Jaffar
On Normal, he is slightly better then Legault,  On Hector's Hard Mode, he is slightly weaker then Legault.  Personally, he's my favorite character but you may find it difficult to keep him alive in Battle Before Dawn.  If you can keep him alive, and can get Nino next to him to talk to him, you will be given the option to undertake a sidequest if you keep Zephiel alive for all the necessary turns..  On the first turn of Night of Farewells, you get him.  If you decline the sidequest, you don't keep him alive, or Nino doesn't talk to him, you don't get him.

Damage - Jaffar maxes out Strength, but Assassins only can get a maximum of 20 Strength.  He has the highest damage out of all three Assassins.
Critical - He averages 14, which can be bumped up to 56.  He gets beaten out by 7 by Matthew if you give Matthew an A support and a B support as well as Killing Edge. Sadly, you have to give Jaffar a B support with Matthew since Legualt support gives no critical bonus to Jaffar.  So in most Hard Mode games, his critical will be 44.  There is a 33% chance that his Critical will instantly kill his enemy.
Speed - Jaffar has a very high speed, even though he doen't max, he still usually hits 2x.
Dodge - His dodge to start is 58, and it will end at 63, which isn't all that great.

Rating:  9.8/10.  He probably deserves a high 8 or low 9, but he's one of the best characters in Normal, and still exceptionally useful in Hard Mode.
