I haven't gotten very far in Ogre Battle: Person of Lordly Caliber (or FFT, admittedly), but Algus has a pretty obvious equivalent in the form of Eurynome Rhade, I think. Check it out! But maybe I'm wrong.

Anywho, as for FFT characters I dislike, it's hard to really say without having played much of the game. Argus is the only character I can think of who I really disliked from what I played.
