== Charactah Account ==
Yen'fay is a former king of the small nation of Chon'sin, and Say'ri's elder brother. Having turned his back against his nation and sister, he became one of Walhart's top generals. He has an old-fashioned and serious personality and enjoys meditating.
Yen'fay has an old fashioned and serious personality and enjoys meditation. He has deep loyalty to his country as he was willing to join forces with the Valm empire to stop further bloodshed of innocent lives. However, much of his loyalty was actually due to his love and care for his younger sister, Say'ri. Because of a deal struck with Excellus, Yen'fay begrudgingly obeyed the man who murdered his parents just to keep her safe. Yen'fay stubbornly refused to let Say'ri in on his plan to further ensure her safety, even refusing forgiveness from her when fought in battle. He took this plan to the grave, but was happy to see that his sister was amongst strong and kind people who would protect her and make her happy in his place.
Yen'fay from the alternate timeline suffers from survivor guilt. He constantly degrades himself for allowing his dear sister to die and stood by and defended her grave as a form of atonement before being thrown into the present timeline. Although he is happy to see that his sister is alive in the current timeline, he cannot bring himself to associate himself with her due to his sorrow. Nevertheless, this Yen'fay still cares deeply for his sister, however much of his motivation is to atone for his weakness and make sure that Say'ri lives a happier life this time.

== Trivia ==
* Unlike the other SpotPass characters, Yen'fay has a different voiced death quote as a playable character. The other SpotPass characters all retain the same quote they used as a boss. This makes him the only SpotPass character in the game that has more than one. This is likely to reflect the fact that the Yen'fay recruited from SpotPass is different from the Yen'fay that died.
* Yen'fay is the only SpotPass character in the main storyline to have traveled through from the Outrealm. While most of them have survived, the original Yen'fay has died.
* Yen'fay shares his Japanese voice actor, Kenji Hamada, with fellow Awakening character Gregor and Fates characters Azama and Nichol.
* Yen'fay shares his English voice actor, Kirk Thornton, with Nomah (from Echoes: Shadows of Valentia), Iago (from Fates) in Warriors, Dorcas (from The Blazing Blade) and Surtr in Heroes.
* Yen'fay's voice clips were also used for Mustafa and Ignatius in both English and Japanese languages.
* Yen'fay's battle theme, Misericorde, is named after a medieval weapon often used to deliver a killing blow which is possibly a reference to the high critical rates that Swordmasters are known for.
* Yen'fay is one of two people that have survived more than one blow from Walhart, the other being Basilio.
* Yen'fay was voted as the least popular male character in the Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
* Along with Cordelia and Vaike, Yen'fay has a unique Confession Backdrop when proposing to Robin, being in a forest clearing under the Night Sky rather than in the Barracks.
* Yen'fay is the sixth and final SpotPass character to become playable in Heroes, preceded by Walhart, Aversa, Emmeryn, Gangrel and Priam.
