“	Most nobles get rich by trampling on the commoners, then spend their lives basking in filthy luxury. I've known them to be that way since the day I was born. They've never seen a blister or sweat for a day's meal in their lives. Do you know how lucky you are?	”	— Sothe to Astrid.

Sothe (サザ, Sothe) is a character in both Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and 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. He starts out as a thief in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and as a rogue in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Template:FEPR

Role

Sothe first appears in the story when he is caught as a stowaway on Nasir's ship, as it is ferrying the Greil Mercenaries to Begnion. Upon his capture, Sothe explains that he didn't sneak aboard to steal anything, but rather, to reach Begnion in order to search for his lost friend. Upon hearing this, Ike agrees to let Sothe travel with him and the mercenaries, in exchange for his work.

While in Nevassa, Sothe reveals to Ike that he was born and raised in Daein, and shares his disdain over how the invasion has damaged his homeland. Despite this, he continues to travel with the Crimean army. He also reveals that he was unable to find his friend in Begnion, and will have to trust that she is well somewhere.

When Ashnard is finally defeated, Sothe returns to Daein to await the return of his friend. This eventually leads to the first part of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

“	Wait, I know you… Crimea’s Royal Knights, Fifth Platoon leader… [...] Ah, you did well for yourself. Are you still travelling with Oscar? [...] Um, what’s your name again? [...] Oh, right, now I’ve got it. I hated the way you’d announce your name in the middle of the battlefield. That was annoying. [...] Hey now, don’t get mad. Other than the announcing thing, you were all right. But I have to fight. Prepare yourself!	”	— Sothe, when fighting Kieran in part 3 chapter 12 of Radiant Dawn.

“	I won’t live as long as you have, and I’ll never be as powerful. Things like saving the world and fighting goddesses are just beyond me. They’re out of my reach.

If that means I have to fight you to protect them, then so be it.	”	— Sothe, when fighting Dheginsea in part 4 final chapter-3 of Radiant Dawn.

“	Here goes… [...] No one’s more surprised than me. I can’t read people’s feelings like Micaiah… I’m not invincible in battle like Ike… Between all these laguz kings and great beorc heroes, I don’t really belong here. [...] Because there’s one thing I can’t afford to lose. Micaiah. I’ve come all this way just to protect her… I won’t lose her now. [...] Sothe.
