Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Glen (Japanese: グレン Glen) is a character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is one of Grado's Imperial Generals, known as Sunstone. He and his younger brother Cormag grew up as peasants, but both joined up in the army to serve their country. Glen is level-headed and reasonable, struggling to justify Grado's actions in the war. While he is not playable during the main story, he can be recruited as a special character in the game's Creature Campaign feature.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Role

Glen appears throughout the early chapters of The Sacred Stones alongside the other members of the Imperial Three, being the first to question what Emperor Vigarde was thinking with the war, something that Selena admonishes him for. When the generals are given their new targets by the Emperor, Glen's task is to kill Eirika and retrieve her bracelet. In Eirika's tale, Vigarde tells Glen that Eirika had massacred the residents of Port Kiris and was leading a rebel army in Carcino, ordering him to kill her at once. While Glen has every intention of carrying out his orders, he is seen musing over whether Eirika could truly have changed so drastically since the last time he saw her, telling his brother Cormag that the woman he knew was one of peace. Valter interrupts their conversation and accuses Glen of potential insubordination, though he is quickly rebuked.

At the end of Chapter 12A, Glen manages to reach Eirika and lays forth the accusations given to her by the Empire. While she is too shocked to provide a proper response, Innes steps in and informs Glen of the idiocy of believing she could be disturbing the peace when she was merely relieving him from Pablo's siege. Glen is taken aback from what he hears, and while he is loath to believe his trusted leader would lie to him, he can tell that Eirika simply would not do anything like murder civilians. He prepares to head back to the capital and confront Vigarde over this, but he is confronted and killed by Valter before he could return. Valter would then reach out to Cormag and tell him not only of Glen's death, but that it was supposedly Eirika who had killed him. Cormag would later learn the truth of what happened and swear to take his own revenge.

While he does not make any appearances in Ephraim's route, it can be assumed he is still murdered by Valter offscreen.

In the Creature Campaign, Glen can be recruited after clearing six floors in the Lagdou Ruins.

Trivia

  • In the Japanese version of Ephraim's route, Glen's death is mentioned in Valter and Cormag's battle conversation. This is omitted from the English version; Valter says "Let's see if your lance is as sharp as your tongue." In the Japanese version, he says "Let's see if you're more entertaining than your older brother!".
  • In the Official Nintendo Power Guidebook for The Sacred Stones, Glen's base stats are mistakenly listed as those from the Japanese version of the game instead of the Western version.[1]
