TheCivilian (Japanese:市民Civilian), known as theCitizen inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, is aclass in theFire Emblem series held only by helpless non-playable characters. Civilians first appeared inGenealogy of the Holy War, and made appearances in every game since untilShadow Dragon, in which they are absent onwards. They appear both as adults and children, although in some games a separateChild class is included.
Typically, civilians appear as innocent bystanders that the player must save from harm, since they are unable to use weapons. Although most of the time it is not required that all civilians be saved, usually, saving a number of them yields some sort of reward, usually as rare items in earlier games, orbonus experience inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance andFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They are almost completely helpless, and saving them can be difficult. Usually, they can berescued, or the enemies around them can be killed.
There are no playable civilians; all are neutral units colored green on the map.

Trivia
- The female variant that is used byNatalie inThe Blazing Blade is one of the very few classes where one of its base stat values exceed its maximum stat values. It holds aconstitution base of 25, even though the maximum value of the class is set to be 20.
- InGenealogy of the Holy War, Civilian has no battle animations, and battles involving them proceed using map animations. If they enter combat where battle animations are forced—asJulius can withLoptous inChapter 10—the Civilian will use the battle animations of a weaponlessArch Knight, as it is the default animation.[1]
