Kain

Job Dragoon

Dominant Hand Left

Battle Command 1 Fight

Battle Command 2 Jump

Battle Command 3 Item

Kain is fairly similar to Cecil in the early going, a no-frills fighter. His Jump command takes him off the battlefield for a short time to deal extra damage. Even better, it works just as well used from the back row, which is helpful when you have four front-line fighters (such as when fighting Valvalis).
