Anankos

Lilith (Daughter)

Ankanos is the antagonist of Fire Emblem: Remembrance. Once revered as one of the First Dragons, his degeneration resulted in the obliteration of both Valla and almost all of its people.

## Profile

Anankos is one of the First Dragons, also known as the Silent Dragon and the Dragon of Wisdom. Anankos loved humanity and gave them longevity and knowledge. Anankos became particularly close to the kingdom of Valla and started to live among its inhabitants. He was also a particularly close friend of Cadros, the first king of Valla.

However, as with the other First Dragons, he began to degenerate over time. Unlike the other First Dragons, Anankos did not shed his mortal shell, opting to stay behind as a figurehead for the Vallite people. Through the power of a song and a fragment of his dragonstone, both of which were passed down through Vallite royalty, his urges could be quelled.

after many generations of kings, Anankos's rage grew strong enough for him to burn down a forest. The people of Valla blamed him for it and tried to kill him. Unable to comprehend that the very people he had helped had betrayed him, Anankos locked himself away in a mountain cave, where his detest of humanity grew.

The King of Valla and a few select people would make trips to his cave to express their belief in him.Unfortunately, he lost control of himself and killed the King of Valla of that time. Before he completely degenerated, he tore off a portion of his soul, which took on a human appearance in a last bid to stop his rage.

Anankos then began to form an invisible army consisting of many of his former Vallite subjects. He even began to resurrect the dead to strengthen his army. He also self-sired a daughter named Lilith to further his goals.

The human portion wandered with no memories of his past and soon met Mikoto. The two fell in love and eventually gave birth to a child. However, soon after the birth of his child, he recovered his memories and sent them away from the kingdom to spare them from the ruined kingdom.

## Personality

Anankos is portrayed as a ruthless dragon, seeing himself as no less than a god. Fully controlled by his draconic instincts, he loathes humanity and will stop at nothing to exterminate the human race. Although he considers himself to be the King of Valla, the Vallite people are no more than pawns whom he can freely control to bring his goals to fruition and will get rid of if they outlive their utility.

. After having succumbed to dragon degeneration, he is unrelentingly cruel and sadistic towards humans, especially towards Corrin, in whom he takes a special delight in tormenting through his puppet Garon. When confronted, he is shown to be incredibly irascible, ranting about how humans betrayed him and how they deserve to suffer for having left him abandoned.

But even in his maddened state, Anankos is shown to still feel hurt over having been shunned and rejected by the humans he used to care for so dearly, as shown when he begs Corrin to tell him why humans get to flourish, while he remains forgotten and buried.

In the past, Anankos was a benevolent dragon who loved humanity. Unfortunately, his draconic instincts eventually led to his degeneration. Before he could fully fall, he sealed himself for as long as possible to protect humanity. Still, a fragment of him lived separate from his body, keeping his original benevolent nature intact.

Eventually falling in love with Mikoto proved to be the biggest change in his life, as he became steadfastly protective of his family to send them away from harm long before the threat of his dragon form became apparent. Even after finding out the true nature of Lilith, he readily accepted his "daughter" and ultimately gave his life up to protect her.
