As the war progressed, Zelgius took a keener interest in Ike's growth as a warrior. He appeared at the battle of Castle Delbray to observe from a far, and was challenged to another duel by Ike. Ike failed to injure him at all because of his blessed armor, and the Black Knight instructed him to wield Ragnell the next time they fought so that they could have a proper fight.

Soon after, the Black Knight concoted a plan to abduct [[Leanne]], one of the two surviving herons, from [[Phoenicis|Phoenicis Castle]] for use by Ashnard. After carefully planning to ensure that King [[Tibarn]] was well away from Phoenicis,<ref>{{Cite|'''Ashnard:''' For you, it did take quite a long time...Didn't it?<br>'''Black Knight:''' Diverting the sharp eyes of the hawk king proved to be quite difficult.

He then delivered Leanne to Ashnard, who had her imprisoned at Grinea Tower in preparation for awakening the dark god through the use of galdrar. After Gallia and Phoenicis' armies joined the war on Crimea's side following the battle at Marhaut range, Ashnard ordered the Black Knight to divide up the Daein forces to defend both Fort Pinell and Nados Castle, and then inquired after Ashnard's order to have Ena killed. While Ashnard no longer cared about Ena's fate, so long as she did not interfere with [[Rajaion|his dragon mount]], the Black Knight chose to proceed with executing her.

While the Phoenicis and Gallian armies engaged Daein forces at Nados Castle, the Black Knight arrived at the scene of a battle and defeated an entire unit by himself, then left the defense of the castle to General [[Hafedd]] while he dealt with Ena. After promising to deliver an apology to [[Nasir]] for her, the Black Knight struck her with a grievous but non-fatal blow, just as Ike arrived. Ike challenged him to single combat, wielding Ragnell, to avenge his father once and for all. Ike revealed as they fought that Greil had crippled himself, explaining the Black Knight's easy victory, and Zelgius realized that Ike might someday equal Greil in strength and be a worthier opponent. In order to ensure that Ike reached his potential and that he someday had a worthy battle, Zelgius let Ike win their duel.<ref>{{Cite|'''Ike:''' So, you are alive.

Having secretly survived the collapse of Nados, Zelgius continued to assist with the Begnion war effort under his own identity, up until the end.

For this retreat, Zelgius was berated by a senator for abandoning the fight and for failing to "exterminate the sub-humans", so Zelgius promised that he would bring an end to the war as soon as possible to assuage them. To achieve this, he challenged Skrimir to single combat at Soze Pass, an invitation which the hot-blooded and arrogant general readily accepted. Despite Skrimir's great strength, Zelgius won the duel and severely wounded Skrimir, then declared the war to be over. The defeat of Skrimir put a complete stop to Gallia's ability to continue the war, so Zelgius offered the Laguz Alliance three days to decide to pursue peace talks and ordered a ceasefire for the Begnion army. To the dismay and frustration of the Senate, Zelgius put an end to the war with minimal casualties, making a mockery of their plans and their desires for laguz extinction.<ref>{{Cite|'''Senator:''' Gah!

Zelgius's ceasefire was soon overruled by the arrival of [[Sigrun]] with a message from the Senate, which demanded that he continue the war and destroy the Laguz Alliance and their allies. The Senate had had Sephiran arrested as a traitor and Sanaki had disappeared, so Zelgius and Sigrun were forced to comply with thier will and keep fighting to prevent their masters from coming to harm.<ref>{{Cite|'''Zelgius:''' Is something the matter, General?

When the Alliance entered the lava-filled Kauku Caves, Zelgius chose not to pursue them any further because of the extreme danger, but was overruled by the arrival of Senator [[Valtome]] of Culbert, who had recently been assigned as the commander-in-chief of the Begnion army and Zelgius's new superior officer. Despite Zelgius's objections, Valtome forced him to leave the northern force behind to pursue the Laguz Alliance into the caves, while Zelgius, Levail, and Valtome headed north to prepare for a direct invasion of Gallia through Crimea. Zelgius attempted to advise Valtome to be more diplomatic on the matter, but was ignored as Valtome ordered the armies to ransack Crimean towns for supplies and funds.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
As a knight and general, Zelgius was considered by [[Levail]] to be the last true knight and an epitome of chivalry, so he was strictly honorable to the point that even his enemies readily believed him to be a man of his word. If there was a way of solving a situation without killing, he would always take that way and keep his acts as non-lethal as possible.<ref>{{Cite|It does not matter who the enemy is. If there is a way to avoid taking a life, that is the path I will choose. Leave now.

===Black Knight===
{{Tab
|tab1=Sinister General
|tab2=The Night’s Blade
|content1={{MtH
|full_name=Black Knight: Sinister General
|name=Black Knight Sinister General
|blurb1=The Black Knight is one of Daein’s Four Riders, a group of elite generals. He’s said to be the strongest, and carries the holy sword Alondite.
|blurb2=And what’s a black knight without black armor? I’m told his armor has been blessed with divine protection that deflects all attacks… I wouldn’t want to be stuck fighting against him!
|blurb3=That might be why he never takes his armor off. Only a select few know what he looks like, or even know much about his past. That said, it seems like he knows Greil of the Greil Mercenaries…
|blurb4=The Black Knight truly is an enigma, but when it comes to fighting, his talents are clear as day. I hope there’s some way we can get him to stick around with us!
|Related_name1=Greil
|Related_blurb1=The first leader of the Greil Mercenaries. Father of Ike and Mist. Will meet his family again at the Day of Devotion festival. He once taught the Black Knight his swordsmanship.
|Related_name2=Ike
|Related_blurb2=A kindhearted but stoic young man who has taken command of his father’s mercenary band. A worthy opponent in the eyes of the Black Knight.

|name=Black Knight The Night’s Blade
|blurb1=Who’s this popping out of a village house with a sack of presents over his shoulder? …Wait, I know that armor! It’s the Black Knight, and he’s here to deliver presents for the winter festival!
|blurb2=As always, the Black Knight has an eye-catching look. His trademark black armor remains the same, but he’s covered it with winter festival decorations!
|blurb3=There’s one other difference too: this time, he’s armed with an axe based on his signature weapon, the holy sword Alondite! I bet one swing of that axe will be enough to clear his path of even the heaviest snowfall!
|blurb4=For this winter festival, the Black Knight might just be showing us a whole new facet of himself. I suppose even the most mysterious of Heroes may have a playful side!
|Related_name1=Greil
|Related_blurb1=The first leader of the Greil Mercenaries. Father of Ike and Mist. Taught the Black Knight his swordsmanship.
|Related_name2=Ike
|Related_blurb2=A kindhearted but stoic young man who has taken command of his father’s mercenary band. A worthy opponent in the eyes of the Black Knight.

===Zelgius===
{{Tab
|tab1=Jet-Black General
|tab2=Ninja Knight
|content1={{MtH
|full_name=Zelgius: Jet-Black General
|name=Zelgius Jet-Black General
|blurb1=Zelgius, Earl of Kadohl, is regarded as Begnion’s greatest general. In fact, some call him the greatest in all of Tellius!
|blurb2=Zelgius led an army to support Crimea during the war with Daein, and three years later, he assumed command over Begnion’s forces fighting against the Laguz Alliance.
|blurb3=In addition to his reputation for leadership as a general, Zelgius is also renowned for his swordsmanship, and some consider him the continent’s foremost swordsman. He’s locked horns with laguz royalty, feared for their strength, and come away the victor!
|blurb4=You might wonder what drives him. Well, it seems that his true desire is to surpass his former mentor… I’m not sure who this mentor was, but looking at Zelgius’s track record so far, I don’t think his dream is out of reach. Keep it up, Zelgius! You’ll show them one day!
|Related_name1=Sephiran
|Related_blurb1=Senior Statesman of Begnion and Prime Minister who serves Sanaki. Wields his abilities with great skill. He gives Zelgius his orders on a number of occasions.
}}
|content2={{MtH
|full_name=Zelgius: Ninja Knight
|name=Zelgius Ninja Knight
|blurb1=Zelgius is the earl of Kadohl and one of Begnion’s greatest generals. And today, he’s participating in the ninja festival!
|blurb2=He’s a big fan of heavy armor—and I see something distinctively warrior-like about his outfit for the festival!
|blurb3=Normally, Zelgius wields a sword, but it looks like he’s chosen to pick up the lance for his festival appearance. It’s a vibrant red color, just like his armor!
|blurb4=Zelgius tends to be rather stern and serious, and I think he…might not really know what to do with himself in a festival setting. But you know, maybe being stoic and aloof is the best way to act like a ninja!
|Related_name1=Sanaki
|Related_blurb1=Empress of Begnion, the empire Zelgius serves. Known as the apostle, voice of the goddess. Young but dutiful ruler.
|Related_name2=Greil
|Related_blurb2=The first leader of the Greil Mercenaries. Father of Ike and Mist. Taught Zelgius his swordsmanship.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the North American description of the Black Knight claims he wields Ettard rather than Alondite; this was fixed in the PAL release. This was due to Alondite's Japanese name being Ettard.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the North American description of the Black Knight claims he wields Ettard rather than Alondite; this was fixed in the PAL release. This was due to Alondite's Japanese name being Ettard.
