We're supposed to be the thieves, you bums! We steal—we don't get stolen from!

Mysterious Merchant (Japanese: 秘密の行商人 Secret Peddler) is the first paralogue chapter of Fire Emblem Engage. As a paralogue chapter, its events are not integral to the game's main storyline and can be done at the player's leisure. In this chapter,

Plot

Main article: Mysterious Merchant/Script

A bandit leader, Mitan, chastises one of her underlings for allowing a separate thief to steal from them. Another underling comes up to her, warning that a large band of enemy forces is coming for them. Mitan orders her band to secure their treasure stash. At said stash, a young girl named Anna plans to steal the treasure, but overhears the other bandits preparing to fight. With no other options, she hides herself in one of the chests. Alear and their army arrive, having been told of the bandits by a nearby village. They then engage the bandit group to reclaim the stolen goods and return them to their rightful owners.

As the battle progresses, Anna may be found either by Alear's army or the bandit group. In this case, she rushes off to meet Alear, asking them to keep her safe, and joins into their army more-or-less without their permission. Eventually, Alear and company manage to defeat Mitan and her bandit crew. After the battle, Anna once again asks to join Alear's army, much to their chagrin. Anna assures them that she can take care of herself, and reveals that she has lost her family. Reasoning that she could use the opportunity to find her family someday, Alear accepts her into their army.
