“Larcei, you're crazy! Prince Shanan is still at Yied Shrine, and Oifey hasn't made it back either. It's just us! How do you expect us to take them on!?”
—Ulster in Genealogy of the Holy War.
Ulster (スカサハ SukasahaSkasaher in the Japanese version) is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He is a sword fighter hailing from Isaach, the son of Ayra and the brother of Larcei. After Seliph's army defeats the Grannvale Empire, Ulster will return to Isaach with his lover (provided he does not inherit his father's homeland). If his cousin Shanan is dead, he will assume the Isaachian throne. His substitute character is Roddlevan.
Like most of the other characters from the second generation, Ulster has very generic lines as a result of sharing conversations with his counterpart. However, from his dialogue in Chapter 6, it can be gathered that he is a kind-hearted young man, as well as adopting a well-tempered and cautious nature.
Skasaher is a corruption of Scáthach, a figure in the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Scáthach was known for training the hero Cú Chulainn, and her name means "shadowy".
Ulster is one of the primary provinces of Ireland, specifically the area currently known as Northern Ireland. It also lends its name to the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, in which Scáthach features.
