Paladin (job)

The Paladin, sometimes referred to as a Holy Knight, is a special Job that appears in several games in the series. The Paladin is a sacred knight, and acts as a counterbalance to the Dark Knight. Paladins can equip most swords and armor, and use special swords that have been imbuned with sacred power, or the Holy element. They generally can use basic White Magic spells as well, and have the ability to protect allies whose HP are low.

Notable Paladins include Cecil Harvey of Final Fantasy IV and Beatrix of Final Fantasy IX.
