“	Sigurd and the few soldiers left in Chalphy are out here fighting for their lives! I can't just leave them hanging...	”	— Azelle

Azelle (Japanese: アゼル Azel) was a nobleman of House Velthomer of Grannvale, and the younger half-brother of its Duke Arvis. In Grann 757, he set out to join Sigurd in repelling the Verdane invasion of Grannvale, having heard of the threat to Edain of Yngvi by Verdane forces, along with his best friend, Lex of Dozel.

Biography

Azelle was one of the many illegitimate children of Duke Victor of Velthomer, and his mother was a maidservant to Victor's wife, Cigyun, who was a plain woman who had had a difficult childhood; Azelle was conceived as the result of drunken behavior by Victor, in what may have been a rape. When Victor learned of the maid's pregnancy, he violently attempted to drive the maid away, which Cigyun attempted to stop. Azelle was born just before Victor committed suicide and Cigyun disappeared. When Victor's legitimate son Arvis took the Velthomer throne, although he had the rest of Victor's conquests and illegitimate children exiled, he took Azelle and the maid in and treated them as his own family, although the maid died some ten years after this.

Growing up among the nobility of Grannvale, Azelle became close friends with Lex of Dozel and Tailtiu of Friege. Early in the Verdane raid on Grannvale, Azelle and Lex arrived from the north to assist Sigurd in fighting the invasion in opposition to Arvis's wishes, though Lex teased Azelle over how the latter may have actually been motivated to help by his infatuation with Edain. Following the Verdane skirmish, he continued to fight with Sigurd in Agustria, Silesse and beyond until his presumed death in the Battle of Belhalla.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Azelle has a really rocky start due to his low movement and frailty. However, he has one of the best promotion bonuses in the game, mainly due to gaining a mount and a sword. When promoted, his magic makes him useful against the often high defense, low resistance bosses of gen 1. He's also the best user of the Earth Sword, which is useful against endgame bosses for bypassing Pavise. Getting Azelle to promote can be a tough process. He has very bad arena performance and will likely need a money dump from Dew to buy the Paragon Ring. He has a few decent training spots outside of arena, such as when he first joins in Prologue, and in Mackily in Chapter 2. But all in all, it is a tough road to promotion and will likely require some rigging or some very slow play to pull off. When using Azelle, be sure to swap out the Fire tome for something better as soon as he can, as it weighs down Azelle quite a bit.

As a father

Azelle may seem like a father in high demand due to passing down Follow-Up, but unfortunately he also passes down mage stats, which a lot of children don't appreciate. Tailtiu and Lachesis are really the only two mothers whose children want Follow-Up and wouldn't mind the mage stats. Tailtiu's kids are already mages, Lachesis' daughter appreciates the magic boost and her son can use magic swords to fight instead. Azelle is considered one of the better pairings for Tailtiu, but Lachesis has better options. Edain is also worth noting as a pairing since it allows you to obtain Rescue in gen 1, but Claud is considered better for that route since an Azelle-fathered Lana cannot inherit Rescue.

Personality and character

Though he hated fighting, Azelle was nonetheless driven to support Sigurd in repelling the Verdane invasion by the threat it posed to Edain's life, as a result of his ongoing romantic interest in Edain herself which he developed upon first meeting her at a young age. Despite holding a deep respect for him as both a brother and a father figure, Azelle was terrified of Arvis and believed that he considered him to be a nothing but a burden incapable of meeting his expectations.
