Analysis

Astore will most likely be the best thief you recruit in the entire game - which in reality only means he is subpar at best. The fact that thieves cannot promote in The Binding Blade combined with the fact that Astore is recruited at level 10, means that he will only have ten levels to grow before he caps his stats. This will not hinder him too badly, as his base stats and growth rates are still high enough to keep him relevant, but it definitely limits his potential. Even so, Astore's base speed of 15 and his speed growth of 50% should allow him to do his only, essential purpose: stealing.

Despite his weaknesses, Astore is still significantly better than your two other options for thieves: Chad and Cath. Both Chad and Cath's base stats are much lower than Astore's when you recruit them, and raising either is hard as you will primarily use them as lockpick utilities rather than combatants. Cath is especially impractical, as her recruit requirement is notably difficult - talk with Roy in three different chapters - but she will still carry the same base stats as Chad who already joined your army automatically in Chapter 3. Simply put, Astore is far superior than either Chad or Cath.

Astore is the best option for thief utility, but he is not much more than that, being weaker than other sword fighters.

Personality and character

Astore, despite his important role as Ostian spy, is somewhat lazy and uncaring of the world around him; he dismisses orders to hasten his movements with casual sarcasm. The injury to his leg that impedes his movement serves to intensify his apathy to keeping up with the troops.

Astore likes to tease others to an extent; he constantly would end his story to Lilina about meeting Hector at the more exciting parts. He does eventually tell her the whole tale about him stealing from Ostia and being offered a job by Hector due to his skill. Astore respected Hector highly, and was hit hard by his death, even drinking himself to drunkeness in the middle of a battle with little regard for his safety. Considering Hector's death occurs before Astore is recruited, his apathetic behavior towards himself and others during his time in Roy's forces may have been caused or increased by the death of Hector.

Astore seems to still care about his former wife Igrene, but he refuses to acknowledge that he is Gorlois, and blatantly lies to her about his identity. She specifically asks to see his leg, looking for a scar, though he insists he does not have any. He openly discusses his scar to others; making his lie clear. Astore first met Igrene in Nabata while suffering severe injuries and amnesia; Astore took the name Gorlois and they lived together for several years after this, even having a child. Eventually, Astore regained his memories and recalled his identity as a spy. Astore quickly realized the danger he had put Igrene in, he was a spy with Ostian secrets, and others would hurt him and his loved ones for that information. Astore left Nabata and his love behind for her safety.
