    [FE4 Character Discussion] Examining the Crusaders #45 - Ced, Hero on the Wind (& Hawke)

    Posted: 28 Dec 2020 07:40 AM PST

    Welcome back to Examining the Crusaders, the series where we look at all of the playable characters in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Last time we looked at Asaello, Hitman of Connaught; today we will look at Ced, Hero on the Wind and his substitute Hawke.

    ------

    Ced is a sage who is the son of Erin and the older brother of Fee. Sometime before the events of the second generation begin, Ced left Silesse in search of his father to try to bring him back one last time to see his ailing mother. Eventually, he found his way to Munster and led a sort of rebellion there; this is where the player first meets him.

    ------

    Chapter 8 introduction: At the beginning of the chapter, a villager from Munster hopelessly asks Ced when Munster will be freed from the Empire and Blume's abuses of power. Ced tells the man not to lose hope as Seliph's army is coming to save them; he asks him to spread this good news to his family and friends.

    After Connaught is seized, another villager will notify Ced that Thracia has deployed dracoknights from Meath to try to capture Munster. Ced is exasperated by the fact that Thracia comes out to fight them just as the imperial forces in the Munster District are finally defeated. The man pleads with Ced for help as the Liberation Army has yet to come to Munster; Ced orders them to flee north to Connaught while he fights off the dracoknights by himself. Another villager points out that not even Ced can survive such an attack; Ced brushes this off as he refuses to sacrifice any life other than his own life. He pushes the villagers to flee as time is of the essence.

    Ced's introduction is unique as Ced isn't introduced next to any other non-generic characters; he stands alone in leading the villagers in Munster. Ced isn't relying on anyone else to fight as he is shown to be leading the Munster rebellion movement alone; this is key to the next conversation. We then see Ced telling the villagers to run away while he tries to fight off the dragons on his own. This is a bold move that demonstrates that Ced is willing to sacrifice himself so the villagers can survive; it shows how selfless he is. Of course this doesn't mesh well with the actual game where Ced easily destroys the dracoknights on his own

    ------

    Chapter 8 conversation with Seliph: Seliph greets Ced and thanks him for everything he did in Munster. Ced implores Seliph to save the world as so many people have fallen into despair; he puts himself down as undeserving given the amount of children from Munster that were captured by the child hunts and sent to Miletos. Seliph refuses to agree that Ced is a coward; he explains that he needs the strength of his friends to fight the war, and then asks Ced to join him to fight. Ced thanks Seliph for this and promises to be loyal to him.

    Seliph gets to meet Ced and commend him on his bravery to lead the Munster rebellion, but Ced refuses to take credit; he initially feels bad over the fact that he could not save a child from the child hunts. Seliph at this point explains to Ced that he relies on his friends to help fight alongside him; he does not try to do everything on his own like Ced does because that is just impossible. Ced realizes this truth as well - that teamwork is key - and agrees to join with Seliph here.

    ------

    Chapter 8 conversation with Fee: Fee is happy to see her brother Ced for the first time in a while. Ced asks Fee what she's doing here; Fee says that she's been looking for him. This leads to Ced apologizing for leaving; he explained that when he passed through Munster in his search for their father, he encountered their plight and felt compelled to help them. This makes sense for Fee as it fits in with Ced being "incredible." Ced asks Fee if she is with Seliph's army, and Fee affirms that this is the case. Ced notes that this shows that Fee is like their mother who never turned her back on anyone in need, and Fee in return says that Ced is like her. She then says that she feels bad for their mother (Erin) because of how their father left her and that she's mad about that; Ced in turn says that he does not understand what their father was thinking when he left her.

    The joyful moment once again of Ced reuniting with his sister: here, Ced realizes that he did wrong as well to leave his family behind in search of his father and then get sidetracked by the plight of the people in Munster. In a sense, Ced made the same mistake that Lewyn made of leaving his family behind and getting sidetracked by another people; however, at least this time Ced does not have to be dragged back to Silesse by Fee.

    ------

    Chapter 8 conversation with Lewyn: Ced asks Seliph who the man standing next to him is; Seliph tells Ced that the man is his tactician, Lewyn. Ced is unsurprised that it is Lewyn, his father; Lewyn says that it's been a while since he's last seen Ced and asks him how things are. Ced snaps at Lewyn for taking such a casual tone after he's spent so many years looking for him after Lewyn left. Lewyn then asks how Erin is doing, which infuriates Ced even more as Erin is now dead; in fact, all Erin wanted was to see Lewyn one last time but she couldn't get that. Lewyn mumbles quietly to himself that it's a shame that Erin died. This leads to once again Ced yelling at Lewyn as he asks him if he can show any emotion at all given that he could not shed a single tear for his wife's death; he berates his father for hurting Fee to the point where she refuses to speak to him. Lewyn finishes up by telling Ced that he left his old life, including his family, for a reason and won't say anything more; this leaves Ced confused.

    Ced's arc with his father is only properly completed if Lewyn is Ced's father, in which case this conversation can be triggered. Lewyn casually brushes off Ced, his son whom he left years ago, and refuses to engage with him over leaving them or the fact that Lewyn ignored Fee when she tried to talk to him, breaking her heart. Lewyn cannot even be brought to care about Erin's death from illness any more than how much a person may care about losing a penny. It leaves Ced heartbroken and confused that Lewyn wants nothing to do with his family, but it's just another challenge for him to overcome just as everyone in the second generation has challenges.

    ------

    Endgame conversation with Tinny/Linda: Tinny asks Ced if he is alright; he answers that he is doing fine and tells Tinny to worry more about herself because of the tough enemies they are facing. Tinny concurs on this point but asserts that they will be fine as long as they are together. Ced then tells Tinny that he loves her and that she is the most important part of his life. Tinny chastises Ced for saying this in the middle of the battle; Ced apologizes and explains that he doesn't want to leave it unsaid in case something happened. Tinny finishes the conversation by telling Ced to be careful.

    Ced cares a lot about Tinny; he tells her to try to be careful as he would never forgive himself if something happened to Tinny. The fact that he suddenly tells Tinny that he loves her shows that Ced is a bit nervous about the battle ahead; it's kind of random but ties into his confidence issues shown in his conversation with Seliph in Chapter 8.

    ------

    Ending: Ced by default returns to Silesse after the war. He tells Seliph this, saying that he will give everything he has to help the Silessian people once he gets home. Seliph tells him that he knows Silesse is in capable hands if Ced returns there and tells him to take care.

    Ced goes back home to Silesse...honestly this isn't as interesting as Ced's ending if Lewyn is his father where he begs Lewyn to come back home with him, but I could not include that because of that ending not being unique to Ced.

    -------

    Hawke: Hawke is Ced's substitute. He is also a Silessian and the older brother of Hermina. Hawke has a unique conversation with Hermina in Chapter 8 as well as a secret event in Chapter 9.

    ------

    Chapter 8 conversation with Hermina: Hermina is happy to see her brother Hawke for the first time in a while. Hawke asks Hermina what she's doing here; Hermina says that she's been looking for him. This leads to Hawke apologizing for leaving; he explained that when he passed through Munster in his search for their father, he encountered their plight and felt compelled to help them. This makes sense for Hermina as it fits in with Hawke being "incredible." Hawke asks Hermina if she is with Seliph's army, and Hermina affirms that this is the case. For Hawke this makes sense to him as well, as Hermina admired Sigurd greatly. Hermina adds that she has always wanted to be as great a pegasus knight as the deceased Erin, bidding her brother to watch her get to that peak.

    This is basically the same as the conversation between Ced and Fee except that the part about their father is ripped out and replaced by Hermina looking up to Erin. Hawke is shown as feeling very attached to the plight of the people in Munster, just like Ced. Really the most interesting thing in this conversation is something only seen in Japanese, that being that Hawke refers to his father using the more informal word "オヤジ" (oyaji) rather than using the term "父上" (chichiue) like Ced does. This shows that Hawke is from a poorer family as he uses a more informal term (akin to "old man" in English) for his father.

    ------

    Chapter 9 secret event: Hawke enters Luthecia castle and sees a villager laughing. The villager tells Hawke that he was sitting around when suddenly a girl confessed her love to him; he adds that it feels great and that he wishes he could share his happiness with Hawke. Hawke is confused by this. The villager then realizes that Hawke is with the Liberation Army and tells him to take a tonic and secret book. Hawke thanks the villager for this. The villager closes the conversation by telling Hawke that he should find someone to love too.

    Hawke is obviously confused by this bizarre conversation that he walked into. And who wouldn't be?

    ------

    Final thoughts: Ced joins the Liberation Army as someone who uniquely led a rebellion by himself with only generic characters to help him. This already is impressive, but on top of that Ced tries to sacrifice himself so the villagers of Munster can escape; this shows that Ced is full of virtue. Yet, Ced lacks confidence in himself; it takes Seliph speaking with him to instill this confidence back in him. Ced also grows from this conversation as he learns to rely on others; Seliph shows him that it is only with the help of friends that he can do what he was doing. In addition to this, Ced's arc with his father follows a similar theme to other generation 2 children as Ced learns not to make the same mistakes his parents did. Like his possible father Lewyn, Ced ran away from Silesse and his family with good but misguided intentions; however, Fee is able to talk Ced into returning to Silesse, which he does at the end of the game. A final thing to look at to demonstrate Ced's growth is his ending if Lewyn is his father, i.e., that he inherits Silesse from Lewyn. At the beginning of his appearances, Ced was hurt by Lewyn turning his back on his family; now at the end, Ced is willing to forgive Lewyn and extend his hand to get his father back to Silesse. This shows Ced's character growth from being a teenager who wants to take matters into his own hands by himself into an adult.

    Hawke is...just kind of there. He's more informal than Ced and obviously raised in a non-noble family. He has similar themes to Ced but unfortunately does not have the opportunity to have Lewyn to develop his character in the same way.

    Thanks for reading this episode. Next we will discuss the wielder of the Gae Bolg, Altena, Luminous Rider. Until then!
