Radiant Dawn (ファイアーエムブレム 暁の女神) is the tenth Fire Emblem game officially released on February 22, 2007 in Japan, North America on November 5, 2007, in Europe on March 14, 2008, and in Australia on April 10, 2008 on the Wii. The story picks up after a three-year timeskip of the events of Path of Radiance, and we see Zihark once again play a role in the story starting with Part 1.





Zihark's role in Radiant Dawn is particularly subtle, but thematically central in the story's focus on warring idealogies, armies, and countries.

Trivia

Unused Supports: It seems the developers were originally going to include full length support conversations (like the ones in Path of Radiance) instead of the watered down ones that you see now. One major difference is that only data for A-rank supports exists, so the developers may have intended to utilize the current "everybody supports" system, but have special conversations for certain pairs when they reach the A-level support. As found on tcrf, Zihark's unused supports are:
    • Brom, Ilyana, Ike, Jill, Rhys, Kyza, Ranulf, Lyre, Meg, Mordeai, Muarim, Nephenee, Lethe, Tauroneo

  • Many of these unused supports makes sense given his ties with Daein forces, the Laguz army, and who he supported with and/or was recruited closely to in PoR- but Rhys is an odd one out, and we can only wonder what their conversation would be about.

    Script
    Radiant Dawn
    The Lost Heir (1-5)

    ▶ Before Battle
    Tauroneo: Hmph!
    Zihark: Impressive as ever, General Tauroneo. However, we can't hold out forever. We are seriously outnumbered.
    Zihark: It's time we put these vermin in their place. Are you ready, Jill?
    Jill: Just give the word!
    Zihark: All right then, let's get 'em!

    ▶ Sothe talks to Zihark
    Sothe: Need a hand?
    Zihark: Sothe? Where did you come from? What are you doing here?
    Sothe: Hello, Zihark. I see you’re fighting Begnion soldiers. I assume you’re siding with Daein here?
    Zihark: That’s right. This is my homeland. These are my people.
    Sothe: Oh, really? I didn’t know you were from Daein.
    Zihark: Yep, I’m a Daein, through and through.
    Sothe: All that time we fought together, and I never knew.
    Zihark: That’s because I never told you. At any rate, let’s rejoin the fight. We can talk later.
    Sothe: Ah, yes…

    ▶ Ilyana talks to Zihark
    Ilyana: Ah…
    Zihark: Ilyana! It’s been a while.
    Ilyana: Too long, Zihark…
    Zihark: So you remember my name!
    Ilyana: How could I forget you, Zihark? Why, I think of you often! You treated me to food…glorious food… On 23 separate occasions! But who’s counting?
    Zihark: Apparently, you are. And now, might I request something in return?
    Ilyana: Well, um, yes. What exactly did you have in mind?
    Zihark: For you, something sweet! You join our merry band, and together, we fight for Daein’s freedom. I’m counting on you, my dear. You wouldn’t want to disappoint me, would you?
    Ilyana: …Ah…er… What?

    A Gathering Hope (1-7)

    ▶ (Base Conversation) Zihark & Meg
    Meg: H-hello...
    Zihark: Oh, hello there.
    Meg: H-h-hello.
    Zihark: Yes... hello. Now that we have that established, what can I do for you?
    Meg: Um... Uh... I... I'm... Meg.
    Zihark: Yes, I know. It's nice to meet you, Meg. That's a very nice name.
    Meg: And, uh... I'm from Crimea.
    Zihark: Yep, I'm one step ahead of you! Heard that too. You're far away from home now, aren't you? Quite an independent girl, eh?
    Meg: Um, and, my village... It's called Ohma.
    Zihark: Oh! You're from Ohma? Now that's something I did not know.
    Meg: Yes.
    Zihark: Then you must know Brom... Hold on a second... You look exactly like him. Are you two related?
    Meg: We sure are! I'm his daughter. His... youngest daughter.
    Zihark: Oh, I've heard stories! He loves to tell stories about his kids. He said that you could lift a full-grown cow! It's nice to meet the person I've heard so much about! How is Brom? Doing well?
    Meg: Yes! Yes, he is! He works ALL the time. I do wish he would slow down...
    Zihark
    Ah, yes. Well, it's good to hear he's staying busy. Brom, huh? Wow, brings back memories... Well, if you're his daughter, I'll do whatever I can to help you. You said you were looking for somebody? who is this person?
    Meg
    Well... He's my... He's my fiance.
    Zihark: How could any guy leave a girl like you? What's this lucky guy's name? What's he like?
    Meg: Well... he's standing right in front of me.
    Zihark: I'm sorry, I'm sure I misheard you. Can you repeat that? ...Slowly?
    Meg: My daddy told us years ago that he was going to marry one of us to a really nice friend of his, a mercenary named Zihark.
    Zihark:Whoa, hey now... I don't, uh...
    Meg: But my older sister got married last year, and so I came instead! Oh, it's so nice to finally meet my husband!
    Zihark: Meg, look, this is kind of crazy...
    Meg: Zihark... I'm sure I still have a lot to learn... But after meeting you, I just know we'll live happily ever after!
    Zihark: Meg, I need you to listen very closely...
    Meg: Oh, don't worry! I'll work hard every waking moment to become a good wife! Even during a fight! See you later, pookums!
    Zihark: Meg, wait! Wow, she's downright pushy. She must get that from her old man. ...And did she just call me "pookums"?

    ▶ (Battle) When Tormod & Co Arrive
    Zihark: Time for the trusty hero to save the day, I see. Still quite the showman, eh, Tormod?

    ▶ Zihark talks to Muarim
    Zihark: Muarim!
    Muarim: Zihark, has it been three years?
    Zihark: First Cremia, now Daein, never a dull day! Still, it's good to fight with you again.
    Muarim: You can say that again.
    Zihark: OK, it's good to fight with you again.
    Muarim: Beorc humor is so... odd. But you know I feel the same.

    ▶ Zihark talks to Tormod
    Zihark: Hey there, Tormod. You’re looking well.
    Tormod: So you’re here too, eh, Zihark?
    Zihark: Polished your mage skills over the last few years, I see.
    Tormod: But of course! I’ll toast anyone who dares oppose me!
    Zihark: Really? Well then, why don’t you take on the rest of the guards while I sit back and take a break?
    Tormod: You know what I mean! Get back here and fight like you mean it! Zihark!

    A Reason to Fight (3-6)

    ▶ Lethe Attacks Zihark
    Zihark: Lethe?
    Lethe: Zihark! So, you also side with the enemy?
    Zihark: Lethe, please surrender. Our commander doesn't want any more killing.
    Lethe: Surrender? Even you could not convince me to surrender. You know that, Zihark.
    Zihark: Lethe, please!
    Lethe: Enough! We are enemies. The only thing left for us is this fight!
    Zihark: How did it come to this...
    (Lethe attacks, but Zihark doesn't)

    ▶ Mordecai Attacks Zihark
    Mordecai: Ah! Zee... Eehark! Hm... Sorry, Mordecai not say your name right. Not yet.
    Zihark: What am I doing here? This isn't right. Tell me this is all a bad dream...
    Mordecai: Oh, it's good to see... Zee-haark? Why are you sad?
    Zihark: Mordecai... I'm so sorry...
    (Mordecai attacks, but Zihark doesn't)

    ▶Lethe talks to Zihark (also recruit talk in 3-7 & 3-E)
    Lethe: Zihark!
    Zihark: Lethe...
    Lethe: You defeated me last time, but this time it'll be different. Prepare yourself!
    Zihark: You won't surrender?
    Lethe: I am a soldier. I will fight to my death.
    Zihark: ... I knew you'd say that. Then I'm coming with you. I'm at your service, Lethe. Just like old times, yeah?
    Lethe: What?! Why?
    Zihark: The Daein soldiers call this war "the sub-human hunt." You know I hate that word. I believed that Daein would change. Or at least I used to. But now... I just can't stand by. This war is the last straw. I can't fight for Daein anymore.
    Lethe: ... You may not have claws, but I think your soul is more laguz than beorc. Welcome to our tribe, Zihark.

    ▶ Mordecai talks to Zihark (also recruit talk in 3-7 & 3-E)
    Mordecai: You, I know...
    Zihark: Mordecai... I never expected us to meet like this, on opposite sides...
    Mordecai: Ah! Zee... eehark! Hm... No, that not it. Sorry, Mordecai says your name not right. Not right yet.
    Zihark: But...
    Mordecai: Zeehork? Zeeehar-ack? Zi...hark? Ahh! That is good! Zi-hark!
    Zihark: Mordecai... Don't you understand? We're now--
    Mordecai: I know. Mordecai is your friend. Allies we are. It does not matter who we fight for.
    Zihark: But--
    Mordecai: You have no fang or tail, but you are a beast brother, Zee-hark! Hmm... No. Mordecai forgets again. Sorry.
    Zihark: Hey, don't worry about it. I've got it! I'll go with you. That way, you'll get my name right in no time.
    Mordecai: Ah! Good idea! Mordecai likes this idea.

    ▶ Zihark defeated
    Zihark: The Greil Mercenaries... They really are here. There's no way we can win this. Sorry guys. I'm turning back for now. I really suggest you all retreat as well.
    (Zihark retreats)

    Rivals Collide (3-7)

    ▶ Battle Default
    Zihark: Please surrender now. I don't want to kill you needlessly.

    ▶ With Janaff/Ulki/Ranulf
    Zihark: I use my sword for Daein... But am I really fighting for Daein here? What am I doing...

    ▶ With Greil Mercenaries
    Zihark: I'm sorry. I didn't want us to meet again like this. Forgive me.

    ▶ With Kyza/Lyre
    Zihark: What am I doing? Why am I helping these bigots in their hunt for laguz?

    ▶ With Ike
    Zihark: Ike...
    Ike: It's been a while, Zihark. So, you're with Daein?
    Zihark: Yep. This is weird, Ike. I never thought we'd meet again as enemies...
    Ike: It's the nature of being a mercenary. No hard feelings, Zihark. Any chance you could convince the Daein army to retreat?
    Zihark: I wish. It's too complicated right now. Too many politicians playing around.
    Ike: I see... I'm not much for politics. All I do is live by my principles, my sword, and my friends. What can I say? I won't change who I am, even if it means fighting you.
    Zihark: That's fine by me. You're still the man I knew from the Mad King's War. It's about time I also threw away my doubts...

    ▶ With Ilyana
    Ilyana: Hello, Sir Zihark.
    Zihark: Ilyana... You're on their side, too?
    Ilyana: And you stand with the enemy...
    Zihark: I don't know why, but it feels like you've been in my life longer than the others. I couldn't handle it if you got hurt. Ilyana, please pull back before something awful happens. I beg of you.
    Ilyana: Oh, Zihark...

    ▶ Defeated
    Zihark: The Greil Mercenaries... They really are here. There's no way we can win this. Sorry, guys. I'm turning back for now. I really suggest you all retreat as well.

    Brom talks to Zihark (also recruitment in 3-E)
    Brom: Huh? Well, hey there, Zihark! Long time no see!
    Zihark: Brom…
    Brom: Ah, it sure is great to see ya! You’re looking mighty fine. Seem a bit sad, though.
    Zihark: Oh, I’m all right, Brom. How’s the family?
    Brom: Oh, they’re doin’ great. We had ourselves some troubles, but Queen Elincia took care of it. Ah, speakin’ of my family! About your engagement to one of my daughters… Have you given it any extra thought? All my daughters are eager to marry. Just say the word, now!
    Zihark: What? All of your daughters? You told all of your daughters about me?
    Brom: Ah, they’re all such dears! I can’t favor one over the others, can I? So, what do you say? My second daughter is startin’ to look a lot like me! Nice, soft cheeks.
    Zihark: Um, well, I thought I was pretty clear on this the last time we went over it…
    Brom: She left for Daein to see you. Have you run into her yet? Her name’s Meg. Nice girl. She looks a lot like me.
    Zihark: You haven’t changed at all, Brom. You’re still the same good man that I remember from three years ago. I’m really glad I ran into you, Brom. Now I remember what I was fighting for back then. And now I know what I have to do.
    Brom: Hm? What’re you goin’ on about, son?
    Zihark: I’m leaving the Daein army. My friends in Daein are dear to me, but I refuse to turn my sword against the laguz any longer.
    (Zihark Joins)

    ▶ Ilyana talks to Zihark (with A Support from PoR)
    Ilyana: Sir Zihark. It's not too late. Let's not fight.
    Zihark: I can't do that... Daein has just freed itself. I can't betray it now.
    Ilyana: Even if you have been ordered by Daein to hunt down laguz?
    Zihark: I-I just...
    Ilyana: But this isn't you! When I met you, you were so nice, and you never doubted yourself or your friends. You even risked your own life to fight on behalf of the laguz. And now you're throwing it all away...
    Zihark: ... Ilyana.
    Ilyana: Yes?
    Zihark: Thank you. You've opened my eyes.
    Ilyana: Pardon?
    Zihark: I will leave the Daein army. My friends in Daein are dear to me, but I refuse to take part in any "hunt," or lie to myself any longer.
    Ilyana: Oh, Zihark, I'm so glad...
    (Zihark joins)

    ▶ Zihark approaches Micaiah
    Micaiah: Zihark...
    Zihark: As you can see, I'm with the Laguz Alliance now. I can't lie to myself anymore, Micaiah. I'm sorry.
    Micaiah: I see...
    Zihark: Tell me, Micaiah. Why did Daein become an enemy of the laguz? Daein has a new king now. Why can't it escape the grip of Begnion?!
    Micaiah: I don't know, Zihark. I wish I did. I'm sorry...
    Zihark: No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I know this isn't your fault. It's just that... now I wonder if the time I've spent fighting to liberate Daein was well spent. It makes me sad.
    Micaiah: Will you cut me down?
    Zihark: That depends on you, Micaiah. Will you try to kill me?
    Micaiah: You are an enemy of Daein now. But... I... How could I? How could I possibly kill you?
    Zihark: I feel the same way. I couldn't possibly hurt you. However, fighting laguz is something I will not do for anyone. Where do we go from here?
    Micaiah: I... I don't know...

    ▶ Zihark talks to Meg
    Zihark: Meg.
    Meg: Sir Zihark? Wh-what's wrong? What's going on?
    Zihark: I'm sorry, but I'm joining up with the alliance. I don't want to betray you, but I can't fight for Daein any longer.
    Meg: No! Wh-what are you saying?
    Zihark: I know this is a horrible thing for me to say, but listen. Please leave the battlefield. I don't want to see you get hurt.
    Meg: Sir Zihark! But... you can't leave me here alone!
    Zihark: I wanted to tell you that. I have to go. I'm so sorry, Meg...
    Meg: Sir... Zihark...
    (Valley Chapter) (3-??): Battle

    ▶ Zihark vs Kieran
    Kieran: Zihark! What are you doing in the Daein army?!
    Zihark: I couldn't abandon the people of my homeland.
    Kieran: You are originally from Daein?
    Zihark: That's right. I want to protect my country, just like you want to protect yours. That's why I fight for the Daein army.
    Kieran: I am sorry to hear that... I will not go easy on you just because we know each other.
    Zihark: Thanks, Kieran. I prefer it that way.

    ▶ Zihark vs Sigrun
    Sigrun: I remember you... You used to travel with the Greil Mercenaries. Why are you fighting us?
    Zihark: I couldn't abandon the people of my homeland.
    Sigrun: I see... You are from Daein. Then there is no way for us to avoid this confrontation?
    Zihark: I'm afraid not. Just like you want to protect your own country, I want to protect mine.
    Sigrun: ... I am sorry to hear that.
    Tanith: You used to fight alongside the Greil Mercenaries! You now fight for Daein? But General Ike is on our si--
    Zihark: Yes, I'm aware of that. Even so, I can't pull out of this fight.
    Tanith: Then you are the apostle's enemy! Prepare to die.
    From Pain, Awakening (3-E): Battle


    ▶ With Greil Mercenaries
    Zihark: I must not think... The enemy in front of me is the only thing I will focus on.

    ▶ With Janaff/Ulki/Ranulf
    Zihark: There's no time to dwell on our sorrow.

    ▶ With Kyza/Lyre
    Zihark: With this stroke, the last of my ideals is cut down...

    ▶ Zihark vs Sothe
    Sothe: I understand. I thought that fighting against the laguz would set you off.
    Zihark: I won't make any excuses. I'm finished with the new Daein.
    Sothe: You chose principles over country and comrades. I can't blame you for that.
    Zihark: But these people are my comrades! Look around you, Sothe! These people aren't your enemies, they're your friends!
    Sothe: Let's get on with this. I'm with Daein. You're with the Laguz Alliance. There's only one thing to do when enemies meet.
    Zihark: I won't go easy on you. I respect you too much for that!

    ▶ Greil's mercenaries vs Zihark
    Zihark: I'm sorry. I didn't want us to meet again like this. Forgive me.

    ▶ Lyre or Kyza vs Zihark
    Zihark: What am I doing? Why am I helping these bigots in their hunt for laguz?

    ▶ Ranulf, Ulki or Janaff vs Zihark
    Zihark: I use my sword for Daein... But am I really fighting for Daein here? What am I doing...
    (Ranulf attacks, but Zihark doesn't)

    ▶ Ilyana vs Zihark (with bond)
    Ilyana: Hello, Sir Zihark.
    Zihark: Ilyana... You're on their side, too?
    Ilyana: And you stand with the enemy...
    Zihark: I don't know why, but it feels like you've been in my life longer than the others. I couldn't handle it if you got hurt. Ilyana, please pull back before something awful happens. I beg of you.
    Ilyana: Oh, Zihark...
    (Ilyana attacks, but Zihark doesn't)

    ▶ Zihark talks to Jill
    Zihark: Jill! Wait! Just put the axe down and tell me what's going on!
    Jill: Zihark... I've nothing to say to my enemy. I am a knight of Daein! It is my duty to kill Daein's enemies!
    Zihark: Whoa, hey now! Can we just drop the crazy act for a minute?! Why are you doing this? What's happened to Daein? All right, I see you won't be calming down anytime soon. I'll leave, then. Take care of yourself, Jill.
    Jill: Zihark... You are a good man. It's better you don't know. There's no need for you to suffer.

    ▶ Ike vs Zihark
    Zihark: Ike, I'm sorry, I... I must raise my sword against you.
    Ike: Zihark, what's going on here? Why do you sound so desperate? This isn't like you at all!
    Zihark: I'll take my secret to the grave. Besides, you know I don't like to complain. At your ready, Commander.

    ▶ Ilyana vs Zihark (with bond)
    Zihark: Ilyana, we've no time for doubts now. This mess has to finish its course. Let's get this over with.

    (Ilyana attacks, but Zihark doesn't)

    ▶ Ranulf, Janaff or Ulki vs Zihark
    Zihark: This is for Daein... This is for our survival!
    (Ranulf will attack, but Zihark will not)

    ▶ Zihark and Micaiah
    Zihark: Micaiah! Pull back your troops! We don’t want to fight you. There’s got to be a way to stop all this!
    Micaiah: I can’t, and there isn’t. We have to keep fighting. Until the last of us falls, we have no choice.
    Zihark: What’s happened to you all?! Why get yourselves into such a hopeless war? Why did you do those horrible things in the valley? I know all of this must have a reason! Please tell me… Tell me how my country lost its soul.
    Micaiah: I’ve nothing to say to you.
    Zihark: I see. No words to waste on a deserter like me, is that it? I’m sorry I wasted your time.
    Micaiah: Zihark–
    Zihark: No, please… Just know that I could never draw steel against you. Good-bye, Micaiah.
    Micaiah: I… I’m so sorry, Zihark. I can’t get you involved in this, too.

    ▶ Zihark and Pelleas
    Zihark: King Pelleas. Would you please listen to what I have to say?
    Pelleas: Zihark. What is there to talk about? You’ve deserted your country and your people.
    Zihark: I just don’t understand. I thought I knew you. You are a good, kind man. Why do you continue to fight for those bloodsucking senators?
    Pelleas: I don’t want to talk about it.
    Zihark: Your Majesty…
    Pelleas: It doesn’t concern you anymore. You’ve abandoned Daein–and us. If you want to stop us, use your sword–not words.
    Zihark: My sword and my allegiance do lie elsewhere now, it’s true. But I am not without honor. I will not draw my sword against the man I call my king, no matter what.
    Pelleas: …I’m sorry, Zihark. At least you’ll be spared from the curse of the pact.

    ▶ Zihark and Tauroneo
    Zihark: General Tauroneo! Finally, I found you! Please, tell me what happened to Daein! Why are you fighting?
    Tauroneo: There is nothing to say. We have parted ways. That is all.
    Zihark: What are you trying to hide?! Daein has now committed atrocities on par with those committed by Ashnard! I want to know why you’d continue to fight a war like this!
    Tauroneo: And I say that there is no need for you to know. Mercenary Zihark, return to your allies in the apostle’s army.
    Zihark: I will find out what’s going on here! If my country can’t save itself, then I’LL save it! But I’ll never raise my sword against you. Good-bye for now, General. I hope our next meeting goes better.
    Tauroneo: …Forgive me.

    ▶ Apostle's Army vs Zihark
    Zihark: There's no time to dwell on our sorrow.

    ▶ Zihark defeated
    Zihark: They're strong. We can't even slow them down. Sorry, I'm turning back.
    (Zihark retreats)

    ▶ Nailah and Zihark
    Nailah: Zihark... You used to fight for Micaiah.
    Zihark: Queen Nailah. Do you fight for Daein now?
    Nailah: Well, let's say I've replaced some of the deserters.
    Zihark: That's right, I'm a deserter. I don't have to defend my decision. I made the right choice.
    Nailah: Zihark, I don't care. These are beorc problems. What I'm interested in is you and your blade. Shall we get started? I remember you as a skilled swordsman. I'm excited to see your work up close.
    Zihark: I don't know if my blade can match your jaws, Queen Nailah, but I'm honored to face you. At your ready.

    ▶ Zihark vs Pelleas
    Pelleas: Zihark... I only ever wanted to help our people. I'm sorry it came to this.
    Zihark: So am I, Your Majesty. I don't understand any of this, but I do know that it has to stop.
    (Pelleas will attack, but Zihark will not)

    ▶ Zihark talks to Pelleas
    Zihark: King Pelleas. Would you please listen to what I have to say?
    Pelleas: Zihark. What is there to talk about? You've deserted your country and your people.
    Zihark: I just don't understand. I thought I knew you. You are a good, kind man. Why do you continue to fight for those bloodsucking senators?
    Pelleas: I don't want to talk about it.
    Zihark: Your Majesty...
    Pelleas: It doesn't concern you anymore. You've abandoned Daein--and us. If you want to stop us, use your sword--not words.
    Zihark: My sword and my allegiance do lie elsewhere now, it's true. But I am not without honor. I will not draw my sword against the man I call my king, no matter what.
    Pelleas: ...I'm sorry, Zihark. At least you'll be spared from the curse of the pact.

    ▶ Zihark talks to Meg
    Zihark: Meg, why are you still with the Daein army? They're in the wrong, and you know it. I know it's selfish of me to ask, but I'm pleading with you. Come with me.
    Meg: I can't... I'm sorry. I hope that this doesn't get in the way of our wedding, but I can't do that.
    Zihark: Is it because of Micaiah?
    Meg: Yes. Everybody knows that this whole war is a mess and that none of us should be fighting right now. But Lady Micaiah is fighting for her people, and I'm gonna stick with her until the very end.
    Zihark: Meg, I understand how you feel.â
    Meg: But I don't consider you my enemy! Not at all. Not ever! Please, try to understand.
    Zihark: I'm so sorry, Meg. I should be standing alongside you, but my country has lost its mind. I didn't want to hurt you, too.
    Meg: Let's hope for the fight to end soon... Then, we can be together again and get back to making wedding plans!
    Zihark: Right...
