Zelgius: Difference between revisions

Zelgius's loyalty to Sephiran was unquestionable and it was believed that he could never serve conflicting masters;<ref>{{Cite|A man like Zelgius could never serve conflicting interests... Never. Everything he did, he did for one master.

Well then... Perhaps I should leave it to you and see what happens!

One more syllable and I shall snap your neck, Valtome.|[[Valtome]] and Zelgius|Radiant Dawn}}</ref> The threat of harm coming to Sephiran was enough to press him into following the cruel and ill-advised orders of the other Begnion senators, if it meant preventing them from harming Sephiran. Despite his loyalty to Sephiran, Zelgius was known to overstep the boundaries of the tasks Sephiran set him to pursue his own agenda. For instance, while Sephiran had only tasked Zelgius with retrieving Lehran's Medallion from Greil and did not order the latter's death, Zelgius's desire to test himself caused him to go a step further and kill Greil.<ref>{{Cite|'''Ike:''' The Black Knight tried to take the medallion from my father, and killed him.

Would you please explain?<br>'''Sephiran:''' Sir Ike, I’m afraid your father’s death was an unfortunate result of Zelgius’s own personal agenda. I did not order Sir Gawain killed.
