This is our last chance to die as we've lived. Rousing Speech: Gives a pretty damn good one to his troops before their final battle with Micaiah's forces.Purple Is Powerful: Wears purple instead of the usual Begnion red, and is the most dangerous adversary in the first quarter of the game.Pet the Dog: His relationship with his soldiers, particularly his best friend, make him far more human than most villains in this game.Rather than surrender and likely be executed, he rallies his men and prepares to go out in one last blaze of glory. Last Villain Stand: Jarod knows he's a dead man as Micaiah closes in on his position.His Rousing Speech to his soldiers is pretty much this trope. With another failure on his shoulders, he retreats to Daein Keep, kills the emissary who relayed Begnion's orders to him, and then decides to kill as many people as he can in Daein's capital city, Nevassa through the use of indiscriminate catapult strikes. He attempts an assassination on Micaiah but is thwarted by none other than the Black Knight. After receiving orders from Begnion to stand down and await the Apostle's inspection team, which will end with him and his troops being tried and executed for committing numerous war crimes and abuses against the people of Daein, Jarod refuses to sit and wait for his inevitable end. The Last Dance: A scary example of what a villain put in this situation can be capable of.Kick the Dog: After receiving orders to stand down from Sanaki, he decides to retake control of Daein Keep and kill as many Daein civilians as possible out of sheer spite towards Micaiah.Just Following Orders: Not that he or Micaiah really believe that it's much of an excuse.Jerkass: He kills underlings he deems incompetent, and is generally an unpleasant man.Four-Star Badass: General of the Begnion Occupation Army, and undeniably badass- the Black Knight can't actually kill him in one hit unless he activates Eclipse, unlike every other character in Part 1 (not that it will save him, since the Black Knight doubles him).The Farmer and the Viper: After getting spared from death by Micaiah in order to bury his soldiers he uses it as an opportunity to kill Sanaki's emissary and firebomb the Daein capital.Face Death with Dignity: His Last Stand is one final attempt at doing so.Evil Redhead: Red haired, and is one of the leaders of a brutal Occupation Army.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His best friend took a hit from The Black Knight for him.Disc-One Final Boss: He's the man you've been fighting for the entirety of Part 1, but his death means little to the overall plot.And then there's his last words (see I Regret Nothing) which are pretty much the verbal equivalent of spitting in the Dawn Brigade's collective faces. Defiant to the End: Abandoned by Numida and the Senate, with the countryside in open revolt, Jarod barricades himself in Daein Keep, commences launching a barrage of stones into the streets on civilians, and waits for Micaiah to arrive, hoping that if he kills her he can still salvage something from all this.Justified, given that by that point in the story he is a dead man walking and has nothing left to lose anyway. Bullying a Dragon: He is not intimidated by the Black Knight, even when the Black Knight can take on his entire ambush party.Badass Normal: He fights against the mystically-empowered Black Knight with just steel and skill, and can do better against him than anyone else in the army.At Least I Admit It: Said not by Jarod himself, but by Micaiah when she points out that while Jarod was a bastard, he was at least open and honest about it, unlike Numida and Lekain.Asskicking Leads to Leadership: In a country whose vast majority of commanding officers are either nobles or mercenaries, it says something that this man got his rank on skill alone.Arc Villain: In Part 1, he is the commander of the corrupt occupation army opposing Micaiah.
