Lyon

From Gensopedia

Lyon (リオン), once known as Mismar (ミスマル), is a major character in Suikoden V. The bodyguard of Prince Freyjadour Falenas, Lyon was adopted and raised by the Falenan Royal Family following the disbanding of Nether Gate. She is currently a member of the Queen's Knights having previously trained as an apprentice. She was also bearer of the Twilight Rune for a time.

Biography

A former member of Nether Gate, Lyon had almost completed her training to become a full-fledged assassin when Ferid Egan found the young girl and took her under his wing, eight years after the assumed dissolution of the group. Ferid was also the one who named her 'Lyon'; until that point she was known as "Mismar". As Lyon showed amazing skills with a blade, Ferid allowed her to become a Queen's Knight's apprentice and Prince Freyjadour Falenas' bodyguard, honours Lyon believed she never deserved^[1]. Lyon swore to protect Prince Freyjadour at all costs, and in doing so, followed him everywhere.

During the Falenan Civil War, she encountered Dolph, or "Michafute", a member of Nether Gate she formerly knew. Due to Lyon's forsaking of Nether Gate and its ways, Dolph considered her a nemesis. As such Dolph would use any excuse to attempt to kill Lyon, as was demonstrated when he stabbed her during the New Queen's Campaign. Mortally wounded by Dolph, Lyon laid dying, but thanks to the Dawn Rune her condition became stable once again, but was far from fully healed.

Desperate to save Lyon, the Prince went to the Sindar Ruins in the Deep Twilight Forest in order to find a way to use the Dawn Rune's mysterious power to fully heal Lyon. Having been successful, the Prince returned and used the Dawn Rune on Lyon, allowing her to return to full health. Lyon came into possession of the Twilight Rune shortly before the death of Sialeeds Falenas, during the reclamation of Sol-Falena in 450. Lyon used the power of the Rune in conjuncture with the Prince's Dawn Rune and together their combined power was able to open the way to the Ashtwal Mountains, in order to pursue Marscal Godwin who had stolen the Sun Rune.

There, Lyon duelled Dolph, who was blocking the way to Marscal, and emerged victorious. However, it took the power of her rune to finally destroy him, allowing the group to progress.

After the war's end, Lyon became a Queen's Knight serving under the Prince, who had become the Commander of the Queen's Knights.
