Three years later, in Radiant Dawn, the presumed-to-be-dead Black Knight resurfaces in the fight for Daein's liberation from Begnion as an ally to the Daein freedom fighter Micaiah. Meanwhile, under his Zelgius identity, he leads a Begnion battalion to reinforce Ike's war effort against Daein in the latter days of the war and is tasked with occupying Daein after its capture, instead of fighting alongside Ike in any of his battles. Near the end of the game, Ike and the Black Knight face each other at Nados Castle, with Ike now wielding Ragnell Ike emerges triumphant, and as he escapes the castle crumbles behind him, leaving him to presume that the Black Knight has died. From this point, Ike's quest for vengeance against the Black Knight is one of his biggest motivations throughout the war, but whenever they meet, Ike is unable to harm him at all with his ordinary swords. He kills the aging and crippled Greil far more easily than he expected, right in front of Ike, and flees the scene when Caineghis interrupts them he leaves behind Ragnell, the counterpart to Alondite, which the Black Knight had unsuccessfully attempted to goad Greil into using. The Black Knight first appears early in Path of Radiance at the outbreak of the Mad King's War, when he challenges Ike's father and his own former mentor, Greil, to a duel in order to retrieve Lehran's Medallion. Both identities are regarded as immensely strong and talented warriors, and as the Black Knight, he also wields a variety of mysterious magical artifacts, including blessed armor that repels weapons that are not blessed themselves warp powder that allows him to instantly travel anywhere, at the cost of exhausting him and the divine sword Alondite. General Zelgius lives a dual life: under his true identity, he is revered as the most esteemed and honorable general of the Begnion Empire and is a vassal of Prime Minister Sephiran and as the Black Knight, he is a mysterious servant of the Kingdom of Daein whose true identity is unknown even to its king, Ashnard.
