Old man Jagen. The knight who began the long tradition of kick butt old men who lose steam towards the endgame. The interesting thing is that Jagen archetype characters usually are among your best units despite eventually falling off. As you would expect Jagen excels in the early-game where his base stats are superior to everybody else. He also has weapon ranks going for him (silver lance says hi). Jagen is also in a game where forges exist so giving him a forged Silver Lance or a Ridersbane is par for the course. Jagen will continuously one round KO stuff with said forges for a while. How long Jagen remains useful depends on which difficulty you're playing in. In H2 for example Jagen will still be useful up until Chapter 18. In H5 he drops off a little earlier but compensates for it by virtue of being in a game with significantly stronger enemies. If Warpskip is taken into account he's even better. Jagen also has access to reclassing to a wyvern knight which ups his durability and gives him access to axes.
With all that being said Jagen WILL eventually lose steam sooner or later. Once the rest of your army builds up you won't have much use for him. Also, his growths are terrible:
HP - 40 %
Strength - 20 %
Skill - 35 %
Speed - 15 %
Luck - 30 %
Defense - 20 %
Resistance - 0 %
Like I said, terrible. That begin said, Jagen is still clutch early on and is still a major contributor to your army in the early game and probably will be one of your best units even in the mid-game hence the # 9 spot.
