Petrine

"Listen up, dogs! There will be no retreating today! We stop Crimea's advance here! We will not allow them to gain the comforts of their homeland! Any who do not fight to the death will face my lance!"

- Petrine

Petrine (プラハ Puraha, Prague in Japanese version) is a character in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. She was one of Daein's Four Riders during the Mad King's War. She appears early in the story but doesn't appear as a boss until Chapter 23: The Great Bridge in Path of Radiance, where she is killed during the battle at Riven Bridge. Her subordinates in the Daein Army were Ena, Shiharam, Homasa, and Kayachey; all of whom other than Ena were killed trying to prevent Ike and his army from entering and conquering Daein.

It is also revealed in her battle conversation with Soren that she is a Branded when she sees his mark of the Branded. She wields the Flame Lance, which is special for using Magic for attack power instead of Strength. She can be used in the Trial Maps if you beat the game 7 times. In the game, she is very racist towards Laguz, calling them half-breeds. This could be because of her identity as a Branded, as it is mentioned elsewhere that Laguz treat the Branded far worse than the Beorc do.

Battle Conversation
"Ha ha! Do you like your meat rare? Or do you like it charbroiled? Let me know, and I'll cook you up just as ordered! Wha ha ha ha ha!"

- Petrine

Vs Ike
"You... You're the knight that my father battled."

- Ike "You! If I'd know you were going to grow to be such a thorn in our side... I would have reduced you to ashes when I had the chance... Guess it's not too late, though! Die!"

- Petrine

Vs Soren
"You... That mark on your brow... That's not a charm of the dead, is it? You're no Spirit Charmer! Hmph! You may be able to fool others with that, but not me. It's because we're the same, see?"

- Petrine "...The same? Don't be ridiculous. I'm nothing like you. You kill for sport, and hide your fear behind a wall of bravado. Now let me show you true fear!"

- Soren

Vs Haar
"Just as I expected. I thought I give you a chance to clear the stain of your name... Yet you and Shiharam are treachery in the flesh. Useless migrants!"

- Petrine "To think we endured this for eighteen long years. It seems Genreal Shiharam and I were not to be blessed with any masters worthly of serving. All we found were paltry pretenders..."

- Haar "You insult His Majesty? You know not your place, you louse-ridden oaf! Your failing are yours, and yours alone! It's time for you to burn! Don't worry, I will let the dogs snack on what's left!"

- Petrine

Death Quote
"Y-Your... Your Majesty... Forgive me...please... Oh, I don't want to die... So...scared..."

Etymology
'Petrin' is the French translation of 'trouble'. Also, the word 'petrine' means "of or relating to Saint Peter;" however, perhaps the most important etymological reference is to Petreius, a pseudo-historical Roman general in mythical British histories such as the Historia Regnum Britanniae by Geoffrey of Monmouth. According to this text, a Roman Emperor named Lucius demands that Arthur pay him tribute as his liege lord. Arthur refuses and instead argues that it is Rome who should pay Britain homage. Arthur and his knights sail to the Continent, take France from the Roman governor who ruled there, and then march on to Rome. Petreius fights against them and falls to King Arthur.
