'''Alan''' is a character from {{FE3}}. He is a [[paladin]].
'''Arran''' is a [[paladin]] from [[Altea]]. He appears in {{title|Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light}}, {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and both of the DS remakes.
 
==Biography==
'''Note:''' This biography assumes that Arran was recruited in [[The Battle for Altea|Chapter 16]] of {{title|Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light}} and its remakes instead of Samson.
{{refs}}<!--backstory in first paragraph-->
 
Arran was once a knight for an unnamed kingdom. The civilians of the kingdom started a rebellion due to them being unable to survive the poor living conditions of their home, and Arran was ordered by his liege to suppress the rebellion. Arran followed his liege's orders despite his objections, an action that he would later heavily regret. Afterwards, Arran left his liege and became a wandering knight in order to consider what it means to be a knight, eventually settling in a village in [[Altea]].
 
During the [[Archanean League]]'s reclaiming of Altea in the [[War of Shadows]]. The village that Arran was living in was approached by Prince [[Marth]] and Arran offered to fight for Marth's cause, an offer that Marth accepted. Arran then assisted Marth throughout the war. Following the end of the war, Arran continued to stay by Marth's side as a soldier for Altea. It is also presumably during this time that he developed a serious illness, something he hid from everyone else.
 
Two years later, Marth was directed by Emperor [[Hardin]] of [[Archanea (country)|Archanea]] to suppress the large rebellions occurring in [[Grust]] and [[Macedon]]. Arran was one of the soldiers deployed to stop these rebellions. Later on, when Marth's defiance towards the corrupt Archanean general [[Lang]]'s orders begun the [[War of Heroes (Archanea)|War of Heroes]], Arran followed and continued to fight for Marth throughout the war. After the defeat of [[Medeus]] and the end of the war, Arran died peacefully of his illness.
 
=={{FE1}}==
===Role===
Arran lives in a village near the [[Altea]]n castle near another village which has bad blood with Arran's village. When [[Marth]]'s army arrives to retake Altea, he has to choose between visiting Arran's village and recruiting him, or visiting the other village and recruiting the hero [[Samson]]. If Arran is chosen, he serves as a soldier in Marth's army for the rest of the [[War of Shadows]].

===Analysis===
{{analysis}}
Arran joins in Chapter&nbsp;16 as a pre-promoted Paladin. Because of his late recruitment he won't have much time to contribute or grow. Unfortunately, by the time you recruit him he will likely not hold up in comparison to your other units. He does have some strong attributes: his movement is excellent at 10, his weapon level is high enough to use every sword not exclusive to Marth and every lance besides the Gradivus, his speed and defense are fairly decent and his growths in HP, strength, skill, weapon level, speed and luck are all serviceable. He is also a good candidate to use the Manual to allow him to use the Gradivus, assuming you don't have a better unit who can use it. Unfortunately, these decent attributes don't make up for his weaknesses. Most of his stats, especially his strength, are fairly poor for how late he joins. In order to bring him on par with your trained up units he will need to get several levels or use multiple stat boosters, however with how late he joins by the time he is on par with your other units through level ups the game will be close to done, and your stat boosters are better used elsewhere. If you don't have any units that can effectively use the Gradivus when Arran is recruited he is your best bet, but otherwise he has very little utility.
 
===In comparison to Samson===
The main disadvantage Samson has to Arran is his movement: Arran is a Paladin with 10 movement, while Samson is a Hero with 7. This difference is significant as it makes Arran much better at traversing the map, and gives him more options to be positioned; Samson's movement is serviceable but is still weaker. Arran is also able to use lances, which Samson cannot, meaning he can use useful weapons like the Javelin, Silver Lance, and potentially Gradivus if he increases his weapon level by 4—either through leveling up or using the Manual. Arran also has stronger growths in strength and speed, which are very significant stats. However, Samson's base stats in strength, skill, speed, and luck are significantly higher, so even with Arran's superior growths in speed and strength he will likely not surpass Samson's stats. His speed in particular make it very easy for Samson to double, so he will more consistently one-round enemies. Arran typically needs some investment to hold his own compared to other units, but Samson can compete as soon as he joins. The most practical reason to deploy Arran or Samson is to fill out a roster, and for that purpose Samson is more useful as he starts stronger, though he does not get access to a weapon as powerful as the Gradivus later.

====Analysis====
{{analysis}}
Arran is the alternative to recruiting [[Samson]]. Unlike most cases, where having a horse is better, Arran suffers from significantly more flaws than his foot counterpart. His mounted bases are merely mediocre; they are enough to double every remaining mounted enemy and defeat them in two rounds with a [[Silver Lance]], but he struggles against fast infantry units like [[Hero]]es or [[Sniper]]s. His bulk, while on the low side, is still workable; like Samson, he can survive one hit from any enemy but [[Camus]] or [[Medeus]].
 
Arran's biggest flaw is that he is a mounted unit. Counting the map he is recruited on, four out of the eight remaining maps are indoors; they force him off of his horse and reduce his already mediocre stats. At that point, he becomes a strictly inferior version of Samson; his awful 6&nbsp;strength and 8&nbsp;speed fails to provide any offensive presence, and the latter makes him prone to being doubled and one-rounded by enemy Heroes and Snipers with silver weapons. Even while mounted, his durability is about the same as Samson, being unable to survive two hits from stronger enemies; while Arran's offensive growths are good, the same cannot be said about his poor defense and HP growths. On outdoor maps, he is unable to get too much mileage out of having 3 more movement than Samson because he cannot go beyond the front line, or he will risk dying to multiple enemies, preventing him from doing anything noteworthy that Samson cannot already do.
 
===Book 2===
====Role====
During the time between {{FE11}} and {{FE12}}, Arran contracts a disease that severely hampers his combat abilities and will eventually kill him. Despite this, he continues to serve [[Marth]] as one of his knights. One day, Marth is given an imperial edict by [[Hardin]] of [[Archanea (country)|Archanea]] to deploy his troops to [[Grust]] to quash a rebellion led by General [[Lorenz (Shadow Dragon)|Lorenz]]. Arran is among the knights Marth chooses to accompany him, and he continues to serve Marth throughout the [[War of Heroes (Archanea)|War of Heroes]].

====Analysis====
{{analysis}}
Arran is not that useful. While he has a Silver Lance, [[Cecil]]'s base weapon level of seven is high enough to use it as well. While he does have a base stat of six in resistance with the cavaliers having a base of zero, there won't be any magic-using enemies until Chapter&nbsp;5, by which time the player will have [[Catria]], [[Palla]], [[Sirius]], and [[Caeda]]. He does have a higher base speed stat than any of the three cavaliers, but in a few level ups he will be outclassed. His defense, however, is good and it will take a bit for the cavaliers to reach his defense, as they all have a low defense growth rate; however, Palla has a similar defense stat (one less than Arran). Due to Arran's very low growth rates, it is probably not a good idea to use him long term. Arran also has the disadvantage of being completely outclassed by Sirius, who joins three chapters later with better bases in all areas except luck and resistance, and better growths everywhere except resistance.

===Analysis===
{{analysis}}
Arran joins in Chapter&nbsp;16 of ''Shadow Dragon'' as a pre-promoted level&nbsp;10 [[Paladin]]. Arran's personal base stats are very low, and reclassing does not improve them. While his growths are high for a pre-promote, he does not have many levels to gain, and he gains experience slower because of his level. His base stats are worse than [[Samson]]'s by a significant margin, and the player can only recruit either him or Samson. Samson also has a more unique niche; many units in ''Shadow Dragon'' have a good lance rank, but fewer have a good axe rank like Samson does.
 
Arran does have A rank in lances; it is the highest base lance rank in the game among playable units, and with it, Arran can use every lance in the game with no investment. If the player gives him powerful weapons like the [[Gradivus]], Arran can deal significant damage despite his low stats. Arran can also use lances that deal effective damage, such as [[Ridersbane]] and [[Dragonpike]]. However, at this point of the game, the player will have access to many effective lance users, and Arran's base stats are very poor, making him one of the worst candidates for their usage.

During the time between {{FE11}} and {{FE12}}, Arran contracts a disease that severely hampers his combat abilities and will eventually kill him.

===Analysis===
{{analysis}}
Arran is the first prepromoted unit you get access to in ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' and, as such, has both good bases and high weapon levels for his join time. Furthermore, he has access to the silver lance to deal high damage against the earlygame enemies and set up kills for your other units. Arran’s stats won't be very impressive for long, however, due to his terrible growth rates and the high growths of most other characters in ''New Mystery''. In addition, seeing as the enemies in ''New Mystery'' are generally powerful and grow in strength faster than Arran does, he will become irrelevant combat wise around the midgame ([[Palla]] and [[Sirius]] joining a few chapters later with not only the same lance rank but also higher bases and growths doesn’t help either). Arran's best niches are achieved through reclassing: he can become a [[General]] to serve as a great tank against the powerful early-game enemies, a [[Dracoknight]] to improve his strength and give extra flying utility to the army, or serve as a staffbot by reclassing to either a [[Sage]] or a [[Bishop]]. Overall, like a typical [[Jagen]] unit, Arran is very useful in the earlygame and can find some use in the midgame as well, but falls off afterward.

==Trivia==
*Arran's name, paired with the name of [[Samson]]'s, who the player must choose between in ''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light''/''Shadow Dragon'', is a possible pun on major Nintendo character [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]].
* The developers originally intended for the plot of ''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light'' to change depending on whether the player recruited Arran or Samson, but the limitations of the [[Family Computer]] made this impossible. This concept later served as the basis of the split versions and storylines of {{FE14}}, in which [[Corrin]] must choose to side with either [[Nohr|the country that adopted and raised them]], [[Hoshido|the alleged country of their birth]], or neither, with their decision having major ramifications on the games' plot.<ref>{{Cite person|quote=In the first Emblem game, depending on which village you went to, you could only choose either Arran or Samson.
