Pent

Pent ​is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is sage living in the Nabata Desert with his wife Louise and his teacher Athos. He is actually Count Reglay of Etruria, and a legendary Mage General of Etruria, as well as Erk's magic teacher. He is an avid scholar similar to the shaman Canas. He and Louise, his wife, are the parents of the sniper Klein and the troubadour Clarine of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. In the game, if he falls in battle, he and his wife Louise will both leave the party.

Profile
Throughout Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Pent is portrayed as an odd noble. For most of the game he is, in fact, completely absent from his post in Etruria, absorbed in his studies and his role as Athos's student. Even more odd is his choice of wife in the sniper Louise, a woman who is neither of a high noble origin or skilled in courtly pursuits. In Louise's supports with Rebecca, it is explained that he chose her among many other women because she admitted not being a skilled dancer or singer, but she then boldly offered to protect him with her bow and arrows instead.

Pent joins the player's side after encountering Eliwood and friends in the desert whilst he searched for lost tomes and artifacts. The bandits Paul and Jasmine ambush him in an attempt to rob him, therefore Eliwood's mission becomes to protect Pent. After the chapter ends, Pent and Hawkeye lead the others to Athos. He appears in the story scenes in every subsequent chapter until he and Louise officially join in Chapter 24. In part two of the final chapter, Louise reveals to him that she is pregnant with Klein, their first child. Some time later they have a second child, Clarine. After Athos's passing, Pent takes over his teacher's research and resigns as Mage General of Etruria, which sends the local nobility into a frenzy.

While he does not appear in person, Pent is mentioned by name in Klein and Dieck's supports in The Binding Blade. Before the events of the game, he hired Dieck after he saved Klein from a lion and treated him as his own son, despite the complaints of the other nobles. It is also revealed that he and Louise are alive and well during the events of the story, apparently not concerned about Arcard and Roartz's uprising, presumably due to Pent being retired for decades already.
