Background:
Diarmuid Ua Duibhne was a skilled warrior and valued Knight of the Fianna. The Irish mythological hero is claimed to have single-handedly kill over 3,000 warriors in a battle to save his friend and leader Fionn mac Cumhaill and the other members of the Fianna. Diarmuid's Father is Donn, a god of the dead, making the skilled warrior a demigod of Irish Mythos.
One of Diarmuid's greatest legends is the one of his demise. Fionn was an aging man, set to marry the daughter of Cormac Mac Art. Gráinne was under the impression she was to wed one of the sons of Fionn and not the old man himself. Upset with this choice of marrying someone so old, she decided she would not marry him and instead one of the warriors of Fianna. Gráinne drugged the wine that her guests would drink from save a select few and asked if they would take her hand instead. Diarmuid objected to the idea because his closest friend and leader was Fionn, but Gráinne imposed a geis upon him that he must. Diarmuid left with Gráinne knowing that his leader and friend would hunt him down for this betrayal.
The two had fled to the forest where Diarmuid's Foster Father Aengus, god of love and youth, offered his aid in protecting the couple from the wrath of Fionn. Aengus interceded on behalf of the couple and Fionn pardoned the two, allowing them to live in peace. Diarmuid and Gráinne lived happily together, having many children. Gráinne convinced Diarmuid one time to invite Fionn and the Fianna to a feast where Fionn would go on a boar hunt with Diarmuid. Diarmuid brought his spear Gae Buide and his short sword Beagalltach, not his best weapons, and the sword broke when trying to strike down the boar that impaled him. Diarmuid was on death's door after the boar's attack but Fionn could save him. Water that was drank from Fionn's hands had the power to heal but twice the aged Leader of the Fianna let the water slip between his fingertips before Diarmuid could drink. The third time he was going to let Diarmuid drink from his hands and heal, but the warrior had already passed from his wounds.
Personality:
Diarmuid is an extremely proud and noble knight who wishes to serve his lord and master to the best of his abilities. The curse laid upon him by Gráinne was taken by Diarmuid as a test and did not blame her for her choice to forsake her life to be with him. He didn't even hate Fionn, his friend and leader, when he was dying and Fionn had refused to let him drink from his hands. He holds strict chivalrous codes to his heart and adheres to them. His pride as a Knight of Fianna is everything to him. He upholds the strict rule of honor during battle and would never attack a weakened enemy or master that is unable to fight back.

Parameters
Strength - B+
Endurance - B
Agility - A
Mana - D
Luck - E
Noble Phantasm - A
Skill(s):
Magic Resistance - A+ | A modern day Magus would be unable to harm Diarmuid, and even a Command Seal could be temporarily stopped if Diarmuid hated the command enough.
Riding - B | Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill, even vehicles that did not exist in the time period one was alive in, for they are no exception. However, cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as
Monstrous Beasts.
Mana Burst (Leap) - A | Raised by the gods, Diarmuid acquired superhuman jumping power. Manifesting as a Saber he possesses this Skill, but in exchange, his Agility parameter is lower than it was when he was a Lancer. He can explosively gain mobility by releasing mana, simultaneously improving his offensive ability.
Honor of the Knights of Fianna - B | Diarmuid's unique resolution. Taking form as the strongest knight's mentality.
Weapon(s):
Moralltach (Great Fury) - A demonic sword given to him from the God of the Sea, Mananan mac Lir. A sword that was told to bring certain death and another certain victory for Diarmuid. Once unsheathed the sword could warp destiny itself to bring Diarmuid almost certain victory and death to his opponents. Even with such a powerful weapon in his arsenal, he would only use this in life or death matters.
Beagalltach (Little Fury) - The second demonic sword to be given to Diarmuid, paired with Moralltach. This sword has no known abilities, just a complimentary pairing to the powerful Moralltach. Diarmuid would use Beagalltach and Gae Buidhe when dealing with lesser threats.
Noble Phantasm
Moralltach - Surging Seas of Fury - Anti-Unit
When Diarmuid releases Moralltach's True Name, he makes use of a super-jump beyond human comprehension to perform a skydrop attack. At this time, Moralltach, resembling the "leg of the god Manannan's" from the legends, becomes the three blades to tear the enemy into pieces.
