In {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, Kieran is the deputy commander of the Crimean Royal Knights. He is first used in Part 2 in Geoffrey's chapters to help thwart [[Ludveck]]'s plot to dethrone Elincia, and then again in a chapter of Part 3. Kieran can later join Ike's group and be used for the remainder of Part 3. Kieran is placed in the Hawk Army in Part 4 by default, though he can be moved to any of the three formed teams.

Kieran is one of the paladins of the Crimean Royal Knights in Part II, and is available in chapters 2-3, partway through 2-E, 3-9, and joins Ike's group in 3-11. He has good base stats for Part II, with strong 1-2 range axes, good bulk, and is just fast enough to double many Part II enemies, making him the best Part II paladin after Geoffrey. In the long run, Kieran has excellent growths in strength and defense. His speed growth is low despite his okay base speed, so he will need a speedwing or BEXP after capping some stats to keep up past Part II. He may also face accuracy issues despite an acceptable skill growth and base, because of axes and an unstable biorhythm cycle. Path of Radiance transfers benefit him especially, as he caps strength and skill on average in PoR, letting him cap ram them earlier in here. It is also viable for PoR Kieran to cap speed and defense, especially with the PoR knight ward, which help him immensely.

In chapter 2-3, Kieran can get a free Silver Axe through an info conversation. It is also recommended to buy the Killer Axe for him, as it is an accurate axe with high crit, helping him a lot during his available chapters. Kieran holds his own well in chapter 3-9 despite it favoring infantry and fliers. However, when he joins Ike's group in 3-11, he will likely be behind and outclassed by other mounts like Titania, Haar, and Oscar. If the player wants to use him, it is reasonably viable to help him catch up without too much investment thanks to his decent base level and stats.

If trained, Kieran can be useful in part 4, though it is recommended to put him on Ike's team, as the other two teams have chapters extremely harsh for paladins (desert and swamp). As this is the team that almost every paladin should go to, he is often, again, outclassed by paladins like Titania. For endgame, Kieran can contribute with his high strength, mobility, and hammer access, though his accuracy issues will cause problems for the last chapter.

Kieran starts with the Gamble skill, which is not a practical skill but can be fun to use. If the player wants to use him past chapter 3-9, it is highly recommended to take Paragon off of Geoffrey or Astrid and give it to Kieran in 3-9, as it will help him immensely with catching up to the other paladins in Ike's group. After promotion, Sol helps him continue to be an excellent physical tank.
