'''Saias''' (Japanese: {{hl|サイアス|Saiasu}} ''Cyas'') is the illegitimate son of [[Arvis]] and his lieutenant [[Aida]], the elder half-brother of Prince [[Julius]] and Princess [[Julia]] of [[Grannvale]], an heir to House [[Velthomer]], and a full-blooded descendent of the Crusader [[Fjalar]]<ref>{{Cite|Saias...I know you're aware of the markings of Fjalar that have appeared on your body.

Saias grew up to be a master tactician and, his identity hidden, was eventually appointed Velthomer's court archbishop, a position theorised by Cohen to be able to protect him out of its high status. However, the rise of Julius and the resurgence of the Loptr Church cast this into doubt in spite of the trust and reputation he had among the Grannvale nobility. In time, he came to support and assist [[Leif]]'s liberation army in the [[Munster District]].

Saias is a playable character. In [[The Gates of Leonster|Chapter&nbsp;17A]], Saias appears as an enemy unit on turn&nbsp;10, and leaves on turn&nbsp;15. In [[Across the River|Chapter&nbsp;22]], Saias appears as an enemy unit. He will leave on turn&nbsp;40, if an ally unit reaches him, or if [[Cohen]] is deafeated.

In [[The Fiend's Lair|Chapter&nbsp;23]], Saias appears as a player unit near the chapter's [[seize]] point. In Chapter&nbsp;23, Sais is part of the [[civilian]] faction, and as such does not gain or grant any bonus from [[Authority]]. In the same chapter, [[Leif]] can talk to Saias, giving Leif the [[Bragi Sword]]. If, at the end of Chapter&nbsp;23, [[Ced]] was recruited or any of the civilians is dead, Saias will leave the party.

Line 113: Line 116:
Saias's base [[Magic (stat)|magic]] is very high at 18, only 2 points away from capping. With such a high magic stat, Saias can use status staves like [[Sleep (staff)|Sleep]] and [[Silence (staff)|Silence]] very well. Status staves are useful against enemy [[dark magic]] users with long-range or lethally dangerous tomes like [[Fenrir]] or [[Hel (tome)|Hel]], or with dangerous staves such as [[Berserk (staff)|Berserk]].

Saias does not excel at combat; he comes with no combat skills other than [[Nihil]], and his speed is not high enough to double most enemies with the weight of light tomes. Saias HP and defense are also both low, putting him in danger when facing physical enemies. The player could use statboosters and [[Crusader Scrolls]] to increase his offensive growths rates to make him a competent spellcaster, but he only has 8 levels and 3 chapters for his improved growths to take effect. He is also limited to using only [[light magic]] tomes to fight, which are very scarce, and the only [[shop]] that readily sells them is encountered [[Across the River|one chapter]] before Saias is recruited. He does have the rank to wield Nosferatu, useful against enemy Dark Mages, but for the most part, Saias should stay out of combat and contribute from afar by using staves.

====In comparison to Ced====
====In comparison to Ced====
Saias's biggest disadvantage is the fact that he is mutually exclusive to [[Ced]], who is recruitable in the same chapter as Saias; recruiting Ced will make Saias leave the party at the end of the chapter. Between the two, Ced has better combat, has higher HP — which makes it harder for him to get [[fatigue]]d — and is more durable as well. Saias has one more point of magic and one more action star than Ced, however those matter little, as Saias and Ced offer nearly exact utility. Saias's biggest advantage is his three authority stars compared to Ced's one. Additionally, for faster playthroughs, it takes one more turn to finish the chapter if the player desires to recruit Ced, as the event that causes Ced to appear happens after the player's first turn. Furthermore, Ced's combat is largely overkill due to the low quality of most enemies in ''Thracia'', and other units like [[Galzus]] and [[Asbel]] will have equally strong combat to Ced. Another minor difference between the two is that if Saias stays with Leif's army at the end of Chapter 23, he will provide a hint to the player on how they can recruit Galzus, whereas no other similar hint is offered by Ced.
