Areone is a minor antagonist from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War who makes a minor appearance in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. He is the son of King Travant of Thracia. He is also a direct descendant of Crusader Dáinn who inherited the ability to wield Gungnir. Despite being the fiancé of Linoan, he appears to be in love with his adopted sister Altena.
Profile
Areone makes his first appearance when he and Travant are discussing their ambitions of bringing prosperity to Thracia. In Chapter 8, he advises Altena to obey Travant's orders, rather than argue against them. After her failure to seize Manster, he pleads for Travant to forgive Altena, claiming that she is a child who is frightened by actual warfare.
When Altena attempts to kill Travant upon discovering the truth about her heritage, Areone knocks her out in order to trick his father into thinking that she is dead. After Travant states that he is the one whom Seliph's invading Liberation Army is after and that he has "grown tired" of warfare and politics, he passes both the Kingdom of Thracia and the Gungnir on to Arion, telling him that his only wish is to "see an end to the people's suffering". After Travant's death at the hands of Seliph's army, Areone advises Altena to reunite with her younger brother, Leif, and reminds her that they will be enemies when they meet again. At the end of Chapter 9, he fights against Seliph's army and ends up defeated. Afterwards, he is taken by Julius, who brings him to Grannvale.
In the Final Chapter, Areone appears once again, under orders from Julius to retake Chalphy from the Liberation Army. However, if Altena speaks to him, he defects from the Grannvale Empire and declares that he fights for only Altena's sake, not for the Liberation Army.
In Thracia 776, it is revealed that Areone sent Dean to Tahra so that he could protect Linoan in his place. He also asks Altena to deliver the Dragonpike to Dean so that he could more easily defend Linoan. He is first seen during Thracia's attack on Tahra at the end of Chapter 14. Wishing to spare civilian lives, he meets with Linoan, who agrees to surrender Tahra to Thracia. However, she refuses to accept his offer to protect her and instead escapes with Leif. In his last scene, Areone openly wonders whether or not Leif will be an enemy to Thracia and expresses his desire to meet him.
It is revealed in Thracia 776 that Areone suffered wounds as a result of the war and was escorted back to Thracia by Dean after it ended.
Personality
Areone is very loyal to Travant and would not hesitate to carry out his will. He often makes attempts to excuse Altena's actions to Travant, who claims that he is coddling her. He seems to be aware of Altena's true heritage before she discovers it, since Travant makes comments about it in front of him. After Travant's death, he decides to oppose the Liberation Army because of Travant's dying words. Altena interprets Areone's choice as a result of him as being too focused on his ego to tell right from wrong, while others believe it to be pride.
