“ | My father was loved and trusted by so many. I just hope I can live up to that. | ” | — Seliph, to Lewyn. |

Seliph Baldos Chalphy (pronounced /ˈsɛlɪf/[key][1]; Japanese: セリス・バルドス・シアルフィ Celice Baldos Chalphy[2]) is the son of the late Sigurd and Deirdre, heir to Grannvale's former House Chalphy, and the half-brother of Imperial Prince Julius and Princess Julia of the Grannvale Empire. He is a descendant of both the Crusader Baldr through Sigurd, and of Saint Heim of the ruling Belhalla dynasty through Deirdre; as the eldest of Deirdre's children, he was as such the true heir to the Grannvale throne. Born in Agustria in the year 759 during its occupation by the Grannvale forces led by his father, he was sent into hiding in the ouskirts of Isaach for his own protection, taken by Oifey and Isaach's Prince Shanan, along with Larcei, Ulster and Delmud. There in the aftermath of the Battle of Belhalla, he lived in hiding in the village of Tirnanog for seventeen years, raised by Adean - who acted as a surrogate mother - and Oifey, and taught martial arts by Shanan.
As the years passed and Shanan began to organize a resistance army against the tyranny of the Grannvale Empire from Tirnanog, Seliph's existence slowly became known to the people of Isaach and he became a figure of hope for the oppressed masses, dubbed the "Scion of Light". This culminated in the year 777, when the Grannvale forces occupying Isaach learned of his existence and of his whereabouts and dispatched soldiers to Tirnanog to subjugate it; in response, Seliph led a small group out to combat the occupation forces and from there, on the advice of Lewyn, leave Isaach to recruit more members for a liberation force, free the other nations of Jugdral from the tyranny of Grannvale, and ultimately take the fight back to the capital Belhalla.
Seliph is the lord character of the second generation of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, succeeding Sigurd and finishing what he started. He does appear in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, but only briefly and not in a playable capacity.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
When troops of the Dozel occupation force were sighted approaching Tirnanog from the northern Ganeishire castle, Seliph chose to reveal himself to the world by departing to protect the village, despite Ulster's concern about the difficulty of doing so with Oifey and Shanan absent, and so he departed with Ulster, Larcei and Lana, soon backed up with the arrival of Oifey, Lester and Delmud. Upon claiming Ganeishire and defeating its master, General Harold, Seliph encountered Lewyn, who entrusted him with Julia before leaving for Leonster. From there, Seliph freed the rest of Isaach and killed King Danan, the appointed ruler of Isaach and the leader of the occupation of the country for the Grannvale Empire. Afterward, Lewyn returned from his work in Leonster, bringing news of the rise of scattered rebellions across Jugdral and encouraging Seliph to leave Isaach and form such a rebellion, citing him as a potential savior and the best hope the world has. While initially reluctant, Seliph accepted the duty.
From there, Seliph headed to the south through the Yied Desert to Leonster, to meet up with his cousin Prince Leif and assist him in his own liberation army. On the way, they freed Darna and the Yied Shrine; in the former, Seliph learned of the Miracle of Darna from Lewyn, while at the Shrine he found the remnants of the descendants of the Lopt Empire, the Shrine's former occupants. From Darna, Seliph's forces entered the Manster District and, working with Leif's group, defeated King Bloom of Friege and conquered Alster, freeing the north of the Thracian peninsula. His next move was a protracted war with Thracia, an ally of Grannvale, ending in the death of its King Travant and the escape of its Prince Areone.
With the entire Thracian peninsula subdued, Seliph led his army through Miletos, for the quickest route through to Grannvale; while resting at Peruluke Castle, Julia was abducted by Manfroy while Seliph was otherwise occupied. After liberating the nation and preventing the recapture of its children for the child hunts endorsed by the empire, the army crossed its strait and arrived back in Chalphy, under the guard of Emperor Arvis and his Rot Ritter. Seliph rescued the bishop Palmarch, a former servant of his father, and from him received Tyrfing as entrusted to Palmark by Arvis. With Tyrfing, Seliph confronted and killed Arvis and reclaimed his ancestral home.
Before Seliph lay the final stretch of the war: storming through Grannvale itself and seizing Belhalla, the capital. His army's first move was to reclaim Edda, then confront the forces of Dozel led by Burian and his Grau Ritter and seize Dozel itself, then defeat Hilda and her Gelb Ritter and seize Friege; as they progressed from castle to castle, Lewyn revealed to Seliph the full origin story of the Twelve Crusaders, Julia's identity as his half-sister, Julius's status as the vessel of Loptous, and the necessity of Julia and the Book of Naga to bring down Julius. Meanwhile, Julia had been hypnotized by Manfroy, and was set on the battlefield to fight Seliph's army. At Velthomer, Seliph confronted and killed Manfroy, freeing Julia from hypnosis, and the two found the Book of Naga hidden away in Velthomer Castle. With the Book of Naga in hand, Seliph and Julia confronted and killed Julius, ending the Grannvale Empire's seventeen-year reign.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
Role
At the end of Friege's six month long siege of Castle Leonster following Leif's recapture of it, Seliph's army launched an assault on Castle Alster, causing the Friege forces to retreat to reinforce their headquarters. Delmud arrived in Leonster as a messenger to Leif from Seliph, informing Leif that Seliph intended to claim Alster in only a few days. Leif departed Leonster to back Seliph up, but by the time he got to Alster, Seliph's forces had already conquered it, and there Leif met Seliph, Lewyn and Julia for the first time. In their brief meeting, it was decided that Seliph's forces would proceed to assault Conote while Leif's would take Manster, where the two groups would later meet up.
After the fall of Manster and the deaths of Raydrik and Veld, Leif received word from Finn that Conote had fallen to Seliph's forces, and soon after Seliph himself arrived in Manster to congratulate Leif for his victory. Seliph told Leif that from there, Northern Thracia would unite into a single country under Leif, and invited Leif to continue to assist him in the liberation of Jugdral. The two then pledged to each other their lifelong friendship and brotherhood, like their fathers before them.[3]

Endings
Genealogy of the Holy War
As for the Kingdom of Grannvale’s Belhalla Dynasty, Imperial Prince Seliph, thanks to the overwhelming support of the people, was officially hailed as King.
Seliph, who became a King, poured his strength into the reconstruction of the country and the peace of the Continent, and aimed at the realization of a wealthy world, free of discrimination and of domination.
And, at his side, there is the presence of
His Queen, <wife>, who always stay close to him and smile at him,
The Imperial Princess Julia, who’s watching over him warmly.
In the future, people will say
That there was a Holy King in Grannvale’s history,
And his name was... Seliph.

Seliph: No, you liberated Northern Thracia on your own, prince. I did nothing. Northern Thracia will now unite into a single nation under you. It would be our dream come true if such a large and rich nation were to help fight against the Empire. Lord Leif, I wish to ask you to continue to help us in our struggle. We still have many things to do, and many hardships to overcome. But I believe that together, we would be able to triumph over anything. I want to pledge an oath with you to be lifelong friends, like our fathers before us.
Leif: Yes! I always thought of you as an older brother. It would be an honor to be able to support you, Lord Seliph.
Seliph: Good! Then let us swear by this blade. When we were born was different, but when we die will be the same. Together, as comrades, brothers, and friends forever...let us swear to join hands and stand up to save this world from evil!
