Mercenaries are recruitable party members in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time that require special tasks to obtain. When found and the requirements are met, the mercenary can then be added to the party by visiting the Adventurers' Guild in the Town. They appear as both genders of each race, and are usually focused in a single area or aspect at various levels (notably Rid Dek is at level 1 and Elen Dok is level 99).
