Gender Female* Race Human Starting class Unknown (presumably Nomadic Trooper) Appearance(s) Mentioned, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

Hanon (Japanese: ハノン Hanon) was one of the Eight Legends of Elibe who fought in the Scouring. Along side Elimine they make up the two female members of the legendary group. Athos addressed Lyndis as a "daughter of Hanon and Roland" when they met at the end of either Living Legend or Genesis. Hanon and Barigan are the least elaborated warriors. She wielded the legendary bow, Mulagir.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Hanon is a backstory character and is not seen in-game, having died presumably many centuries before the start of either game.

Trivia

• In the opening to Eliwood’s (or Hector’s) story, the English version of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade refers to Hanon as a male, even though Hanon is a female. This is a localisation-error and does not exist in the Japanese version of the game.
