Sothe (disambiguation)
Sothe (サザ, Saza) is a character from the Fire Emblem series, particularly Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
In the Fire Emblem games, he is classified as a thief/rogue/whisper, meaning he has particularly good luck and speed. In Radiant Dawn, he is the strongest character in the group that is trying to free Daein. In Path of Radiance, Sothe appears as an orphaned stowaway seeking a lost companion (who is revealed to be Micaiah in Radiant Dawn). After the Mad King's War, Sothe returned to Daein's capital of Nevassa and found Micaiah.
In Radiant Dawn Sothe is a very unique character in many ways. First, every chapter you control him up till the Final chapters of the game he is a game loss character without being a Lord. Second his stats are directly transferred from a Path of Radiance save file if you used one to start your game file. Using the strongest stats between his default stats, and what you had for him at the end of Path of Radiance. The other characters just get a slight bonus if you managed to max out any stat in the previous game. Next he is the only character with a special ending with Micaiah (they get married, this ending is easy to get considering he starts with an A Ranked support with her). He is one of four characters (three in the English version) with a specialized Promotion point in the game. Of those four characters two of them are the game's "Lords" Ike and Micaiah, making him and Mist, Ike's Sister, unique from the other regular units. Sothe promotes at the end of the Part 4 Prolouge, and Mist promotes using a Holy Crown (this is not needed in the English game as she can be leveled up to promote, but you're still given a Holy Crown anyway).
In Super Smash Brothers Brawl
He appears as a sticker and a trophy. It is not yet known what effects his sticker gives you, and there are no special requirements for obtaining his trophy.
