Though it was not much of a secret after the Part 4 endgame section 4 of Radiant Dawn, Prime Minister Sephiran, Duke of Persis, was actually Lehran, creator of the medallion, the thousand year old Heron, and the father of the first Branded. He was also said to be the representative of the bird tribes to Ashera. It is theorized that Lehran had inherited Altina's dual blades, Ragnell and Alondite, after she had died. About 650 years later, Lehran, now known as Sephiran, gave both swords and a blessed suit of heavy black armor to Zelgius of the Daein army, who later became the General of the Begnion Central Army.
