His fire and powerful will of always pushing forward no matter what stood before him inspired many and gave them a new hope to live.Alen (アレン Aren, also translated as Alan or Allen in the fan translation) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade. He is part of family that has served House Pherae for a long time and, along with Lance, serves and travels with Roy to take back the lands annexed by Bern. He is the more reckless out of the two Pheraen cavaliers.

Alen will be a fast, mounted tank with his extremely high HP and good defense, speed, and luck. He has nice Attack and skill to boot, however of the 2 starting cavaliers, he will take training to start doubling enemies, making Lance superior in the end. In Hard mode, he is one of your best units to train, especially for his supports with Roy and Lance. Using him and Lance as a pair will make them a powerful duo, rivaling up as one of the best units in the game.
