In the following years Camus re-emerged in [[Valentia]], now known as Zeke. He served King [[Rudolf]] of [[Rigel]] until encountering [[Alm]], joining the latter's army by request of his king during the war with [[Zofia]]. At the war's conclusion he briefly left to return to Archanea to fulfill one final task for his old life, assuming the identity of the masked knight Sirius.

==Biography==

===Knight of Grust===

[[File:Cg febs e1 05.jpg|225px|thumb|Camus talks [[Nyna]] out of a suicide attempt.]]

In the intervening two years, Camus successfully protected the capital and Nyna from further damage, during which he and Nyna eventually developed a mutual affection for each other. During this period, Camus interrupted a heist of the capital led by [[Rickard]] and [[Lena]]; Nyna convinced Camus to let the group go free and keep their stolen treasure, so long as it was used to aid the people of Archanea.

===In Valentia===

Some time after his apparent death, Camus washed up on the shores of [[Valentia]], barely alive and with no memory of his past. He was found by [[Tatiana]] of [[Rigel]] and, now calling himself Zeke, was taken in by its king, [[Rudolf]], eventually becoming one of his most trusted vassals. Rudolf tasked Zeke to, should he encounter a boy with a mark on his left hand, join that boy's righteous cause.

===The masked knight Sirius===

===Role===

Camus appears in a village in [[Land of Sorrow (Shadow Dragon)|Chapter 14]], giving Marth a [[Thoron]] tome, which he said was confiscated from [[Boah]] by [[Heimler]] and that Marth should give it back.

===Role===

Zeke is a playable character and a mini-boss, initially present at Rigel Plains. The player is required to fight him if [[Tatiana]] has not been recruited; if she has, he and his subordinates will ally with the player in fighting [[Jerome]]'s army at Rigel Plains and he will formally join Alm's army in the battle's aftermath.

====Analysis====

Sirius joins in Chapter 4 as an extremely overlevelled, prepromoted Paladin with the stats to match, eclipsing all of Arran's base stats except for his very low luck. His base stats are so high that he can one-round all enemies in his join chapter while using iron weapons. His base stats alone can carry him for many chapters, but his growth rates are decent too, having high growths in strength and skill and decent growths everywhere else apart from luck. Ultimately, Sirius is extremely powerful, though his low luck can leave him susceptible to critical hits. Sirius is also required to recruit Nyna in the endgame, so using him is a good idea.

Overall, Sirius is an excellent unit, though using him too much can deprive other units of experience.

===Role===

Camus is playable in the fourth episode, ''The Beginning''. Along with Nyna, his death resets the playthrough of the episode.

===Analysis===

Sirius is a [[Paladin]] who joins extremely early for a promoted unit, and will remain useful in every chapter of ''New Mystery of the Emblem''. He has only one real flaw, that being his low luck, making him face crit chances from most enemies, especially on higher difficulties. However, even that can be useful – it can be used to manipulate enemy AI, since the AI takes critical chance and damage into consideration when prioritizing units to attack.

Considering how good Sirius is when he joins, and the fact his long-term viability is also very good, he is among the best units in ''New Mystery of the Emblem''.

===Analysis===

Zeke is the second to last unit to join on Alm's route, and can only be recruited if the player has saved [[Tatiana]] beforehand. Zeke comes with decent bases and growths, along with a great class for Alm's route, making him a solid choice for almost any team as he will be able to contribute decently well even at base. However, Zeke joins very late with only a few maps left, and by this point, he is likely outclassed by most other units in the player's army. Additionally, unless he's trained up significantly he will be outclassed by [[Mycen]] in the final few maps as both are in the same speed tier and Mycen has better strength and bulk. Still, Zeke can make for a decent filler unit for the final few maps in the game, although he won't be anything amazing in those maps either.

===Role===

Camus is available in ''Heroes'' via all three of his identities, his normal and Sirius identities based on their ''Mystery of the Emblem'' incarnations, his Zeke identity based on his ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'' incarnation. His normal Camus identity is one of the characters who first appeared in the game as an [[NPC]] at launch, and was made available to players in the ninth [[Grand Hero Battle]], which initially ran from June 2, 2017 through June 9, 2017; Camus is the most recent character to date whose Grand Hero Battle featured a character whose data was in the game at launch. His Sirius alias is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Where It Began]] update, and became available for summoning by players on September 19, 2019. His Zeke alias is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Serpent's Whispers]] update, and became available for summoning by players on June 8, 2021
