“Hey there, princey. Thanks for settin' me free! The name's Xane. I hail from a land few have heard of an even fewer have seen. I won't trouble you with the details. Me and my folk have the power to transform into other people. We can shape-shift, you see. When Doluna caught on, they started threatenin' me. Told me to join their army or "face my doom." Hah! Well, I wasn't about to waste my considerable talent on those evil coots! You, on the other hand...You've got character. Say, why don't we team up? I do owe you for savin' my hide. And I think you'll find my considerable talents are...quite considerable.”
—Xane in Shadow Dragon.
Xane (チェイニー, Cheine in the Japanese version and referred to as Chainey in the fan translations) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, and their remakes. He is one of the few Divine Dragon survivors of the war against the Earth Dragons, he lost his ability to morph into Dragon form but instead gained the ability to take form of another person.
He works under Gotoh, despite their differing views of humanity, and in Mystery of the Emblem, he acts as a guide for Marth in his quest to reach Gotoh and follow his ancestor Anri. In the end, though, he once again vanishes.

Personality
Edit
Xane is a carefree and somewhat effeminate person who likes to play jokes (at one point he annoys Tiki by immitating her and repeating everything she says). He has a dislike towards humans, to the extent that he sympathized with the Manaketes who formed the Doluna Empire and was uncaring of who won the battle between Medeus and Anri.
Nevertheless, he does possess some senses of honor and duty, as shown to his loyalty to Marth and Gotoh. He has a strange fondness for Marth, constantly referring to him affectionately as "Princey". He can be supportive to others, as shown in some of his talks with Tiki.

OverallEdit
The only stats that matter for Xane are defense, HP, speed, luck, and resistance due to the fact that Xane cannot attack while untransformed (with the exception of the Super Famicom version of Monshou no Nazo, which allows him to use swords). When Xane transforms, he mimics the stats of the selected character, meaning that the only stats that matter for Xane are the stats that will help keep him alive or reduce the damage he takes while he is untransformed (in the Super Famicom version of Monshou no Nazo, Xane does not copy the Max HP of a character, unlike other versions of the game). It should be noted that Xane should be healed after transforming, as his HP does not instantly regenerate after transforming. Also, Xane can use weapons which are restricted to certain characters, such as the Rapier, Hammerne Staff, Aum Staff, and Wing Spear, except for the Falchion. He also cannot copy Manaketes. Xane also does not gain EXP when transformed in the Super Famicom version, and will have to level up while untransformed.
QuoteEdit
“So long, Princey... It's been.. fun...”
—Death Quote, Shadow Dragon
“Hey! Wait, I'm not an enemy. Don't fight me!”
—As an Enemy in Mystery of the Emblem
EtymologyEdit
Chainey is possibly derived from Lon Chaney Sr., a famous silent actor known as the "The Man of a Thousand Faces".
TriviaEdit
- Xane may have originally been intended to reappear in Emblem Saga. The character Narcus from Tearring Saga is extremely similar to Xane, including the ability to transform into other units.
“A certain shape-shifting youth will have an important role, in the guise of a mysterious bard and sage. Since this game occurs in the same time period as the first game, Dark Dragon and Sword of Light, more characters may return if the need arises.”
—Shouzou Kaga answering a question about returning characters in an interview conducted by Famitsu
