Is this even the right general for Silent Storm?

Cause I'm utterly fucking confused as to why the characters I've been, and with the highest levels of the recruits, have the LOWEST main stat out of everyone in their class. Like my Elf here has 42 in Hide while every other scout has it in the 100s. I noticed the same with Doug having 40-ish Engineering while the other guys had 80 minimum despite being 2 levels behind.
