— Holyn

(Japanese: ホリン Holyn) was an Isaachian nobleman and the son of the lord of Isaach's House Sophara, better known as a mercenary and gladiator travelling across Jugdral. He allied with Sigurd's army during the war with Agustria and beyond, until his presumed death in the Battle of Belhalla.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

During the Agustrian war with Sigurd's army, Holyn was fighting in the Agustrian gladiatorial scene, having risen to the top rank of gladiators in the region. Upon being defeated in a match by a member of Sigurd's army, he joined Sigurd's army himself, finding inspiration in their pursuit of a cause other than money.

Personality and character

Holyn considered the pursuit of money his primary motivation for his travels and work as a gladiator, but upon his encounter with Sigurd's army he came to consider it a hollow and meaningless endeavor compared to Sigurd's cause and the morale of his soldiers.[1] Ever since they first met in their youth, he harbored a romantic interest in the Isacchian princess Ayra, and was determined to defend her above all else.[2] In this respect he was mindful of ensuring she was prepared in case he was no longer able to protect her.[3]
