'''Leif Faris Claus''' (Japanese: {{hl|リーフ・ファリス・クラウス|Rīfu farisu kurausu}} ''Leaf Faris Claus'') is the prince of [[Leonster]], the son of the late Prince [[Quan]] and [[Ethlyn]], and the younger brother of [[Altena]]. Left behind in Leonster as an infant while his parents travelled to [[Grannvale]] to aid his uncle [[Sigurd]], he was forced into exile following [[Aed Massacre|his parents' deaths]] and the fall of Leonster at the hands of [[Conote]], taken away by [[Finn]] of the Leonster knights. He was raised in hiding in the town of [[Fiana]] by Finn and, for a while, [[Lachesis]], along with Lachesis's own daughter [[Nanna]], and eventually joined the [[Fiana Freeblades]] led by [[Eyvel]], protecting the village from bandits.

Leif was born in the Leonster capital in the year Grann 760, after Quan and Ethlyn had returned home from aiding his uncle [[Sigurd]]. As an infant he quickly grew particularly attached to [[Finn]], one of Quan's knights, who was frequently assigned the task of protecting and caring for Leif. When his parents departed Leonster to lead the [[Lanceritter]] in reinforcing Sigurd in his struggles with [[Grannvale]], Leif was left behind in Finn's protection, and some months later he was introduced to [[Nanna]], the daughter of [[Lachesis]], for company around his own age.<ref>{{cite web|quote='You mustn't. Quan entrusted Leaf to you. If we wish Lenster's royal family to continue existing, Leaf's safety is essential. I entrust that to you, Fin.'<br>King Calf's powerful tone made Fin cast down his eyes.|url=https://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/thracia-776/lensters-fall/the-night-before-sortie/|title="Leonster's Fall", from the ''Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 Illustrated Works''|site=translated by Serenes Forest|retrieved=January 15, 2015}}</ref> A year after Quan and Ethlyn died in the [[Aed Massacre]], in Grann 761, Leonster was invaded by the Thracian army along with the rest of the Munster District, following a disastrous battle at the River Thracia in which Leif's grandfather, King [[Calf]], was killed. As Thracia's forces beseiged the Leonster royal palace, Finn, Leif, Lachesis and Nanna all fled the capital as it burned.

Afterward, Leif grew up as a fugitive from both Thracia and the Grannvale Empire, constantly in hiding and being moved from place to place by Finn to avoid capture by the Empire as it seized power in the Munster District. His first hiding place was [[Ulster (location)|Ulster]], where he stayed from 762-765 under the protection of its queen, eventually being forced to flee when an assassination plot against the imperial governor, King [[Bloom]], surfaced in the city. Next came the free city [[Frest]], where he lived in the care of its bishop from 766-768, but this came to an end once his whereabouts were leaked by certain denizens of the city. He, Finn, Nanna and Lachesis avoided being caught in an Imperial siege of the city, with their safe escape ensured by the bishop buying them time by surrendering himself to execution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://serenesforest.net/general/timelines/|title=Timelines|site=Serenes Forest|retrieved=January 10, 2015|author=VincentASM}}</ref>

On the bishop's advice, Finn next took Leif to [[Tahra]], entering the protection of its duke for five years from 769-773. During their time in Tahra, Lachesis departed from the group to find her estranged son [[Diarmuid]], leaving Nanna with Finn and Leif. It was also in Tahra that Leif met and befriended [[Asbel]], and the two together swore to someday fight together to reclaim all of Thracia.<ref name="asbel">{{Cite|'''Leif:''' Asbel?!

Believing his life to be in certain peril, Leif fled Tahra with Nanna and Finn, leaving Asbel behind.<ref name="asbel" />

After fleeing Tahra, the three entered Thracian territory, and at some point Finn sustained a grievous wound. They eventually arrived at the small village of [[Fiana]], with Finn still wounded, and Leif tried to convince its leader [[Eyvel]] to help Finn by offering to give her the [[Light Brand]] he inherited from Ethlyn. Eyvel took the three in without demanding a thing, and even took to taking care of Leif and Nanna as if they were her own children.<ref>{{Cite|I still remember the day you entered my life. You and Little Nan wandered into the village with Finn, who was hurt so badly he could hardly manage to stay atop his horse. Little Nan was begging me to save her father, her cute eyes turned red with tears, and all I could think to do was hug her. But you... Heh, that's when I knew there was something different about you. You just looked me dead in the eye, held up the sword that was on your belt, and said, "I'll give you this if you help him." Wasn't till later that I realized how much it meant to you. I heard the blade was an heirloom—belonged to your mother, right? But I remember wondering, "Just what kind of ordeal must these three have been through to make this little boy so calm right now?" ...I can't remember my own childhood, Little Lord. Ten years ago, the villagers of Ys found me washed up on the shore. I don't know anything about what I did before that... Who was I...? Did I have a husband? Kids? I don't have the slightest idea. But when I first met you two, I realized something real bad must've happened to me in my own youth, too. So I figured, if I couldn't remember my own childhood, I could do the next best thing and give a childhood to two kids that needed one. Never imagined you would turn out to be the Prince of Leonster, though...|[[Eyvel]]|Thracia 776}}</ref> Leif would later reflect that his years living in Fiana were the best of his life: he grew up surrounded with new friends like [[Osian]], [[Halvan]] and [[Mareeta]], under Eyvel's mother-like care, and he and Finn even eventually took to assisting the work of Eyvel's mercenary band, the [[Fiana Freeblades]].<ref>{{Cite|Eyvel... I realized I never thanked you. It's only because of you that I was able to have a peaceful childhood.

I'd spent my life on the run, and it was just another new experience for me. We didn't share blood, but we were a family: Finn was my father, you were my mother, and Nanna and Mareeta were my sisters. And I got to make friends with boys my own age, like Osian and Halvan. Back then, the only thing I wanted was for those days to go on forever... I have you to thank for all that, Eyvel. You let me experience what having a mother was like... You gave me back the warmth of family that I'd forgotten so long ago...|Leif|Thracia 776}}</ref> Neither Eyvel nor anybody else in Fiana would become aware of Leif's royal identity for a long time.

Leif set out on a northward journey to Munster, travelling along the Thracian coast through the village of Iz and freeing it from Lifis's bandits, until he arrived at Fort Kelbeth outside the city. On his way, he met the bishop [[August]], who travelled with him for a time, and although they parted ways before Kelbeth, August revealed his knowledge of Leif's true identity and affirmed his intent to help restore Leif to the Leonster throne. Leif and the Freeblades successfully captured Kelbeth and freed the [[Child hunts|abducted children]] within it, but soon after were ambushed by Raydrik. He was arrested by Raydrik and taken back to Munster, along with Eyvel and Lifis, while Finn and the rest of the Freeblades evaded capture.

Leif was imprisoned in a dungeon in the bowels of the Munster palace, separated from Eyvel and awaiting transfer to [[Conote]]. With the assistance of members of the [[Magi]], tasked by [[Ced]] with releasing and accompanying Leif, he escaped the dungeon and emerged into the castle's main halls. He and the Magi fought their way into the castle's main halls to free Eyvel and Nanna, only to find that Eyvel had been [[Status effects#Petrification|petrified]] by the bishop [[Veld]]'s dark magic and that Raydrik had used a [[Shadow Sword|cursed sword]] to control Mareeta. He, Nanna and the Magi escaped the castle and rejoined with August, then, swearing to someday return and free Eyvel, the band carefully evaded the Munster soldiers in the city's main streets and escaped the city grounds.

===Tahra and Leonster===

Even after having escaped the city, Raydrik's minions were still in hot pursuit of Leif. At August's advice and despite his own intense dislike of the idea, Leif opted to seek refuge at Meath Castle in [[Thracia]] and briefly enter the protection from [[Hannibal]]. Once he arrived, he told Hannibal a false story of his arrest to obscure his own identity and his intent to travel to Tahra, and Hannibal granted him an escort, [[Carrion]], to take Leif's group to Hannibal's western mansion. Hannibal also released Leif's allies, who had been arrested by his subordinates earlier, and Finn rejoined Leif shortly beforehand.

Leif's journey west took him through Thracia's mountains, where he faced menaces from both bandits formerly loyal to [[Dagdar]] and from Thracian soldiers who mistook his band for bandits themselves. On their way, Carrion revealed to Leif that Hannibal was aware of his true identity and wished to entrust him with a group of refugee Leonster knights, Carrion himself included, being trained at Hannibal's mansion by the former Leonster noble [[Dryas]]. Upon arriving, Dryas advised Leif that they needed to make haste to Tahra to save it from an imminent defeat, and committed his student knights to Leif's cause and joined August as a tactician for Leif.

Commanding a small army made up of Leonster knights, the Freeblades and the Magi, Leif set out for Tahra. Travelling through Noel Canyon and the Dandrum Fortress, he achieved his first victories against the Empire's forces, then entered the Dacia forest and encountered the Dandelion thieves, among them [[Safy]]'s sister [[Tina]], and the former Loptrian [[Salem]], and was reunited with Mareeta, who had been freed by [[Saias]]. Immediately beyond Dacia was Tahra itself, barely withstanding the Empire's siege through the efforts of a small group of Leonster survivors under [[Glade]], and a pair of warriors from Thracia. On arriving, Leif pledged to the city's ruler [[Linoan]] that he would ensure the city wouldn't fall to the Empire. Despite his best efforts, however, he couldn't maintain the defenses in the face of an onslaught from the Loptrian warlocks, the [[Bergrosen]], and [[Arion]] struck a deal with Linoan to fake a Thracian conquest of Tahra to protect the city from the Empire.

As part of the deal, Leif and his army were required to flee the city to prevent Arion's father, [[Travant]], from finding him. He departed with both Linoan and a small number of Tahra refugees in tow, and on ensuring their safety, Leif was left to confront his next mission: retaking Leonster itself. Leif had two routes to choose from to take to Leonster: the open northern high-road, to assault the castle's defenses head-on, or an eastern route through thick mountains and forests to enter Leonster from its less-defended southern border. His march culminated in the successful defeat of the castle's Imperial occupation, restoring Leonster to Leif's control after fourteen years.

However, Leif had no time to rest on reclaiming his home, as he received news of an Imperial massacre in [[Ulster (location)|Ulster]], the Imperial King [[Bloom]]'s current headquarters. Despite August's protestations, Leif demanded to lead Leonster's army to help Ulster's suffering people. Dryas departed first with half of Leonster's army, instructing Leif to follow with the rest a day later. Before Leif could depart, however, he received word that the first Ulster raid had failed, obliterated by the Empire striking from behind, that Dryas had fallen, and that an Imperial siege of Leonster was inevitable. Overcome by shock at how his actions had killed Dryas, Leif, Finn and Nanna were forced to maintain Leonster's defenses against the siege for six months, slowly but surely losing territory to the Empire.

Finally, after six long months, the siege of Leonster came to an end with the arrival of [[Seliph]]. Leif's cousin, already famous for his victories against the Empire in [[Isaach]] and the [[Aed Desert]], engaged the Imperial forces at Ulster and forced the forces beseiging Leonster to retreat and reinforce their capital. Seliph sent [[Diarmuid]], Nanna's brother, as a messenger to Leif, and Leif hastened to Ulster to help speed up Seliph's battle there. By the time Leif and his forces arrived, however, Ulster had fallen and Bloom had retreated to Conote. At Ulster, Leif met Seliph for the first time, and conferred with Seliph and [[Julia]] on their next moves. They decided there to split up again: Seliph would attack Bloom at Conote, while Leif would attack Raydrik at Munster.

With Seliph, Leif's next step after freeing the Munster District was taking on Thracia itself. Thracia's King Travant remained an ally with the Empire and refused to surrender, necessitating an invasion of Thracia to put an end to the threat. During the early stages of the battle, Leif caught sight of a lone female wyvern rider sadly observing the battle from Thracia's peaks, and on discussing this with Finn, he learned the wyvern rider's identity: [[Altena]], long presumed dead and wielding the [[Gáe Bolg]] in the service of Travant, her adoptive father. During the next stage of the battle Leif tried to convince Altena of her true parentage, and while she was reluctant to believe him, she quickly realised he was telling the truth. Altena then returned to Castle Thracia to confront Travant about this revelation, and soon after Travant's demise joined with Seliph's army.

Leif is playable in the game's second generation. Although his parents—[[Ethlyn]] and [[Quan]]—are fixed, his stats are still variable and are calculated depending on his parents' stats when they leave [[Sigurd]]'s party at the end of [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]]. Unlike most male child characters, Leif primarily [[Inheritance|inherits]] his stats from Ethlyn rather than his father, and will inherit her swords instead of Quan's lances (which are instead inherited by [[Altena]]).

|recruit=[[Beyond the Desert|Chapter 7]], automatically from the start

:Stats to the left of the "~" are Leif's minimum stats, those he will have if neither Quan nor Ethlyn gain any stats and the random number used to generate luck is its lowest value. Stats to the right of the "~" are Leif's average stats, calculated from his parents' average stats at level 30; this luck stat can vary by up to ±5.

:Leif will inherit the swords and items which were in the possession of his mother, [[Ethlyn]], at the end of [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], but will not inherit her staves or lances. The inherited amount of gold can vary from 2,000 to 12,000.

As a child unit, Leif will inherit stats, [[skills]], and items from his parents: [[Quan]] and [[Ethlyn]]; since they are a preset pairing, the player cannot influence Leif's skills, but they can influence Leif's inventory. As Quan and Ethlyn leave Sigurd's army after [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], any items Leif inherits will be unavailable for Chapters [[Dance in the Skies|4]], [[Doorway to Destiny|5]], and [[Heir of Light|6]]. Leif has reversed inheritance from most other child units, inheriting items from his mother, not his father. Ethlyn is not as strong a combat unit as Quan and does not perform as well in the [[arena]]—as such, she generally has less [[gold]], and will rely on getting items directly or getting the gold to purchase them from Quan or [[village]]s.

One of the best items Leif can inherit is the [[Paragon Ring]], which allows him to level up much faster and reach his promotion sooner. As the Paragon Ring is an item in particularly high demand, it may be inherited by another unit; in such case, the [[Bargain Ring]] is another strong item for Leif to inherit, as it allows him to purchase the Paragon Ring at a reduced price while allowing another unit to make use of it, though a number of units may also want the Bargain Ring for the same purpose. Additionally, Leif can use the [[Brave Sword]] at base, alleviating his lack of Follow-Up; however, as many as six units in Chapter 6 may also be able to use it at base and each will always have or can inherit Follow-Up, and may make stronger users of the Brave Sword. Furthermore, many of the enemies attacking Leif in Chapter 7 are [[Armored Sword]]s, so an [[Armorslayer]] may be particularly useful.

Without the right effort or inheritance, Leif will be unpromoted until late in the game; however, with optimal inheritance, he can promote as early as the end of Chapter 7. Leif's promotion to Master Knight is important, as it has the best promotion bonuses in the game.

When promoted, Leif will have 9 movement, the highest available in the game. Canto grants Leif additional flexibility with his movement; additionally, it allows him to equip a different item after attacking, so he can attack an enemy with a [[bow]] to avoid a counter-attack then switch to a melee weapon, or use a staff then switch to a weapon to retaliate on enemy phase. Leif is also an excellent staff user; not only is he mounted, but he has an A-rank in staves, allowing him to use every staff but [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]]. As a mounted unit, Leif can use the [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]] staff particularly effectively by moving [[Lene]] or [[Laylea]] to his position, where they can dance for the player's front-line units, letting them advance faster; if Leif is one of the units refreshed, he can do so repeatedly. Furthermore, Leif is one of the better users of [[Tornado]], as the other units who can use Tornado—[[Tine]], [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]], [[Ced]], and [[Coirpre]]—can only use Tornado if [[Lewyn]] is their father, in which case they (other than Tine) would prefer using [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]], and are all infantry units with lower bulk than Leif.

Leif is the game's main character. Using him is necessary to seize thrones and clear some chapters. His [[death]], or if he gets [[capture]]d and taken out of the map, is an automatic Game Over.

|recruit=[[The Warrior of Fiana|Chapter 1]], automatically from the start

Leif is a [[Lord]] available from the start of the game. His base stats and growths are generally low—particularly, his constitution of 5 means he will be weighed down by every sword in the game except the [[Slim Sword]] and the [[Rapier]], and his personal [[Light Brand]] will reduce his [[attack speed]] to 0. Even when he does follow up, his FCM of 2 is too low to reliably boost his damage through critical hits, especially with his low skill base. Leif can be aided by the [[Adept]] skill and an [[Action|action star]], but both are luck-based, and the former is dependent upon his low attack speed. Furthermore, his low strength renders him unable to damage the armored enemies in the early-game without using an effective weapon or the Light Brand at range. Leif also has a late promotion (at the end of [[The Liberation of Leonster|Chapter&nbsp;18]]) that provides relatively meager boosts to his stats.

Leif possesses a number of non-statistical strengths. Leif is the only unit available in every chapter, the only unit who does not suffer [[fatigue]], and is the only unit besides [[Lifis]] who stays during the transition between Chapters [[Kelbeth's Gate|3]] and [[The Dungeon|4]]. This makes him a strong candidate for the [[Life Ring|Life]], [[Shield Ring|Shield]], and [[Speed Ring]]s obtained in the chapters before. The Light Brand, Leif's [[personal weapon]], deals magic damage when used as an indirect attack, acting like a [[Lightning|Light]] tome; though Leif's base magic stat is low, the high might of the Light Brand compensates for this, and as magic is very lacking among physical units, Leif can deal more damage with it than most other units available in the Munster chapters. Anyone can use the [[Flame Sword]] that [[Eyvel]] starts with to accomplish a similar purpose, and it boosts its user's magic by 5&nbsp;points—dealing slightly more damage than the Light Brand when attacking at range—but its high weapon level requirement of B makes only Leif or [[Fergus]] able to use it in short time.

From [[The Shield of Thracia|Chapter&nbsp;7]] through mid-game, Leif's combat begins to be eclipsed by that of other units. However, Leif can still provide support bonuses to many great units, such as [[Nanna]], [[Finn]], and [[Asbel]]. Leif's support utility can further be improved with the [[King Sword]], which grants the [[Charm]] skill. As Leif is not affected by fatigue, he will always be available to provide these bonuses. In addition, his immunity to fatigue also makes him immune to the [[Sleep (condition)|Sleep]] and [[Berserk (condition)|Berserk]] statuses; this can sometimes allow him to safely approach and neutralize enemy staff users in certain situations where other units might not be able to.

Leif can also provide the benefits of [[authority]]; the number of leadership stars Leif has changes over the course of the game, corresponding with the status of his advisors, [[August]] and [[Dryas]]:

*Leif gains one star at the end of [[The Emblem of Njörun|Chapter&nbsp;9]], and loses it at the end of [[The Liberation of Leonster|Chapter&nbsp;18]].

While Leif's promotion is unimpressive, the class he promotes to is not considered to be promoted for gaining [[experience]]. Crusader Scrolls (especially the ones obtained in the lategame) can be used to improve Leif's growths and make him more viable as a combat unit later in the game. The aforementioned King Sword also improves his combat, being a 13&nbsp;[[might]], 20%&nbsp;crit [[brave weapon]]; the [[Bragi Sword]], having 15&nbsp;might, granting [[Miracle]], and acting as an [[Armorslayer]], is also useful, especially against the final boss. However, neither weapon is exclusive to him, and his contributions with them can be replicated by other units: the King Sword can be used by anyone with a C-level in swords; the Bragi Sword can also be used by Nanna, Fergus, and [[Diarmuid]].

If Leif's physical bulk and speed have been significantly improved enough for him to face an extensive enemy phase without fear of dying, he can benefit from the [[Accost Manual]] (obtained in [[Dandelion|Chapter&nbsp;12x]]), allowing him to goad enemy [[Ballista (class)|Ballista]]e into shooting at him and quickly draining their ammunition; HP is Leif's best growth and Ballistae have 0&nbsp;attack speed, meaning he can reliably activate Accost. Because Leif is immune to fatigue, he can be better ballista bait than most other units who will gain fatigue from being attacked. By equipping the Light Brand for the +10&nbsp;luck and taking advantage of defensive [[terrain]] to boost his avoid, he becomes very difficult for ballistae (and most enemies) to hit.

Along with Lord Seliph, the rightful heir to the Imperial throne, Leif led the war to liberate Jugdral. After seizing the capital of [[Belhalla]], Leif went on to fight numerous battles throughout the continent. When all was said and done, Leif's fame and renown ultimately surpassed even that of Holy King Seliph. In year 780 of the Grannvale calendar, North and South Thracia were unified into one country. Leif took the throne of this New Kingdom of Thracia, and together with {{h|his queen, Nanna, and|If Nanna is alive}} his older sister, Altena, led his motherland into a new era of prosperity. They were beloved by the people of North and South alike. Dedicating their lives to reunifying Thracia, Leif and Altena were hailed as the successors to [[Dáinn]] and [[Njörun]].
