Defender (守護騎士 [shugo kishi] or 'protection knight' in Japanese) has so far had its only appearances in the Tactics Advance spinoff series. They are rather like Knights as a job, in that they are designed to be able to take a lot of damage. In fact, Defender might take this to extremes at times.
The Defender job is recognizable from its reddish brown armor color in default art. They use greatswords as their weapon of choice.
