Fire Emblem story information
Zelgius & Sephiran
By: Aurabolt
Summary
One is a high ranking knight of the Begnion Empire. The other, the Duke
of Persis in the Begnion Empire. Despite the power, prestige and honor
Zelgius gained as a citizen and solider in the service of Begnion, the
only man whose will he will bend to without question, without
hesitation is Sephiran's.
History
No time table is given but it's believed the two met after Zelgius
become a renowned knight of Daein. The two met privately inside a room
where Zelgius confided in Sephiran about his past youth before he came
to Daein and in the process reveals that he is one of the Branded—one
born with Beorc and Laguz blood flowing in their veins.
Zelgius always wears armor because his mark, or Brand is located on his
lower back. Upon learning this, Sephiran apologizes for the shame
Zelgius
has had to live with. It's never actually stated doing their first
meeting but it's possible Sephiran tells Zelgius that he is really
Lehran. In the
end Zelgius agrees to leave Daein with Sephiran.
Sometime
after their first meeting, the two enter a town that appears to have
been the site of a massacre. Zelgius is shocked when he recognizes the
unconscious man who appeared to have been the one who committed this
atrocity: Gawain, his old commander. Sephiran inspects the woman lying
dead next to Gawain and notices she is holding Lehran's Medallion.
Before he can retrieve it, their children—a young Ike and Mist—emerge
from a nearby house.
Ike is horrified at the
sight of the carnage. Mist, too young to understand what happened grabs
the medallion and takes it inside. Sephiran is relieved when he notices
it has no ill effect on her. After burying their mother and moving
Gawain inside, Sephiran erases the memory of what happened from Ike and
Mist's memories.
The two are not seen together
until after Crimea falls during the Mad King's War. Zelgius—under the
guise of the Black Knight—has a chance meeting with Sephiran. Sephiran
helps Ranulf escape certain death at the hands of the then-infamous
Daein Rider.
When corrupt senators seize power in
Begnion, Sephiran is imprisoned. Upon learning this, Zelgius leaves in
the middle of a battle to free his master. It is at this point that
Sephiran decides that it's time the world know the wrath of the Goddess
Ashera.
