Ephraim is the second main character from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, and the crown prince of Renais. He uses the lance as his primary and only weapon. His Prf Weapons are Reginlief and Siegmund.

Story

At the start of the game, Ephraim is fighting Grado with the help of only three loyal knights of Renais; Kyle, Forde and Orson. He is absent from the castle during Seth and Eirika's flight from the Grado army, and is first shown during a mandatory side chapter.

During this chapter, Ephraim and his entourage assault the Grado fortress of Renvall. After his success, the castle is surrounded by Valter, the Moonstone of Grado's Six Generals, and his armies. Ephraim and his group (sans Orson, who betrays him) break through Valter's army and flee.

Ephraim, Kyle and Forde come to the aid of Eirika's group during Chapter 8, when Eirika's group have been lured to Renvall by the plotting of Valter, Orson, and Valter's aide Tirado.

After the now-united group reclaim and escape Renvall, they return to Frelia only to part ways again; Ephraim marches on the Grado keep while Eirika and Innes travel to Rausten and Jehanna respectively, in order to warn the rulers there of the danger posed to their Sacred Stones.

Depending on a choice made by the player, Ephraim will either become the main character and take only the playable cast (sans Eirika), or remain the secondary Lord and take Frelian soldiers with him. If Eirika is chosen as the main character, Ephraim will return in Chapter 15 (Scorched Sands), with the Great Knight Duessel and the Shaman Knoll.
