Death quote

I... wonder what will happen to me... I'm so scared... Boyd... Broth--
— Rolf, in Path of Radiance.
...So this is what fate...had in store for me... I'm so cold... I still had...a lot...to learn. Oscar... B-Boyd... Shinon...
— Rolf, in Radiant Dawn.
I… I guess it’s over…
— Rolf's retreat quote in part 3 chapter 13 of Radiant Dawn.

Battle quotes

Wow… That was nerve-wracking. Well, I’m off!
— Rolf's escape quote in Path of Radiance.
I-I’m not scared of you! It doesn’t matter if you’re a laguz; an enemy is an enemy!
— Rolf, when fighting Muarim in chapter 15 of Path of Radiance.
Shinon… [...] Uh…huh… Uncle Shinon…
— Rolf, when fighting Shinon in chapter 18 of Path of Radiance.
Phew… My heart’s racing! I’ll head out first!
— Rolf's escape quote in Radiant Dawn.
General Tauroneo… You’re still fighting in the Daein army? Let’s not do this. No matter how strong you are, Daein can’t win this war, and I don’t wanna hurt you. [...] OK, General, if you really wanna. But, just to tell you… Uncle Shinon’s been teaching me, so this might sting…
— Rolf, when fighting Tauroneo in part 3 final chapter of Radiant Dawn.
