This old man injects too much coke
and makes Fire Emblem 1 a joke
with a knick-knack patty whack
he'll rip off your cat's head.
This man's the reason why everybody's dead.
TA-DA!
So when I originally created this list I was going to put FE 3 Merric over Soren but Sagit Heim corrected me and not only did it turn out that Soren was way better, Sagit explained that Wendell was way better than Merric. Naturally I had to bump Merric off the list and replace him with this old fellow. So you're probably wondering why in the flying crap is Wendell this high up the list?
Well, for starters Wendell has the obvious advantage of joining you in Chapter 5 of FE 1, just like he does in Shadow Dragon so obviously he's got fantastic availability. In case you haven't noticed, this has been an issue for candidates 5 - 8. They all join around half-way through their games whereas old man Wendell is with you from the beginning.
Wendell also joins your army with a weapon level of 10 in Fire Emblem 1. What does this mean? Well before Holy War came around, weapon levels were a number with a growth like all your other stats. Also, unlike Holy War, weapon levels were across the board so if you had a weapon level of 10, it would be a weapon level of 10 for both staves and tomes. You want to know who else comes with a weapon level of 10 in Fire Emblem 1? Jagen. Yeah, the other old guy who starts the game with the ability to wield Silver Lances. A weapon level of 10 is enough to allow Wendell to use EVERY SINGLE TOME AND STAFF (that isn't prf ranked) in the game. Wendell can wield the Starlight tome (a.k.a the tome with the highest weapon level in Fire Emblem 1) from the get-go. He basically starts Fire Emblem 1 out with an S rank in tomes and staves. Wendell's Shadow Dragon counterpart, by contrast, only starts out with a B rank in tomes and a D rank in staves which isn't anywhere near as impressive by contrast.

| Nothing like the original am I right? |
Wendell is considered a great warp-bot in Fire Emblem 1, which is an overwhelming advantage that he has over not only his Shadow Dragon counterpart, but over the rest of his competitors ranked below him. The real defining advantage though is that in addition to being a great warp-bot, he's also a fantastic fighter too. Sagit Heim was kind enough to provide me with a statistical analysis of Wendell's combat abilities from Chapter 5 onward. The analysis down below was all done by Sagit Heim. Feel free to take a bow Sagit Heim, you did an amazing job. Feast your eyes on this my fellow Fire Emblem fans:
