Recruitment: Chapter 12, view base conversation "Boy" If Sothe reaches level 20 in Path of Radiance, his stats will directly become his Radiant Dawn base stats if the game is started via data transfer. His survival unlocks a base conversation later in the game, where he tells Ike that he is from Daein. Sothe is recruited in base conversation in Chapter 12, if the player chooses to recruit him. He then accompanied the army during the battles against the Goldoans, Sephiran, and Ashera herself.Īfter the conflict, Sothe returned to Daein to resume his role as Micaiah's protector and, depending on player choice, marry her as well. After their first final battle, Sothe retrieved Pelleas's blood pact from Lekain's corpse, and Micaiah destroyed it. When the three armies converged on the Tower of Guidance, Sothe was one of the chosen few to enter it, along with Ike and Micaiah. During one battle, they also attempted to take the blood pact from Lekain, but were unsuccessful as he used his Rewarp staff to escape. Sothe was assigned to the Silver Army, and he traveled with Micaiah during their skirmishes with the Disciples of Order. After a climactic battle, Sothe was one of the few to not be petrified by Ashera. Kurthnaga then arrived and attempted to stop the fighting, but was unsuccessful as the Daein army refused to stand down due to the blood pact. They then convinced Almedha to reveal an alternate way of breaking the blood pact: killing the pact author, Lekain. When their efforts failed and the army broke into the castle, Sothe and Micaiah realized that Almedha knew more than she told them about the blood pact. Once Pelleas revealed the existence of the blood pact, Sothe decided to stay and defend against the Apostle's Army. Later in the conflict, Sothe was picked up and used as a hostage by Tibarn, which led to him angrily threatening to abandon Pelleas, unless Pelleas explained why they were still opposing the Laguz Alliance despite heavy losses and the militarily stronger Apostle's Army marching on their location. Pelleas ordered Micaiah to oppose them and side with Begnion, to which she and Sothe complied, but Sothe voiced his reluctance to do so. Sothe continued to fight with the Dawn Brigade after they joined forces with Pelleas and Izuka's troops to become the Daein Liberation Army.Īfter the liberation of Daein, the Laguz Alliance declared war on Begnion due to the senators' role in the Serenes Massacre.



At an unknown point in time, Sothe also contacted Tormod, instructing him to inform Empress Sanaki of the current situation in Daein. Sothe began serving as Micaiah's unofficial bodyguard and advisor after that. When Jarod and the Begnion Occupation Army began abusing their power and cracking down on innocent civilians, Micaiah and Sothe found Nolan's Dawn Brigade and joined with them. Sothe accompanied the Greil Mercenaries for the rest of the war, but was unsuccessful in locating Micaiah.ĭuring the three years after the Mad King's War, Sothe reunited with Micaiah in Nevassa, after which Micaiah promised to never leave him again. He was eventually discovered, but upon explaining his plight to Ike, Ike decided to let him join the army so he could look for Micaiah. Sothe attempted to track her down, eventually leading him to the Crimean town of Toha during the Mad King's War, where he stowed away in Nasir's ship while the Greil Mercenaries were escaping from Daein troops because he had no other leads. Micaiah eventually ran away from Sothe because she thought her Brand might cause trouble for him. They lived an itinerant life, frequently moving to hide Micaiah's Branded heritage. About a decade before the events of Radiant Dawn, Sothe met Micaiah, who took him in and treated him like a little brother. Sothe was born in Daein to unknown parents, but was orphaned and grew up on the streets in Nevassa, stealing to survive. He starts out as a thief in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and as a rogue in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He plays a minor role in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, but is a major character in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Sothe (Japanese: サザ Sothe) is a character in both Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They've never seen a blister or sweat for a day's meal in their lives. I've known them to be that way since the day I was born. Most nobles get rich by trampling on the commoners, then spend their lives basking in filthy luxury. He is like a brother to Micaiah, and his search for her led him to meet Ike and fight in the Mad King's war.
