Naesala (ネサラ Nesara) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is the King of Kilvas, and is extremely devoted to the welfare of his nation, alongside the surviving members of the desecrated Heron clan.

BiographyEdit

Path of RadianceEdit

Naesala is first seen assisting several Daein troops in raiding a Begnion ship. It is revealed that his main goal is to attain treasure from the ensuing skirmish, as can be observed when he betrays his supposed allies and sends his men in to loot their vessel. Naesala later attends a meeting of the Laguz Kings, where his values and intentions are questioned by the other royals.

Naesala will then betray Reyson by selling him to Duke Tanas. While it is later revealed that Naesala had initially planned to rescue Reyson after gaining the trust of Duke Tanas, this plan of his is ruined when Reyson manages to escape from Duke Tanas' grasp.

In Chapter 19 of the game, Naesala will personally make an appearance on the battlefield to fight Ike's troops. After speaking to either Janaff or Ulki, he will learn that Reyson has joined Ike's army and that Leanne has been found alive. Naesala will then abandon his attempt to fight Ike's forces, thereafter personally approaching Reyson to seek his forgiveness.

Naesala appears in Chapter 28, where he disguises himself as a Daein soldier and rescues Leanne from Gritnea Tower. He then begrudgingly aids Ike's forces in laying siege on Castle Crimea after Nealuchi reminds him that Reyson and Leanne are counting on him to protect them.

Radiant DawnEdit

In this game, Naesala appears to have rebuilt his friendships with Reyson and Leanne. He is, however, forced to betray the Laguz Alliance due to a Blood Pact he is placed under by Lekain. Naesala then tricks Tibarn and the Phoenician army into attacking the Begnion Central Army instead of its supply convoy. While Tibarn and the Phoenician army are distracted, the Begnion army lays siege on the undefended Phoenicis and massacres its civilians.

Naesala subsequently returns to Begnion, where he works for the apostle Sanaki. As she far outranks Lekain, Naesala is thus able to temporarily hold off the threat of the Blood Pact being broken.

After the goddess Ashera casts her judgment upon the continent, Naesala will make haste for the Tower of Guidance in the same group as Skrimir. Prior to the beginning of Chapter 4-P, Skrimir, who is unable to control his rage against Naesala for betraying the Laguz Alliance, will attempt to rip him apart. Leanne and Nealuchi will then step in to protect him, forcing him to take action and lift them up into the air from Skrimir's wrath.

If Naesala is brought into the Tower of Guidance, he will receive the opportunity to personally destroy the Blood Pact that binds him to Begnion's beck and call.

After the events of the game conclude, Naesala will abdicate his rule of the Raven clan, choosing to work as a diplomat for Tellius instead. If he shares an A rank Support with Leanne, the pair will be wed in the epilogue, bearing two children, a Heron girl and a Raven boy.

PersonalityEdit

Throughout the events of both games, Naesala is portrayed as a cold, uncaring and narcissistic individual, evasive of ties to any of the other laguz clans, save for the Heron one. Despite this, however, he is rather devoted to Kilvas, going so far as to commit heinous acts for the sake of protecting his people and advancing the country. Ironically enough, this has caused Naesala to be commonly accepted as a strong leader by many of his peers, including the Apostle Sanaki herself.

Naesala later adopts a more self-deprecating attitude in Radiant Dawn, where he constantly puts himself down as being cowardly and unworthy of praise. This can be observed in a conversation he shares with Dheginsea when he engages him in battle, where he remarks that he is better at running away than standing his ground.

OverallEdit

In this game, like other Laguz royals Naesala is one of the most powerful playable Laguz characters. He is able to cap his Strength, Skill and Speed with relative ease, and occasionally his Defense and Resistance as well. As the mastery skill Tear operates on the workings of the Speed stat, Naesala is thus able to activate it fairly frequently, giving him the opportunity to ravage enemies on the battlefield.

QuotesEdit

Death/Retreat QuotesEdit

Path of RadianceEdit

“Oof! Poor judgment abounds--on my part as well. Perhaps I'm not suited for charitable actions such as these. Well then, I'll take my leave...”
—Naesala's retreat quote in Path of Radiance.

Radiant DawnEdit

“Waugh...! I guess I won't see the end of this. Battles without rewards just aren't my thing. It's time for me to retreat~”
—Naesala's retreat quote in Radiant Dawn

Part 4, Prologue
Naesala: Ah, this is... what some would call...a just reward...
Skrimir: Raven King! Open your beady eyes! Do you hear me, you winged jackal? You'll not die here. I have sworn to rip you limb from limb myself! Do you hear me?
Naesala: Quit your bellowing, you lice-ridden hairball. You're going to burst my delicate...eardrums...

EpilogueEdit

• Sky's Shadow (闇に舞う翼 Yami ni mau tsubasa, lit. Wings Dancing in the Darkness)
  

Saved from the blood pact, Naesala left his people and their nation. He became a diplomat, finding atonement in work.

• A Support with Leanne
  

Leanne was united with Naesala, whom she had always loved. Together they raised a heron girl and a raven boy.

TriviaEdit

• Naesala is recruited in Radiant Dawn with the Raven mastery skill Tear, despite the fact that he starts out at only Level 27.
• Naesala carries a Coin in his inventory in both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn when recruited.
• In Radiant Dawn, Tibarn questions Naesala being suddenly announced to be first in line to succeed the throne of Kilvas. Although not directly stated, the Blood Pact signed by the previous king made this possible, as it killed off a vast majority of the members within the Kilvas royal family.
