Legion (Roro in the Japanese version) is a boss character in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~. He is a masked Berserker working for Eremiya. He has the strange ability to clone himself, he refers to these copies as his brothers. It turned out Legion was an orphan raised by Eremiya and after his death, Eremiya deposed of his surviving "brothers" despite Katarina's protests, as she felt they were useless without Legion.
One explanation for the numerous clones is that they're each individual orphan boys raised by Eremiya but trained to work together like a hivemind, and that "Legion" is simply the leader of them.
Legion has a distinctive speech pattern, and sometimes refers to himself as "we" instead of "I".

Etymology
Legion's English name is a Biblical reference to the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac (Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39) where Jesus asks demon's name, and the demon answers, "My name is Legion, for we are many." This itself is a reference to a Roman legion (legio), which consisted of several thousand soldiers.
Trivia
- It is never clarified how much sentience his clones have, as they sometimes have dialogue, and Katarina considered it immoral for Eremiya to kill Legion's copies.
- Legion's clones are infinite, gameplay-wise. No matter how many turns are spent killing the clones, there will still be leftovers after killing the main Legion.
- Legion is the only default playable Berserker in Awakening. Additionally, Legion uses the Buff Berserker model when an enemy, but switches to the Skinnier appearance when recruited.
- The Berserkers that accompany Legion in his SpotPass battle all share identical skills and stats as Legion referencing the clones in the original game.
