Vanguard (class)

Vanguard is a class exclusive to Ike in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

As a Vanguard, Ike can wield both swords and axes, and is capable of achieving an SS rank in both. This allows him to use Greil's axe Urvan, the Holy Blades Ragnell and Alondite, and the Vague Katti. Similar to the Lord class in Path of Radiance, the Vanguard's occult skill is Aether, which has the combined effects of Sol and Luna.
