Why must I use the name of a tyrannical FE villain as a Username? Because he is one of the greatest characters to grace a games console. He is probably the strongest unit in the [[Fire Emblem]] series as well as hosting some classic quotes — no one can be as demonic as him yet be so humourous. He also has the most remarkable weapon in the game: Gurgurant. Statistically, he is stronger than the [[List of characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance#The Black Knight|Black Knight]], yet he is inferior in skill; so the outcome of a duel would depend merely on luck, (even though I'd opt for Ashnard to prevail). However, [[Ashnard]] is unique in being able to touch Lehran's medallion (only applicable in Hard mode) without becoming [[berserk]]; could this possibly imply that he holds greater strength than the esteemed [[List of characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance#Greil|Gawain]], the "hero" who butchered his wife at the mere touch of the medallion? Ashnard then becomes Mad King Ashnard, who then succumbs to enhanced battle statistics — at this point, he easily surpasses the Black Knight. |

He's also quite diplomatic (in a strange, ironic way); whilst the generic villagers discriminate against the Laguz, he is racially equalitarian, even employing the apparent half-breed [[List of characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance#Petrine|Petrine]] and the Goldoan [[List of characters in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance#Ena|Ena]], (although it is debatable as to whether he was aware of their race). He is an elitist, and believes the strongest must rule over weak. This ideology is further reinforced after his gracious death quote (which happens to be similar in nature to that of the Black Knight's.) |

Hello, I am an avid Fire Emblem fan (hence the name) and a general fan of videogames, so most of my contributions are centred around them. I am from Middlesbrough, England and am a lifelong Boro fan (Middlesbrough Football Club). I only own Nintendo consoles and prefer Eastern games; I also love The Legend of Zelda series and am in the minority in viewing The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker as one of the best entries. I am also a fan of the Metal Gear series.
Currently, I am one of the few active Wikipedians that contributes regularly to the Fire Emblem articles. If anybody has any queries regarding the Fire Emblem articles, feel free to contact me on my Talk page. I cover most Fire Emblem articles, with the exception of Fire Emblem: Akatsuki no Megami and the articles related to it (spoiler evasion). I have also never played the games that were released exclusively in Japan, so my knowledge of them is limited.
About the Username
Why must I use the name of a tyrannical FE villain as a Username? Because he is one of the greatest characters to grace a games console. He is probably the strongest unit in the Fire Emblem series as well as hosting some classic quotes — no one can be as demonic as him yet be so humourous. He also has the most remarkable weapon in the game: Gurgurant. Statistically, he is stronger than the Black Knight, yet he is inferior in skill; so the outcome of a duel would depend merely on luck, (even though I'd opt for Ashnard to prevail). However, Ashnard is unique in being able to touch Lehran's medallion (only applicable in Hard mode) without becoming berserk; could this possibly imply that he holds greater strength than the esteemed Gawain, the "hero" who butchered his wife at the mere touch of the medallion? Ashnard then becomes Mad King Ashnard, who then succumbs to enhanced battle statistics — at this point, he easily surpasses the Black Knight.
He's also quite diplomatic (in a strange, ironic way); whilst the generic villagers discriminate against the Laguz, he is racially equalitarian, even employing the apparent half-breed Petrine and the Goldoan Ena, (although it is debatable as to whether he was aware of their race). He is an elitist, and believes the strongest must rule over weak. This ideology is further reinforced after his gracious death quote (which happens to be similar in nature to that of the Black Knight's.)
That is why the charismatic antagonist is greater than the rather stereotypical Lord, Ike.
Note: Although I favour Ashnard, I do not concur with the ideologies that he displays throughout the game (well, most of them).
Current task(s)
- Help get Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones to GA status — not yet though.
- General clean-up of Fire Emblem articles. (Just about a permanent task)
Please feel at liberty to contact me on my Talk page and offer me some recommendations or thoughts related to the task.
