**Theodor** is a playable character in *Andaron Saga*. He is a knight of House Rose and staunch protector of Aylanda, long-lost nephew of Samuel and cousin to Lilinette and Christina.

## Personality

Theodor is a diligent and devoted knight, most of his decisions and actions hovering around Aylanda. Since being her guarding for over 5 years, her safety was his top priority, and he would get very defensive whenever anyone with malicious or inappropriate intentions tries to get close to her, as was his dynamic with Baudimon when they first met. In fact, Theodor is naturally on edge and easy to anger, which becomes especially prevalent when he’s drunk, as he reveals that his devotion to Aylanda extends much deeper, as it is an unrequited love and lust for her. His selfless desire to shield Aylanda was also a selfish desire to have her for himself. Over time, however, he starts to mellow down and treats Aylanda as an individual and not an object of lust, and starts to become overall more selfless and serene.

## In Game

### *Andaron Saga*

#### Recruitment

He will leave the party after Ch. 7 but will be re-recruited automatically on turn 2 of Ch. 9.

#### Overall

Along with Baudimon and Aylanda, Theodor falls into the Oifey stereotype, being a pre-promote of several levels above your party while still having the growths to keep up with the rest of your party. He has stellar strength and magic growths to become a mixed damage dealer, good enough speed to grow and double relatively consistently, and his defense is non-negligible that he won’t be a sitting duck against counterattacks or being initiated on. However, he does have poor luck that won’t growth very much, so he won’t be able to dodge all the time and is susceptible to critical hits unless you give him the holy symbol from chapter 5.

He does fall into a slightly rough spot as in the point where he is recruited, his high level and low experience gain makes him hard to fit into a deployment slot. Additionally, some of your army may already be trained to a point where their stats will match his and will simply grow faster than Theodor. In comparison to the two other Oifey pre-promotes of Act 1, Baudimon is a forced deployment and has the Dawncalled regalia, giving him magic 1-2 range like Theodor with the nice addition of self-healing and resistance boost. Aylanda being a healer already elevates herself leagues above Theodor, and she also gets access to powerful regalias, each enhancing her utility. All Theodor gets is the Dire Thunder tome if he wasn’t killed before Chapter 9, which is a brave Thunder tome that has shaky hit rate and mildly high weight, so coupled with his low experience gain he may not have enough speed to quad.

However, Theodor is one of two units that have options for two regalias: the Rosethorn lance or the Alastair Thunder tome. By landing the killing blow on Samuel during chapter 14 while they have an A-support, Theodore gets access to the Rosethorn, which passively grants +10 spd and def, making theodor a fast physical brawler. The lance also grants the Impale skill, which has a skill% chance to triple unit’s next attack, similar to a critical hit. Theodor is in competition for Christina for wielding the lance if she was trained, but Theodor better makes use of the Impale skill as he gets the Determination skill in chapter 19, which increases Impale’s chance to proc by 30% provided Theodor is under 50% hp. As for Alastor, it is essentially a stronger Dire Thunder with the Vantage skill, so Theodor will always be able to strike twice in a row regardless of who initiates if he’s below half health, but the tome’s 18 weight makes it even harder to quad. He is in competition with Lilinette for it, but she won’t even be able to use the tome if the two don’t have an A-support, where Lilinette will be able to use anima magic.
