Byleth, Wandering Flame (Silver Snow, single ending)
Byleth, Wandering Flame & Sothis (Silver Snow)
Byleth defeated those who slither in the dark and put down the crazed Immaculate One. In the aftermath of the loss of Fódlan's great leading figures, <he/she> ascended the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. In <his/her> heart lived the indelible hope that their efforts would one day yield an era in which the people knew true peace and the horrors of war were a hazy memory of the past.

Byleth, Ruler of Dawn & Sothis (Verdant Wind)
Together, Byleth and Claude sent the Fell King Nemesis, a foe from a bygone age, back to the flames of eternity from whence he came. Afterward, Claude left Fódlan, leaving Byleth to ascend the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. As he took his schemes and dreams and efforts to a far-off land, he hoped dearly that their joint efforts would one day allow for a world where all of humanity can coexist in peace and harmony, regardless of borders or bloodlines.

Byleth, Ruler of Dawn & Claude, King of Unification
After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth sought to rebuild the war-torn towns and villages and to help guide the reformation of the Church of Seiros. After a few months of peace, remnants of the Imperial army joined with those who slither in the dark and marched upon the capital city of Derdriu. The new kingdom lacked the power to repel the invaders, but when defeat seemed imminent, a battle cry rang out from the east. Claude, the newly-crowned King of Almyra, led a mighty army that broke through the rebel forces with ease. This show of solidarity forever altered the course of history, heralding a new age of unity.

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Ferdinand, Noblest of Nobles
After ascending to the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced her marriage to Ferdinand, who had assumed his inherited position as Duke Aegir. Ferdinand overcame a slew of obstacles to reform his territory and that of House Hrym. He chose not to accept an official position in service to Byleth, instead advising her only informally as a spouse. History books extol Ferdinand's success as a lord of his territories, but make no mention of his marriage. Thus, half of his life's work is lost to time.

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Linhardt, Sleepy Crest Scholar
After ascending to the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced <his/her> marriage to Linhardt.

Fortunes turned when Byleth discovered a document, hidden away on Linhardt's desk, which provided a ground-breaking discovery. Cast unwittingly into prominence, Linhardt was put to work in earnest. In return for his service, he demanded longer naps in the company of his spouse.

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Caspar, Roaming Instigator
After ascending to the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced her marriage to Caspar.

It is said that he got into mischief at every turn, and that his wife sometimes had to invoke her authority to defuse the situation, but that the victims of his antics always came away more amused than harmed or offended in the end. The stories of their travels were remembered fondly for generations.

Because the ones she liked performed well in their service to the people, Bernadetta was widely believed to have a discerning eye.

After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced <his/her> marriage to Dorothea.

Thanks to their efforts, in the distant future, the two lands were eventually as one.

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Felix, Meandering Blade
Byleth married Felix almost immediately after ascending the throne of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. When it came to matters of governance, Felix often took on duties that would have required his wife to dirty her hands and thus came to be called The Royal Sword.

Thereafter, history only provides unconfirmed reports of a pair of traveling mercenaries who possessed unmatched strength and skill.
