Biography
"The most powerful general is most certainly General Teo McDohl, victor of a hundred out of a hundred battles. Don't you agree?"

- Imperial Guardsman Teo McDohl was one of the Five Great Generals of the Scarlet Moon Empire, who had fought under Barbarosa Rugner during the War of Succession. He was assigned to the north, supposedly to protect the border with the City-State of Jowston and was favoured by Barbarosa enough to receive his own sword, Prakk, for the mission. At least some of his activities fell outside of this briefing as the razing of Rokkaku would indicate.

Teo never remarried after his only wife, the mother of his son passed away due to illness shortly after his birth. It seems that she was a commoner and an unaffected and sincere sort who was deserving of the term "wise mother."

In the past, it was Teo who adopted Ted, thinking him a war orphan. Teo was also an old friend of Ain Gide, Commander of the Fortress of Kwaba. Teo did not think highly of Kraze Miles, regarding him as a weakling. He also seemed to have some form of relationship with fellow general Sonya Shulen.

His son's ascension to leader of the Toran Liberation Army was considered by some to have sullied Teo's name. Teo himself swore to show no mercy for his son. An initial victory in battle saw the Liberation Army forced to retreat with Teo's advance only staved off after losing a duel against Pahn, although whether Teo held back is undetermined.

The rematch ended in a total victory of the Liberation Army, thanks to their use of Fire Spear. However, Teo refused to surrender, challenging his son to a duel which was accepted. Teo was defeated in the duel and with his final words admitted he fought for the Emperor out of stubbornness and gave blessing to his son's choice. His final words told his son how proud he was that his son had surpassed himself.
