“Devdan is not supposed to be anyone. Devdan was imprisoned for looking at the flower garden.”
—Devdan

Devdan (ダラハウ, Darahau), also known as the alternate persona Danved (ウハラダ, Uharada, Nadved in the Japanese versions) is a character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

[edit] Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Devdan is introduced when he is forced into work as a guard (and therefore the player's enemy) for and by Duke Oliver of Tanas. He can be recruited by speaking to him with either Soren, Rolf, Mist, Sothe or Tormod due to his love for children. He learns from one of them that Duke Oliver is keeping Laguz slaves, which he is opposed to.

Devdan is one of only two possible Halberdiers that can be recruited in Path Of Radiance. The other is Nephenee, who first appears as a Soldier, and can be promoted to Halberdier later if she is trained past level 20. Nephenee is considered statistically superior to Devdan in basically every way, although seeing as there are only two possible Halberdiers in the game, Devdan is still a usable unit.

Devdan is rarely mentioned in the storyline of Path Of Radiance. After his recruitment in Oliver's mansion, he becomes a simple soldier in Ike's army, though he can have support conversations with several people. Devdan is an amusing character who comes across as slightly naïve as he often talks in third person, and in general his statements and actions are funny to watch. In his support conversations with Largo, he introduces Danved (under his Japanese name of Nadved) as a picture he drew and voiced.

[edit] Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

The peace-loving halberdier returns under the name of his drawing Danved. In the character relations chart it shows two Devdans - one being Devdan and the other being Danved. Despite being identical in looks and mannerisms, Danved denies all suggestions that he is in fact Devdan. It is further cemented that Devdan and Danved are the same person by the fact that if Devdan caps any of his stats in Path Of Radiance and the data is transfered to Radiant Dawn, Danved will receive the bonuses for that. All other characters who were in Path of Radiance receive similar bonuses given to their Radiant Dawn counterparts.

When the Royal Knights attack Ludveck's castle, he assists them in place of Largo (who, having lost an arm in an accident, is incapable of fighting) and Calill, as Geoffrey didn't want to get civilians involved at that point. Danved claims he will "fight like ten men."

At the end of Radiant Dawn Devdan/Danved will open a comedy act which it is said could make anyone laugh.
