It was Iago the whole time

So I wanted to make this art since I thought it would so cool to actually have an answer to why Corrin seemingly has amnesia. I people discussing it that it was Nohrian mages that wiped his memory I’ve also seen people say Corrin was too young to Hoshido however they seem to be dialog that disputes that and also that wouldn’t explain Silas considering in The FE Cipher art Corrin appears at least 10 to 14 meaning he wouldn’t lose his memory of him by then. So of the two possible reasons for that the mages are most plausible. And I had the idea of it being specifically Iago since he’s Garon’s right hand man and you gotta Corrin is basically a pawn Garon wants him to not anything about Hosido so of course he would imply his most trusted magic wielder to wipe Corrin’s memories in his sleep. I mean amnesia theory makes sense considering that Corrin has faint memories of his Hosidian family at the beginning of the game.

Also this is cool since this gives Iago something other than comically evil and loyal to Garon he was the one who basically wiped Sila’s childhood best friend memory to the point he doesn’t recognize him so that means they would an interesting conversation if met in battle. This is honestly a misopportunity. I dunno if it’s actually stated that he does this in Birthright in dialog against the Hosidian soldiers but they should also find out that this guy over here wiped them from their brother/sister’s memories. It would give more of sense of satisfaction when you finally down Iago. So I thought of some sort of Battle dialog for Silas vs Iago.

Iago: Something of the line uggh of course you guys are together again

Corrin: What do you mean? (angrily)

Silas: Wait, are you why he/she didn’t me?

Iago: Uggh yeah, your little friend here was such a crybaby ever since that fateful day he/she wouldn’t shut up since so Garon made me do a little trick

Silas: Iago, you’re gonna pay this this!!

I like this as an idea since it fixes a plot, makes a villain more memorable and adds to Sila and the Hosidian Sibling’s characters. I was a little busy trying to make a better written version of Fates and found this part that fits so snug in its current writing that it makes sense lol.
