==Biography==
Febail's services as a mercenary were employed by [[Bloom]] of [[Friege]] in a bid to raise forces to oppose [[Seliph]]'s army as it closed in on [[Connacht]], to which Febail reluctantly accepted, in desperate need of the funds. He was convinced to stand down by [[Patty]], now allied with Seliph, and himself joined the liberation force.

Febail's services as a mercenary were employed by [[Bloom]] of [[Friege]] in a bid to raise forces to oppose [[Seliph]]'s army as it closed in on [[Conote]], to which Febail reluctantly accepted, in desperate need of the funds. He was convinced to stand down by Patty, now allied with Seliph, and himself joined the liberation force.
Febail is a playable character in the second generation, if [[Brigid]] was married and still alive at the end of [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter&nbsp;5]]. In [[The Wyvern Knights of Thracia|Chapter&nbsp;8]], Febail appear as an enemy unit affiliated with [[Connacht]]. He appears on turn&nbsp;3, and moves to attack [[Leonster]] castle. He is recruited when [[talk]]ed to by [[Patty]]. Unlike other child characters, Febail will [[Inheritance|inherit]] his inventory from his mother [[Brigid]].

Febail is a level 9 [[Bow Fighter]] and his primary usefulness is right after he joins. In his joining chapter, he finds himself next to [[Ishtar]], a powerful boss who very few units can kill. However, Febail can kill her in one round with the [[Yewfelle]], a Holy Weapon he inherits from his mother, [[Brigid]]. He is the only unit who can use it in the second generation of ''Genealogy'', making him excellent at 2-range combat thanks to the bow’s outstanding might and stat bonuses.
 
Febail’s main problem is his lack of a mount. Febail will always fall behind mounted units and will never gain movement naturally, because his promotion does not grant a movement increase. The [[Leg Ring]] can help him keep up, but many stronger units compete for it, and some stand more to gain from it than Febail does.
 
Febail’s other issue is his lack of 1-range combat. This prevents Febail from countering 1-range enemies, making his enemy phase potential very low. He can only fight on enemy phase if he faces an entire group of 2-range enemies, a situation that never happens in the second generation of ''Genealogy''. Between that and his low movement, Febail will seldom contribute much to the army beyond his joining chapter, where he has the honor of reliably killing [[Ishtar]] in one round.
 
Fortunately, Febail does not lack positive traits. His 2-range combat is excellent — he will always have the highest bow rank and will inherit the Yewfelle from his mother, and also other bows from her inventory. He also has [[Follow-Up]] regardless of his father, making his performance very similar regardless of his parentage. This makes him the most powerful archer by far in the second generation, although [[Lester]] has a mount to make up for his lower attacking power.
 
Since Febail can reliably clear the arena in every chapter, he can be paired with a unit with weak combat who struggles to get gold. This will allow that unit to gain the money they need through Febail. Febail can also be effective at killing difficult bosses after his joining chapter, especially if his father is [[Alec]], because then he gains [[Nihil]]. However, because of his movement issues and other Holy Weapon users existing in the second generation, he faces strong competition in that department.
 
Febail may inherit additional offensive skills from certain fathers, or [[Paragon]] from [[Lex]], but they do not significantly affect his ability to contribute. Conversely, Febail is also immune to “bad” pairings. Even with a magic-oriented father like [[Azelle]] or [[Claud]], the Yewfelle and Follow-Up will keep his 2-range combat good. Thanks to that, he is among the most reliable units in the second generation of ''Genealogy'', because he will perform at a similar level regardless of circumstances.

Febail is a level&nbsp;9 [[Bow Fighter]] and his primary usefulness is right after he joins. He can be recuited next to [[Ishtar]], a powerful boss, whom he can defeat in one shot with [[Yewfelle]], a Holy Weapon he inherits from his mother, [[Brigid]].

He can only fight on enemy phase if he faces an entire group of 2-range enemies, a situation that never happens in the second generation of ''Genealogy''. Between that and his low movement, Febail will seldom contribute much to the army beyond his joining chapter. Yewfelle has the lowest hit rate of any holy weapon, which results in it having hit issues against enemy holy weapon wielders later in the game.
Febail does not lack positive traits. His 2-range combat is excellent—he will always have the highest bow rank and will inherit Yewfelle from his mother, and also other bows from her inventory. He also has [[Follow-Up]] regardless of his father, making his performance very similar regardless of his parentage.
Since Febail can reliably clear the arena in every chapter, he can be paired with a unit with weak combat who struggles to get gold. This will allow that unit to gain the money they need through Febail. Febail can also be effective at killing difficult bosses after his joining chapter, especially as he hits at 2-range, which some bosses cannot counter at, as well as Yewfelle granting +10 Strength and thus having an effective might of 40. However, because of his movement issues and other Holy Weapon users existing in the second generation, he faces strong competition in that department.
Febail may inherit additional offensive skills from certain fathers, or [[Paragon]] from [[Lex]], but they do not significantly affect his ability to contribute. While inheriting [[Adept]] or [[Accost]] can greatly improve Febail's firepower to the point where he can bring down tough bosses like [[Arvis]] or even [[Julius]] in one round when other Holy Weapon users need several, Febail needs to spend quite a few turns to reach these bosses due to his infantry movement. Conversely, Febail is also immune to "bad" pairings. Even with a magic-oriented father like [[Azelle]] or [[Claud]], Yewfelle and Follow-Up will keep his 2-range combat good. Thanks to that, he is among the most reliable units in the second generation of ''Genealogy'', because he will perform at a similar level regardless of circumstances.
