{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' Mortals cannot stand against gods! Don't you see the futility of what you're doing?<p></p>'''Sephiran:''' You are all so very flawed... Flaws must be corrected!<p></p>'''Sephiran:''' Can you feel your judgment, hanging in the air? Can you see that your time has come?<p></p>'''Sephiran:''' The laguz and beorc have doomed each other with their mutual hatred. You have brought extinction on yourselves!|Sephiran, as the boss of [[Rebirth (part 4)|Part 4 Endgame-4]] of {{title|Radiant Dawn}}.}}<!--I don't know what triggers the different quotes-->

{{Quote|'''Ike:''' You can try to complicate things, Sephiran, but it comes to this... You are my enemy. Nothing more, nothing less.<br>'''Sephiran:''' So be it.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Ike]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn'', if the additional scene of Ike's memory in [[Rebirth (part 2)|Part 4 Endgame (2)]] was not seen.}}

{{Quote|'''Ike:''' I have to ask, Sephiran. What are you after? What's this all about?<br>'''Sephiran:''' Why do you wish to know? You would achieve nothing by learning my reasons. You would help no one. I lost faith in lesser beings, and desire an end to them. That's all.<br>'''Ike:''' So why did you save me on that day?<br>'''Sephiran:''' May I ask you a favor, Ike? Tell me how you feel about it now. Can you bear recalling those horrific memories?<br>'''Ike:''' Yes... I'm fine, now. But I suppose at the time, I wouldn't have been able to take it.<br>'''Sephiran:''' All beings endure tragedies for as long as they continue to live. It has always been the case that suffering is unavoidable. And this grim reality plays out over and over, in every country, under every ruler... As long as there are beings who feel, they will feel pain.<br>'''Ike:''' So what? We should all just give in and die? Put it behind you. Deal with it.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Do not make light of this...<br>'''Ike:''' I'm not. Sephiran, I'm extrenely grateful that you once helped me through a terrible time. But I have accepted that occasionally we all have to deal with hard times. I've had pain, I've had suffering, and I have gotten up and moved on. I don't try to forget what happened that day. I just accept it... And neither that or anything else will ever stop me.<br>'''Sephiran:''' You are a strong man, Ike, son of Gawain. But not everyone is as strong as you...|Sephiran, when fighting Ike in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn'', if the additional scene of Ike's memory in Part 4 Endgame (2) was seen.}}

{{Quote|'''Micaiah''' You... I've heard about you. Have we...met before?<br>'''Sephiran''' The Silver-Haired Maiden. It's taken so long to finally meet you. If I had known you still lived, I.. I... No, it's too late. This changes nothing. I cannot falter.<br>'''Micaiah''' What is the matter with you?<br>'''Sephiran''' I'm just overly sensitive. Don't feign concern over me.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Micaiah]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sanaki''' ...Sephiran... Everything you've ever told me, every time you gave your hand to me, every time you smiled... They were all lies? ...You're the most appalling fraud I've ever known!<br>'''Sephiran''' No, Lady Sanaki... I've actually lied to you very little. What I have done is hold things back. I've also twisted the truth from time to time... But I have only told you one blatant falsehood. That one lie has weighed heavily on me. It makes me hate myself sometimes.<br>'''Sanaki''' Sephiran...<br>'''Sephiran''' I'll always care deeply for you, my little Lady Sanaki... You are my sun and my moon. I never wished to harm you. Please... You must understand...<br>'''Sanaki''' ...No! Sephiran, no!|Sephiran, when fighting [[Sanaki]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sothe:''' Here goes...<br>'''Sephiran:''' Hello, child... I'm a little surprised to see an ordinary boy like you, fighting for the world. This day is full of surprises!<br>'''Sothe:''' No one's more surprised than me. I can't read people's feelings like Micaiah... I'm not invincible in battle like Ike... Between all these laguz kings and great beorc heroes, I don't really belong here.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Then why are you here?<br>'''Sothe:''' Because there's one thing I can't afford to lose. Micaiah. I've come all this way just to protect her... I won't lose her now.<br>'''Sephiran:''' The depth of your feelings... Might I ask your name?<br>'''Sothe:''' Sothe. Now if you want to stand in our way, I'm prepared to cut you down.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Sothe]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' King Pelleas, correct? Aren't you brave, coming all this way!<br>'''Pelleas:''' If you're the one who's been pulling the strings behind all this, please tell me... Who... Who am I?<br>'''Sephiran:''' ...I don't know. All I know is that you are a powerful practitioner of magic... I know that you were an orphan born and raised in Daein. But that is all Izuka ever told me.<br>'''Pelleas:''' So... I'm not Ashnard's true son?<br>'''Sephiran:''' No, you're not. Ashnard's son is of dragon tribe blood and is thus Branded.<br>'''Pelleas:''' I think I'm going to be ill...<br>'''Sephiran:''' Be assured that you were essential to Daein's reconstruction, which was a vital step toward waking the goddess. Fortunately, Izuka was able to use you to execute my plan.<br>'''Pelleas:''' You are going to pay! You are going to... BLAAARRRGH!|Sephiran, when fighting [[Pelleas]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' King Naesala, it seems as if everything went well with the pact.<br>'''Naesala:''' Yes, for which I am thankful. The blood pact yoked Kilvas to your country's control... But we no longer suffer the curse for opposing the tyrannical editcs of your corrupt, bloated senators. Present company excepted, of course.<br>'''Sephiran:''' I'm quite glad to hear it.<br>'''Naesala:''' You shouldn't be. You're not like the other senators, but your insane agenda has turned my nation to stone! Freedom means nothing to a statue.<br>'''Sephiran:''' My goal was simply to save Sanaki. With your help, she is safe. The mutual benefit of your country was a happy accident, so don't feel indebted to me.<br>'''Naesala:''' So you won't object when I tear your lungs out here and now?<br>'''Sephiran:''' By all means. Be my guest.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Naesala]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Nailah:''' Who would've guessed that a madman on the other side of the desert would somehow threaten Hatari?<br>'''Sephiran:''' Hatari. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see it. The wolf tribe has survived all this time in the far corner of the world. Only the goddess could have known that.<br>'''Nailah:''' Perhaps even she didn't know it. Your goddess isn't perfect, you know. Does an imperfect goddess have the right to judge imperfect beings?<br>'''Sephiran:''' I see your point. Does the creator retain the right to destroy her creations when they are no longer what she envisioned? I imagine we could discuss this sometime... if only we had more time. I believe you alone might be able to sway my opinion on this, Lady Nailah, Queen of Wolves.<br>'''Nailah:''' You have too many opinions. I'm done talking.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Nailah]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' Hello, King Tibarn. I thought I might see you. Only the strongest reach the top. It's only natural that you would be among them.<br>'''Tibarn:''' You know what? I don't believe you're the big, bad, evil guy you want us all to think you are.<br>'''Sephiran:''' What could you be talking about?<br>'''Tibarn:''' Ah, I was right! I see it in your eyes. I've been around for a while, and learned a bit about spotting fakes. So now that your secret's out, maybe you'd like to open up and tell me: Who are you really?<br>'''Sephiran:''' ...|Sephiran, when fighting [[Tibarn]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' Duke of Tanas, imagine seeing you here!<br>'''Oliver:''' Lord Sephiran, as lovely as always. But has it come to this? Must we fight to the death, and deprive the world of one of our beautiful countenances? Can other lovers of beauty endure such a loss?<br>'''Sephiran:''' I confess that your presence has me bewildered. Could this be part of Yune's plan? I simply never would have imagined you here. Your presence proves that Tellius is unravelling at the seams. Judgement cannot come soon enough.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Oliver]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sigrun:''' Lord Sephiran, explain yourself! Your reasons for deceiving our empress may prevent me from striking you down as an enemy to the crown!<br>'''Sephiran:''' I have nothing to say to you. I am merely an obstacle. Do what you must do.<br>'''Sigrun:''' Sanaki trusted you! And so did I. You've turned your back on us, and the empire. How is that even possible?<br>'''Sephiran:''' Sigrun, do with me what you will. Promise me that you will look after Lady Sanaki from now on.<br>'''Sigrun:''' I will. I will protect her from the likes of you.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Sigrun]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Tanith:''' So as long as you're alive, the doors don't open? I've got an easy solution to that problem.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Tanith, you are a kind woman.<br>'''Tanith:''' Don't flatter yourself. I do this only for Lady Sanaki.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Tanith]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Haar:''' We never spent much time together when I was in Begnion. But, Sephiran... I think I know you pretty well.<br>'''Sephiran:''' I haven't forgotten you, Haar. Shiharam's hotshot young protege. You were both exemplary soldiers. Your defection from the Begnion dracoknights was a huge loss.<br>'''Haar:''' Hmmm... Sort of like the huge loss when the senators managed to defeat all those great changes you proposed?<br>'''Sephiran:''' ...<br>'''Haar:''' I suppose if any of those changes had happened, we wouldn't be here now. Am I wrong?<br>'''Sephiran:''' An interesting question... I'm honestly not sure, but that's all I can say about that.<br>'''Haar:''' Too bad. For you, and for me.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Haar]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Jill:''' It's your fault what happened in Daein! Every pointless death in this war is on your head! Sephiran, Duke of Persis... History will remember you as the worst kind of man.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Everything. It's all been my fault. You should know one more thing, however. I also had a hand in the death of your father.<br>'''Jill:''' ... Die, monster!|Sephiran, when fighting [[Jill]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Astrid:''' Lord Sephiran, your every action in office earned you the trust of millions of Begnion citizens. I can't believe that you could stab every one of them in the back like that.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Young lady... Actually, I should address you properly... Astrid of the Crimean Royal Knights. Did you happen to stop by your home on the way here?<br>'''Astrid:''' No, I didn't.''<br>'''Sephiran:''' Aren't you worried about your family? Perhaps you should check on them...<br>'''Astrid:''' No. Everyone's fine. Even if they're frozen solid, I'm going to save them. I have nothing at all to worry about.<br>'''Sephiran:''' You've grown stronger. But your heart hasn't changed. Good.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Astrid]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Rafiel:''' It is you... Now that I've seen your face... I know that you once went by another name.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Ýou are mistaken. I am known as Sephiran, and nothing else.<br>'''Rafiel:''' You have closed your heart. Why?<br>'''Sephiran:''' ...I have nothing more to say. Nothing...|Sephiran, when fighting [[Rafiel]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Sephiran:''' Go back to your forest, heron. You are like me, an avatar of order. You understand what I must do. Bask in the light of Ashera's judgement. It holds no fear for you!<br>'''Reyson:''' I refuse to save only myself. Such an act would be an unforgivable betrayal. I will stand by my companions, and fight to the end.<br>'''Sephiran:''' Are you sure you're of the heron tribe? I've never met a heron like you... Your will is extraordinary strong.|Sephiran, when fighting [[Reyson]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}

{{Quote|'''Leanne:''' {{ancient|You... It.. it can't be...}}<br>'''Sephiran:''' {{ancient|Go back to the forest. This is not where you should be.}}<br>'''Leanne:''' {{ancient|No! I'm staying here with everyone! These people are my friends... my family! I will not leave them!}}<br>'''Sephiran:''' Has the heron clan changed so much? They've always been so passive and accepting of their natural fate...|Sephiran, when fighting [[Leanne]] in Part 4 Endgame-4 of ''Radiant Dawn''.}}
