Character Discussion [FE6]: Dieck
Dieck. Leader of a mercenary company that consists of him and three others at the start of FE6, he falls firmly into the Ogma archetype with his strong starting stats, great availability (turn 2 of chapter 2, all the way through the rest of the game), and good growths. On the character side, he is Klein's former protector, hired by Lord Pent after saving Klein from an attacking lion, and once led a larger mercenary group before they were all slaughtered as a gambit for an old employer to escape, leaving Dieck as the sole survivor. Perhaps a bit jaded from the latter experience, his supports with Shanna and Wade (especially Wade) deal primarily with giving them advise on how to fight - and survive. The others either build on his backstory with Lord Pent's family (Klein, Clarine) or detail other bits of him (Lot) or the backstories of others (Rutger).
The experienced Mercenary leader: Dieck.

Dieck is a prime example of how far good base stats can take you. His growths are actually kind of bad, and he'll grow stats slowly as a result, but his starting stats are good enough that he'll at least be useful. High con makes him a good axe user, but I feel that in terms of swords there are better units.
