Once you've created your first TBS2 save file, you can go back to TBS1 and finish it with the other character so that you can start a second new game and import your second character for a second save slot. You will need to play through to the end of TBS1 with Rook or Alette as the survivor then import the save to begin your TBS2 run so that you create a save slot with them. While playing as Bolverk's caravan, try to buy as many decent items as you can to make Iver's caravan in TBS3 a lot easier. Having Stravh's Bond from TBS2 is also highly recommended as it once again makes Alette almost unstoppable. When playing through TBS2, you can have a maximum of 1,000 Renown at one time so spend it and rank up a fighter or two if you're getting close to that cap. In TBS2 all of your characters start at rank 3, but all renown and kills from your TBS1 run will carry over. Only get them up to rank 2 (maybe 3 for Gunnulf and Iver for that extra power) while still spreading out kills as much as you can between them. During this playthrough, pick a few specific characters to focus on (I went with Mogr, Gunnulf, Iver, Egil, Rook, Alette, Oddleif and Truggvi).

Allow Eirik to return to Strand when given the chance - You will find some villagers hiding in a hatch.

When given the option, choose to save the Dredge baby (TBS 1).

There are also specific choices you need to make during your runs to ensure the best outcomes in Banner Saga 3. Rook/Alette, Gunnulf, Ludin, Hakon, Mogr, Aleo, Egil, Griss, Yrsa, Hogun, Mogun, Nid, Tryggvi, Oddleif, Ro'Ech, Scathach, Derdrui, Canary, Fasolt, Petrus, Gudmundr, Eirik, Zefr, Iver, Bersi, Krumr, Sigbjorn, Folka, Oli, Sparr, Bak, Dytch, Eyvind and Juno

From what I have been able to find the characters you MUST have when you start TBS3 are. The reason you want to play through both games again is because one achievement in particular requires you end the game with all possible characters still alive.
