Rohde

      Dr. Rohdes is a historian/inventor who lives in the town of Hassan. He will not join the shining force unless Bowie brings him something of interest. Once you get the achillies sword Rohdes will join your team and act as the caravan. The caravan is an easy place to switch the members of the force, and manage your items. The caravan also allows you to get to areas that were previously unaccesable so you can continue on in the game. Rohdes will join the force as a fighter once you clear the battle at North Cliff. He starts off promoted as a Brass Gunner, and utilizes a cannon to fight. He has good defense and can attack from a range, but has a small movement range.
