The Civilian is a non-playable class that first appears in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Like the class's name suggests, it is one that is assumed by the common citizenry, and are incapable of engaging in combat. Both adults and children may appear as civilians, though in certain titles, the Child class appears separately.

In some games, the Villager class appears instead, with similar purpose.

History in the Series

In the class's original appearance in Genealogy of the Holy War, members of the common citizenry are encountered as they evacuate their homes in a bid to evade and escape the ongoing warfare. In this title, rescuing any one of the Civilians who appear will reward the rescuer with an instant level up.

In Thracia 776, rescuing Civilians no longer awards level ups. Instead, depending on the chapter that Civilians appear in, keeping them alive or helping them flee battlefields will reward the player with a variety of benefits. Some of these benefits include the acquisition of rare items and the ability to recruit more characters.

Civilians that appear in subsequent titles do so in a similar context as in Thracia 776, requiring protection and often awarding the player if they are kept alive until the end of the chapters that they appear in.

In Radiant Dawn, the Civilian class is localized as the Citizen class.

In Awakening, the Civilian class is not present, but Villagers serving the same purpose are present in certain Paralogue chapters. These Villagers are very weak and usually unarmed, and must be protected from enemies. If the Villagers survive to the end of the chapter, the player may be rewarded with items.

In Engage, the function of the Civilian class is again taken by the Villager.

Other Games

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, Civilians are simply known as NPCs.

Overview

Combat

Civilians appear in battlefields as Other Units, possessing low HP and are incapable of engaging in combat. Protecting these individuals may not always be compulsory, but doing so often yields rewards that are beneficial to the player. Civilians are often static units that require at least one bodyguard to maintain vigilance over their safety, but in their appearance in Radiant Dawn, they appear as units that can be rescued by other NPC units.
