Empire Soldier

The Empire Soldier (ていこへい, Teikohei) is an enemy in the first Suikoden.

Information
Empire Soldiers are often found in large groups of four or more but usually do not pose a threat to your party unless you are already injured or low on spells. There are ten distinct Empire Soldiers in the game, encountered in four different areas.

The first four are encountered in Rockland when infiltrating Grady's mansion, the next three are met in the sewers of Lenankamp shortly thereafter, two are fought in Seika and the final type are fought in the military commander's mansion in Kouan.

They are sometimes accompanied by an Empire Captain. These units were frequently stationed around the Lake Toran area and used a variety of weapons in combat. Female troops were also present among the soldiers.
