Prince Lyon of Grado is another frail prince, but unlike Innes, he's a mage, so he has a better excuse. He is a gentle, kind soul with the will to do great things, and the power to make them happen. However, Lyon took a very big chance when messing with the Stone of Darkness, and his soul was slowly devoured by the evil power of the Demon King. He turned to the side of necromancy in evil, but still retained his consciousness enough to realize his undying love for Eirika and his jealously of her brother Ephraim. His attempts to save his country from disaster ended in the defiling of his soul... His first stint in the DL was quite kind to him, granting him three victories, a trip to the finals, and after being vanquished in Heavy, he was a finalist in Middle once again.
