Personality and character

Priam is notably similar to Ike in many respects: he is not the greatest thinker there is, but he is as talented a swordsman as they come. He is very sociable and easy to get along with, and is fond of telling stories from his travels. In his travels across the world, he pursues power and to further develop himself as a warrior, and so enjoys fighting aginst those who are stronger than him.

Supports

Main article: Priam/Supports

As with the other characters obtained via the SpotPass paralogues, Priam can only support with Robin.

Endings

Priam, Radiant Hero (single ending)
Priam vanished like a breath on the wind. Did his pursuit of true power lead him to a quiet corner of the map? Or did he move to another continent — one where the Radiant Hero's legend held more meaning?

Priam, Radiant Hero & Robin, High Deliverer
Many wrote of Robin's legendary exploits, but accounts of her origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone — she loved her husband, Priam, above all else.

Trivia

The earliest known screenshot of Path of Radiance, wherein Ike appears with the name パリス, Paris.
  • Priam's Japanese name, Paris, is likely named as a reference to the early stages of the development of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: his ancestor, Ike, was named "Paris" in a very early pre-release image of Path of Radiance[1]. Before Priam was formally unveiled with the SpotPass release of his sidequest, the presence of this name in the game's credits and support listings for Robin led to much speculation about him being connected in some way to Ike.
  • Priam shares his Japanese voice actor with Frederick.
  • To further Priam's connection with Ike, he possesses both Sol and Luna, the skills that make up Aether, which was Ike's signature skill in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
  • Three of Priam's starting skills are Swordbreaker, Lancebreaker, and Luna, which can be learned by the Wyvern Lord, Griffon Rider, and Great Knight classes; these classes are inaccessible to Priam.
