The Brigand (Japanese: 山賊 Mountainthief) is a class of axe-wielding fighters who travel on foot. They first appear in Fire Emblem Gaiden as an enemy-only class with exclusive access to the axe.
The Brigand is traditionally an enemy-only class, with the exceptions being Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, in which playable character Marty is a brigand; Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, in which Gonzalez is a brigand; and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where the Brigand is a standard promotion option for all playable units. In most games, they can cross mountains.
Brigands generally have low stats in all categories, but above average HP and strength. As enemies, they are not at all difficult to defeat. However, playable brigands often have better stats than those of enemies. Their ability to cross mountains can be useful.
In Thracia 776, brigands can change class to the Warrior class. In The Binding Blade, brigands become berserkers. In the coding for The Blazing Blade and The Sacred Stones, Brigands still promote to Berserker, but this can only be seen via hacking the game.
Similar criminal axe classes are Pirate, Bandit, and Barbarian.
