Demoted to Extra: Appears and is mentioned less and less near the middle and last quarter of the game, but lessened a bit at the very end.Canon Name: The Tactician's default name is Mark.If you do well enough, entire countries are willing to go to war just to find and recruit you. But Now I Must Go: At the end of the game, Mark vanishes without a trace.Mark appears as a young boy in Heroes, but no mention of Mark's gender is made whatsoever. The name is no help either since it's the same for both genders. Ambiguous Gender: Their sprite obscures their appearance, making identifying their gender difficult, and we never see their face.Many of the cut-scenes either take place from the Tactician's first person point of view or will show the back of the Tactician's head looking out into the scene as a pseudo-first-person point of view. The Tactician is a stand-in for the player with no dialogue or characterization. The Tactician would go on to join the armies of the Lords as their strategist. They were ambushed by bandits and found by Lyn, who nursed them back to health. The Tactician was Walking the Earth to train their skills as a military strategist. However, in Rath and Lucius's case, they are most likely Doomed by Canon since they're implied to be characters who died offscreen, whereas Wallace may potentially not appear again after clearing Lyn's tale if the player doesn't access Lloyd's version of "Four-Fanged Offense", as he is replaced by Geitz in the Linus version of said map. What Happened to the Mouse?: As they were created solely for this game, most of these characters are never acknowledged or mentioned at all in The Binding Blade, as that game was made first.The others are more Honorary True Companions who come and go for their own loosely aligned goals, without pledging loyalty to Lyn personally or House Caelin. You get three Big Guys in Dorcas, a fighter that temporarily turned to brigandry to help his wife, Proud Warrior Race Guy Rath, who shares Lyn's heritage, and veteran knight late comer Wallace. Wil is the plucky commoner who is mostly along for the ride. Florina is The Heart, being the most kindhearted and jittery of the lot. She has her two deputies in Kent, an experienced foil to Lyn who knows more about her Lycian heritage, and Sain, the cocky reckless one and a horrible flirt. Lyn is The Leader, being the hero who quests to defeat Lord Lundgren. The Team: Lyndis' Legion form one during Lyn's tale.Recurring Element: Most of them represent early-game character archetypes from the series, and they also play with or subvert the usual tropes that come with them.Lyn: "Lyndis's Legion"? This is getting stranger with every day.
