**Angelus** is a playable character in *Andaron Saga*. He is a mysterious traveling musician and singer, and sister to Emilia.

## Personality

Angelus is a boisterous and whimsical bard who, similarly to Baudimon, disregards his nobility and enjoys mingling with the commonfolk. He is also a massive extrovert and tries to talk to just about everyone, notably the cynical Shom. Being a bard, he enjoys writing and singing songs, which are ironically more sinister and grim contrasting his cheerful personality. He also is a history enthusiast, often reading books about past Andaron monarchs and world events, even basing some of his songs about important historical events and figures, always advocating to keep their memories alive and so they aren’t forgotten.

## In Game

### *Andaron Saga*

#### Overall

Unlike many of the Fire Emblem games it is based on, *Andaron Saga* gives the player a refresher unit right away Ch. 1 in the form of Angelus the Bard. Naturally, as his archetype tends to be, Angelus is extremely useful for his flexibility and ability to double down on whatever task is needed for the situation, whether that is combat, healing or simply repositioning a unit to a better location.

He cannot normally wield any weapons or spells, but he can use his unique ring items Dark Hymn and Fiery Chant to provide a avoid and crit boost to a unit that he refreshes, respectively - coupled with his personal skill Charisma, he functions as a great passive supporting unit as well. As a Bard, Angelus is naturally squishy and can rarely take more than one round of combat at once, although his excellent speed makes him surprisingly difficult to hit, especially in good terrain. Nevertheless, he should generally be guarded and kept out of enemy range except in the most dire of situations.

During Ch. 22x, if still alive by that point, he will request to leave the party to return to House Darkholm. If this choice is accepted, he will not be available for the next 4 chapters, which will allow Zahri to be recruited in Ch. 23. Angelus will eventually return in Ch. 26 now able to wield Dark magic, effectively turning him into a fast dark magic glass cannon. However, if Zahri is still present in the army, he can no longer refresh allies unless the two of them receive their A-support together, which cannot happen until at least Ch. 29. The decision to send him away or not thus depends on if the player has a need for his new mage archetype, if Zahri's benefits as a dancer are preferred over Angelus' as a Bard, or if they they have saved up support slots with both of them to field them together and eventually gain two dancers for the last few chapters of the game.
