“The beasts....the beasts wish to...CONSUME me!”
—Septimus

Septimus is an antagonist from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. He is a general of the Begnion Central Army. He is noticeably frightened by the Laguz, to the point of harboring thoughts of the other race consuming him.

Profile[]

Septimus is first seen in the prologue of Part 3 at the border fortress of Flaguerre, where he is discussing the sizes of the force that should be taken out to take out the Laguz. His aide, Silvano, is saying that they were only simply taking the rounds that day, when a soldier cries out that the "sub-humans" had reached Flaguerre, leading Septimus to gloat that he is right. When either the Greil Mercenaries or the Gallian army reach the thickets that are near the fortress, Skrimir yells that he is the general of the army and nothing can stop him, and Septimus goes crazy and says that the Laguz would eat him and runs away, leaving Silvano to command the forces.

Septimus is prejudiced against the Laguz and afraid of them operating under the propaganda that they consume Beorc flesh, fearing that the Laguz might kill him. In the Kauku Caves, Senator and Begnion Imperial Army Commander Valtome orders him to lead the force to "collect the bodies of the Laguz Alliance" while the Laguz Alliance flees into the caves to escape the Begnion forces. Septimus and a large group of Begnion soldiers charge into the cave, not knowing that the Laguz Alliance is alive, well, and ready for combat. While Skrimir searches for an exit out of the cave, Ike leads the forces which distract the Begnion forces and take down Septimus.

Personality[]

Septimus is a paranoid and cowardly man. This fact is shown as he seamlessly panics at every aspect that involves the Laguz, whether it's having to face one head-on or hearing the roaring taunts of them from miles away. His fear of the Laguz tribe is so extreme that it causes him to believe that they're nothing but hungry, feral beasts that are out to feast upon his flesh. Upon engaging a Beorc, he tends to berate his enemy and is relieved that the goddess has blessed him with an easy victory.
