Niefel Jarls can also cast Quickness on their own, and have a foot slot.
Forgot the Niefel Jarls - they're certainly up there too. One reason I consider the Tuatha to be the best, better than the Niefel, is the innate recuperation. Crippled Niefel Jarls and Van-lords aren't nearly as useful as a healthy Tuatha.
