“	I haven't given up, Nanna. Lord Lewyn said that our mother is still alive. We can go look for her together once this war is over. So don't cry...	”	— Diarmuid

Diarmuid (Japanese: デルムッド Delmud) is a prince of the Agustrian state of Nordion, and the eldest child of its princess Lachesis; his father's identity is unknown, but through his possession of the Beo's Sword is hinted to be the mercenary Beowolf. He was separated from his mother and raised in the Isaachian village of Tirnanog in the aftermath of the Battle of Belhalla, alongside Seliph of Chalphy and under the care of Oifey and Shannan. He was later one of the first members of Seliph's liberation army in Grann 777.

Canonically as defined by Thracia 776, Diarmuid is most likely Beowolf's son; however, in the gameplay of Genealogy of the Holy War, Diarmuid's father can be chosen just like any other character, and the game is non-specific about his father. If Lachesis was not married in the course of the first generation, Diarmuid's role is filled by Tristan.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Diarmuid and Lester* were on a scouting mission outside of Isaach with Oifey when the Dozel army launched an assault on Tirnanog, but arrived early on in the battle to assist Seliph in combating the occupation.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Diarmuid is a level 3 Free Knight who joins three turns into the first chapter of Genealogy's second generation. As Lachesis's child, he inherits Charm, which grants a +10 hit and avoid to all nearby allies, granting him a useful supportive utility. The skill can be stacked with his sister Nanna for up to +20 hit and avoid to allies; Lene's substitute, Laylea, also has the skill as well, and can stack hers alongside the siblings for +30 hit/avoid. He is also mounted, giving him versatile mobility at a time when most of your main fighters are footlocked, and his promotion gives huge bonuses to skill and speed. Diarmuid's primary disadvantage is that he does not have innate Follow-Up, as the one that Lachesis can eventually get is a class skill and not a personal one that can be inherited, which prevents him from doubling enemies slower than him. And while he can still gain the ability to attack twice once he gets Adept upon promotion, it's not as reliable as the more consistent Follow-Up skill.

For choices of fathers, Diarmuid would highly prefer one that has Follow-Up (as a personal skill) to pass down to him, so that his long-term combat can and remain strong and reliable throughout the rest of the game without needing to rely on the Follow-Up Ring. Beowolf is the best option, as he accomplishes that, along with giving him hefty a boost to his HP growth, an amazing 80% strength growth, two useful offensive skills in Follow-Up and Accost and can reliably acquire swords to pass down to him while also passing down balanced growths all-around, though Beowolf does not have any Holy Blood to further bolster the growth rates of any of his children. The other potential fathers with Follow-Up as a personal skill all have their varying benefits and demerits as Diarmuid's father as well. Midir cannot pass down bows and is generally considered a mediocre choice for most children. Finn gives Miracle, but will be forced to relinquish all of his belongings (including his lances, which Diarmuid cannot use) to his son and will be left with only a single Iron Lance when he reappears in Chapter 7, which will significantly cripple his ability to defend Leif and Nanna during the early stages of the chapter. Alec gives Nihil, removing Diarmuid's vulnerability to Horseslayers, but has no Holy Blood or any other useful skills to pass down. Azelle gives him a decent enough magic growth to put magic swords to decent use without hindering his strength growth and also benefits Nanna's role as a healer, though Azelle has better options, as none of them can use tomes.

If the player does not want to give Diarmuid Follow-Up in favor of other useful skills, there are some viable options. Lex gives Paragon, allowing Diarmuid and Nanna to reach their promotion faster and gives both children tanky growths. Dew gives Bargain, letting the two children buy stuff and repair weapons at shops at half price, though it should be noted that Diarmuid and Nanna will not get Dew's Sol, as the skill is restricted to infantry sword users.

Overall, Diarmuid has a lot of strength and can support allies well, but Follow-Up is of great importance to him.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Role

At the climax of the Friege siege of the newly-reclaimed Leonster Castle, Diarmuid arrived with Seliph's army to launch a counterattack against the Friege army and assist Leif's beleaguered army. Diarmuid was sent into the castle as a messenger to Leif, entrusting to him a letter stating Seliph's plan to assault Ulster, and subsequently escorted Leif to meet with Seliph and reunited with Nanna. After Leif and Seliph's meeting concluded, Diarmuid transferred into Leif's army to continue to aid Nanna.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Diarmuid is far from overpowered, but he is a decent contributor. His best combat trait is his FCM of 5, letting him guarantee a crit on the second attack with the right weapon. Diarmuid has an A-rank in swords both indoors and outdoors, and his dismount penalties are negligible outside of movement, so he can be useful on any map. He joins with a powerful personal sword called Beo's Sword, which has high might, high crit, and a high number of uses. Fergus can use it as well, but if Fergus is dead or untrained, Diarmuid is the only candidate for using it. The weapon also grants its wielder Vantage and Wrath, but since Vantage negates Wrath, the sword might as well only grant Vantage.

Diarmuid is an acceptable deployment choice for every map after he joins, and can even contribute in endgame; he can also use the Bragi Sword against Raydrik. Aside from combat contributions, Diarmuid has Charm, increasing the hit and avoid of allied units within three spaces of him by 10%. This means he can be helpful even if he never fights an enemy. His sister Nanna also has Charm, her bonus stacks with his and they have a mutual support. That said, Diarmuid is still predominantly a filler combat unit.
