Yen'fay was a good man once, but he is my brother no more! If we meet on the battlefield, I would cut him down, same as any other imperial.
— Say'ri, on Yen'fay's betrayal

Yen'fay (pronounced /⁠jɛnˈfeɪ⁠/[key][1]; Japanese: レンハ Lenha) is an antagonist, and later playable character, in Fire Emblem Awakening. He was the prince of the nation of Chon'sin, on the continent of Valm, before the Valmese Empire led by Walhart conquered his nation, and forced him into their service, in exchange for sparing his sister Say'ri's life.

Personality and character

Supports

Main article: Yen'fay/Supports

As with the other characters obtained via the SpotPass paralogues, Yen'fay can only support with Robin, and Morgan, if a female Avatar marries Yen'fay. Despite his sister Say'ri being a playable character, he cannot support with her.

Endings

Yen'fay, Blade Legend (single ending)
Yen'fay vanished like the mist, never to be seen again. Some say he returned to the Outrealm from whence he came, but none were able to witness the great swordsman's departure.

Yen'fay, Blade Legend & 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, Yen'fay, above all else.
