11 Dyan is an antagonist in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. He is Saraminian, he is bound up in the succession crisis that opens the story of Theodora, and he appears as a boss in her route. His one published conviction is blunt: a country is territory, and territory ruled by a powerful king is what makes one.

88 The premise text for Theodora's route says she returns to Megaira, the royal capital of Saramis, for the first time in years after a tour of duty at Fort Zanbar, and that an assassin kills her father, King Sergio, and takes her right arm. Sergio had already named Theodora his successor despite her being the younger of his two children.

1010 Dyan is presented as the other child, her older brother, and later material connects him to the plot behind the killing. How far that involvement goes has not been set out by Nintendo, and the more specific version of the story, in which Dyan himself takes her arm, rests on a single roster description rather than on published dialogue. Treat the outline as established and the details as unconfirmed.

1212 Material shown so far also has him holding the Saramis throne between Sergio and Theodora, which would place his scenes before she takes control of the kingdom. One listing still calls him a prince rather than a king, so the point is open.

1616 A scene in Megaira has Bonaventure, the statesman who served under the previous king, put a direct question to Dyan about what a country actually is. Dyan answers that a country is territory, and that territory ruled by a powerful king is what makes it one. Bonaventure rejects the answer outright and tells him he lacks the power to win over the people. The exchange doubles as a statement of what Theodora is meant to be measured against.
