This is an easy choice for me. Matthew is my favorite, without a doubt. I love his character development, he's honestly one of my favorite characters in the entire series! I mean, I really like Legault as well, but Matthew gets such good development.

 

NOTE:

 

1: A character's starting class determines which list they go on. For prepromotes, what would have been their starting class in their game determines which list they go on. For example, Renault is a Bishop, but his starting class would have been a Monk if he wasn't a prepromote, so he goes on the Monk/Bishop list. Yodel, on the other hand, goes on the Priest/Cleric/Bishop list, he is a Bishop but in Binding Blade Monk was not a class so his starting class would have been a Priest.

 

2: If a character is not playable in the main story, they are not included.

Matthew is one of my favorite characters in the series, if not my favorite. He's useful as most thieves are early on, and can actually he a really good assassin. His personality is what makes him my favorite, though. He's like a cheerful, but sometimes serious type of guy. His supports with people like Guy and Oswin show that. And I'll never forget that scene where he sees Leila's dead body.

also I just want to mention Cath

not because she's good or anything just because fuck cath and her bullshit recruitment and stealing that has little payoff

she's an asshole in every way

and not even a likable way

I voted Chad. His growths were beastly in my FE6 playthrough. I'm not kidding, actually. His strength was suprisingly high.

Colm is really good too, though FE8 is really easy.

It's a shame thieves can't promote in FE6, Chad and Ashtol would probably be pretty solid assassins.

I like Astore better than Chad because of his really high bases. He requires less babying to do what Thieves do best: run around stealing and dodging.

Colm is better than both though. And I like all of the FE7 ones, so I can't decide either.

Matthew because he's the most interesting to me, character wise. I often end up benching him though because he doesn't want to cooperate.

I said Colm.I do like Matthew but I prefer Colm.

Colm is probably my third favorite, with Legault being my second and Matthew of course being my first.

Dang. 6 has some of my least favorite thieves, and Cath really does suck, but WOW. Talk about brutal honesty.

Matthew and Jaffar are two of my favorite characters in the entire series, I can't vote both though :<

HAHAHAHA! YOU MUST CHOOSE!

Ahem.

Seriously though, Matthew is one of my favorite characters in the series too. Not my absolute favorite, but definitely way up there. I like Jaffar as well, but...I dunno, his character doesn't seem as interesting to me.

Cath baits status staves because of how the game is programmed so there is that.

Also in regards to Jaffar, i'm a sucker for redemption stories.

I voted Chad because he's adorable, I really like his growth rates, personality, and supports. Chad is my beloved little shota thief. Astore is a close second.

Matthew. No if's or and's about it. Not just for character development, but also because he's always had that cool and collective kinda persona about him. And also a very friendly one too! That and he's been my most reliable thief in the series for me.

Colm second because of his abilities and his relationship with Neimi(because he does what he does for her sake).

Jaffar is third for his relationship with Nino(which is very cute) and a very capable assassin......that I don't use very often

Honerable mention to Chad and Leagult.

Voted for Chad! Besides the fact that he can't promote, he's got abhorrently good growths along with an absolutely lovable personality. Scrap son for life.

Honestly, though, I hold a lot of love for all the thieves- Cath and Matthew get honorable mention, as does Colm.

As much as I love Astore, I have to go with Legault here. I think he's a great character and a pretty good unit as well if you train him and he gets lucky with his strength. How good he is really depends on luck since he has a low strength growth, similar to Guy and Matthew.

Voted Legault. Statistically prefer giving him the Fell Contract, and love his supports. I do like Matt, just prefer Legault.

Also like many others, HATE Cath. She was so bad that we didn't get another female thief for 3 games. She could've joined much earlier, had better stats, or been more likable. Everybody else on the poll has at least one of these qualities, and even Heather is at least likable. But not her.

Ooh, there are a lot here. This is tough, because I'm comparing them along three axes (character, combat, and stealing), but here goes:

Colm > Legault > Jaffar > Chad > Rennac > Matthew

Unranked: Cath, Astore

Colm is just awesomely useful in Sacred Stones. I'm a sucker for thieves, and he's got the speed and lockpick to steal the deal. It's too bad that he can't steal once he promotes... wait, what's this? The emergence of a rogue class? Which doesn't even need lockpicks to open doors and chests?!? (hyperventilating begins) Yeah, I'll just say that Rogue Colm is one of my favorite units in SS, and move on.

Legault is my favorite thief in FE7. It's probably the purple hair. Plus, I like his design and personality. I actually haven't used him as an assassin, but when I need thieving, he gets the job done.

Jaffar, on the other hand, I like for combat. I also really like his integration into the story, and how he actually develops.Great design, too.He starts off strong and fast, making him a good swordmaster substitute, when I haven't raised one.

Chad, like all FE6 thieves, is cursed by his inability to promote. Nevertheless, he's got great growths, easy supports, and provides a valuable thieving service.

Remember all the nice things I said about the Rogue class? That's the only reason Rennac is above last. His personality and design are just okay in my book. His strength is low, but his high Res gives him a combat niche. I'll use him if I'm not using Colm.

Last is Matthew. Now, I don't dislike Matthew. I think his story, and background with Leila, is quite touching. However, he has a plain design, and I've just never felt compelled to take him all the way, especially after I get "The Hurricane".

Cath and Astore, I haven't really used, so I'm not ranking them.

Fuck FE6 for not making thieves able to promote. All of the thieves had such awesome growths. And I like Cath, but the requirements for getting her are dumb, which is probably why she's so low. ;~;

Of all the thieves, Leagult is my vote. Matthew had a good concept of the guy who stays away from combat and used his other skills, which is cool, but dear lord this guy is glass. He's still useful tho since Assassins can't steal. Rennac is a pussy who's is a pain in the ass to recruit, and Colm is a dick to Neimi. How DARE you get off when you make her sad?! >.<

Voted for Legault,because he can kill anything. Too much Rng bless on one playthrough made be a bit biased.Besides that his bases are good. Colm is also a very good option
