The Trueblade (剣聖, Kensei, meaning "sword saint") class, also referred to as the Sword Eschatos (ソードエスカトス, Sōdo Esukatosu) class in Japan, is a very advanced sword-using class exclusive to Radiant Dawn. It is the last in a rare three-stage promotion line, starting with the Myrmidon class, then the Swordmaster class, and finally the Trueblade.

Etymology
Kensei (剣聖) was a title given to a swordfighter (剣士, kenshi) of legendary skill. It is even higher in prestige than the title 剣豪 (kengou, "great sword"), which was bestowed upon great swordfighters.
The word "trueblade" seems to be only a creative invention by the translators of Fire Emblem. The Japanese name, Sword Eschatos, combines "sword" and the Greek word έσχατος (eskhatos), meaning "furthest" or "extreme".[1]
Trivia
The title 剣聖 (Kensei) is the same title given to both the Crusader Odo and the master swordsman Karel after his change of heart.
