Story and profile
Who they are
Nathan is one of Arago's generals, and with Creek he makes up the Twin Pillars of Arago. He is 190cm tall, loyal and straightforward. His red armour came from his king and he values it highly, along with any kind of battle training.
He joins in Part 2 and the guide ranks him C. Strength and Dexterity growths are 60%, HP is 55% and Defence 45%, so he hits hard and absorbs damage. Speed growth is only 25%, and that is what holds his rank down. Headlong Rush gives AS+3 and Hit+10 when he attacks first, which makes up a little of the gap on his own turn. He prefers Heavy, Rider and Spear skills, and his class path is Bardinger, then Great Knight; the guide author finds Bardinger weak and keeps most cavalry in Light Cavalry instead. Resistance growth is 15%, so keep him clear of mages.
