Ephraim

Ephraim, is one of the two main protagonists of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He is the crown prince of Renais and the elder twin brother of co protagonist Eirika. 
He is a headstrong and determined young man who is skilled with the lance. He was taught by Duessel and his skill is unsurpassed by any other in his country. He wears the Solar Brace, which is one of a pair that grants access to Renais' Sacred Stone. Ephraim is also good friends with Prince Lyon of Grado and has a semi-friendly rivalry with Prince Innes of Frelia. Unfortunately, Lyon's jealousy of Ephraim led him to become evil under the influence of the Demon King and cause the fall of Renais. 
==Biography==
Ephraim engages in a war against Grado in an attempt to divert Grado troops into Renais from their invasion, concurrently with his father's death. He encounters Myrrh during this time and rescues her from Grado forces. He wonders where his sister Eirika went and traveled to Renvall with his companions Kyle, Forde and Orson. Upon disposing the commander inside, Orson eventually reveals his true colors and forces Ephraim, Kyle and Forde to flee. Tirado later spreads false news about Ephraim's capture to lure Eirika into Renvall, and upon falling into this trap, Ephraim heard of the news and rushes to his sister's aid, joining forces with her, and together they defeat Tirado. Upon returning to Frelia, Ephraim decides to go to Grado in order to get answers.
After gaining the services of Duessel, Ephraim has no choice but to fight and kill Selena. They reach Grado and the king Vigarde is a mindless zombie. He learns the truth from Knoll and they race to extricate Eirika who is surrounded by Caellach and Valter. Returning home to Renais, they find it in a miserable state with Orson being proclaimed king and forever loyal to Grado. Not wanting the country to worsen, Ephraim leads his forces into the Renais castle throne room and kill Orson. The supposedly revived wife of Orson, Monica, is also a mindless zombie and is euthanized. Although Ephraim fears the people will hate him for his absense, the people Renais cheer him and Eirika for liberating Renais from Orson's misrule.
