Ridley Wizen is the leader of the Two River City Kobold district. A motivated soldier, Ridley didn't miss a training session for years and was considered a great general. However, he shared many of the racial prejudices of the Two River region, distrusting both Wingers and Humans.

During the Dunan Unification War, Ridley became ensnared in a Highland Kingdom plot that exploited the tensions present in Two River. Ridley, after finding a "secret communique" between Kiba Windamier and Makai that offered a peace treaty in exchange for Two River's Kobold District. Unable to accept this, Ridley vowed to fight Highland without the human aid, using solely his own Kobold soldiers. However, this plan proved fruitless when Hero (Suikoden II, Makai, and Chaco united with Ridley in fighting against the Highland army. Moved by this, Ridley realized that despite their differences, the people of Two River were still all citizens who wished to defend their home.

Ridley joined the New State Army and fought in several of the war's battles. Ridley and Shu used Highland's racial tensions plot against them during a battle in Radat Town by having Ridley feint offence at a decision to place Kobold troops on the front line, then attack the Highland Army's flanks during the next battle.

Following the war, Ridley returned to Two River and continued as the leader of the Kobold army.
