Then there's Donnel, the young farm hand with a tin pot for a helmet. To strengthen your force, you'll need to carefully expose it to the front, and Frederick takes a new role: still ever-reliable and true, he becomes the army's shepherd, allowing it to make kills without getting into trouble and stealing too many of his own. Soaking up hits and retaliating with crushing force, he's initially at the centre of your tactics and you love him dearly, until, sooner or later, you'll realise that he earns XP slower than everyone else. Like Sacred Stones' Seth, and Marcus in Fire Emblem, his purpose is to take the heat in the early levels, going out into dangerous land to entice enemies into range of the rest of your force, who can easily be killed if they're attacked first. A stalwart and experienced knight on a horse, his starting stats are higher than the rest of the army, which is a common pattern for the series. In Awakening's early game there's Frederick.
