Camus: Difference between revisions

When the [[War of Shadows]] commenced in [[Timeline of Archanea, Valentia and Jugdral|600 AC]], Grust's King [[Ludwik]] was quick to join forces with [[Dolhr]], an alliance with which Camus complied despite his personal objection to [[Medeus]]'s actions; his view was that, as a knight, he had no right to question his king's actions and was required to comply no matter what happens.<ref>{{Cite|So long as Grust continues to support Dolhr's ambitions, it does not matter what I know or think.

Near the end of the War of Shadows, Camus was released and reinstated as the leader of Grust's army, and continued to fight in Medeus's service as King Ludwik was dying of illness. Camus appeared anonymously before Prince [[Marth]] during his and the [[Archanean League]]'s assault on [[Gra]] to return a [[Thoron]] tome which he claimed was confiscated from [[Boah]].<ref>{{Cite|You must be Prince Marth of Altea.

Despite Marth and Nyna's pleas to to stand down and join them, Camus refused to turn on his liege despite his misgivings about his orders, and was defeated; he disappeared after the battle, widely thought to have been killed in action.

As the [[War of Heroes (Mystery of the Emblem)|War of Heroes]] was commencing, Zeke travelled back to Archanea, using [[Conrad]]'s mask<ref>{{cite book|quote=There is a theory that, before he left Valentia. Ezekiel acquired something from "a person who

no longer needed a mask".|book=[[Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia – Memorial Book: Valentia Accordion]]}}</ref> and adopting the identity of "Sirius". His first task was to rescue [[Yuliya]] and [[Jubelo]], the heirs to Grust, whose lives were being threatened by the forces of the [[Archanea (country)|Archanean Empire]] under General [[Lang]]. At Holm Coast, Sirius found them under the protection of [[Ogma]] and allied with him in defending the children,<ref>{{Cite|As I understand it, the Altean army should arrive here, provided you reach the southern village.

During the war, Belf—a former Sable Knight—can confront Sirius and identify him as Camus, but remains quiet at Sirius's request. At the [[Dragon's Table]], Sirius can wake the captive Nyna from her hypnosis at the hands of Gharnef,<ref>Events of [[Light and Shadow|Endgame]], {{FE12}}</ref> again denying his identity as Camus.<ref name="Nyna reunion"/> After Medeus's downfall, Zeke disappears,<ref>{{Cite|After the war, Sirius left without saying a word...|Sirius - Mysterious Knight ending|New Mystery of the Emblem}}</ref> presumably returning to Valentia.

Camus appears in a village in [[Land of Sorrow (Shadow Dragon)|Chapter 14]], giving Marth a [[Thoron]] tome, which he said was confiscated from [[Boah]] by [[Heimler]] and that Marth should give it back.

Camus is the boss of [[Camus the Sable|Chapter 20]].

Sirius joins in Chapter 4 as an extremely overlevelled, prepromoted Paladin with the stats to match, eclipsing all of Arran's base stats except for his very low luck. His base stats are so high that he can one-round all enemies in his join chapter while using iron weapons. His base stats alone can carry him for many chapters, but his growth rates are decent too, having high growths in strength and skill and decent growths everywhere else apart from luck. Ultimately, Sirius is extremely powerful, though his low luck can leave him susceptible to critical hits. Sirius is also required to recruit Nyna in the endgame, so using him is a good idea.

Camus appears in a village in [[Land of Sorrow (Shadow Dragon)|Chapter 14]], giving Marth a [[Thoron]] tome, which he said was confiscated from [[Boah]] by [[Volzhin]] and that Marth should give it back.

Camus is the primary boss of [[Camus the Sable|Chapter 20]], alongside [[Lorenz (Shadow Dragon)|Lorenz]]. As he is positioned a fair distance away from the chapter's [[Objectives|seize point]], defeating him is not actually necessary to clear the chapter.

==Personality and character==

In all of his identities, Camus is a thoroughly honorable man with a very strong sense of justice and kindness, but he considers himself bound by his honor as a knight. He views the role of a knight as that of a servant, unquestioning to his liege, and so attests that no matter how much he may disagree with his orders and tasks, he will carry them out nonetheless.<ref>{{Cite|'''Camus:''' Were my heart my master, I would do exactly as you say. But what sort of knight abandons his kingdom—his king!—now, when they need him the most? Would you have me toss away the life I have built as if it meant nothing at all?<br>'''Nyna:''' No, Camus, I.... I don't know...<br>'''Camus:''' I have lived as a knight, and I intend to die as one. There are no other roads left for me to walk.|Camus and [[Nyna]] in [[Camus the Sable|Chapter 20]]|Shadow Dragon}}</ref> However, he is more than willing to perform minor acts of rebellion to aid those in the right, such as giving [[Marth]] a copy of [[Thoron]],<ref>{{Cite|You must be Prince Marth of Altea.

Camus can be enhanced when he reaches level 99, becoming Sirius. He is Legendary Neurtral-type spirit, using his artwork from {{FE12}}. When equipped to a player character, Sirius grants three support spirit slots and increased power to melee weapons.

*In {{FEH}}, Camus's Grand Hero Battle map is based on a portion of {{FE11}} Chapter 20.
