Arlen (Japanese: エルレーン Ellerean) is a mage under the tutelage of Wendell that first appears in Book 2 Mystery of the Emblem and appears again in its DS remake.
Arlen was Wendell's first disciple; Wendell eventually had another disciple: Merric. Arlen and Merric soon became somewhat friendly rivals, but it all changed after Wendell chose to give the Excalibur tome to Merric due to Arlen's lack of compassion. Arlen despised Merric for this, and it got to a point where the two would fight to the death during the raid of Marth's army on the School of Khadein, in the midst of the War of Heroes. Wendell shows Arlen the error of his ways and joins Marth for the remainder of the war.

Book 2
Role
Along with Merric, Arlen was entrusted with the safekeeping of Khadein by Wendell after the latter had to leave to fulfill a request given to him by Gotoh—to find the Starsphere Shards. After Wendell's departure, Arlen chose to ally himself and his followers with the Kingdom of Archanea. When Marth's army was breaking into the School of Khadein, Arlen's disdain for Merric exploded. Arlen wanted Merric dead, and Merric wasn't going to go down without a fight. Wendell eventually reaches Arlen and talks to him, revealing that the reason Merric inherited Excalibur was Arlen's lack of compassion. Arlen is then told by Wendell that his actions were the same as Gharnef's. Arlen soon realizes this for himself and apologizes, with forgiveness granted from Wendell. He remains a part of Marth's army for the remainder of the War of Heroes, alongside his rival.

- In Mystery of the Emblem, promotion gains for HP and weapon level consist of giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base value. If the character's value for one of those two stats is higher than their promoted class's base value, they will not receive any bonus in that stat.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Arlen's base stats are serviceable; they are not great, and he can get killed in one round, but having access to 1-2 range and magical attacks is always useful. When he joins the team, his base level is high enough to promote instantly, so he has instant access to good classes like Bishop and Sage if so desired. He cannot use the Excalibur right away, but if you give him an Arms Scroll, he can. You can also promote him to Sage, which adds 30 tome experience, and then rank him up to B in no time.
In comparison to Merric, Arlen is a little less available (because Merric joins you for some time in the Prologue, but Arlen does not), and he cannot use Excalibur at base. However, he joins ready to promote and his stats are good enough for him to be useful. Also, he has slight advantages over Merric in nearly every statistic at bsae, and he can reach Excalibur quite quickly if you promote him to Sage or use an Arms Scroll on him. As such, while Merric may be slightly better at base thanks to Excalibur utility, Arlen can reach the same level of competence with slight favoritism. Both Arlen and Merric are definitely useful units overall.
