So, recruit rundown. For all that plot I didn't pick up very many new people, so this'll be comparatively quick.
Name:
JeaneAge: Unknown
From: Unknown
Position: Magic Unit
Note: None
- Sorry, but she's a tough lady. Couldn't get past her guard....
- Ugh..... I think... I think I'm in love... I'm sorry
- I, I, I can't say anything.. F, forgive me.... This...this is all I can say... I.....I'm sorry....
Jeane can join army units, giving them a special Lightning attack. It can be used once to zap a unit within a four-panel radius to do damage to it -- it's what I hit Kiba with in the screenshot where I was talking about how tough he is.

Name:
VikiAge: 16
From: Anywhere
Position: Magic Unit
Note: Watch out for her teleport!
- It looks like this chick isn't even from this continent. I think she only wound up here cause of one of her crazy teleport mistakes.
- Could it be teleport shock? She said that just before she came here, she was celebrating the birth of the Toran Republic. But that was 3 years ago.
- She was talking in her sleep, I guess. What the hell could "Waffu" mean anyway?...
Viki can join tactical parties but not groups in wartime, the opposite of Jeane. She's got decent dedicated-mage stat growth and great Luck but
no rune affinities at all. Her signature Blinking Rune gives her some unusual magic capable of teleporting foes out of battle entirely... but sometimes it misfires and teleports away all her allies instead, leaving poor Viki helplessly alone in a fight with slavering monsters.
And I have no idea what "waffu" refers to.

Name:
CamusAge: 27
From: Grasslands
Position: Cavalry Captain
Note: Former member of Red Knights of Matilda
- I heard that if he fights together with Miklotav, they can do a 'Knight Attack'.
- He's originally from the Grasslands, but he moved to Matilda when he was young and took the test to become a knight. He and Miklotov became knights on the same day.
- He's got rough manners, but he's a knight all the way. That guy is as tough as nails.
Camus and Miklotov fill the same role as Alen and Grenseal from the first game. Camus has the Rage Rune and better physical stats.
Camus is an infantry unit leader in army battles, with a base attack/defense of 9/8 and the cavalry ability.
Camus can Unite with Miklotov for the Knight Attack, which doubles damage to an enemy and might unbalance one or both of them.

Name:
MiklotovAge: Rockaxe
Position: Cavalry Captain
Note: Former Captain of the Blue Knights of Matilda.
- This guy's got 'Cavalry Ability', so during a battle sequence, any unit you put him in will become a cavalry unit.
- He's the type of guy that says whatever is on his mind. That's why he doesn't fare too will in the lady's department.
- He wakes up early every morning and trains for 2 hours before breakfast. That's why his 'Blue Knights' were such great fighters. Poor guys.
Miklotov is the Grenseal to Camus' Alen, carrying the Thunder R-- what the?! No, Miklotov has poor magic stats and carries a
Knight rune, giving him the ability to soak hits for allies (although oddly, he's got better Fire affinity than Camus does).
In army battles, Miklotov commands another infantry unit, with attack/defense of 8/9 and the Cavalry ability.
Camus, Miklotov, and Flik can all band together for the Fancy Lad Attack, doing half again as much damage to one enemy and a small chance of killing the target outright. If one of them is equipped with an Invincible Smile, the attack improves to double combined damage and the chance of instant death goes up.

Name:
KibaAge: 37
From: Highland Kingdom
Position: General
Note: Former General of Highland's 3rd Army
- Sounds like although General Kiba had a high position in the military, he wasn't very well compensated if ya know what I mean.
- General Kiba's first battle was for the defense of Fort Retto. He led a small force of 100 men and managed to repulse 3,000 hardened State veterans.
- He swore fealty to Agares Blight, but when Agares was killed by his son, Lucas, he came to us. He's a pretty complex guy.
Kiba leads another infantry unit with base attack/defense of 7/12. He has both the Cavalry and Heavy Armor abilities, too.
---
Name:
KlausAge: 19
From: Highland Kingdom
Position: Vice-Strategist
Note: Former strategist of the Highland 3rd Army
- Klaus's 'Evade' ability gives his unit a good chance of avoiding an attack.
- It looks like Klaus takes after his mother for the time being. But ya never know. Maybe when he gets a little older, he'll become more like his dad....
- He's worried that his dad drinks so much, he'll ruin his liver.
Klaus is too frail to fight in tactical battles, but putting him in an army unit grants his company +3 Defense and the Evade ability.

I've got Sheena and Freedy taking up two front-line positions in my party with their general suckitude
although Sheena eventually gets over his, but I'm not going to put up a vote for the rest of the party to go into Toran. There's a more important and sorta-kinda spoilery I guess option to choose. Once we get to Toran, one of the veterans of the Gate Rune Wars will join us as an emissary. We have a choice between the master swordswoman
Valeria or the skillfull ninja
Kasumi. Who do we take?
