Dayan

"We Sacaeans pray to the Sky and the Earth. The light of day and the darkness of night that engulfs this land... They produce wind, lightning, fire, ice, and many other affinities... Every person on this planet is protected by one of the elements. According to my clan's beliefs, I am protected by the Anima affinity."

- Dayan to Jodel, in a support conversation

Dayan is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi. His nickname is the Silver Wolf and Roy can recruit him on the Sacae route.

He's the leader of the Sacaen Kutolah tribe, to which Rath and Guy belong, and also the father of Rath from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and the grandfather of Sue from Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi. He sends Sin to the other side of the world to look for Sue.

Leader of the Liberation Army, he tries to free Sacae from the double threat of Bern soldiers and Sacaen traitors; he can't hold back his enemies and despite the elimination of his clan, proceeds to weaken them by guerilla actions.

Overall
Dayan's stats are extremely low for a Level 12 promoted unit. His speed is average, but everything else is disappointing. Since Dayan's growths turn out to be severely sub-par, he is considered one of the worst characters in the game. If you wish, you can pass him up for Sue or Shin, who both end up at least above-average, even if they're a bit lacking in one or two categories each.
