History
"By your leave, captain."

- Colton

Colton served as a subordinate of Troy and the commander of the Kooluk Empire's second fleet during the Island Liberation War. He had swore allegiance to the Empire and all his actions were taken out of his loyalty to his country.

This loyalty meant that only did Colton fight for the Empire during the Island Liberation War, he would also investigate and, with Troy, try to maneuver around the disturbing plans of Graham Cray as well. As commander of the 2nd Kooluk Fleet he was also a lead figure in the Kingdom of Obel's occupation.

Following his defeat, Colton would be captured by the Allied Forces and taken aboard the Headquarters Ship where he would remain silent for the remainder of the war, although he was not unhappy to see Graham Cray defeated.

He was the father of Helmut, who would visit him sometimes after his capture. Colton held no resentment towards his son for the choices he made and following the war, he would disappear along with his son.

Gameplay
Colton is fought as an event enemy in Suikoden IV once, in an unwinnable battle alongside Troy, on board the Mystery Merchant Ship. His stats and HP are grossly inflated, making him impossible to defeat for a non-cheating party.

He is only fought again indirectly. He is the captain of one of the Kooluk Ships in the game's 9th naval battle, For Obel's Freedom.
