"That light called me... his son..."
Cecil, The Paladin
Renouncing his almost tainted Dark Sword given to him in order to serve the Baronian King, Cecil's power now literally glows with the skills of the Paladin, obtained from the top of Mt. Ordeals. With the Paladin's power of good behind his sword, Cecil can now fully battle the evil lurking within Baron and also wield some basic to mid-level White Magic, along with the awesome power of his Paladin armor and swords.

A bright child and the seemingly elder of the two, Porom keeps her hands full by keeping her brother Palom in line, administering an occasional bop on the head if need be. The two remain very close, regardless.

"He ordered me to make an airship, but I don't want it used as a weapon!"
Cid, The Engineer
Another former employee of the Baronian empire, Cid is reowned world-wide for his achievements such as the entire Baronian fleet of airships among other technological breakthroughs. In fact, his inventions have even been compared to the legendary work of dwarves. However, Cid's sense of loyalty is overridden by his sense of good, as he is the one of the first to suspect and have knowledge of the odd behavior of the King of Baron. Cid's resourcefulness in battle along with his kindly, optimistic attitude provide a "never say die" feeling to Cecil's team, even when all seems lost, and he won't hesitate to put it all on the line at any moment.
