In Path of Radiance he often presents a more cynical perspective on events than the other characters, and has little respect for anyone other than Ike, for whom he holds great loyalty. Spoilers follow: It is revealed in Soren's support conversations that he is actually one of the Branded he was born with both beorc and laguz blood , though he tries to conceal this fact.
He never knew his parents, having been raised by an unrelated woman who disdained him, and sold him to an old Sage when he was very young. The Sage wanted to pass on his knowledge of magic, and had mistaken the mark on Soren's forehead for that of a Spirit Charmer, one who had sold his soul to a spirit in exchange for magical power. He realized his mistake, but still taught Soren magic until his death two years later.
Following the death of his teacher, Soren wandered the country of Gallia, where, as one of the Branded, he was shunned by the laguz and persecuted by the beorc. The exception was one child, Ike, who offered him food and kindness. After that meeting, Soren made it his goal to find Ike again, and succeeded several years later.
Soren checked the corpses for Ike, but he did not find him and assumed that he was safe. Afterwards, he traveled to Crimea in search of Ike. During his journey, Soren took refuge in a church under the guise of a Spirit Charmer. During his time there, the church workers instructed him in basic matters such as speech. After wandering for several years, he eventually reunited with Ike and joined the Greil Mercenaries.
Some time before the story, Soren traveled to the capital of Crimea in order to study at the royal library. During one of his days there, he witnessed the Daein army's attack on Crimea, which was the beginning stage of the The Mad King's War.
Immediately, he returned to the Greil Mercenaries' base to inform them about this. From this point on, he accompanies Ike as an adviser and strategist for his army. Soren first appears alongside the Greil Mercenaries when they rescue Lucia from her execution at the hands of Ludveck 's army.
During the cutscene, he is almost ambushed by a soldier from behind, as he was lost in his books, but Mia saves him. In Part 3, he serves the Laguz Alliance as a strategist, but Skrimir looked down upon him as Soren chose to be furtive than charging at the front. In a special conversation in the epilogue, Soren's true identity as the prince of Daein is revealed, as Almedha realizes it upon seeing him and expresses her pride in him. However, Almedha did not introduce herself to Soren as his mother, being a truth that she would continue to hold forever buried within her heart, never known to history.
In the ending, he will accompany Ike on a journey to search for new lands if they share an "A" support level. Typically rude and cold towards others, Soren prefers to be alone rather than with the rest of the company. As a result, he appears to be high-strung, though Titania thinks that this is because Soren is "a very empathetic young man. Behaving with logic and thinking from a cynical viewpoint due to his difficult childhood, he puts the feelings or circumstances of others aside if it benefits the mercenaries, often suggesting not to help others if it hinders their cause unless they can gain something from it.
Although he is criticized for this, his tactics are still regarded as impeccable by many, including Ike , who views him as "essential" to the company. Soren's tactics also earned him the attention of Skrimir , who never even thought about tactics prior to their meeting. In the beginning of Path of Radiance , Soren displays a rather obvious dislike for laguz. However, with Ike's assurance, he is able to hold it back.
His resentment towards laguz is also present during Radiant Dawn , albeit not as strongly as it is in Path of Radiance. Soren shows a great amount of compassion towards Ike and seems to have devoted his life to him. Ike seems to have great insight into Soren's personality, calling him a "softie" who tries to put on a strong face in one of their conversations in Path of Radiance.
His extreme loyalty to Ike can be compared to the devotion that Almedha harbors towards her false son, Pelleas. Throughout the game, Soren is regarded as "the boy always at Ike's side" by other characters, with him himself also declaring that Ike is his only friend.
Soren also seems to dislike being interrupted, as seen when he is explaining his battle plans to Skrimir. This is also shown when he receives the Hammerne staff from Aimee. Soren is the first mage available to the player in Path of Radiance. He joins in chapter 4 and is available in every map from then on, allowing him to quickly rack up kills and experience. Due to the fact that he targets resistance, he is able to deal heavy chip damage to enemy armor knights and soldiers, among others.
His offensive stats will quickly grow and allow him to readily contribute. He does, however, have several flaws. His most notable issue is his low movement of 5, the same as an Armor Knight.
This can result in some difficulty reaching the fray, especially with how prevalent mounts are in this game. His low bulk, even in comparison to other mages, can cause issues as well though he has fairly reliable avoid. Between both of these things, some might consider him ill-suited for front-line combat.
Soren also has very bad Strength, which makes tome weight an issue early on. However, if the player does not mind making minor accommodations for him, Soren can be a useful player phase unit, or even an enemy phase unit if his Speed is sufficient. Something Soren has over the other mages is Adept , which, though it has a low initial activation rate, can often push Soren over to the point of getting a kill.
When it comes time to promote Soren, the player has the option to give him staves or knives. Staves are the better option by far, as he will practically never want to use knives instead of magic, and they will give him a little bit of healer utility. Once Soren has become a Sage, his growths should have managed to pull him out of his initial funk, and he can be a reliable combat unit.
Overall, Soren is a character who tends to live and die by his growth rates, but on average, he is usually a strong combatant and one of the best sources of range magic damage. Compared to other mages, his greatest advantage is his availability, which gives him many opportunities to prove his worth. As an Archsage , Soren can reach his Stat Caps in magic, skill, and resistance easily, but he has rather questionable speed and strength growths.
Of all potential Archsages, Soren along with Bastian have the highest cap in Magic but the lowest cap in Strength, but Soren's strength as an Archsage will always be high enough to suffer no loss of attack speed from wielding Rexcalibur.
Soren's main competition as a candidate for Archsage comes from Ilyana, as both are the only anima mages with enough availability to level and promote rather easily. Soren's main advantage is Wind magic being stronger than Thunder magic in this game and also having a B rank in Fire and Thunder Tomes by default, meaning he does not have to grind weapon ranks to use most Fire magic, which is the strongest anima weapon type of the three in Radiant Dawn.
In particular, Soren can reach an S rank in wind magic as a Wind Sage long before he is able to promote, meaning once that happens, he can easily revert to using the stronger Fire Magic until he promotes. Ilyana, on the other hand, needs extensive usage in order to push her Thunder magic proficiency up to S before promoting to an Archsage, and also will have to use that time to grind Fire and Wind ranks if seeking control of the anima weapon triangle is desired though this can be compensated by assigning her the Discipline scroll that can be stolen from an enemy during Part I.
Soren also will have better speed, magic, and resistance, which is much more valuable in the last two endgame chapters. Although Ilyana is the only character capable of using the Rexbolt, she cannot safely use it to kill many Dragon Laguz in the endgame unless they are weakened due to the excessive power and durability Dragon Laguz tend to have.
Despite these many advantages Soren has over Ilyana, the latter has considerably better availability due to being available in most of the Part 1 Chapters and also returning in Part 3. This means that by the time Ilyana rejoins in Part 3, she can be roughly on par level-wise with Soren, maybe only being two or three levels behind. However, Ilyana's better availability is only an asset if she is trained and promoted before the end of Part 1; if that does not happen, training Ilyana in Part 3 is going to be more trouble than it is worth.
