Canon
Azelle and Edain are two playable characters in Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War. They are both nobles of Grannvale. Edain is the daughter of the Duke of Yngvi and Azelle is the half-brother of Arvis Duke of Velthomer. When Azelle see Edain for the first time (they were kids) he fall in love for her. Both are decendant of two crusaders ( Ullr and Fjalar respectively) and inherits a minor holy blood.

On the begining of the game most Grannvale's forces are fighting the kingdom of Isaach. The neighbour's kingdom Verdan took advantage of the fact that most Grannvale's forces are away to attack the country. Led by Munnir (Verdan's prince) Verdan's forces invade Yngvi. Edain is captured by Munnir who take her to Verdan. Sigurd (the heir to the dukedom next to Yngvi and Edain childhood friend) go to fight Verdan to defend the country against the invasion and to save his friend. Azelle was worried for Edain and join Sigurd's army. Jamke (Verdan's youngest prince) disagree with the invasion and free Edain alongside the thief Dew (who are asked to protect her) and they both join Sigurd's army.

When Edain reach Sigurd's army she has a conversation with Azelle. Azelle say that he is glad to see Edain safe and that a go to the fight when a learned that she was captured. Edain ask if Arvis agreed to let Azelle join the fight and he answered that he came without his brother's consent. Edain express that she is surprised to see Azelle on a battlefield since he abhor violence. If they reach enough love points together they will wed. If in chapter 4 they are married together they will have a special conversation. In this conversation Azelle reveal that he has the impression to be in a dream and that he love Edain since the first time he see her when he was very young. Edain answers that she is happy to be with him.

At the end of chapter 5, Sigurd is betrayed and killed by Arvis. Most of his army died with him. Azelle's fate is unknow. Edain manage to escape and go to Isaach (where some members of the army has sent their children to safety). She becomes an abbess in Tirnanog. She raises her own children Lana and Lester, and acts as a mother figure to Seliph, Diarmuid/Tristan, Larcei/Creidne, and Scáthach/Dalvin. In the second generation her two children that she has with her husband are playables. Her daughter Lana inherit her class and inventory while her son Lester inherit his father's inventory. After the war Lester will became the duke of Velthomer.

Fanon
Azeldain is mainly shipped for strategiques purpose by the players who whant to focuse on Lana: with Azelle as her father will have a excellent magic and be able to use all normal fire tome after her promition, she will also get the skill pursuit. She will also start generation 2 with the rescue staff in her inventory. Lester, however won't inherit any weapon and will have bad attack and defence stats, the only thing that he will get from this pairing is the pursuit skill.

On Edain's side the two main rivals are Midain and Jamkedain, the main reason that Midir or Jamke are generally chosen over Claud to be Edain's husband is that they give a decent Lana and a good Lester. With Midir/Jamke as his father Lester will be able to inherit weapons (inculding a brave bow) and will be good at physical combat.

The other option that focuse on Lana Claudain is sometime preferered, Lana will get a good magic and an excellent luck and be able to use all normal staff. However with Claud as his father Lester is worst than with Azelle since in this case he won't get the pursuit skill.

On Azelle side the main rival is Azelle x Tailtiu. If Azelle marry Tailtiu both their kids will get the pursuit skill, good stats and Arthur will inherit his father's tome.

Some players also prefere to pair Azelle with Lachesis. Both children will get pursuit and good magic stats, Nanna will be good at healing and Diarmuid will be good at fihgthing with magic swords. Diarmuid will also be able to inherit the swords that his father had bought after his promotion.
