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.

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 counter-attack 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. That said, Diarmuid is still predominantly a filler combat unit.
