Recruiting Xavier

Recruiting Xavier is a somewhat daunting task; the several NPC civilians must talk to the eight Leonster Armor Knights working under Xavier. Additionally, each specific NPC has to talk to a specific Knight; the characters do not have unique names, so they can only be identified by their portraits. The matching civilian-knight pairs are provided in the table below:

talks to	talks to	talks to	talks to
talks to	talks to	talks to	talks to

Note: There are two separate Civilians that share the portrait of the girl with the green shirt and twintails; it does not mean that one civilian needs to speak with two knights.

The civilians will not start moving from their cell until the door to the throne room is unlocked. But once it's unlocked, the Armor Knights stationed there (including Xavier's knights) will start moving towards the door. While Xavier and his knights won't attempt to harm or capture any of the civilians, the Friege Knights will (there are four of them) when given the chance. You can use a Sleep staff or a Sleep Edge to neutralize them to prevent them from interfering.

What happens to the knights or the civilians after the former converts does not matter. So long as all of the Leonster armor knights become NPCs before dying or escaping, you will still meet the recruitment requirements for Xavier. Also keep in mind that after a knight gets converted and becomes green, the others will try to kill him. Considering how the knights have Killer Lances or Hammers equipped, one should be ready to use the Rescue command if necessary, as the counterattacks might result in someone getting killed. It's not mandatory to keep all the knights alive after they spoke to their relatives, but you have to keep all the armor knights alive until everyone is reunited with their loved ones. You could use your Sleep staves to make the eight knights fall asleep, so you can bring the NPCs to them without the knights attacking each other after they become green. Also, the NPCs are the ones that start the conversations, so if they manage to reach the knight that is their relative, they will convert them. After you managed to convert all the eight Leonster armor knights, talk to Xavier with Leif and he will join him.

It is recommended to have some of your units stand on the staircases to plug up and prevent reinforcements from appearing, especially the Dark Mages, who are armed with Rewarp staves or a Fenrir tome, allowing them to easily kill the civilians.

To get the Member Card, you must not kill any of the Leonster Soldiers (the ones that are of the Soldier class; Xavier's Armored Knights aren't included). All of them are armed with Javelins, meaning that in most cases, they would prefer attacking your units at range, making it slightly less likely for them to get themselves killed attacking your powerful frontliners at close combat. Capturing and releasing the soldiers are also fair game, as it allows you to safely remove them from the map without killing them. Stealing their weapons is possible, though that would require that your Thieves gain a couple points of constitution in order to do so.
