What happens when you have three people to fit into the red-green cavalier archetype? You make one of them blue and call it a day.
With war with neighboring Dromin still within recent memory, Corasanne keeps its military in good shape, and its cavaliers stand ready to defend the country from whatever threat may arise. Though they come from a variety of backgrounds, they are united in purpose.
Ankoni is the son of a well-respected military family, continuing in his parents’ footsteps. He’s level-headed and by-the-book, and has a dry sense of humor that occasionally gets to show when he’s not stuck being the necessary boring one. As the Lance Cavalier of the trio, he’s got a solid, ordinary statline, and is generally a dependable unity.
Ankoni’s reclass options are Soldier, Cleric, and Armor Knight (lance). He’s solid enough in the first two, but a little lackluster as an armor.
Ekhein grew up as a refugee of bandit attacks, and wishes to help protect others as a result. He’s eternally optimistic and outgoing, and pretty much wants to be everyone’s friend, which lines up with his wide range of support options. He also bears the Mark of Ashla on his arm. Ekhein is a Sword Cavalier with somewhat wonky growths; he can be a bit of a glass cannon in his base class.
Ekhein is an option to wield Xiphos, and is not hard to convince, though he ha. If he’s made the Chosen, his epilogue doesn’t change very much off his usual one; he continues to seek to help people, and doesn’t seek special treatment.
Ekhein’s reclass options are Soldier, Troubadour, and Dancer. He makes for a pretty good mounted healer for sure, but as far as the fandom is concerned, Dancer build is the best meme build.
Charien hails from the holdings of Corell and is fiercely proud and protective of her homeland. Having lost family in the previous war with Dromin, she’s untrusting of the empire now to say the least, and can be plenty hotheaded about it if provoked. Charien can be a little unwieldy to level as an Axe Cavalier, and her base stats make the playerbase ask why the designers changed her away from the armor unit she was clearly meant to be. If you level her enough to promote, though, she’s usually the best possible Great Knight in the game.
Charien’s reclass options are Fighter, Soldier, and Armor Knight (axe).
All three cavaliers are recruited about a quarter of the way into the game, dispatched to the player as reinforcements once they report back some dire findings about Dromin’s activities. Hilariously, whichever two you pick, you can pretty much get the “those two guys” cavalier dynamic in any combination.
