In other classes accessible to Vartan such as Beast Master, he is "merely" very good. He loses some mobility with Archer compared to his native Vartan class, but due to having flight, he is not affected particularly hard, and can rain hell down from on high on basically any map. When switched into Archer (see below for more), he will likely be the strongest party member in your army. He has very good stats, decent weapon flexibility with his native class Vartan (Axes, Crossbows in general, and single handed bows) and great mobility augmented by his ability to fly. Parodied in this fanart ◊ with a piece of What the Hell, Player?.About half the fanart of this game is of her, and many new players choose to go with the Law route simply because Vyce kills her if you choose the Chaos route.

It's also revealed that he had another family of necromancers, which got killed by Denam over the course of the game (one of them is the very witch you brought down in Krizar back in Chapter 1), and kept the youngest daughter alive just so that he could show her the zombified versions of her family before ordering them to kill her. The PSP remake makes him even more monstrous, when in the Chaotic route, he organized a zombie attack in Balmamusa that killed Orias, his own daughter. When the process left Debordes as a hulking brute with no intelligence, Nybbas felt no remorse. When his son Debordes was killed by Barbatos, Nybbas didn't care, and even had his son turned into a zombie.
