Hero (class)

Heroes are usually promoted Mercenaries; however, Path of Radiance showed an unplayable, pre-promoted Hero as the main character's father in the prologue of the game.

They usually wield swords along with axes. Stat-wise, they often have a speed a bit below that of a Swordmaster but its defense it higher. It is often rumored that the Lord class of Path of Radiance is an axe-less Hero in disguise. However, in Radiant Dawn, the Hero class is one of the second-tier Lord classes and belongs solely to Ike.
