Vs. Chrom
Chrom: Fiend! You invade kingdoms and bully them into submission... Why? What does it achieve? Cervantes: Do you even need ask, whelp? Emperor Walhart is destined to rule this world, plain and simple. Chrom: Yes, but to what end? Cervantes: Irrelevant! Walhart's mind is beyond the grasp of common men. Chrom: So you don't even know what you're fighting for? Cervantes: I tend to my own beard, boy. A soldier does not question orders. But he gives his loyalty—and maybe his life—in the service of greater men. Chrom: Greater men? Is living only to conquer so great an ambition? Cervantes: What could be greater! Once I had dreams myself of commanding a nation... But Walhart? Aye, he dreams bigger. He would rule the entire world! Mine is nothing compared to the moxie of the Conqueror. I am but a single tiny hair on the beard of a flea in his great mustache! Have you not tasted the thrill of being part of something bigger than yourself? Chrom: Not at the price of inflicting cruelty and suffering, no. Cervantes: Hmph. Then we have nothing more to discuss. Prepare to learn the meaning of the word "beard." ...Fear, I mean fear!

Vs. Say'ri
Cervantes: ...Eh wot?! It cannot be!Say'ri—my mortal enemy... Say'ri: General Cervantes... Your reputation—and your gut—precedes you. Cervantes: But we have met in battle before, girl! Have you forgotten?! Not long ago, you and I, locked in deadly combat. I was sure we had won the day until you appeared... Say'ri: ...Your beard again? Can you talk of nothing else, you imperial pig?! Cervantes: Ap-PEARED! I said "appeared"! Just...never mind!

Chapter 20
"Let's have it then, rebellious scum! Like a flimsy belt around the waist of defeat, you shall buckle here!"

- Cervantes's pre-battle quote "I...am finished... Nngh... But I have no regrets... I die in the shadow of...greatness..."

- Cervantes' death quote
