Kelles is a character referenced in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is allegedly a stone giant from the Western Isles who was "thrice the size of the tallest man".[1] Not much is known about as Kelles, as he is only mentioned in a support conversation between Dart and Karel. No creatures matching Kelles's description are seen in Elibe; the nature of the description—a recounting of a rumor[1]—does make it possible that some of it is exaggerated. According to Karel, Kelles is dead, with the implication that Karel was the one to kill him; furthermore, Dart's belief that his knowledge of Kelles was up-to-date indicates that he died recently.[1]
