You get two newcomers in this chapter. Ilyana is the game's only Thunder Mage, and she is screwed over by ''Radiant Dawn'''s unique gameplay mechanics. On the plus side, she is the only character capable of using Rexbolt, giving her a unique niche in the army, and her stat spread allows her to mitigate the disadvantages of thunder magic (good Strength to ignore the heavy weight, good Magic to fix the poor might, and good Skill to fix the poor hit). However, she takes valuable experience from the Dawn Brigade and takes it over to the Greil Mercenaries in part 3, who don't particularly need an extra mage. What's worse, if you try to train her in part 3, she is a level 12 tier one unit trying to keep up with mid-level tier 2 units, which never ends well. Using her simply costs too much to be worth it. Aran, on the other hand, is an extremely valuable character. He provides badly-needed bulk to the Dawn Brigade and can get extremely early access to a Silver Lance, making him very powerful. He is outstripped by Nephenee in the endgame, but until then, he will be one of the Dawn Brigade's main backbones.

At the start, observe Burton. He is holding a valuable Discipline scroll, but he doesn't drop it. Sothe is going to have to steal it from him. The Soldier next to Burton has a Steel Lance and a Javelin; we also want to steal the Steel Lance (hehe!) for newcomer Aran.
