Ephraim: Sacred Twin Lord

Prince of Renais who protects his kingdom in place of his deceased father, King Fado. He's taken to using one of the Sacred Twins relics from Grado—the black axe Garm. Ephraim is engaged in guerrilla war against Grado in an attempt to divert Grado troops from their invasion into Renais, concurrently with his father's death. During this time, he encountered the manakete Myrrh and rescued her from Grado forces. Blaming himself for his inability to aid his father in his time of need, he wonders where his younger sister went and traveled to Renvall with his companions Forde, Kyle and Orson. Upon disposing the commander inside, Orson reveals his true colors, forcing Ephraim, Forde and Kyle to flee. Tirado later spread false news about Ephraim's capture to lure Eirika into Renvall. Upon falling into Tirado's trap, Ephraim heard of the news and rushed to his sister's aid, joining forces with her and defeating Tirado. Upon returning to Frelia, Ephraim decided to go to Grado to get answers. After Fomortiis is destroyed, Ephraim returns to Renais and rebuilds the nation with Eirika. Ephraim is very confident and courageous, revered by his comrades as a brave leader, as well as someone who is renowned for his battle prowess, gift for strategy, and unwavering determination. He has a straight-to-the-point attitude, and dislikes wasting time on anything that strays from whatever goal is at hand. However, Ephraim seems to struggle with communication, as well as consideration of others, due to the fact that he was raised to be a distant prince, to the point of stating that he couldn't afford to feel real affection toward anyone because of this. Due to that, he comes off as shy and even a bit aloof. One of Ephraim's dreams included becoming a mercenary in order to travel the world. But he reluctantly puts the responsibility with his kingdom first, despite always longing for battle, which means he was never able to achieve this dream, even after the end of the story. Though, Ephraim's biggest flaw is his overconfidence. Though he picks and chooses battles he is sure to win, he sometimes loses sight of the bigger picture, focusing on victory at all costs. Although Ephraim is not very knowledgeable in history, he is viewed as a suited king to the throne by Duessel and others. He is passionate about his goals, and deep down cares about others, such as how he very actively wants to protect his twin sister.
