Thales: Difference between revisions

Thales makes his first appereance during Chapter 9, briefly protecting a disguised [[Kronya]] from [[Byleth]]'s attack as she assassinates [[Jeralt]], stating he spared her because he still requires her assistance before teleporting himself and her both away. At the start of Chapter 10, Thales alongside Kronya are seen again having a secret meeting with the [[Flame Emperor]], where he orders her subordinate to remain at [[Solon]]'s side as he requires her for an unspecified role, which Kronya gladly accepts. The Flame Emperor then spites them both in disgust and calls Thales out for his deeds in [[Tragedy of Duscur|Duscur]] and [[Insurrection of the Seven|Embarr]], warning them both that there won't be any salvation for his group. From his part, Thales ignores the Flame Emperor's warnings entirely and instead chooses to claim all of his work has been for their co-worker's sake. On the Blue Lions route, both [[Dimitri]] and Byleth end up eavesdropping their conversation, which the Flame Emperor notices and attemps to dispell by throwing a dagger at them, an action Thales considers pointless as he believes there will be always be eavesdroppers roaming around them. On Chapter 12 of non-Crimson Flower routes, Thales blasts a shot of dark magic at Byleth right after they successfully save [[Rhea]] - transformed into her Inmaculate One form - from some [[Demonic Beast]]s, throwing them off a cliff and sending them to parts unknown.

On the Silver Snow/Verdant Wind routes, Thales is confronted in Shambhala's central room by Byleth and their chosen faction, thanks to [[Hubert]] having left a letter to them post-mortem disclosing the location of "those who slither in the dark"'s lair, where he is defeated. After this, Thales activates some panels on the room's floor, triggering [[Javelin of Light|javelins of light]]s, which soon starts destroying Shambhala in one last attemp to obliterate the Agarthan's enemies. Upon seeing this, Rhea quickly transforms into The Immaculate One and manages to destroy some of the missiles while taking heavy damage, preventing the demise of Byleth and their army. Once the javelins stop falling, a shot shows Thales's lifeless body below some rubble, confirming his demise.
