— Lowen to Eliwood
Lowen (ロウエン Rōen) is a playable character for Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is a fresh recruit of the Pheraean army, whom Marcus chooses to train personally.
Profile
Lowen was born to peasants in a poor village on the outskirts of Pherae. Although the village was far from the castle and had little worth saving, the knights protected the villagers from bandits. Inspired by their valor, Lowen aspired to become a knight himself, and traveled to the castle to begin his training as a squire. His father also became the chef for Eliwood's grandfather, the previous marquess of Pherae, until he threw out his back, and cooked for Eliwood's father Elbert later on.
Even though Lowen was a soldier, he followed in his father's footsteps and made sure that Eliwood was fed well up until he was chosen to go with Marcus on a journey to find Eliwood's father. While moving ahead to recruit able-bodied men in a nearby village to aid in Eliwood's expedition, he encountered pillaging bandits and subsequently rescued the archer Rebecca as well as the Tactician to enlist their help in protecting the villagers. Once the village was saved, Lowen continued his service to Eliwood by fighting for him under Marcus's command, which eventually resulted in fighting the Black Fang and Nergal, and then returned to Pherae afterward to become decorated for his accomplishments and continue his knightly career.
If Lowen reached an A support with Rebecca during the game's events, they will be married in their ending, and he will beget a green-haired son who is said to have inherited his father's chivalrous temperament and his mother's skill at archery.
Personality
Lowen is a very gentle but insecure person, who constantly berates himself despite possessing a lot of talent in both sword fighting and cooking. Nonetheless, he is incredibly determined as well, and does not let his shortcomings get the better of him, which is most evident when he spars with Marcus. Presumably, he is the army's cook, and is quite obsessed with staying full since he comes from a very poor village, even fainting when he heard Eliwood forgot to eat breakfast. According to the other Pheraeans, Lowen keeps emergency rations in his pack, in case he goes hungry while on the field.

Overview
Unlike most cavaliers, Lowen focuses on defense over offense. On average, Lowen will have remarkably high HP and Luck, and decent Defense making him a solidly defensive unit that is comparable to Hector or Oswin.
Inversely, his growths in all other areas are atrocious, resembling that of a pre-promote without the higher bases. Luckily, he has an early join time, so he can only keep improving and further decrease that possibility of being totally ineffective. However, Lowen has a wealth of excellent support options, and can either increase his decent Defense by supporting with Marcus and Eliwood, or improve his lackluster offensive game by supporting Rebecca or Eliwood for offensive affinity bonuses; the best aspect of supporting Lowen with Rebecca is that units that support each other get their partners support affinity bonuses and that of their own. Since Lowen has a fire affinity (The same affinity Rebecca carries), his damage output and critical bonus will rapidly rise making him more viable. It is recommended that you supplement Lowen with either an Energy Ring, Secret Book, or a Speedwing depending on which stats ended up alright and which ones ended up salvageable.It's not recommended to use him if he ends up with a vital stat like Strength or Speed being pitifully low as Kent and Sain excel in every aspect except his 40% defense growth and 30% Resistance growth.
Finally, Lowen has the best Constitution as both a Cavalier and a Paladin, and loses no Speed from equipping heavier weapons such as Steel Swords or Silver Lances unpromoted, and Hand Axes or Brave Swords after promotion.
