{{analysis}}
Harken has good base stats that can even be useful as late as the final chapter regardless of the mode one is playing. He can immediately contribute at a very high level, and while his growths are not as high as comparable early-game units, they are more than acceptable. The hero class offers fantastic utility which warrants using him in almost any play-through. He is worth the effort for recruitment due to his 1-2 range and preferable stat-spread (his only significant deficit is speed, which is already sufficient to double most enemies) that gives him far greater utility for almost any playthrough. While not of great significance, his Fire Affinity can increase the offense of both himself any of his support partners greatly. Overall, Harken is a useful character and starts out very strong, and will stay strong throughout the rest of the game.
Harken has good base stats that can even be useful as late as the final chapter regardless of the mode one is playing. He can immediately contribute thanks to his base stats, and while his growths are not as high as comparable early-game units, they are more than acceptable. He also has good weapon ranks in swords and axes, and can wield handaxes to counter at 1-2 range. While not of great significance, his Fire Affinity can increase the offense of both himself any of his support partners greatly. The only thing he lacks that he would otherwise want is a mount. Overall, Harken is a useful character and starts out very strong, and will stay strong throughout the rest of the game.
 
====Comparison to Karel====
While Harken's class may make comparisons to [[Raven]] inevitable, a more practical comparison takes place between Harken and [[Karel]]; as only one can be recruited, there exists a decision that the player must make. Both come at level&nbsp;8, and both come with some of the rarest weapons in the game: Harken has the only obtainable [[Brave Sword]] (which can be used by any sword user) and Karel has one of only two [[Wo Dao]]s (which are restricted to being useable by only [[Myrmidon]]s, [[Swordmaster]]s, and a promoted [[Lyn]]). Statwise, Karel has superior skill, speed, luck, and resistance, as well as superior growths in skill, speed, and luck, but potential difficulty in surviving attacks and dealing high raw damage. Karel's constitution of 9 is also lower than Harken's constitution of 11, though neither will have issues doubling.
 
Karel's [[Swordmaster]] class comes with an extra 15% boost to critical hits, whereas Harken's Hero class allows him to wield both swords and axes, allowing him to potentially negate or take advantage of the weapon triangle. Also, Harken can wield Hand Axes for a 1-2 range option, while Karel can only use the Light Brand, which—as implied earlier—is very rare, expensive and weak, or the [[Runesword]], which is even rarer than the Light Brand (it is only obtainable in a [[Hector]]'s Tale-exclusive Gaiden chapter extremely late in the game) and cannot be used to inflict critical hits. Adding further to the rift between the two is the Hector [[Hard Mode]] boost; Harken gains additions in many of his stats in Hector Hard Mode due to starting off as an enemy, whereas Karel receives no such benefit due to appearing as an NPC.
 
Another factor to consider is the requirements for their appearance: whether to kill enough enemies or open enough doors for Karel to appear, or to kill few enough enemies or open few enough doors for Harken to appear. Players who make a habit of finishing chapters as quickly as possible will find that it requires a good deal of restraint to keep two of the three promoted enemies alive in Kenneth's chapter for Harken rather than to kill them for Karel. In Jerme's chapter, on the other hand, even players who make a habit of finishing chapters as quickly as possible will find some difficulty in unlocking enough buildings quickly enough to spawn Karel. In short, Karel is easier to recruit in Kenneth's chapter and Harken in Jerme's.
 
Overall, Harken is better than Karel stat-wise due to his 1-2 range and his better offensive stats, particularly on Hector Hard Mode.

==Personality==
Harken is a very troubled individual before joining the army, he already hides a seriously damaged self-esteem, and greatly fears that he'll be questioned or hated if it's known that he served a cruel lord, which also explains why he lost it so badly upon not being able to aid a master who treated him kindly without caring about his shady past. His suicidal tendencies are only matched by his self-worth troubles coming from his blurry background and his love for his fiancée, Isadora, who he promised to marry once the war was over and he returned.

Though both desired to be together, they could not bring themselves to end their service to their lords, and so they parted ways. That was the last time Harken ever heard Vaida’s voice.
