Arion was betrothed to [[Linoan]] of [[ | Arion was betrothed to [[Linoan]] of [[Tarrah]] some time before Grann 776; he ordered the Thracian knight [[Deen (Thracia 776)|Deen]] to protect Linoan from the threat of assassination by [[Grannvale]] forces, and to fulfill this role successfully Deen left the Thracian army.<ref>{{Cite|'''Eda:''' Prince Arion knew about the danger Tarrah was in, so he secretly ordered my brother to rescue you.

In Grann 777, during [[Seliph]]'s battles with [[Bloom]] in the [[Munster District]], Arion received a request for reinforcements from Bloom and reported it to Travant, who ignored it with the intent of weakening both sides for an easier Thracian victory later. When Seliph's army moved on to attack Thracia itself, Altena learned of her true heritage as [[Quan]]'s daughter and [[Leif]]'s sister and turned on Travant; Arion sided with Travant and attacked her, subduing her and pretending to have killed her. Travant then decided to fight Seliph's army himself, entrusting Arion with the [[Gungnir]] and rule of Thracia. When Altena recovered, Arion told her to go to Leif and Seliph, but that he remained the enemy. At the climax of the battle, Arion was defeated by Seliph's army, but was saved by [[Julius]], who warped him away to [[Grannvale]]. | In Grann 777, during [[Seliph]]'s battles with [[Bloom]] in the [[Munster District]], Arion received a request for reinforcements from Bloom and reported it to Travant, who ignored it with the intent of weakening both sides for an easier Thracian victory later.

“ | Altena... this is our fate. And the sooner we resign ourselves to it the better. | ” | — Arion, to Altena |
---|
Arion (Japanese: アリオーン Areone) is the Prince of Thracia, the only biological child of King Travant and a full-blooded heir to the Crusader Dáinn and the holy lance Gungnir. He succeeded his father as Thracia's king during the war between Thracia and Seliph's liberation army, placing himself in opposition to his adoptive sister Altena.
Biography
Arion was betrothed to Linoan of Tarrah some time before Grann 776; he ordered the Thracian knight Deen to protect Linoan from the threat of assassination by Grannvale forces, and to fulfill this role successfully Deen left the Thracian army.[1] At the climax of the Friege assault on Tarrah in 776, he convinced Travant to allow him to spearhead a Thracian assault on Tarrah, then negotiated a controlled surrender with Linoan which would place Tarrah under his control rather than that of Grannvale, ensuring the safety of its residents from the atrocities of Grannvale and the Loptr Church.[2]
In Grann 777, during Seliph's battles with Bloom in the Munster District, Arion received a request for reinforcements from Bloom and reported it to Travant, who ignored it with the intent of weakening both sides for an easier Thracian victory later. When Seliph's army moved on to attack Thracia itself, Altena learned of her true heritage as Quan's daughter and Leif's sister and turned on Travant; Arion sided with Travant and attacked her, subduing her and pretending to have killed her. Travant then decided to fight Seliph's army himself, entrusting Arion with the Gungnir and rule of Thracia. When Altena recovered, Arion told her to go to Leif and Seliph, but that he remained the enemy. At the climax of the battle, Arion was defeated by Seliph's army, but was saved by Julius, who warped him away to Grannvale.
Later, in the final battle between Seliph and Julius in Grannvale itself, Arion was hired by Julius as a mercenary and deployed late in the battle to attack Chalphy Castle while Seliph's forces were distracted in the north. He was confronted again by Altena, who convinced him at last to cease his opposition - not for Seliph, he claimed, but for Altena.[3]
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Arion is the final boss of Chapter 9, emerging after Grutia Castle is seized. He later reappears as a minor boss in the Endgame, appearing as a reinforcement to attack Chalphy Castle, the player's home castle; however, this time Altena can talk to him, which turns him and any Thracian survivors into partner units.

Personality
Even though he sometimes disagreed with his methods, Arion held Travant in the highest regard and was determined throughout Travant's life to prove himself a useful servant and worthy heir.[4] Although he greatly respected Altena and attempted to justify her actions to Travant, he nonetheless regularly sided with Travant when he and Altena clashed on matters, often doing both in the same breath.[5] He was aware of Altena's true heritage as Quan and Ethlyn's daughter the entire time, and Travant regularly freely spoke about it to him. Following Travant's death, for a time he was determined to continue to oppose Seliph's army, having interpreted that as Travant's dying wish, but realized the nature of the path and told Altena to leave Thracia and ally with Leif and Seliph, resolved that the two would have to fight each other someday.[6] Altena interpreted his insistence on continuing to fight Seliph's army as egocentricism, and that he refused to believe that he was in the wrong in continuing to serve Grannvale in its opposition to Seliph.[7]

- ↑ "Eda: Prince Arion knew about the danger Tarrah was in, so he secretly ordered my brother to rescue you. Deen was so pleased at the trust the prince was putting in him that he abandoned the army to fulfill the prince's commands.
Linoan: Lord Arion...went through that much...?
Eda: He couldn't leave the country, but then again, he couldn't let you, his fiancee, die..." — Eda and Linoan, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "Arion: Tell your people to disarm and surrender. It'll be a disaster if you fight now.
Linoan: Why...? This is not like you at all. What happened?
Arion: My father is preparing a legion to attack Tarrah. [...] That's not all. Armed Loptrian priests are approaching as well. If the 'Black Rose' Bergrosen comes, the citizens will be massacred, every single one of them.
Linoan: The Bergrosen...! I was fearing this the most...
Arion: Linoan, leave it to me. Thracia will capture Tarrah. We will the put the people under our protection. We will put an end to the child hunting, and I'll promise to protect you as well." — Arion and Linoan, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "Altena... that's enough. I... I see your point now. My final action as a mercenary shall be for Seli-... No, for you, Altena. I fight for you." — Arion, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑ "Travant: I tried to get Arion to come along as well, but he said he couldn't leave the castle unattended. Oh well...
Altena: He's trying hard to be of help to you, father.
Travant: Well, when I was his age, I was already taking charge as king. I suppose I should commend his efforts." — Travant and Altena, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 - ↑ "That's enough! Your opinion is not wanted here, Altena. Now listen and obey father's wishes! She's still very young, father. I imagine the sight of actual combat overwhelmed her a bit. Please, father... just this once. Go easy on her." — Arion, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
- ↑ "Altena: Arion, we can call for a truce! With King Travant gone, there's nothing stopping us! Besides, I'm not about to fight you!
Arion: If it weren't for father's parting words, I would... Just go, Altena... now! Next time we meet shall be on the battlefield. But be ready... I won't go easy on you!" — Altena and Arion, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - ↑ "Altena: You're such a coward! You're so caught up in your damn ego that you've completely lost track of what's right!
Arion: So what are you suggesting I do!?
Altena: Take a look at Prince Seliph! Why do you think he's out here putting his life on the line? Think about it for a minute." — Altena and Arion, Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
