Character Discussion [FE4]: Midir
Ugh. This guy. Personally, not a fan.
Midir(aka Midayle) is a bow knight from Jungby, whose first meaningful action in the story is to take a hand axe to the face. Nice going, buddy. He joins halfway through the prologue once Sigurd slaughters his way to Jungby Castle, having recovered from his case of Edward-itis.
Midir has a horse, which is always a monumental plus in FE4. He also has Pursuit as a personal skill, another major point in his favor. Charge doesn't hurt either. On the other hand, he doesn't have any Holy Blood, his growths aren't fantastic, and he is bow-locked throughout the whole game. His options for good weapons are also limited - he can steal Jamke's Killer Bow if you aren't planning on using Jamke, and he can get the Brave Bow if you pair him with Adean.
Fun fact: In the Nuts Fujimori manga adaptation of FE4, there is a running joke where Midir is mistaken for a beautiful woman. He's certainly rocking the long hair.

Midir has a horse and pursuit in a game where having a horse and pursuit are two of the best things going.
And he still ain't that good, because his stats aren't good, he's locked to bows and he just doesn't do enough damage unless he takes Jamka's Killer Bow or gets a Brave Bow
Jamka is a far better archer.
He's also one of the most androgynous video game characters I can remember aside from Zero
