Villager

Villager (むらびと, Villager) is a playable class introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden. The members of this class use swords as weapons, and can promote to the Mercenary, Soldier, Archer, Mage, or Cavalier first-tier classes any time after reaching Level 3 by using the appropriate shrine. The advanced class is chosen randomly, although a player can cancel the process as many times as desired. That way, it is possible to actively choose the promotion.

Although weak as a class, the villagers have the potential of leveling infinitely by following the Mercenary path, as the respective third-tier class, Dread Fighter, is able to promote back into this class any time after reaching Level 10.

The class returns in Fire Emblem: Awakening, this time wielding lances similar to a Recruit. They cannot promote this time, but they can reach up to Level 30, though their stat caps are extremely low. Donnel, the playable villager, also can use a Second Seal to switch to Mercenary or Fighter, giving him three promotion options; Hero, Bow Knight, and Warrior.
