— Ulster, to Lana

Ulster (Japanese: スカサハ Skasaher) is a prince of Isaach, the cousin of Crown Prince Shannan and one of the twin children of the presumed late Princess Ayra. Born during Ayra's travels with Sigurd of Chalphy, at age two he was escorted into hiding by Oifey and his elder cousin Shannan, along with his twin sister Larcei and Sigurd's son Seliph. Seventeen years later, he was part of the beginning of Seliph's revolution against the tyranny of the Grannvale Empire.

In the gameplay of Genealogy of the Holy War, if Ayra was not married in the course of the first generation, Ulster's role is filled by Roddlevan.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

While scouting, Ulster observed the approach of King Danan's Grannvale forces toward Tirnanog and reported back this news, observing that it had been discovered as the hideout of Shannan's rebellion. On Shannan's orders in lieu of his absence, he strongly advised caution until such a time as Shannan and Oifey returned, but was overruled by Larcei and Seliph' insistence, and so departed with the two and Lana to take on Grannvale.

Skill set

Like all male bonus units in Awakening, Ulster has access to all base class and advanced class skills available to standard male units.

Personality and character

According to Seliph and Larcei, under most circumstances Ulster is hot-headed and eager when it comes to battle; however, this is balanced and sometimes outweighed by his sense of duty. To this end, when both Larcei and Seliph were calling for departing to respond to the impending Grannvale assault on Tirnanog, he was uncharacteristically reluctant to allow them to just leap into battle, as Shannan had tasked him with protecting Seliph in his absence.
