Following the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and its inclusion of ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists [[Marth]] and [[Roy]], ''Fire Emblem'' established itself outside Japan with two Game Boy Advance titles: ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones}}''. The international success of the former prompted developer Intelligent Systems to begin work on a more ambitious, large-scale ''Fire Emblem'' game for the Nintendo GameCube: ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance}}'', Ike's debut game, which released in 2005.

Ike is the son of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Greil}}, a legendary warrior who leads [[fireemblemwiki:Greil Mercenaries|a band of mercenaries]] which operates in {{s|fireemblemwiki|Crimea}}, a minor kingdom on the continent of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}. He and his younger sister, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Mist}}, live with the mercenaries in a remote Crimean fort. Notably, Ike is currently the only protagonist of a ''Fire Emblem'' game to have absolutely no royal, noble or divine ancestry at all; this is reflected in his initial [[fireemblemwiki:Class|character class]] in ''Path of Radiance'' not being the usual {{s|fireemblem|Lord}}, but rather the unique {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ranger|Path of Radiance}} that ultimately promotes into a Lord when he is temporarily knighted.

''Path of Radiance'' follows Ike's exploits through the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Mad King's War}}. Having only recently been allowed by Greil to join missions with the Mercenaries, Ike encounters Princess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Elincia}} of Crimea on the run after the neighboring Kingdom of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Daein}} attacked and conquered Crimea. Elincia hires the Greil Mercenaries to assist her in escaping Crimea, but after Greil himself is killed by his former student, the [[Black Knight]] of Daein, Ike is forced to take command of the Mercenaries.
