Arum. He's one of the most ridiculous lords in the series (but doesn't get this respect because people like to pull the bullshit "But I haven't played FE2" excuse like they think that's actually a good excuse). At the start of FE2, literally everyone except Arum (Luka too, I suppose), who is kicking ass and not dying. His growths, while they don't seem impressive, are fucking fantastic in FE2. He gets 2 powerful Prf weapons (both restore 5HP at the start of the turn) over the course of the game (and this is FE2, where weapons have unlimited uses), and he gets bows when he promotes (though the promotion is a bit late). Getting bows on promotion is awesome in FE2, where the good bows all have 1-5 range.
