Ike

Ike (アイク, Aiku) is the main character in the video game Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance for the Gamecube. His main weapons are swords, Ragnell being his most powerful. His class was originally Ranger, until chapter 18 where he is promoted to Lord.

History
In the video game, Ike is the son of Greil, a powerful warrior and the commander of the Greil Mercenaries. Ike is practicing his skills with his father, and ultimately his dad pretends to lose to boost his enthusiasm. Ike's sister, Mist, notices this, and boasts this to the two of them, where Ike then gets aggravated over his father for not trying his best. After traversing through the game's world, he and his army stumble upon Princess Elincia, who ran away from home after her entire family was slaughtered by enemy forces. Because of this, their land of Crimea has been taken over by Daein, and thus the quest to get back their country begins. After Ike saves his princess, he is thud dubbed the Lord of Princess Elincia.

Meanwhile, the Black Knight, one of the game's primary antagonists (though considerablly not the main one) attacks and kills Ike's father. Ike plans to get revenge on him, and is able to do so in a castle later on in the game. Nevertheless, if you're not capable of doing so, then you are still allowed to retreat, though killing the Black Knight with Ike's powerful sword Ragnell will give you plenty of bonuses before going onto the last level, including a powerful new dragon character who'll otherwise die if you don't kill the Black Knight.

At the end of the game, Ike and his army will continue onto the capital of Crimea, which at this time was taken over by Ashnard. After ultimately killing him, Crimea will once again go back under the control of Princess Elincia.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Marth and Roy were the first Fire Emblem characters in the Super Smash Bros. series, and were introduced (in the Smash series) in Super Smash Bros. Melee. After Melee was released, the series started to become popular with Americans, and thus plenty of games came out state-side, with Path of Radiance arguably being the most popular. Because of this, Ike became the primary Fire Emblem character for the third game in the Super Smash Bros. series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii, where he appeared in his Ranger outfit, though with Ragnell, which he doesn't get until after promoting to Lord. His final smash is called the Great Aether.
