Baudimon 201 Baudimon is the second son of King Thorgrim of Andaron. Not well-suited for political affairs, Baudimon's always been more at home amongst Andaron's common folk and seedy characters than in noble court. One can regularly find him in a tavern or back alley with a drink in one hand and some dice in another, enjoying some of life's finer vices. While the upper class hold him in contempt for his behavior, the citizenry still regard him as a hero for his deeds in his father's rebellion. He's brash, but cares deeply for his allies. Andaron Saga 55 Days Left 3 Jakka Born a commoner in a port town, Jakka grew up dirt poor. His father was a city guard who later joined the army, but when the Styxian plague ravaged Andaron, Jakka's father succumbed to it. To support his sick mother and younger sister, Jakka became a mercenary. During the rebellion, Jakka met Baudimon after their army was routed. The two of them grew close protecting each other behind enemy lines. Afterwards, they stayed fast friends. Jakka acts as Baudimon's voice of reason, and tries his best to keep him out of trouble. He's a suspicious man, his mind and humor as sharp as his spear. Jakka tends to use dark humor to cope with difficult situations, rather than face them honestly and head-on. Andaron Saga 50 Days Left [HE Samuel Samuel is the First Lord of House Rose, Andaron's most popular branch of nobility, renowned for their chivalry. He's a legendary Knight with countless accolades under his belt. He rode into war with Baudimon's father twice, and also sided with him during the rebellion. Even in old age, Samuel can outclass his younger comrades. When he charges into battle with his House's Regalia, the legendary Rosethorn, he strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies. Samuel has strong opinions. If he disapproves of someone's actions, he will not mince words. He is known to scold his comrades when they step out of line, but will also take a spear to protect them. Above all else, Samuel will do anything to protect the legacy of his House. Andaron Saga 45 Days Left

Heya, this is my first attempt at a KYM page, and I understand that this may be too niche to be considered valid. But I know there are many GBA-era Fire Emblem fans out there, and if this finds even one or two of those people out there, I feel like I did my job to spread the word of a game that classic fans would love to hear.
