'''Jagen''' (called '''Jeigan''' in previous translations) is a playable unit in ''[[Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi]]'' as well as its remakes in ''[[Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo|Monshou no Nazo]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon|Shadow Dragon]]'', as well as appearing as a supporting character in Book 2 of ''Monshou no Nazo''.

=Background=

==Book One==

Jagen was a powerful and seasoned veteran of the Altean army, who was known for his formidable abilities despite his age. He first showed up in the second portion of ''Shadow Dragon'''s prologue, where he was assigned to protect [[Marth]] and helped him in his escape from Altea. Afterwards, he was automatically playable in all of the other Book One games, aiding the Altean army in their campaign during the War of Darkness. Following the war's conclusion, Jagen retired from active duty and replaced the ill [[Malledus]] as Marth's tactician.

==Book Two==

Two years later, Jagen still acted as Marth's adviser as he progressed in his new campaign during the War of Heroes, considering himself no longer fit for combat as he grew older. Jagen advised Marth to show restraint when dealing with the cruel and infuriating [[Commander Lang]], but when Marth finally had too much and stood up to him, Jagen joined in and went as far as to challenge Lang to a fight, though Lang chose to flee instead. 

Jagen continued to provide invaluable advice and guidance to Marth throughout his journey, and reassured him when he had doubts about his abilities. It was not always so reassuring though, such as in the final chapter when the path to [[Medeus]] was blocked by the hypnotized [[Elice]], [[Rena]], [[Maria]] and [[Nyna]]. Jagen honestly pointed out that at least one of the women would have to be killed in order to reach Medeus. When Marth protested this, Jagen told him it was just an option and that it was up to Marth to make the final decision.

The ending only mentions that following Jagen's death (how long after the game is undisclosed), [[Kain]] succeeded him as Marth's subordinate.

=Other Appearances=

*Jagen appears in the two episode ''Fire Emblem'' anime OVA, where he is first seen being teleported out of Altea Castle with Marth by Elice. Afterwards, he follows a role similar to his role in the games.

=Trivia=

*In fan circles, he has become known as an archetypical Fire Emblem character who is pre-promoted and nearly invincible early in the game; however, he takes up experience that could be used to strengthen weaker characters and is outmatched by later enemies of the game due to poor growth rates. This is actually pointed out (using in-universe terms) by a villager in ''Shadow Dragon''.
**Later Jagan characters include [[Arran]], [[Briggid]], [[Dagda]], [[Marcus]], [[Seth]] and [[Titania]], although the latter are disputed due to better growth rates.
*In ''Shadow Dragon'', he receives a Support Bonus from Marth.
