Veyona

Veyona is a boss character from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is a caretaker to the Begnion Senate and probably a brilliant tactician. He was put in charge of the camp where the Senators were located while the battle raged at the Ribahn River.

Profile

When Veyona discovers that Ike and the Greil Mercenaries had launched a surprise attack towards the camp, he is impressed that the Laguz assault turned out to be rather a decoy to distract General Zelgius for the time being, and that their real objective was the camp. Doing so would force Zelgius to obey orders and pull his soldiers away from the battlefield. He also believes that this was the strategy of a Beorc rather than a Laguz. Being at a disadvantage, Veyona tries to hold out and maintain the camp with all his power until the Begnion army returns while the Senators cowardly flee. Even when Ike orders him to stand down in exchange to spare his life, Veyona refuses to do so as he knows both of them are soldiers nonetheless, and must carry on their master's wishes.

The battle concludes with Veyona failing his objective while the mercenaries accomplish their mission by burning all the base's supplies, setting their horses loose, as well as optionally stealing from the fleeing senators. Veyona is either slain in combat or survives and is assumed to be apprehended after the battle.

Veyona can optionally be killed depending on the player's decision since it is not required to kill him to beat the chapter, but it is recommended because he drops the Shade Scroll upon being defeated. Should he live, he is not mentioned throughout the course of the game.

Personality

Although not much is known about Veyona's personality due to the minor role he plays, several aspects of his character can still be gleaned based on the lines he speaks. Veyona cares nothing for the senators; though he wanted to see them get knocked about, he had no choice but to guard their camp or he would be executed. Aside from his dislike towards the senators, he has respect towards Zelgius and only intended on guarding the camp to honor his name. He is also hinted to be a brilliant tactician of some sort, figuring out the Laguz assault being a decoy was a strategy planned by Beorc. Veyona isn't racist to the Laguz, and addresses their species properly, rather than calling them sub-humans. This gives him a unique trait compared to most Begnion generals in the senate.

Vs. Ike

• Veyona: The laguz assault was a decoy, and your real objective was this camp? You're more clever than I expected. This isn't strategy of laguz. It must have been planned by beorc.
• Ike: Our objective is only to burn these supplies. Step aside, and I'll spare your life.
• Veyona: You know I can't do that. Our masters may be fools, but we are their soldiers nonetheless. Our duty is to carry out orders from our master.
• Ike: I thought you'd say that. But I have duty as well.
