Mananan is a character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He was the brave King of Isaach before the events of the game, and is the father of Mariccle and Ayra.

After the Ribaut clan attacked the free city of Dahna in the Aed Desert, Mananan set off in an attempt to resolve the situation. He led an army to defeat Ribaut and slayed the Ribaut ruler (a fellow descendant of Od, also the father of Galzus), offering said region to Grannvale in a bid to propose a truce. However, Mananan was captured by Grannvale's soldiers and executed by Reptor, resulting in the continuation of the Isaachian-Grannvaleian war. Manfroy was the mastermind behind Mananan's death, scheming with Lombard to attain more power for themselves.

According to Quan's conversation with Ayra in Chapter 1, Quan's father King Calf held Mananan in high regard and greatly respected him.

The Fire Emblem Treasure's family tree reveals that Mananan had an unnamed daughter, who was also the wife of the Ribaut ruler and the mother of Galzus). It also may have had Mariccle and Ayra with two different anonymous women. This is also suggested by the fact that his grandson Shannan lacks the Nihil skill, which Ayra and her children Larcei and Scáthach possess.

Etymology[]

Mananan's name derives from the Irish mythological character Manannan mac Lir, the god of the sea and weather.
