Catalena only female boss in game. (assuming a god has no gender perse)

[NTNP]

Wystan: Just outright, I don't really care much for him as a character. He speaks like twice and really offers no use other than to introduce the enemy forces. But with that being said, a fire using mage that joined the DB would be extremely useful throughout P3 and beyond. I don't even care if he had 20s for growths, just the ability to hit with an elfire or above against the laguz (and likely bringing down their HP to like 5-10) would be enough to make him a worth while addition. Giving him anything other than the normal mage -> sage-> archsage promotions would be silly though.

Ludveck: I feel like he could have easily be integrated back into the plot after P2 in order to give it a better semblance of continuity. If the story had played out that the Begnion forces chose to invade HIS town and he choose to fight with the Queen, whom he had begun to respect, because he would rather see an inferior ruler on the throne than for it to be taken over by the senators things could have really been interesting. Plus even half way through P3, his bases would still be high enough to give him a good chance of being used and his promotion to Marshall would work out just fine.

Veyona: Like what everyone else said, he seemed like a pretty cool character who was loyal to his commander, which was pretty nice. As a druid he would have made the inclusion of dark magic seem a lot more reasonable. Admittedly his bases (especially luck) are pretty bad, but that's the price that you have to pay sometimes. Baring that, it seems like he could work out as a pretty good member of the P3 band. His promotion should probably mirror that of Pelleas so he can just join the "archmage" class with access to dark magic.

Levail: Having him join up right at endgame would have worked quiet well. Having it where when Ike's group arrives at the tower that they see him, injured, coming down to warn them about how Ashera has gone mad and has summoned all the dragons to her cause would really have made it fit. He might be loyal to the ideals of Bengion, but the reality of seeing every mortal turned to stone was just too much for him to bear. All in all it would have made a very likeable and sympathetic character another useful filler unit akin to that of Renning (who in my opinion really should have joined in the laguz rush chapter instead of here).

Levail, Jarod and Hetzel, the only three bosses in the game that has any character development at all and would make a bit of sense if defected. Then again it's unrealistic these three would ever defect since they're all extremely loyal to their bosses. Levail was actually going to be recruitable during game development but was cancelled in the final version of the game.
I found it weird that Catalena is the only female boss in the entire game. Radiant Dawn is too masculine perhaps? Pretty much all enemy units are male too, except a few pegasus riders.
Though the only boss I feel sorry for is Levail, good thing killing him is optional, but I really want that Wishblade.
Oh and that nerdy looking wind mage boss with the duh! eyes in the cave level with Lucia would be a fun guy to recruit, simply because he has funny lines and the funniest portrait.

Veyona it seems like he was meant to recruitable at one point development in my opinion (I don't anything in the game data suggests this, but just based on how he hated the senators and he didn't seem like that bad of a guy, Ike could have easily talked to him and he would be willing to join)

[Nemitri]

Veyona, druids, just,look,soooooo cool in this game! too bad you see like 5 total, such a shame, good model and all.

I found it weird that in RD you can't play as a Druid or Summoners... Brigand/Bandit used to be the only class you can't play as...

[Mar-Mar]

Wystan. Although I'd change him to a wind mage so the dawn brigade could have all four types of mages.

Maraj? =D

[ClLoulD]

Levail and Jarod even though they are both the same class :/ but I would be more interested in the character development than anything else.

I would also pick Hetzel because it would be nice if he got to live

[I don't play for turns]

Burton and Zaitan, because part 1 has no good armors and horsies.

[Dr. Silent]

Goran - Nice base stats, Warriors kick ass. However, I'd prefer it if, when defeated in 3-11, he'd just retreat instead of dying, and would then be available in the upcoming Micaiah chapters. It wouldn't make sense for him to join the Apostle's Army.

Veyona - Base stats are nothing much to look at, but maybe he could have really good growths to make up for it? Much like Pelleas, really, only with the exception of actually being possible to raise before 4-E without wasting BExp on any difficulty not called Easy.

Ludveck - I was really disappointed that he wasn't even mentioned again after Part 2. The game never really elaborated on what eventually became of him. Seemed to want the best for Crimea, thus it would possibly make sense for him to join up with the Apostle's Army. His stats were good enough for him to be usable (although the issue arises of where in Ike's team he would fit in as it's full of uber units already). Plus, he could be given some sort of ironic lulz epilogue if he has an A support with Lucia.

Maybes:

Levail - Pretty much the Shiharam of Radiant Dawn. In other words, a boss you don't want to kill but have no choice (well, you do with Levail, but not killing him does nothing to alter the story and it means you don't get the best weapon in the game). Character-wise, it would be understandable if he joined up with Ike and Micaiah, since he's a decent chap who probably doesn't want the world to be destroyed and all that.

Septimus - Gotta feel sorry for this guy, and he ain't that bad a unit. Of course, you couldn't imagine him joining up with the sub-humans, could you?

Catalena - If recruited, she'd actually be usable, unlike the other Pegasus Knights (exception - Easy mode, as always), as she has good stats. Unfortunately, she's a psychotic zealot in favour of the wrong goddess.

[Talsian]

Pain or Agony from 1-4. It would be nice for the DB to have a true laguz (not one with wildheart) on the team.

[dondon151]

Pain or Agony from 1-4. It would be nice for the DB to have a true laguz (not one with wildheart) on the team.

except wildheart makes volug actually good in part 1

because otherwise he'd have to wait 2 turns to shift and then the chapters would have already been demolished by sothe

[Anouleth]

More than 2 turns, since you don't get any Olivi Grass until Vika joins.

[Talsian]

How does the DB function if you have Sothe killing everything?

[RNG Princess]

Levail I didn't want him to die.
Veyona, I wanted a druid.
The guy who is afraid of laguz, I thought he was funny.

[Freedom'sArrowLeonardo]

There's a ton of cool bosses out there, but I'd have to narrow it down to Hetzel and Levail. They stand out to me simply because I don't think either should have died.

[mimgrim]

Zelgius should have joined them I think instead of dying but done like Sephiran, has to be on second play through (or third or fourth ect...) and certain conditions need to be done so he joins and also only joins if Sephiran is going to be possible to recuit to, this way there wouldn't be to much in the way of conflicting loyalties for him except in the when you first get him in part 2 of end game.

[Liquid Snake]

Jarod and Alder
Veyona
Levail

[Esme]

Veyona
Hetzel
Jarod
