Endings

Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (single ending)
As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of the Sreng region. With oration alone, he succeeded in helping to create a new way of life for nobles in which Relics and Crests were no longer viewed as necessary. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, it nevertheless became customary to refer to cheaters as "sons of Gautier."

Azure Moon

Byleth, Guardian of Order & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights
After becoming the new archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced her marriage to Sylvain, heir to House Gautier. Sylvain was a valued ally who assisted his wife in her new role, both publicly and privately. He achieved a great deal, including fostering relations with Faerghus and helping to institute sweeping organizational changes within the church. Though known as a philanderer in his youth, Sylvain happily settled down after marriage. By the time he inherited the title of Margrave Gautier, he was a gentle and devoted husband. It is said that those who knew him in his youth wondered what sort of spell the archbishop had cast on him.

“	Miklan: Why have you come, you Crest-bearing fool? Sylvain: I'm here for the Lance of Ruin, Miklan. Hand it over. I don't want to humiliate you, but I will. Miklan: Hmph! Hurry up an die already. If not for you... If it hadn't been for you... Sylvain: Shut up! I'm so tired of hearing that. You've always blamed me for something that isn't my fault.	”	— Sylvain against Miklan in Chapter 5.

“	Sylvain: Hey, Felix? Remember when we were kids and we made a promise about dying together? Felix: I remember. Sylvain: Well, seems we're about to kill each other. Felix: Sorry, Sylvain. You'll die first.	”	— Sylvain, as an enemy fighting Felix in Crimson Flower Chapter 17.

“	Sylvain: Stand down, Ingrid. I know you don't want to die here. Ingrid: I will not. I'll never ally myself with the likes of you. Sylvain: Stubborn as ever. I always did like that about you. Ingrid: And you never cease to amaze me with your false flattery. Don't waste your breath.	”	— Sylvain, as an enemy fighting Ingrid in Crimson Flower Chapter 17.

“	Thief Leader: Hey, I know that face. You're the boss's little bro, right? Sylvain: I'm sorry to say it, byt yeah, I'm his brother. And he's led you into a bad spot. Anyway, your boss is dead. So this is your chance to disband this little thief gang of yours. Thief Leader: Quiet, fool! You think I have any other choice but to be a thief? Sylvain: Well, it's probably on me for making such a stupid request.	”	— Sylvain, as an enemy fighting any Thief Leader in The Forgotten.
