Kieran (Japanese: ケビン, Kevin) is an enthusiastic, headstrong axe knight and later axe paladin who appears in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. In Path of Radiance he is a member of Crimea's 5th Platoon, and then in Radiant Dawn he is deputy commander of the Crimean Royal Knights. He shares a mostly one-sided rivalry with Oscar and is good friends with Geoffrey. A true knight of Crimea, he is very dedicated to helping his country.
Role
In Path of Radiance, Kieran is the leader of the Crimean army's 5th platoon. His platoon served as Elincia's escorts to Gallia until they were met in battle by Daein soldiers. As a result, all of the platoon, save for Kieran, was killed, though at the same time, the Daein soldiers were wiped out as well. Kieran was then captured and imprisoned along with Brom and Nephenee. He shared a cell with Brom until Ike's party came and rescued them. He joins the group afterward, even though he lost his weapons when he was captured.

Role
In Radiant Dawn, Kieran is the deputy commander of the Crimean Royal Knights. He is first used in Part 2 in Geoffrey's chapters to help thwart Ludveck's plot to dethrone Elincia, and then again in a chapter of Part 3. Kieran can later join Ike's group and be used for the remainder of Part 3. Kieran is placed in the Hawk Army in Part 4 by default, though he can be moved to any of the three formed teams.

Personality and character
Kieran is a headstrong, energetic, loud, and proud knight. He always shouts his name and rank whenever he enters battle and he takes his training very seriously. He is also shown to be rather clumsy since he often injures himself when he trains, though he always ignores the wounds. He also refuses to spar with anyone and always trains alone. Oscar also says that Kieran contradicts himself a lot, but that he is a simple knight.
