The Icemelter

The Icemelter, human/Saint name Aubin, is one of the five lost Saints in Fire Emblem: Return of the Dragon Gods, the sequel to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is the son of Angrboda von Cerrunos, who was the sister of Sothis, and is therefore related to Seiros, Cethleann, Cichol, Macuil, and Indech.
His known descendants of House Mebd in the Adrestian Empire. Some of his noteable known descendants are Njord von Mebd, the current leader of House Mebd, and the current heir to House Aubin, Proserpine Berstuk Mebd. The legendary weapon and Hero Relic carried throughout the House is the sword Branwen.
He possesses a major Crest of Aubin, and was the first bearer of the Crest. However, the Crest was lost to history many years later until it was revived in secret by Camalus Aeval in secret in Imperial Year 912, though it was not discovered until Imperial Year 1176 under Edelgard's reign where the families with the lost to history Crests.
==Character appearance==
===Body structure===
The Icemelter's body structure is of a basic dragon's, with a slim, long body. He has two horns, both starting a bit from his eye, reaching about a foot long. His spikes and claws are half an inch, and therefore half of the horn's size. His wings are an average dragon size and shape, with a talon at the end of the wing being sharp and a third of a yard long. On his mouth, his front teeth are sharper and larger than the others, similar to a walrus. His underbelly is lined.
He has connected scale pattering, with his scales all connected and in various circles, though none are a complete circle. However, near his eye and nostril, he does not have any scales, where instead the symbol of the Crest of Aubin is depicted.
===Coloring===
The Icemelter's primary color are a seafoam green, with his horns a dark, pale blue similar to Byleth's hair color. His spikes on his back, tip of his wings, and claws are all a light blue. He has normal, white scelra with dark blue eyes, and his underbelly is a dark seafoam green.
==Personality==
The Icemelter is welcoming to people he knows, but not to anyone else, as shown in Chapter 7: The Ice Dragon's Fangs in Fire Emblem: Return of the Dragon Gods. However, the Icemelter can easily recognize any of his descendants, but refuses to prove to anyone if it is a power or if he automatically knows, as shown when Proserpine asks him how he knew she was a descendant of him. He was shown that he did not accept Turris at first until he developed a bond with him after the chapter battle, and until Chapter 10: Black Wings, he fights as an ally.
Before the chapter battle in Chapter 10: Black Wings, the Icemelter acts unfriendly to the Blackwing, Saint name Timotheos. However, it is revealed late in the chapter that the Icemelter had a grudge against the Blackwing and does not wish to interact with him, unlike his sisters the Rosebloomer and the Sharptalon as well as his other brother the Rimefrost, Saint names Noa, Ernest, and Chevalier, where he has a normal relationship with them.
Before trusting Turris and their party, the Icemelter was more pessimistic, certainly about people and if they might betray him, similar to Nemesis's acts before the events of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

==Profile==
===Part One: Dwelling In Secret===
The Icemelter does not appear until late part one, where he first appears in Chapter 7: The Ice Dragon's Fangs where Turris and his party arrive in the Iceflame Cavern. When he finds Turris (the Avatar) and their party, he shows disgust until he sees Proserpine, full name Proserpine Berstuk Mebd, who bears the a major Crest of Aubin as well as wielding Branwen, which was obtained in Chapter 5: The Sacred Sword, which he then slowly gains a bit of trust for Turris and their party, but he decides to have a fight since he feels pessimistic and untrustworthy towards everyone else except Proserpine, where he forces Proserpine to stay out of battle because he "wants to keep her safe."
After defeating the Icemelter, Turris and their other allies, including Proserpine, successfully convince the Icemelter that they were a safe organization and had the same objective as he did: to defeat Amaethon Elaine Diancecht, a woman who escaped to Duscur after the war started by Edelgard and was now planning to retake Fódlan under her rule. He becomes an ally and is unable to be controlled by the player until Chapter 10: Black Wings.
In Chapter 10, the Icemelter is captured by the Blackwing, which he had a grudge for in the first place as the entire party learns that the Blackwing had fell under and was taking orders from Amaethon. The Blackwing then retreats after his defeat, only to make Amaethon angrier and wanting to immediately attack Fódlan, in which she does, first heading for Edelgard's palace in the Adrestian Empire, though the party did not know of any hints about Amaethon's plan until she actually attacked and was caught by palace guards, though the Blackwing was already on the loose and attacking Fódlan except for his descendants, who had the Crest of Timotheos, which appeared to be on Amaethon's side.
===Part Two: Nation Versus Nation===
The Icemelter does not become an ally anymore but is still a somewhat major character. He appears in various chapters until he is captured by Amaethon in her plan to attempt him to get on her side, which Turris and their party immediately chase after her without knowing where Amaethon was planning to keep the Icemelter, though it takes the remaining chapters of the game to find the Icemelter with Amaethon, which they were found in a secret location near the borders of the sea and Fódlan near Hevring territory.
After Amaethon reveals secrets about Turris, including Turris actually being the child of Amaethon but was taken to Fódlan by their unnamed father after Amaethon planned to overthrow the Duscur royal family, in which Amaethon then traveled over to Fódlan in secret and murdered Turris's father during the night and erased their memory so they would have no idea about anything related to their father's murder and Amaethon's crimes, in which Turris was adopted into a merchant family.
After Amaethon is killed by Turris and his party, the Icemelter returns to the Iceflame Cavern and remains there for the rest of the game, where the game shortly ends afterwards after Edelgard gives news that Fódlan is back to a peaceful state since the Imperial Army took care of the last of Amaethon's army, including the Blackwing, whose body was lost in the sea with no clues or exact location known.
