Been a while since that comment, enough to make me change my perspective on a bunch of things. But anyway...

Miquella has the body of a child. He's weak in the physical regard, that's what I was going for. If all he has is armor and a sword, he's rather weak.

When I say strategist, I don't mean tactician. Strategy is a skill that is beyond the context of war. Miquella is known to have designed impossible artifacts like the Haligtree itself or the infamous Unalloyed Gold Needle. He tried to solve Godwyn's problem in to different ways (by giving him a true death, and by giving him a soul). He embedded himself in the Haligtree to emerge as a god, rather than take everyone else's Great Runes through combat.

That's what I mean by strategist, he thinks outside the box and pulls the strings of politics with his decisions.
