Quan
| ||||||||||||||||

“ | Don't forget, Sigurd. I'm always here for you. Especially in times like these. | ” | — Quan, to Sigurd |
---|
Quan (Japanese: キュアン Cuan) was the prince of Leonster, the son of King Calf, the father of Altena and Leif, a full-blooded descendant of the Crusader Njörun, and the inheritor of Gáe Bolg. In his youth, he was educated at the Belhalla military academy, where he met Sigurd of Chalphy and Eldigan of Nordion; the three quickly became close friends and pledged each other's support in times of need, and Quan eventually married Sigurd's sister Ethlyn. When he received word of the Verdane assault on Grannvale in Grann 757, he departed Leonster with Ethlyn and the young knight Finn to assist Sigurd, and travelled with him through Agustria to Silesse.
While Sigurd was in exile in Silesse, Quan departed Sigurd's group to return to Leonster and raise reinforcements to assist him, and on his way through the Aed Desert to do so, he and Ethlyn were besieged by the Thracian dragon knights and were killed, in what became known as the Aed Massacre. Though he was never formally crowned during his life and in fact was killed before his father, years after his death he was nonetheless referred to as "King Quan" as an honorary title.
Biography
Shortly after Sigurd and the remaining Chalphy knights departed to combat the Verdane invasion force and reclaim Yngvi, Quan, Ethlyn and Finn arrived to assist him. Though both Sigurd and Ethlyn apologised for what they saw as dragging him into the situation, Quan insisted that he would not have it any other way.[1] During Sigurd's sortie into Verdane to find the missing Edain, Quan asked Ayra about the Grannvale-Isaach war, concerned about the nature of it given his father's high regard for Isaach's King Mananan. He learned of the role of Ribaut's leader in sparking the role, the assassination of Mananan, and Ayra's role in being entrusted with Shannan.
Quan remained with Sigurd's army throughout the conflict with Agustria. One year into the Grannvale occupation of the country, when King Chagall started stirring trouble, Ethlyn revealed to him that his father had entrusted her with Gáe Bolg, just in case; she handed it over to him, to better facilitate ending the conflict. The two and Finn initially accompanied Sigurd to Silesse when he fled there from Lombard's army, but departed shortly thereafter to return to Leonster to raise assistance for Sigurd. During their time back in Leonster, their youngest child Leif was born.
As Sigurd's army made its way from Silesse back to Grannvale, Quan and Ethlyn were also travelling there, now accompanied by Leonster's Lance Ritter squadron, with the intent of assisting Sigurd in opposing Lombard and Reptor; the then-three-year-old Altena was with them, while Leif remained behind in Leonster under the care of Finn. However, as they crossed the Aed Desert, Thracia's King Travant and a squad of Thracian dragon knights appeared in pursuit of them, hired by Veld of the Loptr Church.[2] Taken by surprise, Quan attempted to fight back as his knights were slaughtered, but even with Gáe Bolg he was overpowered and killed, as was Ethlyn. From their corpses, Travant took Altena and Gáe Bolg, raised Altena as his own daughter, and entrusted her with Gáe Bolg in his service.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Quan is a playable character during the first generation. In the Prologue, he, along with Ethlyn and Finn, appear as player units at the start of turn 3. If either he or Ethlyn is defeated in battle, both will permanently leave. Quan, Ethlyn and Finn will leave at the start of Chapter 4.
In Chapter 5, regardless of if they survived, Quan, Ethlyn, and a squad of Leonster knights appear as partner units in the map's south-east corner once Lubeck castle has been seized. Quan only has the Gáe Bolg in his inventory; once Ethlyn is killed, Quan will loose the Gáe Bolg. He is expected to die in battle against the Thracian army; however, as the combat is unscripted, it is possible but unlikely for him to survive, in which case he disappears once Phinorais seized.

- In Chapter 3, Ethlyn can talk to Quan after Sylvale Castle has been seized, giving him Gáe Bolg.
Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Quan is a Duke Knight who joins in the Prologue but leaves after chapter 3. Quan has excellent bases and high growths, making him a strong unit – only Sigurd has superior combat in the early game. Quan also has excellent mobility since he starts as a promoted mounted class. He is the only unit with movement equal to Sigurd's before other units start promoting.
Quan's primary combat flaw is that he does not have Follow-Up and must rely on Adept for attacking twice. He is also hampered by the high weight of lances, the only weapon type he can use. His Adept activation rate is within 20-35%, making it unreliable. This problem can be fixed by giving Quan Finn's Brave Lance or Arden's Follow-Up Ring. Furthermore, even without Follow-Up, Quan can weaken enemies and have weaker units finish them off.
Quan also gets a Holy Weapon, Gáe Bolg, in his conversation with Ethlyn near the end of chapter 3. While wielding the Gáe Bolg, Quan is nearly invincible and can fight an entire army by himself. The problem is that enemies will refuse to attack him while he wields it – since the AI "knows" the attempt is futile. Still, Quan will significantly help wrap up the chapter.
Quan has two significant weaknesses. He is locked to lances instead of swords, and he leaves after chapter 3. Quan's availability is still high, but the player should be cautious and give away his items before ending chapter 3. Unlike most pairings in the game, Quan and Ethlyn's children have reversed inheritance, with Leif inheriting items from his mother Ethlyn, not Quan, with Quan's items instead being inherited by his daughter, Altena, who joins Seliph's army late in the game, so keeping valuable items on Quan is not beneficial.
Quan also struggles with accuracy in the early game because all early-game enemies use axes or bows. Quan cannot counter the bow users, and the axe users have a weapon triangle advantage against him. The weapon triangle is very potent in Genealogy since it grants +20/-20 bonuses/penalties. Luckily, Quan is bulky and capable of taking a respectable number of hits. The player can also use his combination bonus from Ethlyn; while Quan and Ethlyn stand next to each other, both gain +20% critical chance. This can allow Quan to one-shot some enemies, thanks to his high strength.
Overall, Quan is an excellent unit. He is the only unit that can keep up with Sigurd in terms of both movement and stats, making him stand out among his peers. His only real flaws are his lack of Follow-Up, being lance-locked, and somewhat low availability. None of them are significant enough to make Quan anything other than a good unit, though.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Quan is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Genealogy of the Holy War first-generation character set. He is also present as an enemy in the first and third installments of the Lost Bloodlines DLC series, and as a NPC in Lost Bloodlines 2.
