Aias
Game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones First Seen Chapter 13: Hamill Canyon (Eirika's route) Starting Class Great Knight

“Yes. It was a complete failure. The Rausten knights arrived far more quickly then I'd anticipated. But it doesn’t matter, does it? Whether I won or lost? You were planning on abandoning me from the start, weren't you?”
— Aias to Caellach if he survives the chapter

Aias is a Great Knight and aide to General Caellach in the army of Grado who appears in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He was formerly a part of Caellach and Joshua's old mercenary group from Jehanna and claims to both be a great tactician and that he was never even scratched in battle. Even though he says he has no need for rank or title, Caellach convinced him to join up with Grado as his lieutenant. He is charged by Caellach with killing Eirika, but if the player passes the turn limit he will flee to Jehanna Hall where Caellach will kill him after claiming he is one of the things keeping him from his future life as king. He drops a Knight Crest when defeated.

Like a good tactician Aias is well prepared and has an assortment of powerful weapons at his disposal, he essentially has control of most of the weapon triangle - his choice of axe being a swordslayer meaning he has Lance 'weaknesses' - and can easily destroy your sword users with his swordslayer and has very high stats when compared to earlier bosses. He can still be beaten easily by a strong axe-wielder either with a Hammer or a Halberd due to his Great Knight class, and since he is initially equipped with a Short Spear.
