Who are all the characters you can unlock for trial maps in FE6?

after beating FE6 for the first time (true ending, normal mode) I noticed that there was an option for trial maps. I had heard of these being unlocked after beating the game, but because of the emulator I used to use, it would mess with the save file, never really saving the game properly, so I had to rely solely on save states after loading one. Anyways, upon starting one up, I noticed a new character in my roster: Narcian! I knew there were certain characters and maps you unlock by fulfilling certain requirements (beat hard mode 3 times, etc.), and so my question is, Who are all the special characters you can unlock for use in trial maps, and how do you unlock them?

¹ The game must be cleared start to finished every time. Simply beating the story multiple times on a single save will not count towards the numbers cleared. 2
