Overview
Coming with the Charisma skill, Diarmuid will always be able to support your other units, but if his father does not pass down the Pursuit skill, he will not be an ideal fighter.

Beowolf, Azelle, and Finn are considered to be the best fathers for Diarmuid, but he will do just fine as long as he inherits the Pursuit skill. Despite the fact that Azelle is of the Mage class, Diarmuid's Strength will not suffer any repercussions, as this is thankfully offset by Raquesis' Minor Hezul Holy Blood. Additionally, Azelle's Minor Fala Holy Blood will enable Diarmuid to be a formidable unit with any Magic Sword he wields.

Dew can make a good father, bestowing great Strength, other great growths, and good base stats. However he may not be able to pass down the Pursuit skill even if he is promoted. There would also not be much point to passing down the Bargain skill to Diarmuid because money should not be a problem for him. Alec can provide similar stats, but will not be as good.

Midayle can also make a good father, passing down the same skills as Beowolf and a better Speed growth. However Diarmuid's HP, Strength, Skill, and Luck will suffer, although the Strength loss will not matter much because he will most likely cap it anyway.

Conversations
In Chapter 7, Oifey may speak to Diarmuid, and Diarmuid will gain one point of Strength, one point of Skill, and one point of Defense.

In Chapter 7, Diarmuid may speak to Nanna, and Nanna will gain one point of Luck.

Overview
Think of Delumd as a weaker, more support oriented version of Felgus. He has higher Movement, and stats almost comparable to Felgus at similar levels. Regardless of which, he still makes for a useful unit, with slightly above average stats for his level. However, as he joins Leif's army relatively late into the game, he will often be completely overlooked. He will end up being an above average fighter, and when coupled with the Beo Sword, will be capable of taking out quite a number of enemies on his own. Furthermore, he will be able to provide noticeable bonuses to other units within two spaces, further enhancing his usefulness as a unit on the battlefield.

Ending
Diarmuid - The Charismatic Knight (カリスマの騎士 Karisuma no kishi)

After the war, Diarmuid accompanied his cousin Ares to Agustria. With their hard work, Agustria was united and led to prosperity.

Quotes
"Lord Leif... Please take care...of Nanna..."

- Diarmuid's death quote in Thracia 776.

Etymology
Diarmuid was a warrior of Fianna in Irish mythology.

Trivia

 * There is a minor script error that occurs in Genealogy of the Holy War during the conversation between Oifey and Diarmuid in Chapter 7 if Finn is Diarmuid's father. While discussing Nanna, Diarmuid says "I heard she was with a knight of Leonster named Finn", implying that Diarmuid is unfamiliar with Finn or the fact that Finn is his father. Given that Lewyn explains Raquesis' actions following the Belhalla Massacre to Diarmuid, it seems odd that neither he nor Oifey (who knows Finn) would mention to Diarmuid that Finn was his father, particularly since they are both presumably aware that he is alive. It is safe to assume that this was simply overlooked.
