The Second Triumvir

Aran is a popular Playable Character (PC) in the 3rd chapter of Part 1. He is first located at the north end of the map wielding a lance. A lance is a sharp device used to kill enemies. The earliest form of a lance was developed from early Greek versions of spears, and were generally thrown at people to kill them. However, I am not here to discuss the lance or its origins, just to tell you about the Aran, so I will continue to write about the Aran instead of the history of lances. Please excuse my wandering. Back to the point, the thing that makes the Aran so unique is that, unlike most PCs, he shows some semblance of defense growths. Around the second turn of Chapter 3 of Part 1, Aran appears, ready to kill your units, but he is then recruited by Laura. That was likely a run-on sentence, but I'm not going to bother to fix it. At this point, Aran moves, jumps on, and proceeds to kill, or attempt to kill, the enemy soldiers. He fights for his friends. Surprisingly enough, he manages to kill 1 of the armor knights blocking the south path, more often than not,before they kill him and he becomes an hero. This makes to 1-3 Araan, i mean Aran, or actually, I mean "I mean Aran"... um, where was I again? Oh, yes. This makes the 1-3 Aran a standout among PCs, and is why I'm writing right now. Sorry for the confusion. However, on a more interesting note, the 1-3 Aran isn't really an Aran, but a Soldier. That is to say, he is an Aran, as in someone who's name is Aran, but his official class title in the game is Soldier, as in someone who's pretty good with a lance, not someone standing in the frontlines of the battlefield with an assualt rifle trying to shoot terrorists. But it seems like of gone off topic yet again, and if it happens another time I give up with the writing. Anyways, most people's reasoning to the 1-3 Aran's title is either that "1-3 Soldier doesn't sound as good" or "I'm too much of a lazy ass to care". Thus, the 1-3 Soldier got his title as the 1-3 Aran, and continued to inspire me as I wrote this.

Garcia is a young villager of Renais. Holy heck, I screwed that one up. Garcia is an old, retired general from Renais. He once fought for facelss, I mean faceless, nobles. I’m sorry, I lied. The nobles did in fact have faces, but they seemed faceless to Garcia because he never met them. That did not make any sense, but I am too lazy to omit it, so I shall continue. Garcia uses Axes before promotion, which means that he can use the following before promotion: Devil Axe, Iron Axe, Steel Axe, Hand Axe, Killer Axe, Brave Axe, Silver Axe, Tomahawk, and Garm. Oops, I lied again. There are more axes in the game than those, but I am too lazy to list them all, so I shall not. Garcia is the son of Ross. Wow, that was a big screwup. Garcia is the father of Ross. His wife died in a bandit attack on Ide. Oops, I slighty, I mean slightl, I mean slightly lied. Garcia’s wife and therefore Ross’s aunt, I mean mother, died of an unknown cause according to what wen find, I mean what we find, in the game. Garcia also alks, I mean talks, to the following people in Support conversations: Seth, Gilliam, Neimi, and I’m sure I’m forgetting someone, but I don’t really care, because it is 0948 PM hours, I mean 2148 hours, at the time of this post, GMT +6, I mean –6, I mean whatever the heck Central Standard Time USA is. But I am digressing. Please punish me severely if I do it again, but note that I am a male and thus probably not suitable for reproductive exploitations. Where was I? Oh yeah, Garcia. Gracia has a Fire Affinity. Oops, I lied, because Gracia does not exist. Garcia does, which is the emphasis of this essay. Garcia has a Fire Affinity, so people that can Support him likely want to. Garcia actually has decent stats compared to Ross, a completely viable character, so he is actually worth using on your team as well, despite the fact that he is Dorcas reincarnated into Elibe, I mean Magvel. This is my essay on Garcia, and I am saddened by its completion and its lack of length. Good night to you.

Lute is a young mage of Renais. She believes she is a prodigy. Lute scored a 37 on the ACT. No no no, that’s not right. I meant to say she would score a 37 but she can’t take it because the ACT doesn’t exist in her day and age. Hang on, I was wrong again. She couldn’t possibly score a 37 because the max score is 36. However, she could get a 37 because she’s just that good. However, she couldn’t because she can’t get above 36. However, she could get a 37 because she’s just that good. However, she couldn’t because she can’t get above 36. However, she could get a 37 because she’s just that good. However, she couldn’t because she can’t get above 36. However, she could get a 37 because she’s just that good. However, she couldn’t because she can’t get above 36. Oops, I was repeating myself. Hang on, lemme get back to what I was sayinf, I mean saying with a g, not an f I am making a run-on sentence Please help me stop OK I am stopping now. Wow, Microsoft Word 95, I mean 97, didn’t catch the run-on. Whoops, this is way off of the original purpose of this biography. Anyway, Lute uses Anima Magic. She can only use Fire without AS loss. No, wat, she can’t even use Fire without AS loss. I mean, No, wait, she can’t even use Fire without AS loss. That is all before promotion. When she promtoes, I mean promotes, she can either become a Sage or Mage Knight. If she becomes a Sage, she will get Light Magic, which helps her CON because Light Magic is light. Uh-oh, I made a mistake! Oh noes! But you can understand my mistake, for in a dictionary I found, that is, it was in my father’s study, not that I bought it, the definition of light is: (n) electromagnetic waves in a visible spectrum; electromagnetic waves with the proper wavelengths and frequencies to be visible to the unaided eye; (adj) something of relatively little weight. Oops, Word says that’s a long sentence. Liek, O RLY YA RLY NO WAIT WAI OH SNAP I am done now. Getting back to Lute, Lute is a whispical, I mean whimsical, and character. She believes she is a prodigy, and her stats prove that, making her tutistical. Oops, I mixed up my Latin. In Latin tu means you. In Latin ego means I. Anyways, I mean anyway, Lute is egotistical and book-smart. She also loves ‘monk-watching,’ where I guess she watches monkeys. Hang on, I get it now! Artur, her secret admirer, is a monk. Therefore she likes watching Artur. In Artur’s A Lute suport, I mean support (please do not hurt me for thase, I mean these, pitiafulo, I mean pitiful, spelingz, I mean spellings, of wrdz, I mean words), Lute reveals that she doesn’t know how to deal with love. In her Vanessa support, she ignores the person entirely and stares at a boring flying horse that eats special carrots. Oops, I lied; only Hector thinks that, and he is in Path of Radiance, I mean Rekka no Ken. I know a secret! Vanessa’s pegasus is named after the Oifaye of Path fo Radiance, I mean Path of Raidance, and I mean Path of Radiance, Titania. But that has nothing to do with Lute. That is my report on Lute. G’night y’all.

Artur looks like a girl, however. I mean, Lute does too, but she gets away with it because she IS a girl, plus she has that kooky personality that nerds go crazy for. Maybe that explains their relationship. It certainly seems pretty kooky to go out with a guy that looks like a girl. I mean, when I first played I thought it was a girl, like, girly chin, girly red hair. I guess I should have figured it out from him being a monk. That's probably how Lute figured it out. Which begs the question, why is Lute going out with a monk? Oh yeah, kooky personality. Obviously she can't go out with a normal guy, like Kyle, she has to go out with Monk that looks like a girl. Not that Artur is Monk, I mean the TV show Monk, cause Monk looks like a guy and isn't a monk. So they certainly aren't the same person. Plus, Monk is kooky while the monk Artur just dates kooky girls. Artur doesn't really have much personality of his own anyway. Like, he's a monk... that's it?

Anyway, my point is that Artur isn't as hot as Lucius. Or as funny, I mean, they made jokes about it in FE7. I guess maybe they got letters of complaint from monks who looked like girls and didn't have much personality so they spent time around kooky women, and probably Monk too. So they made the same character but er, stopped making jokes about it. What the hell, IS? No wonder the Catholics dislike their games!

Marth is one of the manliest of men, he saved the world twice without pants. Now Marth makes his appearance as the main lord in FE1(Fire Emblem 1) and FE3(read the last thing in parenthesis because I don't feel like typing out Fire Emblem 3, oh wait I just did -_-). Anywho, these games are only in japan because they think Americans are not smart enough to beat it, which is how lots of other countries view us Americans like; not really serious about anything. A fine example of this is soccer, or "football" as they call it in just about every other country. The USA team is always soundly trumped by England/Germany/Brazil/Argentina/some other place. An example of this example would be the FIFA 06 world cup in which the US was spanked by the Czech Republic and a bunch of other European dudes. Speaking of European football(soccer) players, Zinedine Zidane is probably the most epic one ever, as his insane headbutt against some Italian guy was one of the greatest moments in sports history. Serves that sucker darn right for calling Zidane a dirty terrorist and saying bad stuff about his mom. Well back on topic, Marth's main introduction to most American gamers was in the epic, completely awesome, and really fun game that I've probably played way too much called Super Smash Brothers Melee(SSBM). Marth is considered a "top tier" character in this game, as his agility and fierce sword attacks make him a competent fighter. His sword is called falcion(sp?) or something like that. People who are really into SSBM will use advanced techniquies such as wavedashing. The wavedash is an unorthodox movement technique that, depending on the character's traction, slides him(or her/it) to the left or right and a certain amount of smoke clouds form around the character's feet. You can only attain mastery over of this essential skill through practice and watching pro videos on youtube. Marth is a very good wavedasher I think, though I wouldn't know because I'm no where near pro. Ok, getting back to things, Marth wears a crown thing that kind of makes him look feminine. However, this special crown happens to be his sister's tiera(or however you spell it, you know what I mean) and he wears it for good luck or some BS like that that isn't really true. Now I'm not sure how good Marth's luck is as a stat, but its probably better than Knoll's(my favorite character ever who I just had to mention in this somewhere). Knoll has a base luck of 0 and a mediocre growth, which therefore results in him having a poor score in luck. However, it is entirely up to the RNG(Random Number Generator). In theory, Knoll could end up with 29 luck as a 20/20 Summoner or Druid if he gained luck every time. Back to Marth; he cannot promote, which is a problem for him. The only other character who cannot promote that I can think of is Sothe in FE9. This is unfortunate because Sothe has very good stat growths, and would likely cap str, skl, spd, and luck and maybe some other stats if he could promote. Sothe also makes an appearance in FE10 as one of the main characters, and I believe he can promote though I have not actually played the game yet because I don't have a Wii. Many noobies to Fire Emblem thought that the US release of Fire Emlbem 7 would have Marth and his buddy Roy in it. In theory, Marth and Roy are not buddies as they are not connected in anyway exept in SSBM. Many people thought that Eliwood as actually Roy and that they just changed his name for some dumb reason. This was a very commom misconserption amougst many new players to the Fire Emblem series. This is untrue, and would be a disgrace to Eliwood because he is the finest knight in all of Lycia. Roy sucks in his game until he gets the Sword of Seals. However, Roy DOES make an appearence in FE7 as a little boy in the end, but he isn't playable. Marth does not make an appearance in FE7, FE6, FE8, FE9, FE10, or any other of the FE's except 1 and 3, I think anyways. In conclusion Marth is awesome.

The Epic of Dorcas, by boomerangfish (Key word being epic)

Night falls on the fort on the Sacaen plains. Carjiga, a cruel bandit, eyes the fort and it's occupants. He counts six of them. There are two cavaliers- one green, and one red. A young boy archer is looking at the moon and polishing his bow. There is a girl with a pegasus- the one who killed fellow Ganelon Bandit leader Migal several days earlier. There is a woman with a crippled leg, hobbling about. And finally, there is the leader- a girl with long green hair and the Mani Katti, legendary blessed blade of Sacae, by her side. Carjiga feared not the gods and the girl chosen to wield their blade. His bandit horde would attack in an hour. They would finish the girl and her companions before the sun came up. This girl was supposedly the heir to the ailing Marquess Caelin, and she traveled in haste to reach him. Along her way, she took revenge on the local bandit groups who had once killed her entire tribe. Carjiga smiled, the moonlight coming through the leaves of the oak tree above him. The last of the Lorca tribe would fall tonight.

Carjiga's horde numbered twenty-seven, all told. Most were rough and ruthless bandits- using powerful axes to kill villagers and pillage their town. A few were different- there were several mercenaries, using blades to devastate their enemies. Their skill and speed were unmatched by Carjiga's bandits- though their power was lacking. But the one man among Carjiga's entourage of most importance was a man named Dorcas. Dorcas had been hired by Carjiga a few months ago- for a paltry sum. The impressive warrior was desperate for money, he needed it for his wife, who was stricken with an illness that was hard to cure. Dorcas stood six feet tall. He wore a cloth vest of yellow, with brown pants and sandals. Dorcas had a long mane of brown-red hair, and his expression was always a neutral one, as if he were disinterested in any subject being discussed. He was a man of few words. On his arms he wore gauntlets made of hide and cloth, and a necklace made of leather and beads. Once, someone had made fun of Dorcas's necklace. He explained his wife had made it for him two years ago, when she could walk better than she could now. She tanned a leather strip and then bought beads from the city. She gave it to him when he left on his mercenary work. When he had finished, the bandit told Dorcas he was weak because he loved his woman. Dorcas silently walked up to the bandit, and got inches away from his face. He calmly said, "Did you say something, you son of a b****?" The bandit backed off, but Carjiga gave the nod to eliminate him. Dorcas hit him with the broad side of his axe, knocking him out. Dorcas told Carjiga simply: "...Didn't deserve it." No one doubted Dorcas's power after that. Now, this night, Dorcas would be crucial to Carjiga's victory.

Carjiga had his personal axe with him tonight. It was a special steel axe, crafted for him from a captive blacksmith. After completing the axe, Carjiga crippled his hands, making that the last piece of work for the blacksmith. Carjiga smiled, remembering the cries of the blacksmith. He looked at Dorcas, sharpening a hand axe. Dorcas was so confident in his abilities that he was using a hand axe. Carjiga laughed aloud. Dorcas only carried one of them, but he knew from personal experience that Dorcas could throw the axe so brilliantly that it could return to it's master, no matter the obstacle in it's way- be it flesh or blade. Once Dorcas noticed Carjiga, he walked over to him. "Dorcas, if you want to earn your keep, you better fight as well as you can. I'm paying for your full abilities." Dorcas shrugged."Fine." After he walked away, Carjiga rallied his men as they approached the fort. "Tonight men, we will eliminate Lyndis, enemy of the Ganelon Bandits!" The other bandits roared in unison. Dorcas remained calm. Carjiga pointed his axe at the fort. "Forward! Kill them all!"

//////////LINE BREAK//////////

The bandits rushed for the entrances of the fort. The two cavaliers guarded the main entrance. Using their swords, they defeated most of the bandits sent to kill them with minimal injury. Dorcas approached from the side of the fortress, where the pegasus girl awaited. She threw a javelin at Dorcas. Dorcas deflected the point of the lance with the broad side of his hand axe. The lance shattered, and Dorcas hurled his axe at the girl. The axe went through the horse's neck, cutting the girl's waist in the process, despite her light armor. Dorcas caught the axe in his opposite hand. The girl's body fell off the headless pegasus, with her gentle eyes still open. Dorcas moved the pegasus aside, and ran inside. The archer drew a bead on Dorcas, and fired. Dorcas threw his axe. Mid-air, his axe sliced the arrow in two, and impaled itself inside the youth's upper chest. Dorcas leaped on the youth, and he used his feet to dislodge the axe by pushing off the youth's body and jumping backwards. The two cavaliers diverted their attention from the main force to see Dorcas. The green cavalier charged with his lance, and Dorcas accepted his challenge. He jumped in the air at the charging knight, slicing through the lance and his abdomen. The horse crashed into a wall, sending the young knight off his horse. The red cavalier cried out and threw his lance. He then jumped off his horse and drew his sword. Dorcas dodged the lance, and his axe collided with the sword with tremendous force. The sword left the knight's hands and fell on the ground. Dorcas picked up the sword, and slashed with his axe across the cavalier's chest. The knight fell to his knees as the blood flowed from his wound. Dorcas used the senior knight's own sword to decapitate him. Dorcas dropped the sword as bandits rushed in, eager to approach the inner sanctum of the fort. Dorcas watched as the green headed girl approached the end of the narrow hall. Dorcas twirled his axe, and the girl drew her sword. Dorcas's axe met the girl's sacred blade, the Mani Katti. She was fast in her attacks, though they lacked force. Dorcas used his small axe to slip behind her blade and cut off her hands. The blade fell to the floor, and the girl did as well.

Dorcas stepped over her, and walked up the hall. Inside was Natalie, sitting in a chair. Dorcas dropped his axe and embraced his wife. "Natalie..." She hugged her giant of a man. "Dorcas... You came for me." Dorcas kissed her. He then picked up his axe and watched as Carjiga approached the other end of the hall. "...Unfinished business..." Dorcas walked down the hall, as Carjiga bellowed with laughter. "Dorcas! You performed excellently. Now, finish off that last woman." Dorcas looked back at Natalie. He turned again to Carjiga. His answer was simple. "...No." Carjiga's laughter turned to silence and confusion. Dorcas used this time to slice off Carjiga's arm with his axe. Carjiga dropped his axe and grabbed his shoulder. Dorcas holstered his throwing axe and picked up Carjiga's heavy axe. He used it to dispatch Carjiga. Carjiga's bandits, the fourteen remaining, all descended upon Dorcas.

Dorcas lifted Carjiga's axe a final time as he killed the last bandit. He then dropped it to the floor, where so many other weapons now lay. Dorcas turned, leaving the bodies behind as he walked up the hall again to meet Natalie. His shirt was torn, and his pants were filled with holes. His large forearms were bleeding, and he had the blood of others splattered on his face. Natalie removed a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Dorcas's face. She then embraced him. Dorcas grabbed her as well, and turned to watch the sun peek over the horizon. The dawn had arrived.

While it has been said that Marcus is the best unit, no one has talked about the second best unit: Dorcas von Facekicker III. In Fire Emblem, axes are very good weapons. In fact, if I had to rank the weapons, Axes would be third best, then swords in third place, and lances taking up the third spot. Anyway, axes are really good weapons. They smash things. Dorcas smashes things. Therefore, Dorcas must be an axe. No, that isn't true, because Dorcas belongs to the race of beings known as homo sapiens. Evolved from apes, or created instantaneously, whichever theory you prefer, they are the best units in Fire Emblem. They are also the only units. But anyway, Dorcas is the second best character in the game because he has an axe, which if you'll remember is the third best weapon type. People may say that Dorcas is a bad unit because he is slow, but slow and steady wins the race. Or something like that. The reason Dorcas has low speed is because he knows that that is the way to please a woman, aka your sister. People who are too fast end up not having a girlfriend for very long. The only reason Dorcas can have his way with women is because his wife has a bad leg condition, causing her to sit at home while he is on one of his sexcapades. If sexcapades isn't a word, it is now. That is why Dorcas goes on his journey with Eliwood to find the seven dragon balls- no, the meaning of life- Eli Manning? Sure, let's say that. So at end of the journey, he has two sons named Ward and Lot. After that, he moved to the Western Isles and bought an expensive vacation home. Unfortunately, Bartre bought a house next door and pesters Dorcas. Dorcas now spends the rest of his days being the second best unit in the game and denying Bartre a taste of his Fruity Pebbles, because Bartre has a much hotter wife.

Paladins can't wield Axes in Sacred Stones only because of Seth, who failed to have the proper CON to wield Axes; therefore, Intelligent Systems tried operating on this failure of a Paladin and mailed in their fission. By failing in their fission, they produced the offspring of Seth's impurity, the lack of CON to wield Axes, ultimately deciding that Paladins in that game should not wield axes. That's why they created the class known as Great Knight, and that's why every mounted unit has the potential to become one: The developers wished to single Seth out with his mailing misson of CON and torment him with guilt while comrades similar to him can in fact use Axes, the third best weapon in the game, along with Sword, the third place weapon of this game, and Lances, the third ranked weapon of this game. However, I have slightly lied, because, oh wait, I haven't lied; therefore, I have lied about lying, creating a paradox. But is it actually a paradox? No, because the statements don't counter the other. Actually, they do counter each other if you think about it, because I said I lied but said I didn't, making confusion in that one doesn't know what to believe. Now, I got slightly off topic, so I'll return to the topic. But I digress, for I have lied again. I didn't get slihghtly off topic, I got majorly off topic again. It seems, though, that I have lied again, for I did not get slihghtly off topic, because that is not a word, nor did I get majorly off topic, because that is not a word either. No, I actually got extremely off topic. That's the correct terminology, I guess. ACtuually, I don't believe it, I know it. There is no such word as ACtuually, so one could argue that I have lied an xth time, where x represents a number. When one thinks about it, though, x doesn't represent a number, because that number could be a decimal, and people cannot lie half a time. Therefore, x must represent a whole number under the guidance of the real number system. Now, allow me to return to the topic. Actually, you cannot allow me to return to any topic, because you cannot control my actions as I am doing them before you can do anything about it. Great Knights have the proper CON to wield Axes, enabling them to wield such useful weapons with relative ease, while Paladins cannot. Because Seth is the only Paladin, he is tormented by such occurrences. However, Seth is not the only Paladin, because there are enemy Paladins, and there is Orson. Is Orson an enemy or an ally? Neigh, he is neither, because he is actually a necrophiliac. He is actually Seth's younger brother and a necrophiliac. See, no one actually knows their ages, but it can be determined that Seth is older because Seth caused Paladins to lack the proper CON to wield axes, and because Orson cannot wield them, Orson must therefore be younger. However, this might confuse people, because Orson actually looks very old compared to Seth. The reason is that Seth, after having failed in having the proper CON to wield Axes, decided to adapt a life of being a hermaphrodite. We know this because of his smooth, unblemished face, and is fluffy, maple hair that blows and sways gently in the wind, especially his luscious bangs. Seth's goal in life after failing to become a Paladin is to become a woman, explaining why he did not join Ephraim on his journey into Grado. Instead of hanging around Ephraim, a slightly manly man, he stayed close to Eirika, a pure woman with many wonderful assets. He wanted to learn the womanly way from her so he could one day achieve his goal, so he could understand periods and the menstrual cycle and whatnot. At the end of the journey, he impregnates Eirika not because he loves her, but because he wants to understand what pregnancy is like, because he'll one day be pregnant with a child. Whose child? That's unknown. Seth's life has actually been a ploy. He has deceived you all. I hope you have been enlightened to teh truth. Not the truth. Teh truth.

How Largo lost his arm


One day, Largo was pinning down ten men with his little finger. However Chuck Norris was walking by and said "Hey, I could hold thirty men with my beard." Largo said "OK, let's see." Chuck easily pinned down thirty men with the fist hidden in his beard, but soon he had to let go for the fist was running out of manly energy. Largo laughed at Chuck Norris' epic failure, so Chuck Norris challenged him to an arm-wrestle. Largo easily won. Chuck was so angry by his loss that he roundhouse kicked Largo's arm off. Then Captain Falcon came and FALCON PAUNCHED Chuck Norris to Ecuador. Largo got up and FALCON KYICKED Captain Falcon to Qatar. Because Largo lost his arm in the most epic of all ownages, he was cut from Brawl-er, Radiant Dawn as the elusive Berserker. Intelligent Systems, afraid 1337 h4x would unleash the wrath of Largo, lock him away in the deepest parts of the game, where his data was cut up into miniature bits and pieces which will be forever lost in the regions of the firey abyss.

And that's why Largo's not in this game, son.

Dozla has to be my favourite character, and here's why:

Dozla is a Berserker unit recruited about half-way through the game. In both of the games routes, he begins at level one, and carries a battle axe (an axe with 13 might and 15 weight) and an elixir (which will heal all damage that has been caused to a character, except if their amount of damage is extremely high, probably due to having A hacked HP total. It also comes with 3 uses, and is a very good replacement for vulneraries late in the game, where enemies start to do significantly more damage, and a stave user is not able to help, which would be odd because any promoted magic class can use staves, except for Ewan if you decide to go the super-pupil promotion path. This is unlikely, however, because a more optimal promotion choice would be Druid, which while not having access to light magic, gives Ewan access to staves, which will benefit the team much more. This is important, because staves can provide lots of various effects, such as increased resistance to magic, the ability of teleportation, and many different ways to restore HP. The most powerful of these healing staffs, is the sacred staff of Rausten, the Latona staff. The Latona staff has the ability to completely heal all of the players characters completely, and cure any status effect they may have had inflicted upon them. The downsides to the staff is that it does not effect the caster, and that it only has 3 uses. The latter problem, however, can be fixed with the use of the Hammerene Staff. The Hammerene staff will fully fix a weapon, reverting it's number of uses back to maximum. This is good for keeping your best weapons available. There are two Hammerene staves in the game. One is brought with Lyon when you complete the Ruins 3 times, and one is in chapter 14 on both routes. This chapter on both routes may prove difficult for newer players to the series, and may be considered a challenge to some of the veterans (especially on Ephraims route). The chapter "Father and Son" features the most challenging tasks the game has presented to you so far. It features lots of enemies, Multiple promoted magic users with status-inflicting staves, and the task of recruiting Rennac, the Rogue. There are two ways to recruit Rennac, one is to pay him roughly 10,000 gold with your Lord, or have L'Arachel talk to him to be recruited for free. While the latter sounds the more sensible, it is particularly dangerous, as it is likely L'Arachel will have a low level, and will be easily killed. Recruiting Rennac is worth it, though, as comes with the "Members Card", an item which allows access to shops where powerful weapons and items are sold. He also makes a great replacement for Colm if he has died, or you didn't use him. He also supports with Dozla, which reminds me that I seem to be digressing from the topic at hand.) Anyway, like I was saying,Dozla is a Berserker unit recruited about half-way through the game. I like im because his critical animation is quite cool.
