Xane (Japanese: チェイニー Cheine) is an Archanean Manakete and the only character in the Fire Emblem series of the Freelancer class. Initially, he claims to be from a far away land, and that all of his kin can transform as he does, though no other Manakete is shown to have his ability to transform into other people, though it may have something to do with him discarding his dragonstone.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
Role
Xane is met in Chapter 16, where he is being held captive by the Dolhr army for his ability to shape shift with the intention of forcing him into service. If spoken to with Marth, he will instead join the Altean army, serving through the remainder of the War of Shadows.[2]

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Xane's class—Freelancer—allows him to copy the class and stats of another unit, though not their inventory. Xane is more or less as good as whatever unit you choose to imitate. Ultimately, you can't go wrong with a second version of one of your best units, which makes Xane an excellent unit who is always useful. There is, however, a necessary caveat to his usefulness in faster clears: because transforming takes a turn, Xane will be unable to contribute to much on turn 1; as such, Xane may be incredibly useful for two-turn clears, but will be inferior to a unit slightly less strong than your best or an additional Curate or Bishop capable of using Warp for one-turns.

Xane appears in Chapter 16 as an enemy unit, though he is not aggressive. He was captured by Dolhr and forced to work in their service, though he states he had no intention to waste his talents on such a country.[3] After he is freed from his cell and Marth speaks to him, Xane accompanies Marth for the rest of the war.

Xane joins in Chapter 16 of Shadow Dragon as a level 1 Freelancer. As a Freelancer, Xane can transform into any of the player's units; transforming copies all the unit's stats except for their current HP—Xane's max HP increases, but he stays at his earlier HP—but uses a turn. Xane's level and stats are functionally irrelevant, as he will spend entire battles using another unit's stats.
Xane requires a turn to transform, and because of that, he cannot use his copied stats until turn 2 at earliest; as such, Xane cannot contribute to clearing a map in one turn. However, Xane can contribute on slower playthroughs; a copy of the strongest unit will generally be more useful than the eighth- or ninth-strongest unit.

Role
Xane was first made available to be summoned by players on October 8, 2020 in a special Halloween variation as part of the summoning event surrounding the Dragons Harvest update. The aforementioned Halloween variation of Xane is the only one currently available in Heroes, based on his Mystery of the Emblem incarnation. Xane is one of a rare number of characters to have been made available only as a special variation without a normal variation of them available (no files at all exist in the game for their regular versions).

Trivia
- Xane's Manakete heritage may have been the impetus for Shadow Dragon's PAL region localization team to localize the name of his class as "Chameleon".
- In Tear Ring Saga, there is a character named Narsus who is very similar to Xane, with both of them having the ability to transform into other units.
