Starting Weapon: Finchester K20

Mount: Wyrm (+2 MOV, +12 STR for carrying units)

Wyrm Riders are rarely seen because their mounts aren't as durable and strong as Drakes. However, they make for good couriers and thanks to training in pistols, they can harass the enemy with fast attacks and then retreat from front lines.
Rarely exceling in anything, Wyrm Riders have a decent resistance; that's because Wyrms' scales are more resistant to ether energy.
