Appearance(s)

The Isaacian citizens have made the rebel army out to be some kind of liberation army. They're treating them like heroes! But I think it's time to teach them a little lesson.
— Danann

Danann (Japanese: ダナン Danan) was the Duke of Grannvale's House Dozel from Grann 760, the successor of his late father Lombard, and the appointed King of Isaach following its conquest by Grannvale. Remaining loyal to his father and Grannvale unlike his younger half-brother Lex, Danann ruled as a tyrant over Isaach from the southern Ribaut Castle until his downfall at the hands of Seliph in Grann 777.

Biography

In the aftermath of the war against Isaach in Grann 760, Danann was sent to Isaach with the Grau Ritter to put down insurrections against the new Grannvale authority; he was supposed to provide his father Lombard with reinforcements in fighting Sigurd's army at Lubeck Castle, but was delayed and unable to get there in time, resulting in Lombard's death.[1] Following this, Danann succeeded him as Duke of Dozel and was appointed the King of Grannvale-occupied Isaach. Governing from Ribaut Castle in the south, under his regime the Isaach natives were reduced to slave status; however, owing to the reluctance of his sons and governing assistants Iuchar and Iucharba to participate in the Empire's more heinous activities, Isaach was one of the better-off nations during the days of the Grannvale Empire.

Seventeen years later in Grann 777, upon learning that the long-hunted Isaach rebellion led by Prince Shannan was stationed in the remote village of Tirnanog, Danann ordered an assault on the town, prompting Seliph to emerge from hiding and lead his limited forces in repelling the Dozel assault. Seliph's band eventually arrived at Ribaut, where he confronted and slew Danann, freeing Isaach from Grannvale control.

Personality

Not unlike his father, Danann was ill-tempered and merciless to all in opposition to him; even as he subjected the people of Isaach to inhumane treatment, he lived a life of excess at Ribaut.[2] He had a preoccupation with power and prestige, with his primary fear of the existence of Shannan's rebel army being that his authority was being undermined and that Arvis would not take kindly to the news.[3] According to Iucharba, Danann was extremely weak-willed when confronted by Loptrian agents, letting them have free reign over Isaach to their tastes and putting up absolutely no resistance or objection.[4]

  1. "Damn it. Danann still hasn't shown up with his reinforcements. The axe knights of the Grau Ritter are all elite warriors. With that much power on his side, Danann has no excuse for taking so long to quell some little uprising in Isaach." — Lombard, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
  2. "King Danann of Isaach was a merciless ruler, taking much after his father, Duke Lombard. He dropped the social standing of the Isaachian people to that of slaves, while he himself indulged in the pleasures of the royal palace at Ribaut." — Opening narration of Chapter 6, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
  3. "Prince Shannan's rebel army gets larger each year and they're meddling with my affairs! Don't you know they're harbouring Sigurd the Traitor's son? With them on the loose my position as King of Isaach is completely being undermined! You tell me how to explain this to His Majesty the Emperor!" — Danann, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
  4. "And I've had about all I can handle of the Loptrians. People say they've been sacrificing children right here in Isaach. My father just lets them walk all over him. I've had it with them!" — Iucharba, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
