Fire Emblem Gaiden

Celica comes to him for information and help; when Halcyon is spoken to he promotes Alm.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Role
Personality and character
Halcyon, despite worshiping Duma seems to be of a kind and wise disposition, as the villagers he seeks refuge with hold him in high regard, but resent Jedah[2][3].
Other appearances
Fire Emblem Gaiden (manga)
Halcyon appears in a similar role to his in Gaiden.
Halcyon appears before Celica in Lost Treescape, and saves her and her group from the forest's corruption; the roots and branches of the trees had attempted to engulf them. Hark tells Celica that the forest has become tainted, and he cannot leave it, as he is the only one preventing it from spreading.
Celica understands Halcyon cannot leave, and asks that Halcyon bless Alm. Halcyon complies with her request. Celica gets a vision of Alm fighting; Alm, suddenly empowered, beheads a Rigelian arcanist and causes the accompanying monsters to flee. Halcyon tells Celica it is time to continue her journey to the Duma Tower; however, Jedah casts a spell on Celica and she disappears. After a moment of panic, Halcyon tells Celica's companions that she is not yet dead, and she has been warped somewhere distant.
