Xane (Japanese: チェイニー Cheine) is an Archanean Manakete and the only character in the Fire Emblem series of the Freelancer class. Initially, he claims to be from a far away land, and that all of his kin can transform as he does, though no other Manakete is shown to have his ability to transform into other people, though it may have something to do with him discarding his dragonstone.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Role

Xane is met in Chapter 16, where he is being held captive by the Dolhr army for his ability to shape shift with the intention of forcing him into service. If spoken to with Marth, he will instead join the Altean army, serving through the remainder of the War of Shadows.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

Xane was first made available to be summoned by players on October 8, 2020 in a special Halloween variation as part of the summoning event surrounding the Dragons Harvest update. The aforementioned Halloween variation of Xane is the only one currently available in Heroes, based on his Mystery of the Emblem incarnation. Xane is one of a rare number of characters to have been made available only as a special variation without a normal variation of them available (no files at all exist in the game for their regular versions).

Trivia

• Xane's Manakete heritage may have been the impetus for Shadow Dragon's PAL region localization team to localize the name of his class as "Chameleon".
• In Tear Ring Saga, there is a character named Narsus who is very similar to Xane, with both of them having the ability to transform into other units.
