'''Pelleas''' (Japanese: {{hl|ペレアス|Pereasu}} ''Pelleas'') is a character in {{FE10}}, and he first appears in [[The Lost Heir|Part I, Chapter 5]].


Pelleas is the presumed son of the late Mad King [[Ashnard]] and succeeds him as king of [[Daein]]. He was found as a commoner by [[Izuka]], who identified him as Ashnard's missing heir and became his advisor and close confidant. He first plays a key role in the country's liberation from [[Begnion]] occupation in Part I, with the help of [[Micaiah]] and the [[Dawn Brigade]], and later on in Part III, during the war between Begnion and the [[Laguz Alliance]].

On an initial playthrough, Pelleas is a non-playable character and never appears during gameplay. Despite this, he plays a major role in the story as the apparent heir to the throne of [[Daein]]. In Part I, he makes [[Micaiah]] the commander of his army. Although he never appears to take part in any battle himself, he and his advisor [[Izuka]] are coming up with plans for the army to follow. After Micaiah is appointed the commander of Daein's army and questions most of Izuka's advice, he is seen struggling with the situation at hand. At the end of Part I, he is crowned king of Daein, and promotes Micaiah to be the commander of the forces of the newly liberated Daein.
 
In Part III, it is revealed he signed a [[Blood Pact]] with [[Lekain]], a senator of [[Begnion]], which forces him to raise his army against the [[Laguz Alliance]]. If the player does not have clear game data, he eventually dies by the hands of Micaiah or [[Tauroneo]] in the hopes of liberating Daein from the impact of the blood pact in the process.
 
If the player has clear game data, Micaiah is given the option to save him, causing him to appear in [[From Pain, Awakening|Part III, Endgame]] and subsequently becoming playable in Part IV, although he does not play a major role from this point forward.

Pelleas is a [[Dark Sage]] who joins [[Tibarn]]'s team in Part IV, being one of the only two units in the game, along with [[Lehran]], who can use [[dark magic]] and are only recruitable from a second playthrough onward. Filling in as the [[Est]] archaetype in ''Radiant Dawn'', his base stats are below average, especially when taking into account that he joins at a late point in the game where some of his teammates may have already been promoted to third-tier classes and with enemies whose stats are raised accordingly, while he himself is a level 12 second-tier class. To compensate, he has strong stat growths, with better growths in [[Magic (stat)|magic]], [[speed]] (having the second highest speed growth out of all the spellcasters in ''Radiant Dawn''), [[resistance]], and [[Skill (stat)|skill]] in particular. Pelleas has a relatively stable [[biorhythm]] pattern, resulting in less severe penalties to his [[avoid]] and [[hit]] rates. His base [[strength]] is just high enough to prevent him from being weighed down by all of his usable tomes except [[Balberith]], [[Fenrir]], and [[Bolting]]. On the downside, his base speed is low, making him more prone to getting [[Attack speed|double attacked]] by opponents until his high speed growth kicks in. Additionally, dark tomes have low accuracy, meaning he may struggle to land accurate hits with his strong magic. He can alternatively use [[thunder (magic)|thunder]] tomes, exchanging raw might for a slight accuracy boost; this additionally allows him to deal bonus damage against the dragon units in chapter 4-5 and (assuming he is brought into the Tower) 4-E. Especially on easier difficulties, it is possible for Pelleas to promote to an [[Arch Sage]] during his join chapter via combat EXP alone. With the abundant thicket tiles scattered throughout the map, Pelleas can be semi-reliably left exposed to open combat and dodge incoming attacks with relative ease. Though his speed cap will limit his ability to double attack in the endgame chapters, his high resistance will help his survivability against the abundant magic units in the final few chapters. He also gets a [[Trinity of Magic]] advantage against enemy [[Spirit]]s by using dark magic against them.

When promoted, he additionally gains usage of [[staff|staves]]. In comparison to the anima-specialist [[Arch Sage]]s, he starts with a significantly higher [[Weapon level|proficiency]] with staves, at a B rank, in order to accommodate for his late join time. His staff rank can be raised to a maximum of an S rank, being the only Arch Sage that is able to do so, while anima-specialist Arch Sages can only reach an A rank. This effectively means that he is the only Arch Sage that can use the [[Fortify]] staff, and can pretty much use every other staves in the game excluding the SS ranked [[Matrona]] and [[Ashera Staff]].

Pelleas has innate [[Miracle]], which can save him from fatal blows, though it isn't reliable due to his low luck stat. He can somewhat benefit from [[Adept]] and [[Vantage]] once his high speed growth start to take effect. [[Shade (skill)|Shade]] or [[Stillness]] may slightly help him survive better but should not be overdependent on. Pelleas can use [[Wrath]] or [[Resolve]] to give himself a significant boost in attack power, due to his durability being mediocre enough to drop him to low health, but high enough to prevent him from dying easily. If Pelleas has not been promoted by chapter 4-5, he can equip [[Paragon]] to help gain more combat EXP.

Pelleas has a water affinity which gives a boost to attack and defense. As his main magic specialty are the powerful, but inaccurate dark tomes, partnering Pelleas with a unit with a heaven affinity can help him land more accurate hits. An earth affinity can help strengthen his dodging ability, helping his durability. A wind affinity can accomplish both at the same time, albeit to a weaker extent.
