History
Edit
Eliwood was born of the noble house of Pherae, his father was Lord Elbert and his mother was Lady Eleanora. His childhood best friend was Hector the younger brother of the Marquess Ostia. These two attended school together and as they grew older their friendship grew as well. He is expected to be around the age of 16 when Lyn first meets him in chapter 7 and a year older in chapter 11 (Eliwood's story) or chapter 12 (Hector's story), due to his support conversation with Hector that states they have been sparing since the age of 12 once every two months, with a total of 30 or so battles. If so then he would be 17 in his story

Lyn's Story
Edit
By chance one day when Eliwood was scheduled to meet with Hector he stumbled upon a group of bandits who had captured a young girl named Ninian. After he set about rescuing the girl he met Lyn and decided to see if he could help her in her quest to free Caelin from Lord Lundgren. Eliwood convinced Caelin's neighbors to remain neutral in Lyn's dispute.
Eliwood's story
Edit
Eliwood is a noble on a quest to find his father, who had been kidnapped by the Dark Druid, Nergal. His objectives soon change, however, and Eliwood fights a group of assassins called the Black Fang. As the story progresses, Eliwood comes to battle with Nergal's morphs (zombie-like creatures, some of who are sentient), Nergal himself, and a renegade Fire Dragon to save the world. To defeat Nergal, he journeys deep within the earth to retrieve Durandal, a legendary sword and the eponymous Rekka no Ken or "Blazing Sword", which was used by Roland, the founder of Lycia.

Supports
Edit
While Lyn specializes in skill and speed and Hector specializes in HP, strength, and defense, Eliwood is the most well rounded of the three lords. This can be a good or a bad thing. If the RNG is kind to you he could have fantastic stats across the board... Or he could have 7 strength at level 20. Despite the riskiness of his growths, he should be trained anyway because he must participate in every chapter. His low con is another thorn in his side, because unlike Hector (who wields the heavy Armads with little drawbacks) Eliwood can't wield the Durandal without taking a massive speed penalty. Utilize his great and fast support with Hector to bolster his otherwise average stats.

Trivia
Edit
- When Eliwood is a Lord, he holds his sword in his right hand. When he promotes into a Knight Lord, however, he holds swords and lances in his left hand.
- According to a support conversation between Marcus and Lilina in Fūin no Tsurugi, Eliwood once disappeared for three days from Pherae and returned with a flower from the "snowy highlands." He presented this flower to his unnamed wife when he returned.
Etymology
Edit
Eliwood's name possibly comes from the Germanic name elements "elf" and 'wood,' meaning 'wood of elves,' which might be a reference to Avalon, the legendary island where King Arthur supposedly went to be healed after his last battle. Alternatively, the name 'Elwood' means 'elder tree forest' in Old English.
