Cowen is a boss character encountered in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Hailing from Velthomer in Grannvale, he is also Aida's father and Saias' grandfather. After Aida died protecting Saias from Manfroy, Cowen hid Saias in an isolated church in order to protect him. He is very wary of the Lopto Sect's growing influence and is aware of Julius' possession by Loptyr. Despite this, he is an ardent supporter of the empire, perhaps wishing to see the empire return to the way it was when Alvis had more control.
