“	I want to protect those I hold dear and destroy all who oppose me. That's the power I seek.	”	— Raigh, to Niime.

Raigh (Japanese: レイ Lleu) is the son of Nino of the Black Fang, and the twin brother of Lugh. After his parents disappeared in his infancy as a result of pursuing bounty hunters, he and Lugh were entrusted an orphanage in Araphen, where they were raised. At the onset of the Disturbance of Bern, Raigh left the orphanage in order to master his skill in dark magic.

Biography

Raigh was abandoned by his mother alongside his older twin brother, Lugh. The two grew up in an orphanage in the Lycian territory of Araphen alongside their mutual friend, Chad. However, Raigh was dissatisfied staying in the orphanage, as he was determined to pursue the study of magic. He picked up some magic at home, but ultimately left the orphanage some time prior to the Disturbance of Bern.

During his travels, Raigh met Hugh, the grandson of the famous master of dark magic, the Mountain Hermit Niime. The two traveled together for some time, during which Raigh quickly learned dark magic, proving himself to be a genius. Eventually, Raigh asked to borrow the Nosferatu tome in Hugh's possession. Hugh obliged out of sympathy for Raigh's plight as an orphan, and Raigh promptly absconded with it.

Now alone, Raigh next became fascinated with the "unhumans" said to be employed by Bern. This fascination drew him to Juteaux on the Western Isles, where Raigh witnessed the War Dragon Ein. With his goal fulfilled, Raigh posed as an Etrurian soldier in order to further observe Ein. This changed when the Lycian Army arrived to liberate Juteaux—along with Lugh and Chad. The two informed Raigh that, in his absence, their orphanage had been burned down and their caretaker had been killed during Bern's invasion of Lycia. Though Raigh feigned disinterest in avenging the caretaker, he joined the Lycian Army, since they might encounter more dragons for Raigh to observe on their path.

In his time with the Lycian Army, Raigh also met Hugh once more. Raigh settled his debt by giving Hugh a gemstone, which the other refused. Additionally, Raigh ended up personally meeting Niime and became her student.

After the end of the Disturbance of Bern, Raigh continued traveling the world and studying magic, popularizing the study of the dark magic.

Analysis

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

Base level performance

Raigh joins in Chapter 12 as a level 12 Shaman. As a level 12 unit, he is eligible for early promotion. He is the first available dark magic user in the game, giving him a niche. Nosferatu is the most notable tome he can use, due to its ability to heal the caster after use, and unlike the later games, it has reasonably low weight. However, dark magic is inaccurate (comparably to axes), and if Nosferatu misses it also deprives the caster of its healing.

Raigh's main advantage is the fact he uses magic, and magic is the only form of reliable 1-2 range in The Binding Blade. This allows him to deal solid chip damage to enemies without taking a counter. However, due to dark magic's aforementioned low accuracy, he has issues hitting reliably.

Dark magic also does not have a killer equivalent, which is bad as killer weapons are the best weapons in the game, and around the time he joins killer weapons become buyable. Killer weapons not only have better hit rates than most weapons but also have a higher crit chance, increasing reliability – if a player unit crits, they likely kill an enemy. Without a crit, one-rounding one of Hard Mode's enemies is unlikely, and only a few units manage that. This is why killer weapons are so strong in The Binding Blade. Raigh's problem is that he cannot benefit from killer weapons since he uses magic. Without a crit, he cannot one-round any enemy, and both Flux and Nosferatu have 0 crit.

Furthermore, Raigh's base speed is insufficient to double most enemies, and even promoting him does not fix that. At base level, Flux weighs Raigh down by one point and Nosferatu by two points, further increasing the speed issue he faces. This makes Raigh's combat incredibly lackluster and making it good requires a large amount of effort. Raigh's magic is fairly high, especially after promotion, but not nearly high enough to make him one-shot enemies.

Promotion situation and long-term performance

Early promoting Raigh to Druid improves his stats all around, increases his dark magic weapon rank by one, and gives him access to E-rank staves. E-rank staves are nothing impressive, but they still allow Raigh to support his allies through the Heal staff. Raigh also gains a point of constitution and a point of movement, effectively increasing his speed by three points, which helps him double some enemies.

However, Raigh faces steep competition for this promotion. The Guiding Ring is among the most competitive promotion items in The Binding Blade. Lugh, Saul, Clarine, Elen, Sophia and Lilina all have to use it to promote, and they all gain plenty from promoting. While the player is unlikely to be using all these units, they will likely use at least some, creating a conflict of interest. Raigh's promotion benefits cannot compare to that of staff users like Saul, for example. Gaining +50 staff experience is especially important for them since staff experience is very hard to accumulate. Raigh will never use high-rank staves unless the player grinds his staff rank post-promotion, which is suboptimal.

If Raigh receives some training and promotes, he can become an alright combat unit. Still, he is unlikely to ever double enemies unless the player gets lucky with growths and uses the Speedwing on him. Even if Raigh does double, he may be unable to one-round tougher enemies despite his high magic. His best combat will usually be a Nosferatu tome, and with enough Magic, he can somewhat reliably OHKO many low-resistance units on retaliation with it, and even if not, safely bait a large number of enemies – particularly the Chapter 21 Wyvern Riders.

Summary

Overall, while Raigh is a decent combat unit, especially after promotion, he is not spectacular in any way. Much like many other combat units in The Binding Blade, he cannot one-round enemies and has severe doubling issues. He gains the ability to use staves after promotion, but E-rank staves are not very impressive. Furthermore, if the player is using a mount-dominated army, Raigh will fall behind unless rescue-dropped. These aspects make Raigh nothing more than a mediocre unit that can contribute but will never be anything beyond average.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Main article: Raigh/Heroes

There is one variation of Raigh available in Heroes.

Personality

Unlike his cheerful twin brother, Lugh, Raigh is mordant, gloomy, and rude to others. He is disrespectful to people he meets, including elders (as seen in his support conversation with Niime) and nobles. He is also very cynical, in his philosophy and how he talks. When Lugh tells him that he should try to be more sociable, Raigh calls him naive. Raigh steals Hugh's Nosferatu tome, constantly fooling him into letting him keep it through excuses which even he regards as "lame," and is amused by Hugh's gullibility. In addition, if he dies in gameplay, his last words describe how the world is filled with nothing but fools.

As an experienced shaman, Raigh takes the dark arts very seriously, and plans on bringing it back to people's recognition across Elibe. When the war began, he had left the orphanage where he, Chad, and Lugh had lived in without a word, having been fed up with the deteriorating conditions of the orphanage, although he did leave a note briefly explaining how he left to train himself in the dark arts. He is incredibly eager to learn the dark arts and master them, as seen in his support conversations with Niime, where he claims he would do anything to get her to teach him dark magic, even if it means groveling.

Although Raigh is clearly snide and disrespectful, some people, including Chad, Sophia, and his brother Lugh, believe that despite his gloomy demeanor, he really is kind on the inside. After he and Chad meet with Roy before their support conversations, Raigh tells Chad to be proud of his work as a thief, as he's using his own unique talents, despite Chad's own self-criticism. This leads Chad to conclude that Raigh is a good person on the inside, although he denies it. In his support conversations with Sophia, she gives him an rare dark tome that Raigh had wanted, but he is concerned that she might need it herself. However, Sophia later explains to him that she gave the tome as a gift, as she believes that Raigh is kind. He even claims he is willing to apologize to Niime to get him to teach him dark magic, and later (quietly) thanks her for doing so.

Fire Emblem Characters: The Binding Blade & The Blazing Blade

Raigh's artwork from The Binding Blade is featured in a file in the Fire Emblem Characters book, alongside details regarding himself and his role in the game's story. He is the 38th character listed in this book. Raigh scored 4th place in the online The Binding Blade popularity poll whose results were included in the book.

Fire Emblem Character File 038: Raigh
	Gender: Male	Estimated Age: Teen	Title: Dark Child	Origin: Lycia
	Status: Orphan			Weapon: Dark Magic, Staff
	A young practitioner of dark magic. A young boy brought up in a Lycian orphanage. He is Lugh's twin, but unlike his brother, has a very self-assured personality. He was allured by the power of dark magic, and left the orphanage on a journey where he trained himself in it. He reunited with Lugh and Chad by chance, and after hearing how Bern burned down the orphanage, joined in order to avenge them. Though he likes to talk like an adult and is disobedient, he is not a sourpuss by nature. He acts perverse to compensate for his awareness of being an inexperienced child. Lugh and Chad are well aware that deep down, Raigh is a nice person at heart. However, his strong desire for power strong enough to "destroy the world once or twice" is what made him aspire to learn dark magic. With Niime as his guide, he likely went on to become a great practitioner of magic after the war.
