Senay coastline–Mahl, Wellt, and Blaad–rose up against the Empire. At the site of Fort Valt, they faced Achtullus, a renowned Canaanite commander, and Kranion, the demonic dragon who truly controlled the Empire. In the face of these enemies, the alliance suffered a great defeat. And so, two years have passed since the fall of the Kingdom of Reeve…	”
