'''Zephiel''' (Japanese: {{hover|ゼフィール|Zefīru}} ''Zefhyr'') was the King of [[Bern]], the son of the late King [[Desmond]] and his estranged wife [[Hellene]], and the half-brother of Princess [[Guinivere]]. As a child, his jealous father sought to assassinate him by hiring the [[Black Fang]], then later almost killed him personally, with Zephiel surviving barely only through the care of his most loyal attendant, General [[Murdock]]. These experiences deeply embittered Zephiel, convincing him of the weakness and monstrosity inherent in humanity and the need to end humanity's grip on [[Elibe]]. This led him to unseal and awaken the [[Demon Dragon]] [[Idunn]] and, in alliance with [[Jahn]], engage the rest of Elibe in a full-scale war, the [[Disturbance of Bern]], with the intent of wiping out humanity and restoring Elibe to the rule of [[dragon]]s.

===Youth===
Zephiel's great talent even in his youth embittered Desmond from the very beginning, and since becoming estranged from Hellene, Desmond sought to invalidate Zephiel's claim to the throne of Bern by any means necessary. In his first attempt, he arranged for the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] to be stolen by the [[Black Fang]], as the item would be crucial to Zephiel's impending coming-of-age ceremony. On the day [[Eliwood]], [[Hector]] and [[Lyn]] came to the Bern palace to investigate the disappearance of the Emblem, Zephiel and Murdock had also come to the palace on a visit to Guinivere, having heard she was ill, and presented her with a pet baby fox he caught on a hunt. There, he encountered his father, and attempted to be courteous and kind in the face of Desmond's thinly-veiled contempt. At Desmond's "request", Zephiel departed to return to his mother's manse.
Zephiel's great talent even in his youth embittered Desmond from the very beginning, and since becoming estranged from Hellene, Desmond sought to invalidate Zephiel's claim to the throne of Bern by any means necessary. First, he arranged for the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] to be stolen by the [[Black Fang]] and kept hidden for ten days, as the item would be crucial to Zephiel's impending coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time he made a second request to Sonia,<ref>{{Cite|'''Desmond:''' And what of my other request?<br>'''Sonia:''' One of the Four Fangs will tend to it. There will be no mistakes. However, General Murdock, the man protecting the prince... He is young, yet well respected. Shall we finish him, too?|[[Desmond]] and [[Sonia]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> which was later revealed to be an assassination attempt on Zephiel himself.<ref>{{Cite|'''Sonia:''' You heard the king's request, did you not?<br>'''Jaffar:''' Prince Zephiel... He wants him assassinated.<br>'''Nino:''' What? The prince? The king wants to kill the prince?|[[Sonia]], [[Jaffar]], and [[Nino]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> On the day [[Eliwood]], [[Hector]], and [[Lyn]] came to the Bern palace to investigate the disappearance of the Emblem, Zephiel and Murdock had also come to the palace on a visit to Guinivere, having heard she was ill, and presented her with a pet baby fox he caught on a hunt. There, he encountered his father, and attempted to be courteous and kind in the face of Desmond's thinly-veiled contempt. At Desmond's "request", Zephiel departed to return to his mother's manse.


The Emblem was retrieved from the Black Fang by Eliwood's company, and so several nights later, on the eve of his coming of age, Zephiel's manse was invaded by [[Jaffar]] and [[Nino]] of the [[Black Fang]], again hired by Desmond. He gave a prayer hoping for his family to become happy and untroubled again, and shortly after was assaulted by Jaffar, who stunned him; however, moved by his prayer, Nino refused to go through with killing Zephiel, and the two fled. Zephiel woke up some time later to find the manse invaded by a larger Black Fang force intending to finish the job, with the turncoat Jaffar as his only protection. Meanwhile, Eliwood and Hector's band worked its way through the manse to come to his aid; though initially skeptical of their honesty and their refusal to identify themselves, he nonetheless trusted them with assisting him, believing that he would already be dead were they assassins.

===Attempted assassination===
Some time afterward, Desmond made the announcement that the heir to Bern's throne would be Guinivere's eventual husband. Zephiel didn't mind at all, but the people of Bern - hopeful in the light of Zephiel's undeniable talent and wisdom - were outraged at the news and put much pressure on Desmond. In response, he personally attempted to kill Zephiel by, at a banquet, handing him a spiked drink. This nearly killed Zephiel, saved only by the care of Murdock.

Upon recovering, Zephiel learned of Desmond's intentions to have his mother and Murdock branded as traitors and murdered, and in response Zephiel faked his own death with Murdock's assistance. A false funeral was arranged, and when Desmond came to observe his dead son, Zephiel rose from the casket and, sword in hand, slew Desmond. These events were related many years later to [[Roy]] by [[Guinivere]], as the Etrurian army prepared to enter Bern and end [[Disturbance of Bern|the war]]; Guinivere commented that, though as a child she could not fully grasp was what going on beyond her father's death, she did notice a distinct shift in Zephiel himself, and that he never smiled again.<ref>{{Cite|'''Roy:''' You said King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil in everything he did...

At the onset of the Disturbance of Bern, after [[Narcian]] and [[Brunnya]] successfully subdued the leaders of the [[Lycia]]n League at [[Araphen]], Zephiel arrived and had their wounded leader, [[Hector]], brought before him. Hector attempted to ask him why he had launched the war in light of the friendship between their nations, a notion dismissed by Zephiel as a triviality in the face of his goal to liberate the world by placing it under his sole rule. Brunnya then informed him of her intent to return to Sacae, but first questioned his work with [[Idunn]], a figure subject to suspicion and superstition among the Bern forces; Zephiel dismissed her concerns by stating that one with her level of faith in him should follow his path without question, then expressed some amusement with his dramatic approach to her concerns after the fact.

[[Rescue Mission|Later]], Zephiel arrived at the site of a siege of a [[Missur]] castle led by Narcian and [[Flaer]]. Etruria's General [[Cecilia]], leader of the Loyalists' rebellion against the Etrurian coup d'etat, was its occupant, resisting the Bern forces in their efforts to seize the castle and protecting Guinivere. In the face of the Bern army's failure to seize the castle, Zephiel chose to personally give Cecilia the "honour" of fighting him in a one-on-one duel, easily defeating and severely wounding her. With Cecilia's defeat, Bern's forces moved in and occupied the castle, and Guinivere was brought before Zephiel. Guinivere tried to reason with Zephiel, who in response explained his motives to free the world from the destructive nature of man and attempted to justify the slaughter of countless innocents his process entailed. Zephiel ordered [[Milady]] to escort Guinivere back to Bern and to ensure that the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] she carried was returned to the [[Shrine of Seals]], and after telling Narcian to send some of his forces into the [[Nabata Desert]] to find the rumoured [[Arcadia (location)|hidden dragon village]], he departed.

[[An Undying Dream|Eventually]], the Etrurian army under General [[Roy]] arrived at Bern Keep, and Zephiel received the news of [[Murdock]]'s death. Zephiel tasked Brunnya with taking Idunn and fleeing Bern Keep, lest they lose Idunn and the entire war be rendered pointless; he also instructed Idunn to continue their work in the event of his death. Roy's army soon worked its way into the throne room, unlocked by two switches and the Fire Emblem, and Roy himself confronted Zephiel.

Zephiel again explained his motivation in full, explaining his disgust with the treachery and immorality of humanity, his intent to restore the world to dragon rule, and that the defeat of the dragons in [[the Scouring]] was a mistake he intended to correct as soon as possible. Roy rejected his claims, pointing out that the rule of dragons would differ little from the rule of mankind, and that he, with his faith in mankind, refused to give in to one with no faith in his people or in himself. The two then duelled and Zephiel was slain.

==Personality and character==
==Personality==
In his youth, Zephiel was a kind and wise individual. He was devoted to his younger half-sister, and of all the trials Desmond placed before him it was only the difficulty seeing her which frustrated him; he didn't even mind upon Desmond's denial of his succession of the throne in favour of Guinivere's hypothetical future husband.<ref>{{Cite|But Zephiel held strong. He always said he never cared about inheriting the throne. But the people of Bern knew of Zephiel's genius and wanted him king.|[[Guinivere]]|The Binding Blade}}</ref> In the face of the turmoil facing his family, his sole wish was for his family to overcome the bitterness and hatred, and come together to live in happiness.<ref>{{Cite|......Hear me: Tomorrow, I will be a man...

The final confrontation with Zephiel varies somewhat compared to the source material: in the battle, Zephiel instead wielded both Eckesachs and Binding Blade, both of the weapons of his ancestor [[Hartmut]]. Using the Binding Blade, he re-sealed [[Al]], which functioned as enough of a distraction to allow Roy to seize the Binding Blade and use it against Zephiel himself, killing him.

* In ''The Binding Blade'', Zephiel's battle sprite was designed only with [[Eckesachs]] in mind, so if he fights using any other weapon in the [[Trial Map]] mode, it will always play the full transforming Eckesachs animation.
*In ''The Binding Blade'', Zephiel's battle sprite was designed only with [[Eckesachs]] in mind, so if he fights using any other weapon in the [[Trial Map]] mode, it will always play the full transforming Eckesachs animation. Similarly, he will always hold the Staff-form of Eckesachs, even if he has no weapon equipped.

Jealousy. Hatred. Greed. Friends and family are driven to murder one another by these petty emotions. Such emotions spawn fathers who would even kill their own brood. As long as humans control, as long as humans dictate, as long as humans exist, this madness will never end.
— Zephiel, to Roy

Zephiel (Japanese: ゼフィール Zefhyr), is the main antagonist of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. He was the King of Bern, the son of the late King Desmond and his estranged wife Hellene, and the half-brother of Princess Guinivere. As a child, his jealous father sought to assassinate him by hiring the Black Fang, then later almost killed him personally, with Zephiel surviving barely only through the care of his most loyal attendant, General Murdock. These experiences deeply embittered Zephiel, convincing him of the weakness and monstrosity inherent in humanity and the need to end humanity's grip on Elibe. This led him to unseal and awaken the Demon Dragon Idunn and, in alliance with Jahn, engage the rest of Elibe in a full-scale war, the Disturbance of Bern, with the intent of wiping out humanity and restoring Elibe to the rule of dragons.

Biography

Youth

Zephiel's great talent even in his youth embittered Desmond from the very beginning, and since becoming estranged from Hellene, Desmond sought to invalidate Zephiel's claim to the throne of Bern by any means necessary. First, he arranged for the Fire Emblem to be stolen by the Black Fang and kept hidden for ten days, as the item would be crucial to Zephiel's impending coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time he made a second request to Sonia,[4] which was later revealed to be an assassination attempt on Zephiel himself.[5] On the day Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn came to the Bern palace to investigate the disappearance of the Emblem, Zephiel and Murdock had also come to the palace on a visit to Guinivere, having heard she was ill, and presented her with a pet baby fox he caught on a hunt. There, he encountered his father, and attempted to be courteous and kind in the face of Desmond's thinly-veiled contempt. At Desmond's "request", Zephiel departed to return to his mother's manse.

The Emblem was retrieved from the Black Fang by Eliwood's company, but Zephiel's manse was invaded by Jaffar and Nino on the night before his coming-of-age ceremony. He gave a prayer hoping for his family to become happy and untroubled again, and shortly after was assaulted by Jaffar, who stunned him; however, moved by his prayer, Nino refused to go through with killing Zephiel, and the two fled. Zephiel woke up some time later to find the manse invaded by a larger Black Fang force intending to finish the job, with the turncoat Jaffar as his only protection. Meanwhile, Eliwood and Hector's band worked its way through the manse to come to his aid; though initially skeptical of their honesty and their refusal to identify themselves, he nonetheless trusted them with assisting him, believing that he would already be dead were they assassins.

Attempted assassination

Some time afterward, Desmond made the announcement that the heir to Bern's throne would be Guinivere's eventual husband. Zephiel didn't mind at all, but the people of Bern – hopeful in the light of Zephiel's undeniable talent and wisdom – were outraged at the news and put much pressure on Desmond. In response, he personally attempted to kill Zephiel by, at a banquet, handing him a spiked drink. This nearly killed Zephiel, saved only by the care of Murdock.

Upon recovering, Zephiel learned of Desmond's intentions to have his mother and Murdock branded as traitors and murdered, and in response Zephiel faked his own death with Murdock's assistance. A false funeral was arranged, and when Desmond came to observe his dead son, Zephiel rose from the casket and, sword in hand, slew Desmond. These events were related many years later to Roy by Guinivere, as the Etrurian army prepared to enter Bern and end the war; Guinivere commented that, though as a child she could not fully grasp was what going on beyond her father's death, she did notice a distinct shift in Zephiel himself, and that he never smiled again.[6]

Adulthood and the Disturbance of Bern

An adult Zephiel is visited by Jahn

Fifteen years after Nergal's defeat, Zephiel travelled to the Dragon Sanctuary and used the Fire Emblem to unlock the seal, releasing Idunn. Shortly thereafter, he was visited by a projection of Jahn, who asked him why he had freed Idunn; in response, Zephiel declared his intent to give the world back to dragons.

At the onset of the Disturbance of Bern, after Narcian and Brunnya successfully subdued the leaders of the Lycian League at Araphen, Zephiel arrived and had their wounded leader, Hector, brought before him. Hector attempted to ask him why he had launched the war in light of the friendship between their nations, a notion dismissed by Zephiel as a triviality in the face of his goal to liberate the world by placing it under his sole rule. Brunnya then informed him of her intent to return to Sacae, but first questioned his work with Idunn, a figure subject to suspicion and superstition among the Bern forces; Zephiel dismissed her concerns by stating that one with her level of faith in him should follow his path without question, then expressed some amusement with his dramatic approach to her concerns after the fact.

Later, Zephiel arrived at the site of a siege of a Missur castle led by Narcian and Flaer. Etruria's General Cecilia, leader of the Loyalists' rebellion against the Etrurian coup d'etat, was its occupant, resisting the Bern forces in their efforts to seize the castle and protecting Guinivere. In the face of the Bern army's failure to seize the castle, Zephiel chose to personally give Cecilia the "honor" of fighting him in a one-on-one duel, easily defeating and severely wounding her. With Cecilia's defeat, Bern's forces moved in and occupied the castle, and Guinivere was brought before Zephiel. Guinivere tried to reason with Zephiel, who in response explained his motives to free the world from the destructive nature of man and attempted to justify the slaughter of countless innocents his process entailed. Zephiel ordered Melady to escort Guinivere back to Bern and to ensure that the Fire Emblem she carried was returned to the Shrine of Seals, and after telling Narcian to send some of his forces into the Nabata Desert to find the rumored hidden dragon village, he departed.

Zephiel's final duel with Roy

Eventually, the Etrurian army under General Roy arrived at Bern Keep, and Zephiel received the news of Murdock's death. Zephiel tasked Brunnya with taking Idunn and fleeing Bern Keep, lest they lose Idunn and the entire war be rendered pointless; he also instructed Idunn to continue their work in the event of his death. Roy's army soon worked its way into the throne room, unlocked by two switches and the Fire Emblem, and Roy himself confronted Zephiel.

Zephiel again explained his motivation in full, explaining his disgust with the treachery and immorality of humanity, his intent to restore the world to dragon rule, and that the defeat of the dragons in the Scouring was a mistake he intended to correct as soon as possible. Roy rejected his claims, pointing out that the rule of dragons would differ little from the rule of mankind, and that he, with his faith in mankind, refused to give in to one with no faith in his people or in himself. The two then duelled and Zephiel was slain.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Zephiel is the boss of Chapter 22, and thus the final boss of The Binding Blade in its bad ending. He also appears in Chapter 13, where he defeats Cecilia and leaves after a few turns; under normal circumstances, Zephiel cannot be fought by the player's army in this chapter.

Zephiel is also available as a bonus playable character in the Trial Map mode, unlocked by clearing the game seven times.

Personality

In his youth, Zephiel was a kind and wise individual. He was devoted to his younger half-sister, and of all the trials Desmond placed before him it was only the difficulty seeing her which frustrated him; he didn't even mind upon Desmond's denial of his succession of the throne in favour of Guinivere's hypothetical future husband.[8] In the face of the turmoil facing his family, his sole wish was for his family to overcome the bitterness and hatred, and come together to live in happiness.[9] He was highly talented, excelling at all pursuits to which he tried his hand, as a warrior, a politician and a scholar.[10] As a result, he quickly won over the love of the people of Bern; many figures of Bern's army also came to deeply trust him and see him as Bern's sole hope for the future, including Murdock, Brunnya[11] and Vaida.[12][13] It was these talents which embittered and evoked jealousy in the rather average Desmond, spurring him to hire the Black Fang to murder his own son[14], and yet ironically, Zephiel was determined to try harder to attempt to meet what he perceived to be the lofty expectations of his father.[15]

However, ultimately his dealings with his envious and bitter father would come to shape Zephiel's personality for the worse, sparked by his father's second attempt on his life. Following his killing of his father, he quickly descended into a state of grimness, never smiling again.[16] He developed a strong misanthropic worldview, influenced by his father's attitude, believing that humans were inherently evil and devoted to causing misery in others, and that the world would only continue to suffer under the control of mankind.[17] He also developed the belief that the loss of the dragons in the Scouring was bad for the world because of mankind's flaws,[18] and that a world under dragon rule would be a better world.[19] To this end, he initiated the Disturbance of Bern to free the world from humans, during which he expressed no interest in the endless torrent of lives taken in his war effort, including those of prisoners and the innocent, citing them all as necessary sacrifices to the greater good[20] and claiming that because of human greed there is no such thing as an "innocent" person.[21]

Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi

Zephiel, wielding both the Eckesachs and Binding Blade.

This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


The final confrontation with Zephiel varies somewhat compared to the source material: in the battle, Zephiel instead wielded both Eckesachs and Binding Blade, both of the weapons of his ancestor Hartmut. Using the Binding Blade, he re-sealed Al, which functioned as enough of a distraction to allow Roy to seize the Binding Blade and use it against Zephiel himself, killing him.

Zephiel's official artwork from The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade, the latter of which depicting him with Guinivere, can be viewed in Path of Radiance's extras menu if a copy of The Binding Blade or The Blazing Blade is connected to a copy of Path of Radiance, respectively. Zephiel's The Binding Blade illustration, along with all other The Binding Blade-related artwork, is inaccessible in the international versions of the game, owing to the fact that The Binding Blade was not released in those regions.

Bern, the eastern kingdom of Elibe, is a mighty military nation with a great many wyvern knights under its command. Standing at the peak of power and prestige in Bern is none other than its king: Zephiel! Zephiel was born the heir to the previous king, Desmond. He was shrewd and clever from an early age, and he was a kind big brother to his sister, Guinivere. However, once Zephiel took the throne, he seemed to transform into someone completely different. Taking the royal sword Eckesachs in hand, he used strange draconic powers to invade Bern's neighboring countries! I don't know why Zephiel changed the way that he did, but I suspect that he'd been keeping this ambition of his a secret for a long time. Do you think maybe one day he'll go back to being the kind soul he used to be?

Trivia

  • In The Binding Blade, Zephiel's battle sprite was designed only with Eckesachs in mind, so if he fights using any other weapon in the Trial Map mode, it will always play the full transforming Eckesachs animation. Similarly, he will always hold the Staff-form of Eckesachs, even if he has no weapon equipped.
  • Zephiel's growth rates go unused in The Binding Blade due to units not being able to gain experience in Trial Maps.

Zephiel

From Ζέφυρος Zephyros, the Greek god of the west wind and one of the Anemoi, a group of four Greek wind gods each associated with a cardinal direction; his name is commonly rendered as "Zephyr".[22] The "Zephiel" rendering of the name may be invoking the Hebrew suffix גַּ el, "of God", a common component of names of Biblical origin such as "Ariel" and "Gabriel".

  4. "Desmond: And what of my other request?
    Sonia: One of the Four Fangs will tend to it. There will be no mistakes. However, General Murdock, the man protecting the prince... He is young, yet well respected. Shall we finish him, too?
    " — Desmond and Sonia, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  5. "Sonia: You heard the king's request, did you not?
    Jaffar: Prince Zephiel... He wants him assassinated.
    Nino: What? The prince? The king wants to kill the prince?
    " — Sonia, Jaffar, and Nino, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  6. "Roy: You said King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil in everything he did... It sounds like he would have been an ideal heir to the throne.
    Guinivere: Yes, I have no doubt.
    Roy: But still your father never looked kindly at him.
    Guinivere: In truth...our father began to despise Zephiel precisely because of his talent.
    Roy: Why...would a father resent his own son's talent...?
    Guinivere: Our father was a man of unextraordinary skill and intellect. Zephiel's outstanding talents made our father colder towards him.
    Roy: He was envious...?
    Guinivere: He went as far as to tell Zephiel that he would never inherit Bern. He said that instead, the throne would go to my future husband.
    Roy: His own father told him that?! What a heartless man!
    Guinivere: But Zephiel held strong. He always said he never cared about inheriting the throne. But the people of Bern knew of Zephiel's genius and wanted him king. Pressured by the public, our father lost his patience at last...
    Roy: That's when he decided to kill Zephiel...?
    Guinivere: Our father gave Zephiel a goblet full of a poisoned drink at a banquet. That was the first and last time Zephiel ever accepted a drink from our father. After returning to his room, Zephiel began to fall dreadfully ill. For ten days and nights, Zephiel lingered between life and death. But Murdock, Zephiel's teacher and loyal general, saved his life.
    Roy: ...The old king made no further attempts on his life?
    Guinivere: No. At least, not to completion... I have heard that he schemed to have Murdock and Zephiel's mother killed. He was scheming to murder everyone connected to Zephiel. Upon learning of our father's intentions, Zephiel feigned death. At his funeral service, our father leaned over the coffin to view Zephiel's body. It was at that moment that Zephiel sprung from the coffin and...sword in hand...
    Roy: ......
    Guinivere: I was but a child then, so naturally I could not understand what was going on. All I knew at the time is that our father died, and Zephiel never smiled again. Before then, he was stern at times, but always a kind and loving brother. But after everything that happened...

  8. "But Zephiel held strong. He always said he never cared about inheriting the throne. But the people of Bern knew of Zephiel's genius and wanted him king." — Guinivere, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  9. "......Hear me: Tomorrow, I will be a man... So this is my last wish as a foolish child. It's the same one I've asked of you every night for all these years, but... Please, bring Father and Mother together again. Please, let the day come when Guinivere and I and her mother... When all of us can live together happily in the castle." — Zephiel, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  10. "I have heard that Zephiel is... a gifted student, a stunning fighter, excelling in all he tries." — Desmond, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  11. "Yes, my king. My life is yours." — Brunnya, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  12. "Who swore fealty to any king? Not I! The lord to whom I swore... Was not that plain man, grasping at the coattails of power, but a man born with the presence and manner of a king. Should that man take the throne, a change of fortune would sure come to Bern." — Vaida, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  13. "Yes, I will probably die. Is that what you mean to say? But Prince Zephiel’s life is worth the price. And so I will return to Bern. No matter what it takes." — Vaida, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  14. ""You heard the king's request, did you not?" "Prince Zephiel... He wants him assassinated." "What? The prince? The king wants to kill the prince?"" — Sonia, Jaffar, and Nino, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  15. "As the prince of Bern, I've tried... I've tried my best not to be an embarrassment to my father. I know I've not met with his expectations. But I will try harder. I will please him. I vow to do better. For him." — Zephiel, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
  16. "All I knew at the time is that our father died, and Zephiel never smiled again. Before then, he was stern at times, but always a kind and loving brother. But after everything that happened..." — Guinivere, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  17. "Zephiel: Humans...are filthy and despicable creatures. They flock to the promise of power like hideous, hairless sheep, and they stab trusted allies while their backs are turned. I'm certain you have witnessed such acts in your travels.
    Roy: ......
    Zephiel: Jealousy. Hatred. Greed. Friends and family are driven to murder one another by these petty emotions. Such emotions spawn fathers who would even kill their own brood. As long as humans control, as long as humans dictate, as long as humans exist, this madness will never end.
    " — Zephiel and Roy, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  18. "It was history's greatest mistake. Mankind should not have won. After the humans' ill-gotten victory, they perverted this world into an ordurous cesspool of madness and evil. All through their illogical and contemptible emotions!" — Zephiel, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  19. "Mistakes cannot be left uncorrected. I will return the world to the dragons. I will liberate it from the gnarled grasp of man. The slate will be wiped clean. History will be rewritten. It is the only way to free the world from everlasting agony!" — Zephiel, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  20. "Guinivere: But...so many people are being killed in the process.
    Zephiel: A few worthless lives are a fair trade for the change I desire.
    " — Guinivere and Zephiel, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
  21. "Guinivere: Zephiel, why? Why do you continue this war? So many innocent people have died...
    Zephiel: Innocent, you say? Pah. Jealousy, vanity, greed... Men kill because of these petty emotions all across the realm. How can you say they are innocent?
