Here’s Hardin, who once fought alongside Marth! But these days, it seems that some terrible darkness has taken hold of him…

After marrying his beloved Princess Nyna, the triumphant Hardin became the king of Archanea—but the scheming Gharnef exploited a moment of weakness, and before long, Hardin was known instead as the Dark Emperor, overseer of a bloody reign.

A changed man, Hardin cut ties with Marth. No one would have ever thought that the sacred lance Gradivus would be turned against a friend…

Still, I believe that Hardin can yet mend his ways…and maybe he can join the Order of Heroes and help us out while he’s at it!
