Soren: Shrewd Strategist

At the castle

Hmm. My name? I am the mage Soren. Now, I have a question for you. Is Ike here?
— When summoned.
The Order of Heroes doesn't fight for money—or even merely for honor. Only to save people. Very odd. I can't even begin to relate to that kind of thinking.

If your tactics fail, it's us that fall on the battlefield. Not you. So please ask if you need tactical advice.
— At the castle.
Not that's it's anyone's business, but in my world, I'm among those called the Branded. That means I was condemned more or less at birth to be hated and shunned. So, there it is.
— At the castle.
I've been scouring the history books of this world. Oh, I have scant interest in history itself. I am only searching for any information that will prove useful to guide our tactics here.
— At the castle.
I've come to deliver greetings from <friend>. Now I'll be on my way.

Level 40 quote

...and yes, that concludes my analysis of the abilities of Heroes from other worlds. As you can now fully understand, they would make dangerous foes if they weren't our allies. And furthermore... Excuse me? I sense your attention drifting away, <player>. For goodness sake, you are sometimes so vexing to me that I can hardly—Oh, never mind. But you shouldn't get the wrong idea. I don't care a whit about anything but getting back home. Being here is only temporary for me. Oh, you wonder why I haven't left of my own accord then?! It's because you... you... I mean, it's because staying lets me sneak into other worlds and learn our enemies' secrets. That's useful to me. But if I can continue to be useful to you...? Then I am happy to say that we can consider it mutually beneficial.

Level 40 quote

When we first met, I had some objections to your tactical decisions. It seemed to me you directed your troops to move in ways that they couldn't possibly comprehend. The results proved me wrong, however. It's like you could see the battlefield from on high... Since then, I've kept a close watch on your decisions. You've given me plenty of food for thought. I am grateful for the chance you gave me to improve myself. Meeting you has proven valuable. Since it's the Day of Devotion... I felt like I should at least make the effort to express my gratitude to you. That's it.

Level 40 quote

I probably don't need to reiterate this, but just in case you need a reminder... We are not friends. I'm sure that doesn't trouble you terribly much. I've noticed you have no shortage of allies. Personally, I have no need for that. My loyalty lies with only one person. He is why I cooperate with you. For whatever it's worth, I do find you curious. Many seem to adore you, even though you use them as pawns. I wonder if that is the result of some kind of power. And if so, what I might learn by studying you. So, for the time being, consider us to be...close acquaintances. I will look forward to working more with you.

That said, for as long as Ike continues to find your cause worthy... You will have my full support. I give you my word on that.
