Appearance(s)

An unknown army to the south? That must be the Altean princeling and his band of lickspittles. If they think we’ll sit by and let them join forces with the Aurelians, then they have another thing coming. With this ridersbane, I’ll litter the lea with their cavalry!
— Bentheon, in Shadow Dragon.

Bentheon (Japanese: ベンソン Benson) is the leader of a group of destriers from Macedon, and the boss of Chapter 4 of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its second remake, Shadow Dragon; he is one of the bosses cut from the first remake, Book 1 of Mystery of the Emblem. Bentheon leads his band to attempt to prevent Marth from joining his band with Hardin's, and even goes as far as to brag about leaving Marth's cavalry on the lea with his ridersbane. Bentheon is eventually defeated by Marth and his army.
