What? The dregs of Archanea have come to challenge my kingdom? Ha ha ha... Really, do they think people have not tried before?
— Gharnef

Gharnef (Japanese: ガーネフ Garnef) was a powerful sorcerer known as the Dark Pontifex (Japanese: 魔王 Demon King) who played a crucial role in orchestrating the resurrection of Medeus and the two resulting wars. Formerly a student of the White Sage Gotoh, wrath and jealousy eventually spurred him to rebel and abandon Gotoh, stealing a dark artifact which twisted him into a malevolent figure who sought to condemn the world to ruin. In the War of Shadows, now acting as the ruler of Khadein, he allied with Medeus and his Dolhr Empire and bent many other nations to serve Dolhr, and owing to the sinister magic at his command, he was long thought invulnerable.

Although Gharnef was ultimately defeated late in the War of Shadows, when Marth's Archanean League used the Starlight spell to pierce his dark invulnerability, his spirit was roused within a single year. He was responsible for corrupting the once honorable Hardin, emperor of Archanea, into a vicious despot, and under the cover of Hardin's lust for the conquest of the rest of Archanea he set about resurrecting Medeus for a second time in his "true and darkest form".

Biography

Origins

An unspecified amount of time before the revival of Medeus, Gharnef was once a student of Gotoh, and studied under him in the city of Khadein. Along with Miloah, who would later be appointed a pontifex of Khadein, Gharnef was one of Gotoh's two best pupils. Despite his considerable talents, Gotoh grew wary of Gharnef's wrathful and compassion-less nature, and instead chose to appoint Miloah as his heir. Gharnef was outraged and overcome by jealousy on hearing this decision, and as an act of vengeance he stole the Darksphere from Gotoh's safe-keeping and fled Khadein. He used the power of the Darksphere to forge a new, powerful tome of his own: Imhullu. However, in the process of creating the tome, Gharnef's soul was sealed within the Darksphere itself, cementing his descent into malevolent madness.[2]

Pontifex

Gharnef hypnotizing Tiki.

Eventually after this, Gharnef succeeded in reviving Medeus as part of his plans to avenge himself upon all of Archanea, and forged an alliance with the dragon. Following the reconstitution of the Dolhr Empire and its army, the combined might of the two brought ruin to countless kingdoms, starting with the Holy Kingdom of Archanea.[3] Soon after the war began, Gharnef engaged Miloah in a battle and murdered him, seizing control of Khadein.[4] Gharnef's leadership dragged Khadein into the thick of the war, putting its magical prowess to brutal use, while Gharnef himself effortlessly supressed countless attempts to stage coups against him.[5] By the time the war ended, his rule had caused immense damage to the city and wiped out all of its other ruling pontifices.[6] Even at this point, he was well aware of the threat which could be posed to him should Starlight ever be created, so to prevent this from happening, he captured and hypnotized Tiki and had her defend the Fane of Raman, where the necessary materials were being held.[7]

It was Gharnef who convinced King Jiol to have Gra betray Altea and ally with Dolhr,[8] and as part of his efforts to blackmail Grust's King Ludwik into allying with Dolhr, Gharnef abducted its young twin prince and princess, Jubelo and Yuliya, and imprisoned them in a pitch-black room in Khadein. The two would eventually be rescued by Wendell.[9] Following Altea's betrayal and defeat at Menedy River, Gharnef took possession of Falchion to properly safeguard it from being used against Medeus,[10] and he abducted Altea's Princess Elice and took her to his hideout in Thabes, planning to take advantage of her ability to use Aum for an unknown purpose.[11]

Gharnef's influence looms over Thabes.

Four years into the war, the tides had turned with the rise of Prince Marth of Altea and his united resistance army, the Archanean League. Following his defeat of Gra, Marth travelled to Khadein in search of Falchion, having deduced it to be in Gharnef's possession. Gharnef briefly emerged to attack them, fully aware they were incapable of being a serious threat to him at the time, but eventually he grew bored and left. After this, Marth was tasked by Gotoh with forging Starlight to defeat Gharnef.

In the closing acts of the war, after both Grust and Macedon had been defeated, Marth's army was sent by Gotoh to Thabes, in order to defeat Gharnef, retrieve Falchion, and rescue Elice. With Marth's army now bearing the power of Starlight, the dark protection of Imhullu was pierced and Gharnef was slain.

Puppetmaster

Gharnef offers the Darksphere to a distraught Hardin.

Despite the death of his physical body at Thabes, Gharnef's soul lived on in the Darksphere, and it was roused by his heretic disciples.[12] Still determined to cause the end of the world, he sought to engineer Medeus's revival for a second time, this time hatching a two-part plan involving using noble-born Clerics as sacrifices. As part of this, Gharnef encountered Eremiya, a bishop in charge of an orphanage who had lost many of her orphans to war, and cast a spell on her to turn her into his minion. Under Gharnef's influence, Eremiya started training orphans to become assassins to serve Gharnef's ends behind the scenes, including an assassination attempt on Marth one year after the end of the War of Shadows.[13]

In order to achieve this plan, Gharnef needed to use Hardin, now the emperor of Archanea. Hardin had since spiralled into a deep depression over his unrequited love for his wife Nyna, and Gharnef seized upon this opportunity and appeared before Hardin, giving him the Darksphere. Hardin's heart was instantly twisted by the Darksphere, turning him into a malevolent conqueror, and he willingly handed Nyna over to Gharnef for use as the first of the sacrifices.[14] In the confusion of Hardin's reign upon the rest of the continent, Gharnef stole Falchion from Altea Castle during its downfall and had Eremiya's assassins capture three more clerics—Maria, Elice, and Lena—for use in the rites of Medeus's revival.[15] He also took possession of Starlight, to prevent it from being used against him ever again, but late in the conflict it was stolen back from him by Michalis.[16]

Gharnef's actions directly caused the War of Heroes, pitting Hardin and the Archanean Empire against Marth and the remnants of Altea, which was swiftly conquered by Hardin. Eventually, when Marth returned and slew Hardin, Gharnef and three of his heretic bishops appeared before him disguised as the four clerics. However, the light of the newly-restored Binding Shield repelled him and revealed their true forms, and as he fled to retreat to the Dragon Altar, Gharnef left him with a cryptic warning of Medeus's impending return. Soon after, Marth's army found and defeated Eremiya, and following her defeat Gharnef appeared before her and revealed how he had brainwashed her into raising assassins, delighting in her anguished screams as she died.

On Gotoh's counsel it wasn't long before Marth and his army pursued Gharnef to the Dragon Altar. In the Table's penultimate chamber, Gharnef confronted Marth and warned him that Medeus was now unstoppable and that the clerics' souls had broken to the point of being unsalvageable, engaging him in a battle to kill Marth before he reached Medeus.[17] However, having received Starlight from Michalis, Marth's army prevailed over Gharnef and defeated him again, banishing his spirit once more. He is not known to have resurfaced ever since.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Role

Gharnef is the boss of Chapter 23. He wields Imhullu and thus can only be defeated if the player has obtained Starlight; his defeat is necessary in order to obtain Falchion. If the player lacks Starlight, it is possible to clear the chapter by seizing the throne, since he is not posted on top of it. In addition to the real Gharnef, three false duplicates of him are present in different parts of the map, which have the same stats as the real Gharnef but lack Imhullu and are not invincible or as powerful.

Gharnef also appears in Chapter 15 as an enemy, situated well away from the goal. He cannot be defeated here and must be simply fended off or avoided, and he will automatically leave of his own accord after several turns.

Fire Emblem Warriors

Role

In Warriors, Gharnef appears as an unplayable enemy character fairly late in the main story. His most prominent role is as the boss of Chapter 15: Taking the World Tree. Like when he is fought in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Shadow Dragon, Gharnef makes shadow replicas of himself appear to cause confusion. The specific reasons behind him attacking the player's forces, aside from having a grudge against Marth, are unclear. He appears to be aligned with the game's primary antagonists, Oskar of Gristonne and Velezark.

Gharnef also serves as the primary antagonist in The Dark Pontifex, the History Mode map modeled after the chapter of the same name, Dark Pontifex, in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Shadow Dragon.

Personality

Originally Gharnef was thoroughly a man of justice and good intentions, despite lacking compassion and love, and was a highly competent student of Gotoh. However, this changed when Gotoh decided to designate Miloah as the successor of Khadein and the Aura tome, owing to his lack of compassion: Gharnef was twisted by jealousy and rage, which prompted him to steal the Darksphere. The creation of the Imhullu tome sealed his soul in the Darksphere, corrupting him even further into the Dark Pontifex.[2]

From then on, Gharnef was characterised by an almost fanatical devotion to despair and vengeance upon humanity, seeking their end through the revival of Medeus. His preferred method of operation was to remain in the shadows while manipulating other people into his service, such as Jiol, Ludwik, Michalis and Eremiya; in the latter case he even threw it in her face as she died and was released from his control.[13] He delighted in the suffering of others, regardless of who they were, and rumours abounded that he had no intention of remaining subservient to Medeus in the long run, plotting instead to slay and usurp him.

This is Gharnef—the Dark Pontifex who resurrected Medeus, the Shadow Dragon, and plunged the continent of Archanea into war! Gharnef was once a pious disciple of the sage Gotoh, but he was driven to evil by his rage and envy when his master refused to grant him the tome Aura. Taking command of the dark magic Imhullu, Gharnef schemed with Medeus to seize the continent of Archanea. Thanks to Marth's efforts, though, their plot was foiled! Gharnef was once a talented bishop, and it's a shame to see how twisted he became… I hope that one day, he'll find his way back to the honest path he started on and reconcile with the people he wronged!

Trivia

  • In Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Gharnef's portrait is a recolor and edit of Bantu's (or vice-versa).
  • Gharnef in his Mystery of the Emblem incarnation is a very rare boss in the series who guards a seize point yet will move off the seize point to pursue the player's army. The only other boss of this type is Lumel, from earlier in the game, and Tashoria in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. In Gharnef's case the throne must be accessible without defeating him as it is possible for the player to miss Starlight, rending the chapter unwinnable if Gharnef remained stationary.

  2. 2.0 2.1 "Wendell: You still don't understand my decision, do you? Indeed, as a mage, your power surpasses mine. But you lack compassion. That is why I did not grant you Excalibur.
    Arlen: ... Compassion...?
    Wendell: I had decided that you were to be my successor when the time came. To think you would harbor a grudge towards me... Does that not make you the same as Gharnef?
    Arlen: The same as Gharnef...? Teacher! What are you saying?
    Wendell: Arlen, listen to me... Gharnef, along with Pontifex Miloah, were Lord Gotoh's best pupils. But Lord Gotoh saw Gharnef's weakness, and so he left Khadein and the Aura tome to Pontifex Miloah. Gharnef, overcome by jealousy, stole the Darksphere from Lord Gotoh, and created the Imhullu tome. As a result... His heart was trapped within the Darksphere for all eternity. Wrath and envy led him to ruin. Do you understand now, Arlen...?
    " — Wendell and Arlen, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  3. "However, after a century's passing, the Shadow Dragon returned. He forged an alliance with a fiendish sorcerer who sought to rule the world, and their combines might topple kingdom upon unsuspecting kingdom. Again, darkness threatened to engulf the continent." — Opening narration of a new save file, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  4. "Nyna: Marth, have you ever heard of Pontifex Miloah?
    Marth: The one who defended Akaneia with the power of Aura? Of course; he and his magic are famous! But... I read Miloah died in a battle with Gharnef, soon after the fiend sold his soul to Dolhr...
    " — Nyna and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  5. "Khadein, city of magic. Ever since Gharnef named himself ruler of this mecca for the magically inclined, the sands surrounding it had run red. Many knights had tried to oust Gharnef, but what defense did they have against the mages the fiend had bent to his purpose? One by one the heroes fell to blades unseen and fires within their armor; and it was not long at all before Khadein's wickedness outstripped its wisdom." — Opening narration of Chapter 15, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  6. "In the previous war, Pontifex Gharnef allied with Dolhr and dragged Khadein into war, and the city suffered great damage as result. As Khadein had lost all of its pontifices, Wendell became its Archmage and started rebuilding the city." — Opening narration of Chapter 10, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  7. "So long as I possess this Imhullu magic, they cannot snuff my life out. No one can. As for the White Sage... He will trouble me no longer. With the dragon-goddess right where I want her, in the Fane of Raman, there is no way for Gotoh's Starlight to disperse the shadows that guard me." — Gharnef, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  8. "Blast...I deserve the same protection as the rest of the Empire! Betraying Altean was Gharnef's idea! Let...let him fight the brat!" — Jiol, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  9. "The late King Grust had two children. Princess Yuliya and Prince Jubelo. They're still young. Maybe thirteen, or fourteen; cute little twins, both of them. In the last war, Gharnef, the Dark Pontifex, kidnapped the twins to blackmail the king. They were taken to Khadein, the city of magic, and locked away in a pitch-black room. At great personal risk, Pontifex Wendell saved them. He took them to a monastery to protect them." — An elderly Grustian, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  10. "Marth: Did you find it, Malledus?
    Malledus: No...it seems Gharnef made off with it.
    Nyna: Gharnef? Then, to find Falchion-
    Marth: That's right. We'll need to go to Khadein, the kingdom of magic, where he resides. It pains me to turn astray when Altea is so close, but it must be done.
    " — Marth, Malledus and Nyna, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  11. "Elice: I was prepared for the worst, if that was what it took to ensure your safety. But they did not kill me. Gharnef spared my life.
    Marth: Why would he spare you?
    Elice: Marth, have you heard of the staff of Aum?
    Marth: The staff that brings back the dead? It was lost to the world long ago, or so the legend goes.
    Elice: Yes, but Gharnef found it...in the Resurrectory.
    Marth: The Resurrectory? What was it doing in a temple in the middle of Dolhr?
    Elice: I could not say. But that was why Gharnef kept me alive: he wished me to wield it. The staff of Aum's power can only be channeled by women of royal blood.
    " — Elice and Marth, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
  12. "Yes, you killed his body. But his soul was held prisoner by the Darksphere, and within it, his hatred only grew. Afterwards, his former disciples—the heretic bishops—resurrected him. And they seem to be planning something foul." — Gotoh, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  13. 13.0 13.1 "Gharnef: Oh, you don't need to apologize. The ritual to revive the Shadow Dragon shall soon begin. You and your underlings were useful enough, for capturing the clerics. Heh heh, it was worth the trouble casting that spell on you...
    Eremiah: What? A spell... on me...?
    Gharnef: Yes, don't you remember? But of course. Poor, poor Eremiah. My spell stole that memory as well. Once upon a time, you felt grief. The corpses of the orphans killed in the war haunted your very existence. You wondered what you could have done so that they might have survived...
    Eremiah: I... never wanted... to let those children die...
    Gharnef: And then, I told you. You had to make the children stronger. Twisted, yes, but they became stronger so they wouldn't die, just as you wanted. Well? Have you remembered now?
    Eremiah: That's right, I... I made those children...
    Gharnef: Heh heh... Hypocrites like you and Marth disgust me. Despairing over the orphans' deaths, you fell all too easily under my spell. And then you gathered children, subjecting them to hellish training, just as I told you to. You watched the children cry and scream... and yet, you smiled... Heh heh, 'twas quite a sight.
    Eremiah: Ah... Ahh... ...Aaaaah... ...My... ...My... children... AAAAAAH!
    Gharnef: Heh heh... Worry not, Eremiah. The despair you feel now is nothing. This world will soon be enveloped in the darkest despair... You had better look forward to it, Marth. Heh heh heh...
    " — Gharnef and Eremiya, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  14. "Boah: But sadly, Hardin soon realized that Princess Nyna did not reciprocate his love. It pained him greatly... He shut himself into his room, drinking away his sorrows, and saw no one. Spotting an opportune moment, as Hardin wallowed in heartbreak, Gharnef appeared. The despairing emperor's heart was gripped by the Darksphere in an instant. He completely changed as a person from then. I've made a terrible mistake, out of my concern for this kingdom. Please forgive me, Prince Marth...
    Marth: So that's how it is. ...And what of Princess Nyna? How is she now?
    Boah: Hardin handed Princess Nyna to Gharnef. Gharnef said that he required the blood of noble-born clerics in order to resurrect the Shadow Dragon... Prince Marth, my end is nigh. I shall give you my tome and staff. Please save Princess Nyna. Even if Archanea's destruction cannot be undone... Make sure that she is safe...
    " — Boah and Marth, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  15. "Eremiah: Master... Gharnef... Forgive... me... For not... fulfilling your order...
    Gharnef: Oh, you don't need to apologize. The ritual to revive the Shadow Dragon shall soon begin. You and your underlings were useful enough, for capturing the clerics.
    " — Eremiya and Gharnef, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  16. "Marth: Ah...! This is the Starlight tome! You're giving this to me?
    Michalis: Yes... Heh... Only this tome can... damage Gharnef. I stole it from him, but not without cost...
    " — Marth and Michalis, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
  17. "Heh heh heh... I've allowed them the honor of being sacrifices for the Shadow Dragon's resurrection. You will never see them again. Emperor Medeus will soon be reborn in his true and darkest form. And they will usher in a new era. 'Tis a pity. Their souls couldn't bear the suffering and shattered into pieces... Even I am powerless to help them. Shame, really. I have them to thank for the Shadow Dragon's awakening. Not even the Binding Shield can stop him now. I applaud you for coming this far. But... little prince... you will go no further. I will kill you here, and you will die knowing that you are nothing!!" — Gharnef, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
