Personality and character

Rath is a highly reserved man of few words. His insular nature is due to his upbringing; at the age of three he was cast out of his tribe and became a wandering laughingstock.[1] Rath does not understand much of his home tribe, the Kutolah, due to this.[3] He was cast out due to an omen seen by the tribe's diviner that said the chieftain's son must leave to prevent a disastrous dark flame from consuming everything.[4] Rath makes a point to not express weakness to others, and is surprised that Wil so openly tells of his shortcomings.[5] Despite his mistreatment and isolation from the people of Sacae he is still a proud Sacaen and respects other Sacaens.[6][7]

Rath apparently holds no hard feelings towards his tribe and returns to them after the death of Nergal and the summoned Fire Dragons. It is possible that Nergal's plans were what the diviner saw in the stars.

Endings

Lyn's tale

Rath, The Sacaen Nomad
In the celebration following Lyn's return to Caelin, Rath slips out unseen. Whether he has returned to Sacae or has continued to work as a mercenary, no one knows.

Eliwood/Hector's tale

Rath, Wolf of Sacae
Rath returned to his tribe in Sacae. His deeds earned him warm greetings from his father, the famed Silver Wolf.

Rath and Lyn
When her grandfather died, Lyn asked that Caelin be taken under Ostian protection. She set out for Sacae, where she was reunited with Rath of the Kutolah. They had a daughter and lived happily in the plains.
