Initiates are the lowest ranking members of the Brotherhood.

Initiates train and learn to become knights or scribes (or lancers). Once they finish their training, they choose their path of development.The Courier: "What do you mean decide for yourself?"Melissa Watkins: "I'm currently an Apprentice in the Brotherhood, and recently became eligible for Journeyman status. But first, I have to decide which Order I want to join - the Knights or the Scribes."(Melissa Watkins' dialogue)Thomas: "{120}{}{Are you sure you want to be a Scribe Initiate?}""{124}{}{You may want to reconsider a career as a Knight.}"(THOMAS.MSG)

A squire is the youngest member of the Brotherhood, expected to study and train in order to be granted the rank of initiate. Squires are, more often than not, children born into the Brotherhood, trained from a young age. There are a few exceptions where children not born into the Brotherhood have made it in.Danse: ""(BoSPaladinDanse.txt) Danse: "This school reminds me how education plays an important role in a squire's growth as a soldier."(Danse's dialogue)
