'''Medeus''' (Japanese: {{hl|メディウス|Mediusu}} ''Mediuth'') was an [[earth dragon]] king and the only known earth dragon to have willingly become a [[Manakete]]. He was the first and only ruler of the [[Dolhr]] Empire, reviled and feared across [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]] as the tyrannical '''Shadow Dragon''' (Japanese: {{hl|暗黒竜|Ankoku ryū}} ''Dark Dragon''). His years of watching over his captured brethren on behalf of the [[Divine Dragon|divine dragon]] [[Naga]] deeply embittered him against humanity and their cruelty toward his fellow Manaketes, to which he sought revenge by founding Dolhr and subjecting humanity to years of cruel conquest and oppression under his rule.

For all his brutality, Medeus's two reigns over Dolhr were relatively brief, totalling only ten years or so. His first period of rule, presiding over the conflict which would later be called the [[War of Liberation]] was ended with his defeat at the hands of [[Anri]], the future founder of [[Altea]] who wielded the blade of light [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]] against him. A century later Medeus was resurrected a century later through the machinations of the rogue sorcerer [[Gharnef]], and he engaged humanity in another war of conquest dubbed the [[War of Shadows]]. Though he had seen great success in luring human nations to ally with Dolhr, he was undermined by the efforts of Anri's descendant [[Marth]], who killed him again at the climax of the war. Afterward, three years later, the second resurrection of Medeus was the culmination of Gharnef's grand scheme in the [[War of Heroes (Mystery of the Emblem)|War of Heroes]], and this time Medeus took a new form: that of a true [[Shadow Dragon (class)|shadow dragon]].

===The decline of the dragons===
Centuries before the founding of the [[Holy Kingdom of Archanea]], when the dragonkin were experiencing their degeneration, Medeus was the only earth dragon to willingly shed his dragon form and become a [[Manakete]], thus escaping the degeneration of the dragons. All of his fellow earth dragons refused this idea and ultimately devolved into wild beasts which posed a grave threat to the fledgling [[human]] race. At the conclusion of a great war between the [[divine dragon]]s and wild earth dragons, which resulted in all other earth dragons being sealed beneath the [[Dragon's Table]], Medeus was entrusted by the divine dragon [[Naga]] with the task of guarding the altar and its seal.

[[File:Cg fe11 i2.png|thumb|right|Medeus's showdown with [[Anri]].]]
As the age of the dragonkin faded into legend, the following centuries saw mankind rising to take the place of dragons as the dominant species of Archanea, finalized with the foundation of the mighty Holy Kingdom of Archanea in the year 0. As humans came to dominance, however, they also came to frequently abuse and mistreat the surviving Manaketes, now largely powerless. From his post at the Dragon's Table, Medeus was forced to observe the atrocities humans constantly subjected his fellow Manaketes to, and ultimately his fury was such that in the year 490, he united the Manaketes into a new nation of their own, the Dolhr Empire. Dolhr was by policy openly hostile to humans, an attitude which culminated three years later in a conflict known as the [[War of Liberation]], as Dolhr declared war on Archanea as retribution for the horrid treatment of Manaketes by humans.<ref name="xane">{{Cite| Y'see, I don't like humans.

The first great action of the war was the Dolhr assault on the Archanean capital palace, Millennium Court, which was a resounding Dolhr victory. Medeus's army succeeded in conquering Archanea and wiping out all members of its royal family, save for Princess [[Artemis]], who evaded captivity. The rest of the world soon fell too, and so for five years Medeus dominated the entire world.

===The true Shadow Dragon===
===The true Shadow Dragon===
Medeus would not remain dead for long, for a mere three years after the end of the War of Shadows, Gharnef was resurrected from his own demise and executed on a new plan to revive Medeus. By the end of the [[War of Heroes (Mystery of the Emblem)|War of Heroes]], Gharnef and his minions used the life force of four abducted noble maidens to resurrect Medeus at the [[Dragon's Table]], now in an even more powerful form: a true [[Shadow Dragon (class)|Shadow Dragon]]. Even as Gharnef worked to revive Medeus, the seal on the Table, long weakened by the breaking of the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Binding Shield]], had at last begun to fade enough to allow the captive earth dragons to emerge from within its depths to serve Medeus.

Even as this happened, however, Marth had been entrusted by [[Gotoh]] with the task of restoring the Binding Shield and averting the re-emergence of the earth dragons. Having succeeded in completing the shield following the defeat of Emperor [[Hardin]], Marth travelled to the Dragon's Table to stop Medeus's resurrection. By the time Marth reached the Dragon's Table, Falchion in hand, Medeus had already been revived, with the four maidens [[Nyna]], [[Elice]], [[Maria]] and [[Lena]] surrounding him, hypnotised, in preparation to be sacrificed to him to complete the revival process. Around him, wave after wave of earth dragons emerged from the Table to confront Marth, only to be re-sealed by the Binding Shield. Despite his immense newfound power, Medeus fell for the third and final time to the might of Falchion and the Binding Shield wielded together by Marth. As he died Medeus swore that, should mankind's greed overtake it and the Binding Shield be broken again, he would rise from the dead once more. However, according to Gotoh, this death was very likely permanent and completely destroyed any chance of Medeus returning again.<ref>{{Cite|Marth, brave prince of Altea.

Medeus is the final boss of ''Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE'', and is fought on the stage at the peak of [[Illusory Dolhr]].
According to Tiki, Gharnef successfully summoned Medeus in the world where Mirages originate, devastating the world. The dragon was eventually defeated, but could still be revived through the Opera of Shadows and a sufficient supply of Performa. To prevent this, Naga banned all forms of performing arts to prevent the generation of Performa.
Gharnef sought other sources of Performa, and found it through the Idolasphere, which linked the world of Mirages to Tokyo. With the assistance of [[Yatsufusa Hatanaka]], Gharnef gathers enough Performa to perform the Opera of Shadows to revive Medeus in Tokyo. [[Itsuki]] and his team of [[Mirage Master]]s gather the souls of Marth's allies to perform the counter-ritual Opera of Light, but Gharnef takes Marth's soul and sacrifices it along with his own soul to complete Medeus' revival.
Itsuki's group ascends Illusory Dolhr to face the dragon, hoping that Marth's soul within the beast would still resonate if the Opera of Light is attempted close enough to it. Just as Itsuki's part in the Opera comes, Medeus mortally wounds him, to the Mirage Masters' dismay. The souls of Marth's allies fly from the Masters and attack Medeus to take back Marth's soul, which enters Itsuki's body and revives him in a Carnage Form resembling Marth. The Masters complete the Opera and face Medeus in battle, aided by Tiki in her divine dragon form.
The battle consists of two phases, the second of which has Medeus' face break away to reveal a galaxy-like void. Upon the dragon's defeat, all of the Mirages afilliated with the Mirage Masters regain their lost memories of the Mirage world.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
Medeus's primary motivation was his quest for vengeance against [[humanity]]. Before he developed his hatred against humanity, Medeus is implied to be a humble individual, as he was the only Earth Dragon who willingly discarded his dragon form to become a [[Manakete]], and [[Naga]] was able to trust him enough to entrust the task of guarding the [[Dragon's Table]]'s seal to him.
