— Ike, to Ashera
|
Ike (アイク, Aiku) is the son of Greil and Elena, brother of Mist, and a new member of his father's mercenary band, the Greil Mercenaries. He became the leader of the Greil Mercenaries after his father's passing, and led the group in protecting Crimea's errant Princess Elincia and in combatting the invasion force of Daein, winning the trust and respect of his allies in both laguz and beorc nations. Three years later, after completing a job with Bastian to save Lucia from falling victim to Ludveck's civil war, Ike and the Mercenaries were hired by Gallia's army in their war with Begnion, where he comes into conflict with Micaiah of Daein. Ike strove to live up to his father's reputation and become an expert swordsman so that he may one day avenge his father's death by defeating the Black Knight.
Ike serves as the lord character in both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, though he is not of the "Lord" class by name in the latter. He is the first and only lord character of the Fire Emblem series not of royal blood.
Role
Ike starts out as a mercenary in his father Greil's mercenary troop. After his father passed away, he travelled with Elincia, the princess of Crimea, to Gallia and eventually Begnion through Nasir's merchant boat. Along the way he is asked by Begnion's Apostle to preform tasks which involve preventing Laguz slave trading. After these tasks, the Apostle gives Elincia and Crimea aid, and it was Elincia who gave the rank of Lord to Ike. Continuing on with their way through Daein and eventually Crimea, Ike confronts the Black Knight several times and then eventually the King of Daein, Ashnard himself and a black Laguz Dragon which was controlled by Ashnard. Defeating Ashnard, Ike was able to help Elincia restore Crimea to its former glory.

Role
In Radiant Dawn, Ike returns as the leader of the Greil Mercenaries and had gained respect from most of the nations in Tellius thanks to his role in the Mad King's War three years before. He was first hired by Bastian to rescue Lucia when she was about to be hanged at the end of part 2. Afterwards, Elincia meets with him privately and explains that Daein now has a new king and that Bastian compared him to Elincia and a girl called the Silver-Haired Maiden to Ike. She also reveals that the Black Knight was seen there. Ike is shocked to hear this and returns to the Greil Mercenaries fort; he initially decides to look for the Black Knight.
Ike then abandons his search when Ranulf hires the mercenaries to aid the Laguz Alliance against Begnion in Part 3. When the plot forged by the Begnion senators is discovered, Sanaki makes Ike the supreme commander of the combined armies of Crimea, Begnion, Gallia, and Phoenicis, who had just forged a new alliance. Ike also leads the Greil Army in Part 4 and is the only one who can deliver the final blow to Ashera at the end of the game.

Personality and character
Throughout his games, Ike is shown to be a blunt, yet passionate person, earning others' respect and trust easily. This is especially evident with Reyson, who begins to trust Ike in Path of Radiance after he had hated all beorc so badly for so long. Ike is also one of the few beorc who do not hold predjudice against the laguz and shares Elincia's desire to bring peace between the two races.
Ike also, for awhile, hates all nobles and their lifestyle. This changes somewhat after he gets to know nobles, such as Elincia, Sigrun, Geoffrey, Lucia, and others. He reluctantly accepts Elincia's promoting him to a lord as well, even though he is quite uncomfortable over it.[1] Ike also seems to not think before he acts at times, as shown when he shouts at Sanaki in the Begnion Palace.[2] Mist also says that he is reckless.[3] Several times in Path of Radiance, Ike also doubts his own abilities as a leader, but his allies believe otherwise.
Another notable thing about Ike's character is his love for food. Soren, Oscar, Titania, and Lethe all hint that he eats a lot, probably as much as the laguz,[4] who are said to eat much more than the beorc, and Oscar and Soren say Ike particularly favors spicy meat dishes, mainly ribs and steaks.
Also, it's easy to tell when Ike is tired. His left eye twitches when he's feeling beat according to Soren.
