Jagen
Jagen is the first paladin you can recruit in the game and is a high ranking officer. He first appears in the prologue and at his level can easily overcome any enemy you face, however, in the long run his stats have little opportunity to actually increase compared to the other cavaliers and paladins so he is easily surpassed by them.
Epilouge:
After the war, Jagan laid down his lance and became one of Prince Marth's closest advisors.
