He is an excellent dancer, having had to entertain many of his father's business associates when he was younger, and a master of scams and deceiving, as proved by Colm.

There are two ways to recruit Rennac. One is to do so with L'Arachel, who summons him back into her service. The other is to do it with the main lord, but it'll cost the player 10,000.

Secret characters

These characters appear either in cutscenes or as boss characters during the main story, but can be made playable in Creature Campaign, which is available upon completion of the game. They are unlocked after reaching certain floors of the Tower of Valni and Lagdou Ruins, with one exception - Lyon.

Orson the Traitor

Class: Paladin

A Paladin of Renais, in charge of the palace guards. He's a devoted husband and a serene and quiet man, who betrayed Renais for a chance to bring his deceased wife, Monica, back to life. In fact, Seth comments how Orson was known among the knights of Renais for his love and devotion to Monica, who died of illness six months prior to the events depicted in the Sacred Stones game. After his tragedy, Orson fell into a deep depression, and Grado people took advantage of it to sway him to their side.

After Monica is "revived" by Lyon as a sort-of puppet only able to call out for Orson, he loses the rest of his sanity and practically locks himself in the chambers of King Fado in Palace Renais, living in a world of his own and either unaware or in denial about the truth. He forgets about anything else and lets bandits ravage the country, until Riev tells him that Eirika and Ephraim are coming to the castle and will kill Monica. After Orson is defeated, the "puppet" Monica *is* killed by Ephraim out of mercy, since he recognizes in her the same symptoms he saw in Emperor Vigarde.

Orson is briefly playable as part of the main story in Chapter 5x (along with Ephraim, Kyle and Forde), then appears as the boss in Chapter 16. He is playable after beating the entire game, and then beating the sixth level of the Tower of Valni.

Caellach the Tiger Eye

Class: Hero

The third strongest general in Grado's army, who hails from Jehanna. The axe-wielding, ambitious, ruthless mercenary is better known as Tiger Eye.

Aias the Great Knight also was his companion, and even joined Grado because of his loyalty to Caellach.

If the player uses Joshua to confront Caellach (in Chapter 15), they will have a small talk. Caellach will try to sway Joshua to his side, but his efforts are useless, as Joshua lost a bet to Natasha to see which side he shoud be loyal to in Chapter 5. In Eirika's route, it is revealed that he killed Queen Ismaire, and Joshua also mentions that in his conversation with Caellach. He dies at the assault on Jehanna Hall.

The fallen heretic priest would then become the strongest of Grado's generals. Only truly seeking to revive the Demon King from the Stone of Grado. He is very loyal to prince Lyon and somewhat acts as a caretaker to him, though this could just be because Lyon is the container of the Demon King's soul. He's also known as Blood Beryl, and has a sinister control over monsters and the undead. It is learned in Ephraim's route that Riev is responsible for the Phantom ship, a ship controlled by monsters, which sink almost anything it passes by.

Riev is unlocked by beating the seventh floor in the Tower of Valni.

Fado the Warrior King

Class: General

The devoted king of the monarchy of Renais, known as the Warrior King. His sole concern is for the people he leads. He is the father of Ephraim and Eirika. He is killed during the fall of Castle Renais at the beginning of the game.

Grado's fifth strongest general, Selena is a ruthlessly powerful yet beautiful mage knight who is extremely devoted to Grado and her emperor. She's also known by the name "Fluorspar", and she carries a rock of this type, presented to her by the emperor, at all times.

When Selena was a child, her family was very poor, but the Emperor gave the poor villagers food and aid. From then on, Selena vowed to serve Vigarde. Remembering her childhood, Selena cares for common villagers and in one of the earlier chapters, she can be found in a village, protecting it from bandits. She requests that the visiting character protect the village, and gives that character a Red Gem. If Eirika is the character, she'll ask why Selena wants to help to villagers and Selena replies that it is not fair that the villagers suffer because of the fighting between lords.

In Chapter 11 through Ephraim's Route, she is ordered to kill General Duessel, who has been accused of treason to Grado. Although reluctantily, she decides to comply, but before she can do so, she's stopped by Valter, who tells her that the Emperor doesn't trust her. Surprised and angry at these words, she leaves to speak to the Emperor by herself. She is almost demoted from her General status, until Prince Lyon suggests that she might retrieve a Dragonstone he needs for investigation, so she's given one last chance, and she vows to never fail her Emperor again.

In Chapter 13, she seems swayed by Ephraim and Myrrh's arguments that the Emperor became corrupted, and apologizes with General Duessel for calling him a traitor. However, she insists on following her orders to the death and attacks them, ultimately dying out of loyalty and love for her emperor.

Selena is recruited by beating the Tower of Valni three times.

Valter the Moonstone

Class: Wyvern Knight

Second strongest general in Grado's army, both in the past and the present, Valter is a sadistic wyvern knight who wields his lance with unsurpassed skill and strength. During his past career as a Grado general, Vigarde fired him for slaughtering innocents - but when the Emperor "changed", Valter was re-hired. Later (seen only in Eirika's route), he stages a duel with Glen for oppising to him and ends up killing the other general, which causes Glen's younger brother Cormag to want revenge at first, and later to switch sides.

According to a support conversation between Cormag and Duessel, Valter used to be an only somewhat more decent and still sane man (though he wasn't "a gentle lamb before" as Duessel puts it) until, having had his own lance broken in battle, he took a cursed lance owned by General Duessel, which made him into the man he is now. Cormag then points out a weapon is only as good or evil as the man who wields it. He also lusts after the beautiful and strongwilled Eirika, and one of his reasons to fight is his desire to capture her and make her his puppet bride; Riev points out, as he hears about it, that Valter is like an animal, not letting the human rules stop his darkest desires. He dies at the assault on Jehanna Hall and is is known as the "Moonstone".

Valter is unlocked by beating the seventh floor in the Lagdou Ruins.

Glen the Sunstone

Class: Wyvern Lord

The weakest general in Grado's army, known as the Sunstone. Originally of the peasant class, he and his brother, Cormag, have both risen high in the ranks of Grado's Wyvern riders. He loathes Valter for his ruthlessness, while Valter hates Glen for his morals. According to his younger brother Cormag, he had briefly met Eirika before the war began. Glen, not entirely convinced of Eirika's supposedly treacherous nature, is killed by Valter after letting Eirika pass through Carcino's mountains.

Glen is unlocked by beating the fifth floor in the Lagdou Ruins.

Hayden the Sage King

Class: Ranger

The king of Frelia, known as the venerable Sage King. He's a good friend to both Eirika and Ephraim and the father of Prince Innes and Princess Tana. His leadership and aid to Renais during the war with Grado was crucial to Eirika and Ephraim's victory.

Hayden is unlocked by beating the fifth floor in Lagdou Ruins

Lyon the Imperial Prince

Class: Necromancer

The son of Vigarde, the Emperor of Grado, and heir to the throne of Grado. He's a gentle person who greatly admires his close friends, Eirika and Ephraim; his greatest ambition was to be a strong ruler and protect his kingdom, fueled by his weak health, his onesided love for Eirika, his hidden jealousy of Ephraim and his extremely low self-esteem (before chapter 16, when a guard speaks to him rudely not knowing who he is and later apologizes, Lyon forgives him and says he's used to not have anybody's respect). His experiments with the Fire Emblem, while noble in theory (he intended to save his father's life, and resurrect him when it didn't work), were the cause to the rise of the Demon King, as they finally drove him mad.

Lyon first appears in a cutscene in the chapter "A New Journey". Eirika and Ephraim share a flashback in which they talk with Lyon about their ambitions in life, etc. Lyon has long, purple-gray hair and wears very large robes that cover most of his body. His face is rather pale, and he has purple-gray eyes. He uses the spell Naglfar in combat, as well as the spells Fenrir and Nosferatu in chapter 17.

When he's not fully dominated by the Demon King, Lyon's speech and behavior are extremey different, whether he talks to Ephraim or Eirika. When he faces Eirika he seems sad, remorseful and gentle, as well as somewhat willing to hear her side of the story; when he speaks to Ephraim, he's more aggressive and straightforward, telling that as much as he cherishes his friendship with Ephraim, he wants to win a battle against him at least once and prove himself as a great ruler.

Lyon is recruited by beating the Lagdou Ruins three times.

Non-playable characters

Carlyle

Class: Swordmaster

Right hand of the widowed Queen Ismaire, he has always been in love with her. After years of silent waiting, his love grew into obsession and this prompted him to betray his country and join Grado, in hopes to gain Ismaire's love. However, Caellach and Lyon take the Queen away from Carlyle, trying to get the Sacred Stone of Jehanna, and later Caellach kills her; Carlyle is left with his hands empty and dies lamenting how he only wanted Ismaire.

Once a mercenary serving Caellach, even from before he became a General in Grado's service. Caellach gave Aias a high ranking positon in Grado's army, thinking him to be useful. Eirika's party kill him while passing through Hamil Cayon; however, the player can let him live instead, and if this happens, Caellach will finish him off. His extreme loyalty to Caellach is unsual for members in Grado's army.

Mansel, Divine Emperor

Class: Pontifex

The beloved and wise ruler of the theocracy of Rausten, known also as the Divine Emperor. He is the uncle of L'Arachel and is similar to a pope in regards to his authority on Latona, the most prominent religion of Magvel. The "Blood Beryl" Riev seeks revenge on Mansel for ousting him from the religious order, and carries out an assault on his castle shortly after Ephraim and Eirika arrive there. He is the only Pontifex class in the game, a class very similar to a Civilian class in that it is unable to use weapons or magic and must be protected in order to complete the chapter.

Vigarde, Silent Emperor

Class: General

The stalwart "Silent Emperor" of Grado. He was a benevolent and well-liked ruler who was very good allies with the kingdom of Renais. Suddenly, Vigarde became terminally ill, and was expecting to die. In order to find a way to cure Vigarde of the unexplainable disease, Lyon started experimenting with the Fire Emblem, the sacred stone of Grado.

After many failures, Lyon succeeded in creating the Dark Stone, which he used to resurrect his now dead father. However, the Dark Stone harbored the spirit of the Demon King, and he took control of Lyon and Vigarde. As a puppet of the Demon King, Vigarde appointed Valter, Caellach, and the Demon King's priest, Riev, to generals of Grado's army. Shortly afterward, he gave the orders to invade his longtime ally, Renais.

Vigarde is the boss of chapter 14 of Ephraim's story, in which Ephraim's party kills him. When he dies, his body becomes nothing more than a pile of ashes; Ephraim sees this and realizes that he was already dead. Few after this, they find Lyon's former assistant Knoll who tells the story of Lyon and the dark stone.

Gheb

Class: Giant Enemy? Warrior

Gheb is a mercenary of Grado that was placed at Fort Rigwald. He is very cruel to the troops that disobey him, and is conceited to no end. Before Ephraim arrives to her rescue he also captures Tana. He is a great general and a near-peerless tactician. He also has a desire for young girls as he threatens both Tana and Amelia in a sexual way. He purposely throws the fight against Ephraim to further his diabolical schemes, or so do his loyal subjects say. What really happened, or so claim Gheb's opposition, is that Ephraim managed to attack Gheb's weakpoint (his sexy man legs) for MASSIVE DAMAGE. This cost Gheb 599 Health Points, yet he only had 598 Health Points. Gheb, like his top-notch supporters Batta the Beast and Glass the Peerless, died. But many of his devoted followers support and carry on his name to this day, claiming that Gheb will resurrect, like the true God he is, on the third day.

Klimt

Klimt is the head of the Council of Elders, which rules the mercantile nation of Carcino. He did not want to get Carcino involved in the war with Grado, and, as the most powerful and influential member of the Council, managed to keep Carcino out of the fray. However, the councilman Pablo used his wealth to corrupt his fellow councilmen into agreeing with him, and soon they would overrule Klimt's decision and aid Grado's forces with Carcino's army. When Klimt refused and tried to stop them, Pablo attempted to carry out a hit on him. Luckily, Eirika and her forces would intervene, and the assassination attempt failed; Klimt then explained what was going on in Carcino.

Pablo

Class: Sage

Pablo is a high-ranked member of the Council of Elders, which rules the mercantile nation of Carcino. Feeling Grado had an upper hand in the war, he proposed they help Grado in its conquest. Klimt, however, did not approve so the idea was dropped; Pablo used his vast money to gain the favor of the Grado troops and send them against Prince Innes, but Erika and her party stop him and Pablo flees. He also hires an assassin to kill off Klimit, this plan fails to and Carcino allies itself with Frelia and Renais. He is not seen again until Chapter 13 in Hamil Canyon where he is killed.

Fomortiis the Demon King

Class: Demon King

Fomortiis, a giant horned demon, is the final boss of the game.

In the year 3, the founders of Magvel trapped the Demon King's soul using the Sacred Stones. The stone of Grado (also known as the Fire Emblem) holds the soul of Fomortiis. Eight-hundred years later in year 803, Vigarde, the Emperor of Grado, dies and his son Lyon then tries to bring him back to life using the power of the Sacred Stones. Lyon succeeds, but in the process gets possessed by Formortiis.

Free of his prison, Fomortiis begins his reign of terror once more and invades Renais seeking to destroy its Sacred Stone using Vigarde and Lyon as his puppets. When he fails to locate the stone and the means to destroy it, he moves on to Frelia, where his generals Selena Fluorspar and Caellach Tiger-Eye easily overpower the Frelians and destroy their Sacred Stone.

Fomortiis sends Caellach to Jehanna, where he kills Queen Ismaire and destroys the stone. Afterwards, both generals Caellach and Valter are slain by twins Eirika and Ephraim in Jehanna's desert. Angered, Formortiis (still possessing Lyon) goes to stop the twins himself and destroy the stone they possess; he fails and retreats.

Soon after the twins' next battle according to the tale the player chooses, Fomortiis either tricks Eirika or takes the stone by force from Ephraim and thus destroys the stone of Renais. The twins venture to Rausten while Formortiis travels to his temple in Darkling Woods to revive his body. Formortiis then sends his last remaining general, Riev, to destroy the stone of Rausten and kill the Divine Emperor Mansel. Riev fails and retreats into Darkling Woods, where he is eventually slain and the twins gain entrance into the Black Temple of the Demon King.

Lyon is slain in the Black Temple and Fomortiis succeeds in resurrecting his body, but his soul is trapped within the Sacred Stone of Rausten. Eirika and Ephraim destroy Formortiis's body thus ensuring that he can never again be resurrected.
