Amongst such tragic conditions, finally one youth stood up. His name was Iote. He and his companions escaped to the forests and fought, riding wyverns, to continue the battle of emancipation.
— Book II Chapter 3 of Mystery of the Emblem introduction.

Iote (Japanese: アイオテ Iote) was the first king of Macedon.

Biography

During the War of Liberation, Iote was but one of many slaves of the Dolhr Empire, dispatched to the untamed forests of Dolhr's southern reaches. In time, he and some of his fellow slaves escaped captivity, learned to tame and ride the wild wyverns of the region, and commenced a rebellion against Dolhr.[1]

In the year 503, five years after the downfall of Dolhr and the end of the War of Liberation, Iote founded the kingdom of Macedon and became its first king.[1] The shield he used in his rebellion became known as Iote's Shield and was one of the national treasures of Macedon.[2] Over a century later, Iote's descendant Michalis, who was the king of Macedon during the War of Shadows, was regarded as the second coming of Iote.[1]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 "At one time, the Macedon region was ruled by the Dolhr Empire. 100 years ago the whole continent was controlled by the dragon tribe, who sent numerous slaves to these undeveloped forests. The slaves were forced to excavate ruins and construct the country. Many people could not find food, were forced to work, and died from abuse. Amongst such tragic conditions, finally one youth stood up. His name was Iote. He and his companions escaped from the forests and fought, riding dragons, to continue the battle of liberation. After Dolhr's fall, the slaves established their own country at these rich and newly developed lands. And the heroic Iote was encouraged to become its first king. Afterwards the Kingdom of Macedon was feared as the land of dracoknights, and that was how it was born. However, this strong country not only lost its Prince Michalis, said to be the second coming of Iote." — Book II Chapter 3 introduction, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
