'''Ephraim''' (エフラム, ''Efuramu'') is the prince of [[Renais]] and one of the main characters of ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones]]''. He first appears in Chapter 5x. He is the twin brother of [[Eirika]] and wields [[lance]]s instead of [[sword]]s, unlike his sister. He holds the [[Solar Brace|Solar Bracelet]] his late father, King [[Fado]] had given him. At the start of the game he launches a campaign against Grado to protect Renais as much as he can.

In the start of the game, Ephraim is missing, apparently fighting in Grado. Eirika goes to search for him; in Chapter 5x he captures [[Fort Renvall]] with the help of Kyle, Forde, and Orson. However, he is forced to escape because he cannot hold the fort with his small force, and General [[Valter]] of Grado comes to intercept him. Still, he is able to escape. Sometime soon after, he meets [[Myrrh]], a lost [[manakete]] looking for her dragonstone.

At the same time Eirika is tricked by Orson, who is revealed to be a traitor. Ephraim circles back from what could have been an assault on Grado's capitol to help Eirika capture Renvall. After Renvall falls once again, the two head back to Frelia for [[Hayden|King Hayden]]'s advice on what to do next. On the way, they stop by Serafew and reminisce of their times with their former friend Lyon, prince of Grado. When they arrive in Frelia, they decide that Eirika will head to Jehanna to warn them of Grado, who is trying to destroy the Sacred Stones, and Ephraim will go to Grado. The player can then choose to go with Eirika or Ephraim.

Ephraim goes to Grado, first heading to Fort Rigwald. He continues into Grado territory and meets his former mentor [[Duessel]], a general of Grado branded a traitor. He informs Ephraim of a Dark Stone, which somehow changed the emperor and has been being carried by Lyon. He decides to take a ship across the ocean to Taizel, and along the way he fights off many monsters on the sea. Upon landing in Taizel, the party is assaulted by Grado forces, along with several monsters. They manage to defeat them; however, Myrrh flees to the east for unknown reasons, and Ephraim decides to follow her.

Upon finding Myrrh, she says that she had been looking for her dragonstone, which [[Selena (The Sacred Stones)|Selena]] had taken; Selena, a general of Grado, begins to fight Ephraim. He defeats her, and continues to Grado Keep, the castle at the capital city. He manages to defeat Vigarde, the king of Grado, but his body disappears mysteriously. He then meets Lyon, who tells him he had started the war. In the jail, Ephraim meets a shaman named [[Knoll]], who reveals to him the story about Lyon's actions. Suddenly, Ephraim is informed that Eirika is under attack in Jehanna; he hurries over to help her. Together, reunited, they are able to defeat Generals [[Riev]] and [[Valter]] in one battle.

When he and Eirika reunite and return to Renais, they see its deplorable condition under Orson who doesn't even care for the country itself; he lets bandits run free and citizens revolt. When Orson is defeated, he finds out why Orson betrayed him - he was promised his dead wife revived. His wife Monica was "alive", but in a kind of zombie-like state, not really alive. He proceeds with [[Seth]] and his sister to the throne room, where they raise their bracelets, which are two halves of a key to a hidden chamber. This allows them to receive the [[Sacred Stone]] of Renais and the [[Sacred Twins]], [[Siegmund]] the fire lance and [[Sieglinde]] the thunder sword.

They head to the Narube River and meet Lyon, who has been taken over by the [[Demon King]] of old legends. They follow Lyon to the north, where Ephraim meets him at Mount Neleras, a mountain full of monsters and lava. However, after the monsters are defeated, Lyon teleports to him. Ephraim is enraged and loses his calmness, a rare occurrence, and charges at Lyon; however, Lyon immobilizes his body, forcefully takes the Sacred Stone, and destroys it. However, Lyon appears to change back to normal and confesses that he is willingly doing this to help his nation. Ephraim does not believe him, but Lyon warns him that he will perform a ritual to gain great power and avert disaster in Darkling Woods; he then flees.

Ephraim and Eirika head to Rausten to recover the last remaining Sacred Stone. There, they are attacked by remnants of the Grado army led by Riev, but they are able to hold off so that he leaves. The twins receive the Sacred Stone and then head to Darkling Woods, and then the Black Temple. He confronts Lyon and is able to defeat him in a large battle against a large amount of monsters. Before he dies, Lyon states that he had always wanted to be Ephraim; he dies quickly. Afterwards, the Demon King rises up, but with the power of Rausten's Sacred Stone and their own willpower, Ephraim's army is able to defeat the Demon King and seal him away.

Ephraim is very brave and courageous. Although he is not very knowledgeable in history, he is viewed as a suited king to the throne by Duessel and others. He is passionate about his goals, and also very caring about others, such as how he very actively wants to protect his twin sister Eirika.

He also knows the siblings Innes and Tana of Frelia, the prince and princess of Frelia. He is quite friendly with both, and a rival to Innes. He has two loyal knights serving him, Forde and Kyle. Duessel, a general of Grado, had been a sort of lance trainer for him. He had been close friends with Lyon, prince of Grado, before the war. Sometime between Chapters 5x and 8, he finds Myrrh, a shy [[Manakete]], and she becomes quite close to him.
