“I want to protect those I hold dear, and destroy all those who oppose me. That's the power I seek”
— Lleu to Niime in a support conversation
Lleu (レイ, pronounced lay, and also translated Ray and Rei) is a Shaman of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi and the twin brother of Lugh. He is sarcastic, rude and cynical, the opposite of his brother. Despite his rude behavior to all the people around him, people like Lugh and Sophia say that he's really a good person at heart and is just hiding it. His dream is to make dark magic more known throughout Elibe and he joins Roy because it may help with his dream.

[edit] Background
The son of Nino and Jaffar or Erk (depending on the ending of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken), Lleu is the identical twin of Lugh. He is rough around the edges, rude, and overall mordant, having been raised in an orphanage in Araphen alongside his brother and Chad. After hearing that the father was slaughtered and that Bern charred said orphanage to the ground, Lleu pretends to be standoffish to the fact, while Lugh insists that it is merely a barrier and that he is truly lighthearted by nature.

[edit] Overall
Lleu is the first shaman you receive. He has very good starting stats for his level, and good growths too. He easily max Skill and get close to maxing Speed. He will also get close to maxing Magic. Though his speed is quite good, it is severely nerfed by his extremely low constitution. With such dark tomes being so heavy, he will never be as fast as he could be. Despite his wicked appearance, he is quite frail too. His avoid is sub-par, and his defense is usually lower than Sophia's. He is considered superior to Sophia, the only other playable shaman in the game, because he is much easier to train, has better accuracy, and avoid than her, some of the most important stats in the game. Though he does have slightly less HP, Defense, Magic than her and having much lower Resistance than her, these stats aren't nearly as important to a shaman.

[edit] Etymology
Lleu's name comes from the Welsh mythlogical figure Lleu Llaw Gyffes, who was born when his mother, Arianrhod, was running for the door after giving birth to Dylan Ail Don during a magical virginity test and is raised by Arianrhod's brother Gwydion. When presented with the child, Arainrhod places a tynged, similar to a curse, on him that only she could name him, which Gwydion tricks her into doing, as well as later tricking her into arming him to counter a second tynged, and making a wife out of flowers to counter a third. He is considered to be the equivalent of the Irish Lugh.
