In [[In Occupation's Shadow|Chapter 4]], [[Lyn]] and her party stop to rest at a fort. A woman named [[Natalie]] with an affliction impeding her movement asks her for help. Natalie asks if they have seen her husband Dorcas, and shows them a sketch, but Lyn has not.  

When bandits come to attack, Natalie hides in the middle of the fortress. Lyn recognizes one of the incoming bandits as Dorcas. She speaks to him, and he reveals that he joined the bandits because he needed money to pay for Natalie's illness. She tells him that Natalie is in the fort. Hearing this, he decides to join Lyn's party.

There are two different variations of Dorcas available to ''Heroes'', at least one of which is tied to his storyline appearance in ''The Blazing Blade''. The normal variation of Dorcas is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Farfetched Heroes]] update, and became available for summoning by players on November 15, 2017. A Halloween variation of Dorcas is one of the characters announced for the game alongside the [[The Land's Bounty]] update, and will be made available to players in the seventh edition of the [[Tempest Trials#Tempest Trials+|Tempest Trials+]], whose initial run is currently unknown.

===Normal variation===

:''Dorcas: Serene Warrior is only available at 5{{star}} rarity.''

==Personality and character==

Dorcas is a quiet, but good-willed man. He is a very devoted husband to his wife [[Natalie]], having joined the army to pay for her illness, and is even willing to listen to [[Farina]]'s dubious advice on making money.<ref>{{cite|'''Farina:''' Yeah, I heard about that. All right, I’ll give you a little advice then. Just for your wife, see. I don’t usually do this...<br>'''Dorcas:''' I... Thank you.|Dorcas and [[Farina]]'s B support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> He is calm and collected, refusing offers that would supposedly bring him glory, such as responding to [[Bartre]]'s bold challenges<ref>{{cite|'''Bartre:''' Now, we fight!<br>'''Dorcas:''' ...What? I don’t understand. Are we supposed to duel?|Dorcas and [[Bartre]]'s C support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> or [[Oswin]]'s offer to join the [[Ostia]]n forces.<ref>{{cite|'''Oswin:''' Have you considered joining the Ostian knights? We need men like you. Soldiers. Warriors.<br>'''Dorcas:''' ...Sorry, but that’s not my style.|Dorcas and [[Oswin]]'s C support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> He has a slightly jaded view of the world, scoffing at the idea of having ideals.<ref>{{cite|'''Dorcas:''' They say she is pure, but a bit too idealistic. Ideals... Ha!! She must be young.|Dorcas and [[Vaida]]'s B support "conversation"|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Sometimes he can even seem slightly sarcastic, especially when dealing with Bartre.<ref>{{cite|'''Bartre:''' I couldn’t even understand half of the words he used...<br>'''Dorcas:''' I’d imagine not.<br>'''Bartre:''' Hey, are you calling me a fool!<br>'''Dorcas:''' Yes. I am...|Dorcas and Bartre's A support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Besides fighting, he seems to have a talent in art, having drawn a portrait of Natalie.<ref>{{cite|'''Bartre:''' Is that a picture? Forgive me, but you don’t strike me as the artistic type!<br>'''Dorcas:''' You’re one to talk about looks... This is a picture of my...of Natalie.<br>'''Bartre:''' Ohh. I get it. She’s in the town square. Well, that’s real pretty.<br>'''Dorcas: ''' I’d like to draw her in other settings, but she still can’t go far from the house...|Dorcas and Bartre's B support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> Dorcas is a determined man who is of few words, but good-hearted.

Dorcas lives with his Natalie, who is sick with an illness that seems to heavily impair her motor abilities in her legs, so Dorcas works hard to raise money to buy the cure. They originally lived in [[Bern]]<ref>{{cite|Once Lyn's true heritage is recognized in Caelin, Dorcas returns to his home in Bern.}}</ref>, but sometime within a year of Lyn's reunion with her grandfather in Caelin, they moved to [[Pherae]]; <ref>{{cite|'''Dorcas:''' I do this for my wife, waiting for me in Pherae.|Dorcas and Oswin's A support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> whether or not they have children is unclear; Dorcas mentions a family, but not specifically children.<ref>{{cite|'''Dorcas:''' I...must return home alive. My family is waiting for me...|Dorcas and Geitz's support conversation|The Blazing Blade}}</ref>
