The Thief Fighter (シーフファイター Shīfu faitā) is a combat physical class that is unique to the Jugdral Series of Fire Emblem. The original promoted form of Thieves, this class wields Swords as its primary weapons of choice. Essentially, Thief Fighters are Thieves who, while still assigned the main job of stealing items and money, now have the ability to not only properly defend themselves, but even fare well in some offensive situations. In later titles, Thief Fighters are replaced with Assassins, Rogues, and Tricksters.
