“ | Ah, the remnants of the enemy must be trying to put up a futile resistance in their last hope. Excuse me, your Majesty. I shall have them cleaned up in no time. | ” | — Narcian, on Roy's march on Araphen. |
---|
Narcian (ナーシェン Nacien) was one of the three Wyvern Generals of Bern at the onset of the Disturbance of Bern. Initially tasked with conquering the Lycian League, he worked behind the scenes to corrupt its marquesses and incite revolutions until his efforts were foiled by Roy. From there, his focus was shifted to Etruria itself, and he successfully incited a coup d'etat, shifting its control to Bern-allied revolutionaries. However, for his failings in the Western Isles and in search of Arcadia, he was stripped of his rank shortly before his demise.
The Binding Blade
Role
In the early days of the Bern campaign against Lycia, Narcian worked with Brunnya in an assault on Araphen, the present meeting place of the leaders of the Lycian League. The two swiftly overpowered and obliterated the League's army stationed there and mortally wounded Hector, bringing him before King Zephiel himself. After Zephiel and Brunnya departed, Narcien entrusted Slater with the guard of Araphen against Roy's band of Pheraean knights. From there, he worked to incite discord across Lycia, convincing Erik to turn on the League and ally with Bern and inspiring Legance to rebel and seize control of Ostia. When these efforts failed and Roy seized control of Ostia, he led a strike against Ostia to corner him but was stopped by the arrival Perceval, Cecilia and the Etrurian army, and was forced to flee.
His next target was Etruria itself. He convinced the corrupt noblemen Arcardo and Roartz to stage a coup d'etat against King Mordred, using him as a hostage to cow most of the Etrurian army - including the generals Perceval and Douglas - into their service as a "revolutionary" force loyal to Bern. He participated in a battle in Missur to apprehend Cecilia, the sole Etrurian general resisting the revolution, and witnessed Zephiel arrive and effortlessly defeat her. He was then tasked with finding and seizing Arcadia and its divine weapon, efforts which failed thanks to Roy.
As a result of the loss of the Western Isles and the failure to seize Arcadia, Narcien was stripped of his Wyvern General title and was succeeded by Galle; however, Murdock offered him one last chance to try to redeem himself by defending Aquleia from Roy's impending army seeking to free the Etrurian capital from the influence of the Revolutionaries. Narcien reluctantly accepted the terms, all the while conspiring to blame his failings on Zeiss under the pretense of him being a Lycian spy. Narcien failed to defend Aquleia and was killed in battle.

Personality and character
Narcian was highly vain and arrogant, considering himself to be a pinnacle of intellectual and martial prowess and handsomeness[1], and reacting badly to anyone who dared to challenge his opinion of himself[2]. Consequently, he obsessed over his perception among his peers and superiors, interpreting even the unsupervised disasters of his subordinates as having the potential to ruin his own career[3] (concerns which proved to be well-founded). He easily developed grudges on those who stood in his way: he loathed Galle, his rival for the role of Wyvern General, and also quickly came to develop a grudge against Cecilia after her obstruction against him in Ostia[4], which he freely admitted to Zephiel himself[5].
