'''Jowy Atreides''' (ジョウイ・アトレイド, ''Joui Atoreido'') is a major character in [[Suikoden II]] and [[Genso Suikoden Card Stories]] who also appears in both [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1]] and [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]].

An adopted noble from [[Kyaro Town]]. Jowy Atreides is a close childhood friend of [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] and [[Nanami]] as well as a skilled martial artist. He becomes the bearer of the [[Black Sword Rune]], one half of the [[Rune of Beginning]].

==Profile==
===Appearance===
[[File:Jowy (S2 HDR portrait).png|frameless|left|x128px]]Jowy is a young man of slender build, with grey eyes and long, blond hair usually tied into a long ponytail. He usually wore a blue armless top, white pants with a mustard sash belt, and similarly colored boots. He also wore brown bracers on his arms.

After his return to the Highland military, Jowy would wear a mostly white outfit, with a long white coat and white boots over black pants and a blue undershirt. His normal weapon was a long, blue staff with silver dragon heads holding jewels tipping both ends, giving it a luxurious feel. It may have been bought by his father or mother.

As a Highland officer, he carried a sword, perhaps because it served him better as a commanding officer or maybe because he was hesitant to use his childhood weapon in his new position. He would take up his staff again at the end of the [[Dunan Unification War]] when he made for [[Tenzan Pass]].

===Personality===
[[File:Jowy inherits the Black Sword Rune.png|thumb|left|220px|Great! Love this for you! Bound to go well!]]Jowy was regarded as a peace-loving idealist by many but was nonetheless prepared to betray his own morals to make his dreams a reality.

Although he did truly hate [[Luca Blight]] for his cruelty and evil deeds, Jowy was also fascinated by his strength and hoped to procure a similar strength that he could wield to protect others, not destroy them. In the end, Jowy's convictions led him to the conclusion that only power could establish a peaceful land.

Living in a loveless household, where even his mother could not openly show him much affection, Jowy always harbored an enviousness towards the home life of the hero, Nanami, and Genkaku. They were not related by blood yet cherished each other regardless.

==History==
===The Early Days===
{{Quote|If we make it.....but...somehow get separated....Let's return to this spot. That way we'll be reunited. Promise me....Riou..... |Jowy Atreides}}

[[File:Child Jowy introduces himself.png|thumb|left|220px|But you can call me Little Lord Fauntleroy]]Jowy was not an Atreides by birth, but rather the result of a previous relation his mother, [[Rosa Atreides|Rosa]], had before marrying [[Marcel Atreides]]. As such, Jowy was never fully accepted as a family member by his stepfather or stepbrother. Despite this, Jowy had a relatively happy childhood thanks to his friends; [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the son of]] [[Genkaku]] and [[Nanami]]. Young Jowy also held a crush for the young Princess [[Jillia Blight]].

Jowy entered the [[Highland Army]]'s youth division, the [[Unicorn Brigade]], along with his friend and was eventually assigned to [[Tenzan Pass]] following the truce between [[Highland Kingdom|Highland]] and [[City-States of Jowston|Jowston]]. Following the massacre of the Unicorn Brigade by [[Luca Blight]], Jowy washed up in Jowston and was rescued in [[Toto Village]] by [[Joanna]], [[Marx]] and [[Pilika]]. He then went to rescue his friend who was being held by [[Viktor]] and [[Flik]] but ended up being captured as well.

[[File:Jowy is led away.png|thumb|right|220px|I hope your mother's a good attorney]]Eventually, the duo escaped and returned to [[Kyaro Town]] only for Jowy to be rejected by his family. Led away by Highland soldiers, Jowy would cry out to see his mother, only to be rebuffed by Marcel and Marco. This would be the last time Jowy would see his family.

He and the hero would then be marched through Kyaro as captured spies. Passing through, the carriage of Princess Jillia stopped the procession and interrogated the two as to their motives. Jowy would protest their innocence during this first meeting between the two.

Jowy would be sentenced alongside his friend to be executed as spies. Luckily, they, along with Nanami and [[Mukumuku]] were rescued by Viktor and Flik. Jowy ended up working alongside Viktor's mercenary force and aided Jowston in their struggle against Highland. Following the fall of Viktor's [[Mercenary Fortress]], Jowy received the [[Black Sword Rune]], half of the [[Rune of Beginning]], in the ruins of Toto, while his friend gained the [[Bright Shield Rune]].

[[File:Jowy and Luca reach an understanding.png|thumb|left|220px|This knife is yours, for free, with our special "Stab the Mayor of Muse" promotion running right now]]Making their way to [[Muse City]], Jowy and his friends would be arrested and imprisoned for trying to enter the city using [[Alex]]'s pass. That night, while Nanami and Pilika slept, Jowy spoke with the hero, vowing to do whatever it took to prevent the horrors of war befalling those he cared about.

When confronted with the lack of unity and constant infighting between the individual City-States of Jowston, Jowy felt that it would be unable to repel Highland and he began to feel that the only way to save the City-State would be to destroy Highland from within. And so, on an infiltration mission near the Highland border, Jowy was captured and decided to work under Luca Blight.

Upon returning to Muse, seemingly to rejoin with his friend and Nanami, Jowy acted more and more secretive and suspicious. This behavior culminated with him assassinating the mayor of Muse, [[Anabelle]], in a bitter struggle before fleeing.

===A New Path===
{{Quote|Yes, I've got a reason to bear that burden...and I will. |Jowy Atreides}}

[[File:Jowy plans to take Greenhill with ease.png|thumb|right|220px|And, like, a really big gun]]Following [[Solon Jhee]]'s execution, Jowy volunteered to command the Highland siege on [[Greenhill City]]. Using the City-State's noted internal friction, he would release the Muse City prisoners of war to Greenhill, causing a strain on supplies and priorities that would eventually cause Greenhill to fall without a fight.

The hero would infiltrate Greenhill City in order to locate and rescue [[Teresa Wisemail]]. During the mission, Jowy would encounter his old friend again. He tried to warn his friend off of continuing his fight, promising that he would take care of Luca Blight and the ambitions of Highland. With his friend's refusal, Jowy began to realize the two were truly on different paths now.

[[File:Jowy swears fealty to Agares Blight.png|thumb|left|220px|I'm just gonna poison my own blood and if you drink it, that's on you]]Letting his old friends escape almost gave [[Rowd]] an opportunity to eliminate the young upstart but [[Culgan]] and [[Seed]] would ward Rowd off. Aware of Jowy's desire for true peace, the two generals pledged themselves to him. This was the moment when Jowy, who has been fighting a lonely battle, gained some true friends in his cause.

After achieving success in Greenhill, Jowy requested the hand of Jillia Blight in marriage. He won Luca's trust by planning a foolproof assassination of [[Agares Blight]], whereby he poisoned his own blood prior to the traditional [[Knight's Oath]] ceremony. When Agares drank the blood-infused [[Wine of Fealty]], as was tradition, he quickly fell victim to its effects, thus giving Luca the throne.

But Luca's kingship did not last long. Conspiring with [[Leon Silverberg]], Jowy cooperated with the [[New Alliance Army]], under the command of his friend, to murder Luca.

===Jowy Blight===
{{Quote|It's what I always hoped for, and I want to believe I'm brave enough to accept fate.|Jowy Atreides}}

[[File:Jowy gets hitched.png|thumb|right|220px|Damn, at least pretend you're enjoying this]]After Luca's demise, the marriage ceremony between Jillia Bright and Jowy took place, with Jillia gifting him the title King of Highland. Though he knew that his was an inglorious path, Jowy was committed to following it to the end, both for those who believed in him and those who had fallen victim to his plots.

At this point, however, Jowy felt that any attempt at peace would be futile with tempers raging between the citizens of both nations and so made it his goal to unite the Dunan region under the flag of one nation in order to bring peace.

Although aided by Leon Silverberg, Jowy gradually began to lose ground during the war, partly because he found himself unable to execute some of Leon's more ruthless tactics and also because his body was weakened by the Black Sword Rune, which he was using to restrain the power of the [[Beast Rune]] that Luca had sought to unlock.

[[File:Jowy sacrifices Jillia Blight.png|thumb|left|220px|This wasn't the first life-like Jillia doll Jowy needed "cleaned"]]In one brazen attempt to shore up Highlander morale, Jowy would appear to ritually sacrifice Jillia to the Beast Rune in front of a crowd of cheering soldiers. Although 'Jillia' in this case was a well-made mannequin provided by Leon, Jowy found the entire exercise tasteless, if a necessary piece of theater.

Eventually pushed back beyond its pre-war borders, the Highland Army made one final stand at [[L'Renouille]] before being defeated. As the end of the war loomed, Jowy would meet one final time with Jillia and Pilika. Securing the safety of Jillia and Pilika by making a residence for them in [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonia]], Jowy spent some final tender moments with them both, before escaping to Tenzan Pass where he awaited his friend and prepared to fight him in one final battle.

[[File:Jowy on the verge on death.png|thumb|right|220px|You can hear Anabelle cheering from the afterlife]]At Tenzan Pass, however, the hero refused to fight, and took several harsh blows from Jowy before the latter collapsed, dying from his overuse of his Black Sword Rune. At this stage, Jowy was prepared to die in order to enhance the hero's legend and increase the chances for a lasting peace. Fortuitously, [[Leknaat]] appeared and used the power of the [[108 Stars]] to heal Jowy's body.

Finally, the long conflict between the two friends had come to a resolution. The two returned to Kyaro where they were reunited with Nanami, who both Jowy and his friend thought had perished at [[Rockaxe Castle]]. With the three best friends reunited at last, the group set off on a journey to see the world.

==Concept and Design==
[[File:Jowy Atreides concept art.png|220px|thumb|right|Jowy concept art by [[Ishikawa Fumi]]]]Initially, Jowy was shown in his designs as quite wild because he was older than [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] and was intended to be a delinquent-type character. As the characterization was finalized, Jowy's design became more lean and sympathetic-looking and his clothes changed to blue, in order to contrast with the red outfit of the hero. In early drafts, Jowy was wearing the same shoulder cloth as the hero, but this design element was dropped.

After his return to [[Highland Kingdom|Highland]], Jowy wears white, the color of the Blight royal family. However, a blue garment is visible on his chest, as if to show his inner heart and the belief that surrounds it.

As the main character's weapon was decided to be a tonfa, a Chinese weapon was chosen to match it for Jowy. There were several proposals, including a sword, a spear, and a tonfa like the hero's. Eventually the staff was chosen. Jowy twirls the staff over his head and then swings down at his enemies in a characteristic motion.

==Trivia==
*In Greek mythology, the "Atreides" are the descendants of the mythological Greek king Atreus. The name Atreides referred to his sons, Menelas and Agamemnon and their descendants in turn.
*Jowy wields a Star Staff during his tenure in your group. The second and third levels of his weapon, the Heaven Staff and Heavenly Star Staff, can only be obtained through some sort of game-hack. Jowy departs long before his weapon can be modified that high, and when he makes one more return appearance later in the game, he is using an unnamed sword.
*Jowy's name is misspelled as "Joei" at some point in conversations by both Pilika and Nanami later in the game.
*No other character in [[Suikoden II]] features more different portraits than Jowy (six).

'''Shapur''' (シャプール, ''Shapūru'') is a character from the upcoming [[Suikoden STAR LEAP]].

==History==
{{Quote|His homeland, ravaged by years of war. This is the reality and struggle of a man who vowed to protect it as a knight.| [[Suikoden STAR LEAP: Hoshi Boshi no Kiseki]] preview}}

The protagonist's master and the family butler. He used to be a general. He doesn't seem like the type of person who would be a butler in a small village.

Shapur grew up in one of the countries in the [[Nameless Lands]], discriminated against because of his pagan background. Still, he wished to become a heroic knight and eventually convinced the beggar [[Bamshard]] to train him in preparation for the knight apprentice exams.<ref>Monthly Comic Flapper, December 2025 (JAN 4910138471251)</ref>

Passing his exams, he would become a skilled apprentice, coming under Lord [[Alizade]]'s wing as he grew into adulthood. However, Shapur would become disillusioned when Alizade refused to risk noble knights to relieve the common infantry under attack by monsters in a battle.

Taking matters into his own hands, Shapur would save the infantry forces. Alizade would take the credit and glory and Shapur would finally become a knight in the process, though the honor was now a bitter one.

Still, he continued to fight for his country and rose to become a general, even as he felt guilt and self-loathing for not pushing back against Alizade's glory-seeking ways. A chance meeting with [[Hou]], as Shapur prepared to lead an attack on the [[Free Knights of Camaro]], would prove pivotal in changing his destiny.<ref>Monthly Comic Flapper, February 2025 (JAN 4912138470265)</ref>

Dragon King Sword

2025-09-19T09:08:46Z

Antimatzist: /* Information */

[[File:Dragon King Sword.png|thumb|220px|[[Barbarossa Rugner|Barbarossa]] raises the Dragon King Sword just before morphing into the [[Golden Hydra]]. ''(PSP)'']]The '''Dragon King Sword''' (竜王剣, ''Ryū Ō Tsurugi'') is a sword seen in [[Suikoden]].

==Information==
The Dragon King Sword was a famous sword and heirloom of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. The Dragon King Sword is apparently a form that the [[Sovereign Rune]] has taken. As a result, wielding the sword meant that [[Barbarossa Rugner|Emperor Barbarossa]] was immune to the effects of [[Windy]]'s [[Conqueror Rune]] throughout the [[Gate Rune War]].

Windy did not know the Dragon King Sword contained the Sovereign Rune and so it never came under suspicion from her. With the Sovereign Rune, the Dragon King Sword could transform its wielder into a [[Golden Hydra|three-headed dragon]]. The whereabouts of the sword after Barbarossa's defeat is unknown.

The sword was so famous that it was one of only two swords that [[Tessai]] thought could bring back his inspiration as a blacksmith, the other being the [[Celestial Sword]].

With the Sovereign Rune, the Dragon King Sword could transform its wielder into a [[Golden Hydra|three-headed dragon]]. The whereabouts of the sword after Barbarossa's defeat is unknown.

The sword was so famous that it was one of two swords that [[Tessai]] thought could bring back his inspiration as a blacksmith, the other being the [[Celestial Sword]].

27 True Runes

2025-09-19T08:19:29Z

Antimatzist: /* Suikoden II */ Changed Eight Section to Eightfold

The '''27 True Runes''' (27真紋章, ''27 Shin Monshō'') are the most powerful [[rune|runes]], from which all other runes are born. Their nature and origin are unknown but there are myths pertaining to their creation. Not all of the 27 True Runes are known to us at this time.

==Overview==
The 27 True Runes are said to be the [[rune|runes]] from which all things are born, including all other runes. Mythology states that the 27 True Runes adorned the sword and shield at the beginning of time. It said that those who bear a True Rune will have access to great power and immortality, but often with unforeseen consequences.

The 27 True Runes have had a profound effect on world history, with large scale wars fought over their possession or by other indirect influences not uncommon. The [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]], in particular, has an opaque national policy of obtaining True Runes by any means, causing many conflicts and invasions over the centuries in the name of that goal.

Some True Runes have negative effects on anyone who would bear them, either by hurting those close to the bearer or draining the life of the bearer itself. In order to obtain the mighty power of a True Rune, one must be willing to take a huge risk not only with their safety but with the safety of those closest to them.

True Runes whose bearers had died in some manner were known to search for a new bearer or seal themselves away according to their own will.

==Aging and Immortality==
While it is often stated that True Rune bearers are immortal, the full scope of this is slightly more complicated. [[Ted]], [[Luc]], and [[Sierra Mikain]] each held a True Rune with differences in the degree of their apparent growth.

Although the details of these differences are unknown, they seem to vary depending on the person's own self-img, the type of rune, and the circumstances under which they gained it. Luc held the [[True Wind Rune]] since the day he was born but continued to age into his late teens. Ted, meanwhile, aged when he gave up the [[Rune of Life and Death]] for a time during his travels. [[Sierra Mikain]] remained youthful even when separated from the [[Moon Rune]] for centuries, due to her [[vampire|vampiric]] nature.

However, in the case of older rune bearers, such as [[Joshua Levenheit]] or [[Geddoe]], their aging appeared to be completely arrested after gaining their True Rune.

'''Yuber''' (ユーバー, ''Yūbā'') is a recurring antagonist who appears in [[Suikoden]], [[Suikoden II]] and [[Suikoden III]]. Known as the Black Knight, Yuber has appeared in many conflicts throughout history.

==History==
{{quote| A mysterious Black Knight whose face has never been seen. | Yuber's profile}}

A demon who violently hates True Runes and desires nothing but to create utter chaos and destruction in the world. His thirst for suffering is quenched only by killing others and hearing their dying screams. Yuber bears one of the [[27 True Runes]], the [[Eightfold Rune]], and is a master of both magic and sword technique.

[[File:Yuber abandons the Empire.png|thumb|left|220px|Yuber: A consummate professional.]]His cruelty, aura of darkness and awesome power mark him as something other than a [[human]] and he has been described as a "soldier of death". Known to appear on bloody battlefields as an eerie black knight, Yuber has been a scourge in many wars over the years.

Yuber has been a subordinate of [[Windy]], complicit in her attack on the [[Village of the Hidden Rune]] as well as during the [[Gate Rune War]]. Yuber led the [[Imperial Army]] during the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]]. Following his loss, however, he was dismissive of the result, holding no true loyalty to Windy. He would then disappear from the battlefield, pursued by [[Pesmerga]], who had been hunting him for some time.

During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Yuber was invited by the genius strategist [[Leon Silverberg]] to fight for the [[Highland Army]]. He showed more of his great ability under [[Jowy Atreides]]. Stationed at [[Greenhill City]], he would encounter [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New Alliance Army]] there, seemingly taking an interest in his [[27 True Runes|True Rune]], regarding it with anger and hatred. He would summon a [[Bone Dragon]] to attack his enemies before abandoning the city.

He would participate in several more battles during the war but would abandon the [[Highland Kingdom]] during the [[Conquest of L'Renouille|last battle]], seeing little value in fighting for a doomed country. He was once again pursued by [[Pesmerga]], who called him "a devil, a shadow, my arch-nemesis......" although the meaning of this has yet to be revealed and their true connection is unknown.

Some 15 years later, prior to the [[War of the Champions]], he was contacted by [[Luc]], through [[Albert Silverberg]], who knew how to reach him through information found in Leon's notes. Agreeing to aid Luc's goal in destroying the [[True Wind Rune]], he would cooperate with the [[Destroyers]] to carry out their plan.

By assassinating [[Lizard Clan]] Chief [[Zepon]] and razing the [[Karaya Village]], Yuber helped spark war and destruction throughout the [[Grasslands]]. His motivation was his hatred of the True Runes and his desire to bring chaos and death to the world.

During the conflict, he wielded dual swords, hidden in the sleeves of his outfit. Yuber brought his mastery of his sword technique to bear against the [[Fire Bringer]] time and again but, finally, at the [[Ceremonial Site]] was defeated by [[Geddoe]], causing him to abandon his mission, shocked that humans could find strength in their beliefs.

His whereabouts after that are unknown, but it said that his figure was spotted amongst the deformed monsters that overflowed from the collapsing ruins.

Iirc the rune itself is never mentioned in the game, but since we can assume Yuber always wore it, it should also appear i the first Suikoden, right?

The '''Eightfold Rune''' (八鬼房の紋章, ''Yatsufusa no Monshō'') is one of the [[27 True Runes]]. It is the rune of the dark knight, [[Yuber]].

==Information==
The Eightfold Rune is one of the [[27 True Runes]] and is said to be in the possession of [[Yuber]]. Much like its owners, its effect and nature are a complete mystery.

It is difficult to say to what extent the fearsome Yuber's abilities are due to the power of this rune and to what extent they are due to Yuber's own enigmatic abilities. Despite the similar name, it is currently not known whether Yuber's [[Eight Devil Rune]] has any connection to the True Rune.

==Name==
The name Yatsufusa, spelled identically to the name of the rune in both kanji and hiragana, is from the novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden by Kyokutei Bakin. In the novel, a lord jokingly promises his daughter's hand in marriage to a dog, Yatsufusa, if the animal can defeat his enemy. To his surprise, Yatsufusa succeeds and his daughter leaves with the dog despite her father's protests.

One year later, a warrior attempts to rescue the daughter by defeating Yatsufusa. In the struggle, he accidentally kills both her and Yatsufusa. When she dies, he leaves behind eight sacred beads which fly away on the wind. The eight beads represent the eight virtues of Confucianism.

Despite the fact that [[Yuber]] appeared in three Suikoden games, the rune has never been mentioned outside of Japanese-only publications and thus remained officially unlocalized for decades. In the English version of the third [[Suikoden Live]] broadcast, the rune was for the first time given an English name directly by Konami, ''Eightfold Rune''.

'''Gordeau''' (ゴルドー, ''Gorudō'') is a supporting antagonist in [[Suikoden II]]. He is the leader of the [[Matilda Knights]], whose efforts to consolidate his own power led to his downfall and eventual death.

In the 1999 English language localization of Suikoden II, he was called '''Gorudo''', an incredibly literal romanization of his Japanese name.

==History==
{{Quote| It's more important that we bolster our defenses. Let no one past the border, refugee or otherwise. |Gordeau}}

Gordeau was the leader of the [[Matilda Knights]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]]. A man driven primarily by self-preservation and the protection of his lands, Gordeau was known for his selfish and arrogant demeanor.

[[File:Gordeau holds an audience.png|thumb|left|220px|Diplomacy is a subtle art]]Lamentably, he lacked a sense of justice, often clashing with his subordinate [[Miklotov]] due to their differing values, seeking absolute loyalty rather than fostering respect or exemplary leadership among his knights. His uncooperative nature also extended to other members of the [[City-States of Jowston]].

Throughout the war, Gordeau remained skeptical of the [[Highland Army]]'s intentions to invade [[Muse Principality]], displaying reluctance in committing troops at the crucial [[Hilltop Conference]] held in [[Muse City]]. He was also insulting and disparaging to his fellow leaders, most notably [[Greenhill City]]'s [[Teresa Wisemail]].

Ultimately, he dispatched [[Camus]] and Miklotov to defend the city, but then swiftly ordered them both to retreat. Following this incident, Gordeau opted for a neutral stance, displaying a cold reception to the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|leader]] of the [[New Alliance Army]] when presented with the idea of forming an alliance.

[[File:Gordeau fights his final battle.png|thumb|left|220px|Oh we're going to enjoy this]]However, Gordeau's decisions took a darker turn when he callously refused to provide aid to Muse refugees seeking refuge in Matilda, resulting in their capture and tragic sacrifice in Muse City. This callous act led to the denouncement of his leadership by Camus, Miklotov, and several other knights who renounced their oaths and departed from his service.

Consequently, Gordeau's military power dwindled, and he willingly submitted to the [[Highland Kingdom]], accepting a puppet ruler status in order to maintain his position. That said, he had been in contact with Highland since at least the fall of Muse, indicating a much longer-lasting connection between the two powers.

In a critical event at [[Rockaxe Castle]], tensions escalated further when Gordeau ordered his archers to fire upon the New Alliance Army forces, tragically hitting [[Nanami]] before confronting the army's leader as well as [[Jowy Atreides]]. Enraged by his actions, the two warriors engaged Gordeau in a fierce battle, resulting in the demise of Gordeau on the battlefield.

==Trivia==
* Gordeau's name was localized as Gorudo in the original version of Suikoden II, which is a very literal romanization of his Japanese name. It should most likely have been consistently romanized as Gordeau, which appears once or twice in the original English-language localization. It was changed consistently to Gordeau in the remaster.

}}'''Higashino Miki''' (東野美紀, also known as '''MIKI-CHANG''', born January 1, 1968) is a freelance video game composer who was the lead music director for both [[Suikoden]] and [[Suikoden II]].

==Production History==
Higashino Miki grew up listening to classical music since childhood. She started to learn piano and first began written short pieces while still in kindergarten. While an elementary school student, she attended a composition school, learning the music of such composers as Chopin and Beethoven. She also attended a mission school for 6 years, and the church music learned there would be one of the foundational inspirations for her music. She also formed a band in junior high school and wrote many original pieces.

After entering Osaka University's music composition department, Higashino participated in the Yamaha Popular Song Contest where she advanced to the semi-finals. She also started working part-time at Konami and started working on ''Gradius'' and ''Salamander''. At university, Higashino majored in composition and took a synthesizer class to learn about the Moog IIIc synthesizer.

Konami offered her a role after graduation but Higashino declined and joined Recruit, a human resources company instead. She would later rejoin Konami as a mid-career recruitment. At Konami she was the lead composer for ''Gradius III'' and ''Contra III: The Alien Wars''. As a key member of Konami Kukeiha Club, she worked on many soundtracks for different Konami games, including ''Vandal Hearts''.

Following the success of the soundtrack for [[Suikoden]], for [[Suikoden II]], Higashino Miki was given to opportunity to write the full score and to record the performance of a European orchestra for the soundtrack. Due to her background, Highshino was one of the few game music composers who could write full orchestra music. She did not work on the [[Suikoden III]] soundtrack, in part because she had left Konami on maternity leave.

Since then, Higashino Miki has worked as a freelance music composer, mostly notable for [[Murayama Yoshitaka]]'s game ''10,000 Bullets'', in 2005. [[Miura Norikazu]] asked her to join the work on the soundtrack of [[Suikoden Tierkreis]], which she rejected due to scheduling conflicts. She was stated to be retired as of 2020, but has since come out of retirement to compose the soundtrack for an upcoming game called Bounty Sisters.

'''Geil Rugner''' (ゲイル・ルーグナー ''Geiru Rūgunā''), born '''Georg Rugner''' (ゲオルグ・ルーグナー ''Georugu Rūgunā''), is a character mentioned in [[Suikoden]]. He was the immediate predecessor as Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] before [[Barbarossa Rugner]].

==History==
{{quote| It's been a long time… But in the end, bowing my head to that young Barbarossa was worth it. | Geil Rugner}}

Geil Rugner was born the eldest son of [[Kallnach Rugner]]. He was given the name Georg at birth but later changed his name to Geil as it was considered more favorable from an astrological perspective as well as easier to pronounce. Close friends still sometimes called him Georg, however.

As Kallnach's eldest son, Geil was the seemingly obvious choice as the new emperor once his father died. However, on Kallnach's deathbed, he chose Geil's younger brother, [[Michelan Rugner|Michelan]] as his successor.

Though inwardly furious and believing Michelan to have somehow forged Kallnach's choice of successor, Geil would bide his time. He would act as a loyal member of the imperial court all while secretly gathering allies and power.

When Michelan passed away, it appeared the emperorship would fall to Michelan's son, [[Barbarossa Rugner|Barbarossa]]. However, Geil used his influence in the courts to claim that Michelan had suborned the will of Kallanch.

Through this, Geil had Barbarossa stripped of the crown through the [[Trial of Disinheritance]] while he was away in [[Kunan]]. Geil was then crowned Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. The [[War of Succession]] broke out soon after.

Geil seemed well backed during the war, having a mixture of generals and administrators, including [[Bergen (Genso Suikoden Short Story Collection 1)|Bergen]], [[Schmidt]], [[Assam]] and [[Kreutz]], the latter of which considered to be the greatest of Geil's generals. But he decided to enact a brutal rule in an attempt to secure his power, collaborating with bandits and lake pirates, losing him the support of the populace.

Meanwhile, Barbarossa managed to gather his own impressive followers, including the six [[Great General|Great Generals]] and within a year, the war was over. Geil Rugner made one final stand at [[Gregminster]] but was cut down and killed by Barbarossa himself.

==Appearance==
By the time of the War of Succession, Geil was a wrinkled figure who wore a gold-rimmed monocle, had white, slicked-back hair, and had a double chin and aquiline nose. He was said to carry an imposing figure. He sometimes wore a rainbow-colored gown.

His only depiction in artwork is in background materials for [[Suikoden]], such as the instruction manual, where his prone body is shown after being defeated by his nephew.

== Trivia ==
In the German language version of [[Suikoden I&II HD Remaster]], Geil's name was changed to ''Gail'', presumably because the adjective ''geil'' means ''horny'' in German. Both names are pronounced the same way.

[[File:Mace joins the Liberation Army.png|220px|thumb|left|You can rot AND work!]]
Mace was known as the greatest [[blacksmith]] in the land, holding the title of master blacksmith above all others. He was also a great teacher with several disciples of his own before he disappeared without warning.

Mace moved to the isolated [[Seek Valley]], working in solitude and perfecting his technique by studying new ways of forging iron. Although he wished to be left alone, Mace's disciples, [[Maas]], [[Meese]], [[Mose]] and [[Moose]] were able to rekindle Mace's passion and convince him to come out of retirement and serve the [[Toran Liberation Army]].

His passion rekindled, he was able to forge weapons to their highest level, truly embodying his title of master blacksmith. Seeing his students grow and improve so much also sparked his joy as a master. He often spoke philosophically about the nature of forging weapons, again showing his mastery in the field.

Following the [[Gate Rune War]], Mace let his disciple, Moose succeed him as the master blacksmith before retiring for good.

}}
The '''Speed Rune''' (神行法の紋章, ''Shinkōhō no Monshō''), known as '''Holy Rune''' in the 1996 localization of [[Suikoden]], is a [[rune]] which appears in the original versions of Suikoden.

==Information==
This rarely seen rune boosts the walking speed of its bearer, making it possible to traverse great distances with ease. Its effect did not last long and was mainly used for traversing shorter distances. Its higher order variant was [[Stallion]]'s [[High-Speed Rune]].
{{clear}}
==Data==
{{Rune data

== Trivia ==
Because the [[Suikoden I&II HD Remaster]] introduced a dash feature for [[Suikoden]], this rune is not available through regular gameplay anymore, as it is not needed. It is still visible in the game's code, including its updated name.

'''Window''' (ウインドウ, ''Uindou'') is a character in [[Suikoden]]. Window is a young man of the [[Warriors' Village]] with little interest for the village's traditions.

==History==
{{quote | How would ya like your windows? | Window}}

[[File:Window receives the Window Rune.png|thumb|left|220px|Your name is ''Window'', and you weren't good with windows before?!]]
Window was a member of the [[Warriors' Village]], but he did not pursue the path of a warrior. Instead, his true passion lay in the art of decorative [[Window maker|window making]]. This rare vocation was held in high-esteem so he had no issues living in the village regardless of his lack of martial prowess.

As the designated heir to the position of window craftsman in the village, Window harbored a lifelong desire to obtain the [[Window Rune]]. When the [[Toran Liberation Army]] presented him with the rune he had sought since childhood, having found it in the [[Cave of the Past]], he agreed to join their cause.

During his time at [[Toran Castle]], Window showcased his exceptional skills by installing numerous windows that blended both aesthetic beauty and practical functionality. He also fought alongside other artisans in [[the Musicians]] unit on the battlefield alongside [[Melodye]] and [[Kasios]].

His craftsmanship earned him recognition, and after the conclusion of the [[Gate Rune War]], he was honored with a commission to work on the grand windows on [[Magician's Island]].

'''Apple''' (アップル, ''Appuru'') is a recurring character who appears in [[Suikoden]], [[Suikoden II]] and [[Suikoden III]] as well as [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]] and [[Genso Suikoden Card Stories]]. Apple is a military strategist who studied under [[Mathiu Silverberg]].

==Profile==
===Appearance===
[[File:Apple (S2 HDR portrait).png|frameless|120px|left]]
Apple has chin-length light brown hair and soft green eyes. She wore large, round glasses.

In [[Suikoden II]], Apple wore a long, cream-colored coat with brown trim, belted at the waist, along with a red scarf tied around her neck. She also wore dark leggings and knee-high cream boots with brown cuffs. Her [[Suikoden]] outfit is similar but less refined.

By the time of [[Suikoden III]], Apple wore a beige tunic with structured shoulders and darker brown geometric trim along the hem and cuffs. The sleeves were long, gray, and slightly loose. She also wore a high blue scarf wraps around her neck.

This was paired with a long, flowing blue skirt with subtle beige stripes as well as sturdy brown lace-up boots.

===Personality===
Apple is a deeply empathetic and principled individual, shaped by a life of profound loss and the teachings of her mentor, [[Mathiu Silverberg]]. Her childhood as a war orphan left her with a strong disdain for conflict, viewing all battles as tragedies regardless of their outcome.

However, under Mathiu's guidance, she came to understand that strategy could be a means of ending wars swiftly and minimizing suffering, a perspective that softened her initial aversion to military tactics as the cause of battles.

Her personality is marked by a strong sense of justice and an unyielding commitment to helping the vulnerable, which sometimes made her decisions more idealistic than pragmatic. Despite her occasional naïveté as a strategist, Apple is a woman of action, willing to sacrifice her pride and face any hardship to uphold her beliefs, inspiring respect in those around her, including her senior, [[Shu]].

Her life's work, including completing Mathiu’s biography and opening a school to pass on her knowledge, reflects her enduring commitment to peace and education.

==History==
===Mathiu's Student===
{{quote| It's you. You're the one who took Master Mathiu. Don't try to hide it. | Apple}}

[[File:Apple is upset at Mathiu's unretirement.png|220px|thumb|left|You underestimate Mathiu's bloodlust.]]Apple was raised in [[Dana]] but had lost her parents in the Scarlet Moon-Jowston War at a young age. As such, she believed all battles were tragedies, regardless of the results.

[[Mathiu Silverberg]] would take her in from her distant relatives, staying at the [[Fortress of Garan]], when he noticed her passion for reading. Taught in Mathiu's classroom in Seika, she would become something of a foster child.

From Mathiu, she learned his maxim of ending battles as quickly as possible, as opposed to seeking victories at all costs. This led her to soften her stance on military strategy, something which she previously thought of as starting battles, like the one that cost her her home, not ending them.

Boasting a clear mind, she was eventually able to study at [[Crystal Valley]] in the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]] on Mathiu's recommendation before returning home once she heard news of the [[Gate Rune War]]. When she heard that Mathiu had become the strategist of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], she had doubts over his decision as it seemed so opposed to the non-violent and friendly teacher she knew and admired.

She would journey to [[Toran Castle]] and, once convinced that Mathiu was working "to end the war" and bring a peaceful future, joined the Liberation Army in order to support Mathiu. She would continue her studies under Mathiu there, in his spare time. Apple's esteem for her teacher would only grow as she would see his stratagems put into action during the war, but she continued to resent McDohl for supposedly dragging Mathiu back to the battlefield.

Apple would lose her mentor at the war's end as he passed away from the wounds he suffered at [[Floating Fortress of Shasarazade|Shasarazade]].

===New State Strategist===
[[File:Apple confronts Viktor.png|thumb|left|220px| You come into my fortress on the day my Pohl's getting murdered...]]
Having lost Mathiu to war, Apple endeavored to write the biography of her late master. In order to gather materials for this task, she tried to follow in the footsteps of his own journey.

Along the way, she witnessed the slaughter of [[Toto Village]] by [[Luca Blight]] and decided to aid what would become the [[New State Army]]. As a war orphan herself, she was no stranger to seeing her loved ones lost to war and so was especially angered by Luca's deeds.

She served as a deputy strategist in the New State Army, saying her strategic and tactical skills were still developing. Her strong sense of justice and past as a war orphan meant her priority as a military strategist was on helping the weak rather than pursuing victory. For this reason, she was not completely cool-headed about battles and she could be considered somewhat naïve as a military commander.

However, she is not a woman who only talks about ideals. She is a woman of action who will face any difficulty to realize her beliefs. Knowing that her senior pupil and friend, [[Shu]], was an excellent strategist, she would encourage the fledgling army to recruit him. Shu at first refused to join, rebuffing Apple continuously, until she prostrated herself before him.

[[File:Apple begs for help.png|thumb|right|220px|Please bring your fire-themed card deck, I beg you.]]This loss of face angered Shu until Apple remarked that she was willing to throw away her foolish pride if needed. Shu would soon join and Apple's conviction and prostrations to recruiting the head strategist indirectly greatly contributed to the victory of the New State Army. This act of earnestness and her purity of feeling is what Shu considered to be her greatest talent as a military strategist.

While serving the New State Army, Apple had to put up with the advances of [[Sheena]], a difficult situation as Apple had little experience dealing in such matters, especially from someone as forward as him. Neither did she have any feelings for Shu, the two being childhood friends.

Following the end of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Apple resumed her work on the biography of Mathiu's travels. According to one traveler, someone with her appearance was seen in the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. Perhaps she may have aims to study once more at Crystal Valley.

===Grasslands Historian===
{{quote| She travels with Caesar. Participated in the Toran Liberation and Dunan Unification Wars. She has become a prominent historian.| Apple's profile}}
[[File:Apple delays Harmonia with the secret treaty.png|220px|thumb|left|Apple defeats Harmonia via bureaucracy.]]
Sometime before the [[War of the Champions]], Apple had gotten married but by the time of the war, she had long divorced her unfaithful (and unidentified) spouse. By this time, she had stepped back from being an active strategist, functioning more as an advisor and tutor.

During the events of the [[War of the Champions]], Apple traveled with [[Caesar Silverberg]] while continuing her research into [[Mathiu Silverberg|Mathiu]]'s life. She would cooperate with the [[Fire Bringer]] along with Caesar after meeting [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]]. She was a warm-hearted person, who valued the bonds with her comrades over giving orders coldly.

Following the war, she finally completed her biography on Mathiu and returned to [[Seika]], opening a school there.

===In Genso Suikoden Card Stories===
[[File:Apple plans for Radat.png|thumb|right|220px|At least you don't beg this time around.]]Apple plays a slightly truncated role in [[Genso Suikoden Card Stories]] in comparison to [[Suikoden II]]. She does not appear in the game until the player arrives in [[South Window City]], following the fall of [[Muse City]]. She accompanies the player to [[Radat Town]] and helps to recruit [[Shu]] and continues to play a supporting role in the story from there on.

After meeting Apple in chapter 4, Apple is an event encounter in every field area, save for the [[Road to Matilda]]. When talked to, she allows the player to edit their decks in the same manner as the game's inns. This can be useful for editing the player's deck for any event bosses they may have passed by, as leaving would reset the field.

Like other event encounters, Apple will leave once the player has confirmed they have completed editing their deck.

'''Odessa Silverberg''' (オデッサ・シルバーバーグ, ''Odessa Shirubābāgu'') is a major character in [[Suikoden]]. Odessa is the leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]] whose strength and ideals inspired the rebel force throughout the war.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
[[File:Odessa headshot.png|left|150px]]Odessa is a young woman with long chestnut-brown hair and green eyes (though they have also been depicted as blue and hazel). In her youth as an Imperial noble, she seems to have mainly worn long dresses.

As the leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], she wears a grey tunic fitted to her waist by a brown corset. Under this she wears white leggings, and her outfit is accented with brown gloves and boots. To complete her outfit, she wears a red cape as well as a small circlet around his head.

In battle, Odessa wields a common bow, holding it in her left hand, marking her as right-handed.

===Personality===
{{quote| Don't you know what the Empire is doing? What the people truly want? Or are you going to feign ignorance? | Odessa Silverberg}}
Odessa was noted for her tenderness and strength, as well as her determination never to turn her back on those who needed aid. These attributes drove her to fall for [[Achilles]] and, later, [[Flik]]. These attributes bolstered her reputation with those sympathetic to her cause.

As leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], she garnered support and sympathy from scores of people suffering under the Imperial regime. She rarely confided in people as she felt she needed to maintain a certain aura as the leader of the liberation movement. That said, she had an open-heart and was very trusting of people. Flik would even claim she could be overly trusting.

She was also capable of holding a grudge. Her split with her brother, [[Mathiu Silverberg|Mathiu]], was acrimonious and even when she entrusted [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] to him for help, her words indicated that she never fully forgave what she condemned as his cowardice.

Odessa had a habit of grinding her teeth while sleeping. When [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]]'s group accompanied Odessa to [[Sarady]], he had to listen to Odessa's teeth grinding at night when they stayed in the inn there.

==History==
{{quote| You can't ignore what you've seen, what you've felt. To do so would be a terrible sin... | Odessa Silverberg}}

[[File:Odessa's Rescue Attempt.png|thumb|left|220px|I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now slice through the wedding reception.]]Odessa Silverberg is the founder and original leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. Despite her birth into an aristocratic family, Odessa developed a sincere concern for how people were suffering under the corruption of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] after meeting [[Achilles]], who was involved in an anti-imperial movement.

She was once close with her brother, [[Mathiu Silverberg|Mathiu]], even being tutored in military strategy by him. However, her entry into sedition led to a falling out between the two, Odessa believing him to be a coward for turning his back on suffering and refusing to use his considerable talents, with the two never reconciling. Odessa eventually became Achilles' fiancée and joined the movement, helping him raise a war orphan named [[Michel]].

Achilles was arrested on trumped-up charges of fugitive-harboring due to his role in the anti-imperial movement. Odessa attempted to save her fiancée; demanding Achilles evoke his "last rights" to marry Odessa before his execution. Granted the final request, she would stage a daring escape attempt on the wedding day, fighting through Imperial soldiers clad in her wedding dress, wielding a sword.

Tragically, Achilles was felled by Imperial archers in the attempt. Odessa managed to escape the capital and, finding refuge in [[Lenankamp]], founded the Toran Liberation Army with the express goal of opposing misrule and overthrowing the Imperial regime, beginning the [[Gate Rune War]].

[[File:Odessa hates names.png|thumb|right|220px|We're not like those ''splitters'' in the Liberation Front!]]Over the next two years, the Liberation Army grew in size. Odessa laid the foundation for future strategies years in advance, including the building of the [[Secret Factory]] as well as the purchase of the plans for the [[Fire Spear]].

As the leader of the Liberation Army, Odessa was a symbol of its ideals, being idolized as its "star of hope". Although one of many rebel groups operating in the Empire, she would cooperate with other rebel leaders, such as [[Zella]] and [[Alec]], willingly.

Odessa first met [[Flik]] when he saved her from an attack on the road to [[Gregminster]]. From there, the two would fall in love, the two having a strong relationship. In order to maintain her status as a strong leader, she rarely confided in people.

Operating out of the Liberation Army headquarters in Lenankamp's sewers, Odessa would first meet [[Hero (Suikoden)|the hero]] after [[Viktor]] brought him to the sewers following his escape from [[Gregminster]]. Although open to having him join, she did not pressure him but did encourage him to think for himself and to take responsibility for his actions, such as the capture of [[Varkas]] and [[Sydonia]].

Odessa herself would take an active role in missions, traveling to [[Sarady]] to deliver the Fire Spear plans. On the journey, the party would be successfully mugged by [[Ledon]], with only her reputation as the Liberation Army commander saving her from being robbed. Odessa would ruefully comment that perhaps she trusted people too much.

[[File:Odessa's Parting Words.png|thumb|left|220px|...tell him he can keep that CD he borrowed.]]While away on this mission the Liberation Army's hideout was attacked by Imperial soldiers, after being tipped off by [[Sanchez|their informant]]. Returning during the attack, Odessa was killed while protecting a small child, placing her desire to protect over being a leader. Before she died, she requested that her body be thrown into the sewers to avoid spreading the news of her death, which she believed would affect the morale of the movement.

After her death, Odessa's wishes were followed and her body was disposed of in Lenankamp's sewers, closing the curtain on a brief, but intense life. She would be succeeded in leadership of the Liberation Army and although rumors of her disappearance would begin to circulate, her death only became public knowledge following the [[Battle at Pannu Yakuta Castle]] after the Liberation Army had grown to a point that the lie was no longer deemed necessary.

Odessa's ambitions would be realized when the Liberation Army finally overthrew the Imperial regime, establishing the [[Toran Republic]].

==Name and Weapon==
Odesa (Russian spelling: Odessa) is the name of the third-largest city in Ukraine and was also a prominent city in the former Soviet Union. The city, in turn, was named after the ancient Greek city of Odessos, which was mistakenly believed to have been located where the modern Odessa now lies. Silverberg, meanwhile, is a German and/or Yiddish surname, meaning 'silver mountain'.

Odessa's bow names are simple descriptors and are shared with [[Ted]]. This is as they are stated to be common, mass-produced bows and are difficult for [[blacksmith]]s to work with.

* In the English-language localization of [[Suikoden]], the rumormonger in [[Sarady]] claims Odessa is a 9-foot-tall giant. In the original Japanese, he claims she is three meters tall, which is closer to 10 feet tall.
* [[Ted]] shares the same weapon name as Odessa in [[Suikoden]]. They are stated to be common, mass-produced bows and are difficult for [[blacksmith]]s to work with.
* In true [[Warriors' Village]] tradition, [[Flik]] named his sword after Odessa, that which is most dear to him.

}}'''Suikoden''' (幻想水滸伝, ''Gensōsuikoden'') is a series of role-playing games published by [[Konami]].

Dating back to the Sony PlayStation, the game series is loosely based on the classical Chinese novel Shui Hu Zhuan, whose title is rendered as Suikoden (水滸伝) in Japanese. Each individual game in the series centers on relative themes of politics, corruption, revolution, mystical crests and the [[108 Stars]], the 108 protagonists who are loosely interpreted from the Shui Hu Zhuan.

==Overview==
[[File:Marugoto! cover no text.png|300px|thumb|left|A selection of protagonists from the first 10 games in the series.]]The Suikoden series is a video game franchise published by [[Konami]]. It is a Japanese role-playing game series with varying gameplay, settings and stories between each installment, with a lineage of shared continuity running through many of the games.

Though the core series is a role-playing game franchise, it has branched into other genres, such as tactical role-playing games, visual novels, and card games. The series has been distributed on many platforms, beginning with the Sony PlayStation, and including consoles, computers, and mobile phones. The Suikoden series has also branched into other forms of media, particularly novels, manga, and audio dramas.

==Gameplay==
===Equipment===
In almost every game of the series, characters can equip armor and accessories. Several games of the series feature individual inventories, where items must be equipped to a character in order for them to be able to use said item in battle. Most games also feature a standard inventory you can equip armor, accessories, and other items from.

Unlike many Japanese role-playing games, the first six titles do not feature purchasable weapons. Instead, characters must have their weapons upgraded through a [[blacksmith]], increasing their statistics over time. Later games deviate from this; [[Suikoden Tierkreis]] and [[Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki]] both focus on the purchasing and equipping of weapons just the same as armor or other accessories.

===Duel===
Duels occur at key plot moments in most games of the series. Duels are a one-on-one fight against an opponent and does not use the party battle system.

Instead, you are given a selection of commands and a health bar. Like rock-paper-scissors, your commands have an advantage and disadvantage. By predicting the next move of your opponent through their expressions and dialogue, the player will enter their command. The two will then fight, turn-by-turn, until one is defeated.

===Party Battle===
The Suikoden series usually puts the player in control of multiple characters in a party of between 4 and 6 characters depending on the game, though there are exceptions. The player will build the party's strength by gradually acquiring new abilities and equipment to handle more powerful opponents.

As a Japanese role-playing game, these battles involve the use of in-game menus to select actions.

===Recruiting===
In the seven games of the "main series", the player is able to recruit up to (and sometimes exceeding) 108 characters; each with their own style, personality, and role. Not all of these characters are potential battle party members. Some act as merchants, some trigger mini games, some offer assist abilities (such as post-battle healing), and some add to your abilities in other gameplay instances such as war battles.

[[Suikoden Tactics]] does not feature 108 characters but does have a large number of characters to recruit. In games with 108 characters, there is generally a secret, or "best", ending gained by collecting all [[108 Stars]].

===War Battle===
War battles take place when at key plot moments you lead a large force against the opposing side, much greater in scope than a battle party could handle. These represent pitched war battles, consisting of hundreds or thousands of soldiers.

Each game in the series that employs war battles uses its own particular formula, be it grid-based, strategic, or even real-time combat. The abilities of the characters you have recruited, even those who do not normally participate in party battles, are often very important is these instances.

==Synopsis==
The first ten of the thirteen individual titles released in the Suikoden series take place in the same, unnamed, world. This world is a setting with two main forces at play.

One is [[rune]]s, which are magical crests that characters may have equipped to give them magical powers or enhanced abilities. Greater than these even are the [[27 True Runes]], which are, according to series legend, said to have a key part in the creation of the world.

The other main influencing force is that of the [[108 Stars]]. A much more nebulous and esoteric influence than even runes, the 108 Stars are frequently described as guardians, guides, or signposts for individual characters. Each "main" title in the Suikoden series involves a convergence of the 108 Stars.

Games in the Suikoden series tend to intertwine these two forces, as well as the temporal politics of the games events in order to examine notions of destiny, order, chaos, and the meaning of will.

Games since 2008 have taken place in different worlds of what is called the [[Infinity]], a multiverse concept previously alluded to in other titles. These titles do not involve runes but do include the 108 Stars and have their own, individual lore aspects.

==History==
===Sony PlayStation===
The Suikoden series first began with the release of [[Suikoden]] for the Sony PlayStation on December 15, 1995. It was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo. Release early in the PlayStation's life cycle, it sold well due in part of a lack of competing RPGs on the new system.

The second game in the series, [[Suikoden II]] was released on December 17, 1998. The game met with great acclaim in Japan and overseas and spawned no less than three spin-off titles: [[Genso Suikoden Card Stories]], based on the newly released trading card game, and visual novels [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1]] and [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]].

===Sony PlayStation 2===
2002 saw the release of [[Suikoden III]], the first 3D entry of the series. Although it sold and reviewed well, series producer [[Murayama Yoshitaka]] would leave the team at the end of development. [[Kawano Junko]] would replace him as lead for 2004's [[Suikoden IV]] as well as its 2005 spin-off, [[Suikoden Tactics]].

[[Suikoden V]] was released in 2006 but despite positive reviews, failed to match previous sales numbers hit by Suikoden III and IV.

===Mobile, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP===
The series' first portable title came in 2006, with the release of [[Genso Suikoden I&II]], a compilation of the first two games, being released for the PSP.

In 2008, [[Suikoden Tierkreis]] was released for the Nintendo DS, abandoning the continuity built up by the previous games in favour of a new, independent setting. Prior to its release, [[Genso Suikoden Tierkreis Hoshikuzu no Shiro]], a mobile phone visual novel intended as a prequel to the new title, was also released. In 2011, [[Pachislot Genso Suikoden]] was released as a pachislot machine for Japanese gaming parlors, and later received a mobile port.

2012 saw the release of [[Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki]], set in a third separate continuity, on the Sony PSP, which produced average reviews and disappointing sales.

On September 16, 2022, [[Konami]] announced development of [[Suikoden I&II HD Remaster]], a HD compilation of the first two games in the series, marking the first new Suikoden game development in over a decade. Just prior to its release on March 6, 2025, a new original title was announced; [[Suikoden STAR LEAP]].

'''Suikoden STAR LEAP''' (幻想水滸伝スターリープ, ''Gensōsuikoden sutārīpu'') is the upcoming sixteenth installment of the [[Suikoden series]]. It was announced at the first Suikoden Live Broadcast, March 4, 2025. <ref>Suikoden Live Broadcast, March 4, 2025 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIjGwGAJJ4s Youtube.com]</ref>

It will be the fourth release of a Suikoden game on mobile phones after the release of [[Suikoden#Mobile devices|Suikoden]] (2008) and [[Suikoden II#Mobile devices|Suikoden II]] (2009) for the Konami Net DX service and [[Genso Suikoden Tierkreis Hoshikuzu no Shiro]] (2008). It will be the first RPG-style Suikoden title that has been directly developed for mobile platforms.

==Gameplay==

As the first mobile game of the series, Suikoden STAR LEAP adapts the gameplay style of the first two Suikoden games to a portable format.

From the preview presented in the Suikoden Live Broadcast, it appears that this title will feature a 3v3 version of Suikoden combat.

It has also been confirmed that there will be base building as players restore their village, and 108 new Stars of Destiny will be recruitable through the story, with additional characters from outside the story via gacha.

==Plot Overview==

Suikoden STAR LEAP starts on a village on the shore of a lake to the east of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. One night, [[Hero (Suikoden Suikoden STAR LEAP)|our hero]], son of the village chief [[Hou]], comes back home successful from his first hunt. The village is filled with celebration and brimming with hope for the coming days, but an assault is launched, and the fate of the village is changed in an instant.

Along with allies such as his maid [[Hisui]], [[Shirin]], and [[Shapur]], the hero embarks on a journey to restore peace to the village.

In the midst of the great whirlpool of destiny, the Hero's small adventure turns into a large ambition.

The story will revolve around the [[Rune of Change]], one of the [[27 True Runes]]. Characters from previous Suikoden games like [[Flik]], [[Humphrey Mintz|Humphrey]], [[Odessa Silverberg|Odessa]], or [[Viki]] may appear as cameos, and places in the Scarlet Moon Empire like [[Gregminster]], [[Lenankamp]], or [[Rockland]] will be visitable.

==Gacha==
Shinya Fujimatsu (Producer) "There are events and gacha as well, but think of them as additions."
(speculation) This implies that even though the story may skip around the timeline and include characters from previous games, to recruit characters from previous games this will need to be done via events and/or gacha mechanics.

'''Vincent de Boule''' (ヴァンサン・ド・ブール, ''Vansan do Būru'') is a character in [[Suikoden]] and [[Suikoden II]] who also makes a cameo in [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]]. Vincent is an aristocrat prone to fanciful claims although his noble standing is called into question by some.

==Profile==
===Appearance===
[[File:Vincent de Boule Suikoden II bust.png|left]]
Vincent de Boule is a pale, slender man clad in an elaborate outfit befitting his nobility. In [[Suikoden]], he wears a green vest, embroidered with gold, with white underclothes. He also wears a red cape, white ruffle and knee-high green, gold embroidered boots.

In [[Suikoden II]], his outfit is even more extravagant. His green outfit now consisting of puff shoulders, green and silver striped pantaloons, a large red ribbon around the waist and golden ribbons and bows tied around his white leggings and green shoes. He also wore a half-cape, emblazoned with a rose, over his right arm.

The white elements of his clothing were said to offset the more ostentatious offerings of his outfit while the coordination of green across all elements of his outfit were said to speak to his eye for coordination.

===Personality===
{{quote | The 'Rose Brooch' is just a trinket but our friendship is what is truly precious, non? | Vincent de Boule}}
[[File:Narcissist Tea Time.png|thumb|left|220px|Vincent (second from the right) enjoys tea with [[Milich Oppenheimer|Milich]], [[Simone Verdricci|Simone]] and [[Esmeralda]].]]Vincent always carried himself with poise and was rarely seen without a rose in his hand. His eccentric tone gave him a generally elusive air.

Some of his actions during the [[Gate Rune War]], such as his running out on bills and imprisonment led some to believe he was a fraudulent or self-proclaimed noble but both his inheritance and the investigations of [[Richmond]] would confirm that prior to the collapse of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], he was indeed a nobleman of the state.

Trust was something valued very highly by Vincent, as he felt that true friendship could not blossom from mistrust. He was deeply hurt by accusations that his sentiments and actions were not motivated by honesty. In his mind, the reason why he asked the hero to pay for his lodging in [[Antei]] was to make the young master reflect on the foolishness of not trusting others.

As a nobleman of the Scarlet Moon Empire, he was very much a soul mate of other aristocratic-inclined individuals such as [[Simone Verdricci]], [[Milich Oppenheimer]] and [[Esmeralda]] and often took tea and chatted with them. However, it was not only people similar in manners to him who Vincent could consider a soul mate.

As well as declaring [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] a dear friend for rescuing him during the Gate Rune War, he would later consider [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] his bosom friend, for aiding Simone during the [[Dunan Unification War]]. He would also remind Simone that their friendship was a beautiful bond that could not be weakened by the losing of trinkets.

Although it may seem like Vincent dispensed this title freely, he did not, in fact, devote himself lightly. He merely had several close friends whom he held a sincere respect for. His faith in such true friends, therefore, is not shaken easily and he is sure not to betray such friendships.

During the Gate Rune War, he would spend much of his time with Milich and Esmeralda, the atmosphere for their time together completely removed from the stresses of war. During the Dunan Unification War, he would spend his time with Simone in similar surroundings.

==History==
{{quote | Just think of the honor. I, Vincent de Boule, a pure-blooded aristocratic, will be indebted to you. You should be overjoyed. | Vincent de Boule}}
[[File:Vincent meets the Liberation Army leader.png|thumb|left|220px|Vincent was first encountered in [[Antei]], trying to charm his way out of paying for his meal.]]Vincent de Boule was a member of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] aristocracy. He was very much a natural noble, enjoying poetic conversations, hosting elegant tea parties and always making sure to be at the cutting edge of aristocratic fashion.

As a child, he used to sneak through a hidden entrance to visit the [[Dragon Knight's Domain]]. During these times, Vincent would often see [[Joshua Levenheit]] riding his dragon. Although the two did not seem to interact, for Vincent, a nobleman of the Empire, Joshua, the leader of the [[Knights of the Dragon's Den]], honored by the Empire, was a natural "dear friend".

During the [[Gate Rune War]], he first encountered the [[Toran Liberation Army]] in [[Antei]], where he skipped out on a meal due to a claimed lack of money. He would encounter the group again at the entrance to the [[Dragon's Den]], where he showed them his secret entrance to the guarded cave.

He would later be imprisoned in [[Moravia]] and when rescued he would immediately join the [[Toran Liberation Army]], discarding his noble status and joyfully embracing [[Hero (Suikoden)|its leader]] as a true friend.

Although a noble, he lost his title after the Gate Rune War, when the new [[Toran Republic]] abolished the Scarlet Moon nobility. Vincent was still entitled to return home and receive his inheritance, however. After that, he would use his funds to study abroad, travelling around the world. A month before arriving in the [[City-State of Jowston]], he would meet and become swift friends with [[Simone Verdricci]].

[[File:Vincent meets the New State Army leader.png|thumb|right|220px|In [[Radat Town]], Vincent searched for his dear friend, [[Simone Verdricci|Simone]].]]As the [[Dunan Unification War]] raged, he would join the [[New State Army]] after hearing how [[Hero (Suikoden II)|its leader]] had helped Simone recover the [[Rose Brooch]] Vincent had given him, although he would gently admonish Simone for thinking their friendship could be broken so easily by a lost trinket.

Following the war, he intended to continue his studies in the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]]. At some point, he would stop to enjoy himself with his aristocratic friends in the [[Toran Republic]]. [[Nash Latkje]] would find himself in the middle of one of these tea parties unexpectedly, thanks to a mishap from [[Viki]], although the intrusion did little to upset the civilized atmosphere.

Sometime later, around the year 469, Vincent would hold a beauty contest at that Toran location, where like-mind narcissist-types would socialize and compete with one another. Vincent would claim that his worldly travels over the years were to ensure this event was a success. He himself did not contribute a single [[potch]] to the event's funding. It was his dear friends, such as [[Milich Oppenheimer|Milich]] and Simone, who provided the money.

At the event, Vincent would award [[Augustine Nabor]] with a Rose Brooch with the two gentlemen becoming "dear friends" in the process.

==Name and Weapon==
Vincent is a male name derived from Vincentius (from the present participle of the Latin verb vincere, "to conquer or win"). His Japanese name does not use the standard katakana for Vincent (ヴィンセント, ''Vuinsento'') instead using Vansan (ヴァンサン). This is presumably to emphasize the French accented nature of his name.

Boule, meanwhile, is the French word for ball or bowl, and as a surname would have historically been used by people involved in the manufacturing of the same. Finally, "de" is a particle preceding a ''nom de terre'' in many French noble families. Starting around the 18th century, a lot of non-noble families in France adopted the ''de'' particle despite their common ancestry.

In battle, Vincent wields a rapier named "Enchante" (アンシャンテ, ''Anshante''), a French term meaning "nice to meet you" or more literally, "enchanted". The correct transcription would be ''enchanté'', with an accent on the last e.

This upgrades to "Savat" (サ・ヴァ, ''Sa Vua''), an erroneous localization of the French word "Ça va", meaning "it goes", usually used as "(Comment) ça va", meaning "How's it going/How are you?" and as a response meaning "I'm ok.". Its final upgrade is "Felicitation" (フェリシタシオン, ''Ferishitashion''), a form of congratulations and expression of good wishes.

==Music==
{{MP3
|title=The Narcissists, Once Again
|file=Theme of Narcissism Again
}}{{Main|The Narcissists (theme)}}
Vincent's theme in [[Suikoden]] is the song "The Narcissists". He shares this theme with [[Milich Oppenheimer]] and [[Esmeralda]]. The song is heard when first encountering Vincent in [[Antei]], again when interacting with him at the [[Dragon's Den]], and finally when recruiting him in [[Moravia]].

Following recruitment, the song will play whenever the player speaks to Vincent at [[Toran Castle]] and will continue playing until the player either returns to the center of the castle or speaks with [[Kasios]]. It is song 28 on disc 1 of the official [[Genso Suikoden Original Game Soundtrack]].

In [[Suikoden II]], the song is remixed as "The Narcissists, Once Again". He shares this theme with fellow narcissist [[Simone Verdricci]]. It is song 4 on disc 2 of box 1 of the [[Genso Suikoden II Original Game Soundtrack]].

'''Helen''' (マーサ, ''Māsa'') is a character from [[Genso Suikoden Short Story Collection 1]]. She is the grandmother of [[Viktor]].

==History==
Martha was the mother of [[Helen]], and the grandmother [[Viktor]] and [[Will]]. She lived with the rest of the family in the village of [[North Window]]. She was normally a quiet woman, but when the subject turned to marriage, she could become quite animated, especially at the prospect of Viktor and [[Daisy]] becoming engaged.

One reason for Viktor's journey to [[South Window City]] was to obtain some medicine for her after her daughter had injured her back. When North Window was attacked by [[Neclord]], she was killed by the [[zombie]]s of her former family.

'''Odo''' (オド, ''Odo'') is a supporting character in [[Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki]]. He is a gregarious apothecary current staying at [[Tios Fortress]] in order to tend to [[Yuyudraya]].

==History==
{{quote | I don't know why making the stuff's the only thing I'm good at, even more than being a parent! | Odo}}

Odo was an apothecary from [[Martylion]] and the father of [[Kiaro]]. He served alongside his son in the [[Holy Imperial calendar|HIY]] 100 [[Teras Pharma]] conflict providing support through his medicine-making skills. Initially he attempted to train his son as an apothecary but soon realized he was far more suited to herbology.

Following the conflict, Odo would remain at [[Tios Fortress]], treating the elderly [[Yuyudraya]] there while Kiaro wandered between there and [[Zephtelos Fortress]] in the south. Kiaro would plant an [[Era Tree]] at Tios Fortress, allowing [[Hero (Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki)|the hero]] to meet Odo.

Odo would attempt to arrange for [[Ketil]] to meet the Company to no avail but was able to introduce the group to [[Ufred]], though he found the nobleman's cries for Martylion independence bothersome rather than inspiring. Unable to leave Yuyudraya for long, in order to deliver a medicine to Kiaro he would teach the ability to make it to one of the Company's apothecaries so they could make it and deliver it.

Meeting [[Nido]], Odo was delighted at the prospect at having such a handsome descendant in his bloodline. [[Sunil]], meanwhile, left him smitten and a little perplexed at her obliviousness. When hearing that an Era Tree could not be planted in Martylion for the Company, Odo seemingly read between the lines and realized a grizzly future was in store for the city.

Following the war, Odo would continue to take care of Yuyudraya until her passing. Following this he returned to Martylion where he made medicines for Kiaro. In a world of the [[Infinity]] where the chains of causality were broken, he and Kiaro would board a migrant ship to a new land following Yuyudraya's passing.

Nasel bird

2023-12-18T11:23:23Z

Antimatzist:

'''Nasel birds''' (ナセル鳥, ''Naseru tori'') are a type of animal occasionally seen and referenced in the [[Suikoden series]].

==Information==
Nasel birds look like ordinary birds, but they can understand and sometimes even speak in the [[human]] language. For this reason, nasel birds have been used as points of contact in such diverse places as the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]] and the [[Dukedom of Gaien]].

[[Nash Latkje]]'s main point of contact with the [[Southern Frontier Defense Force]] was the nasel bird [[Dominguez]]. By the [[War of the Champions]], he was working with [[Dominguez Jr.]] instead.

Much earlier in history, the use of nasel birds by the [[Knights of Gaien]] for emergency communication was a well-kept secret, which was not to be shared with outsiders. The [[Orark Maritime Trade]] attacked several birds after [[Ramada]] was made aware of their existence due to a tongue-slip by [[Katarina]]. This cut off communications for the organization, several curtailing their ability to respond to pirate attacks.

In the words of some, runes "make the world the world," encompassing many elements of life, both physical and mental. Runes are the root of power for all that exist, for all the phenomenon in the world. Everything is symbolised or born from a rune.

In the beginning, there were only 27 runes in the world. These runes are called the [[27 True Runes]]. If a person is able to become an heir to a True Rune, they would obtain a truly powerful force. However, due to the enormity of this power, bearers of such runes and their friends, even history itself, can be affected and destroyed. Some wars, such as the [[Gate Rune War]] and the [[Dunan Unification War]] have been greatly affected by these runes.

Runes are usually fragments of True Runes, possessed with different abilities and powers based off the rune they came from. The abilities of a rune can vary greatly but they can usually give the ability to cast magic, strengthen weapons or enhance the bearer's physical ability. Of course, someone can be a warrior without the use of runes. However, for people and groups to gain influence without the power of runes is said to be very difficult indeed.

As long as the use of war as a driving force in civilization remains, the importance of runes as used by individuals or groups cannot be eliminated.

===Fixed Runes===
Runes usually exist within sealed orbs, allowing their transference to an individual by way of a [[rune master|runemaster]]. In rare cases, however, there are those who are born with a rune in their body. Such runes cannot be transferred to an orb, even through the hands of a rune master. Such runes are usually called "fixed runes."

Some runes are known only to exist as fixed runes while some may also be found and sold in sealed orbs for use with the aid of a rune master. It is said that those wielding a fixed rune can do so with greater prowess than someone who had the same attached from an orb. Some people born with a fixed rune can be treated with suspicion, such as the magician [[Sarah (Suikoden III)|Sarah]] who was ostracized as a "witch" for her abilities.

Though the power of such runes is incomparable to that of the [[27 True Runes]], they are similar in the respect that the rune bearer has been chosen by the rune they bear.

Imperial City Recapture Army

2023-12-08T08:50:34Z

Antimatzist: /* Information */

The '''Imperial City Recapture Army''' (王都奪還軍, ''Ōto Dakkan-gun'') is the protagonist's force in [[Suikoden V]]. It was formed to resist the [[Godwin Faction]] coup d'etat and formed one side of the [[Sun Rune War]].

==Information==
In [[Solar calendar|SY]] 449, the initial Imperial City Recapture Army was established by the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince of Falena]] to resist the [[Godwin Faction]], who had rebelled against the [[Queendom of Falena]]'s royal family, beginning the [[Sun Rune War]].

Initially, the force acted as a rebel army under the backing of [[Salum Barows]], but after the [[Barows Faction]]'s theft of the [[Dawn Rune]] came to light the two parted ways. At this point a truly independent forced led by the prince was born. With the aid of [[Lucretia Merces]], the army established the [[Ceras Lake Headquarters]] and became a formidable force both militarily and diplomatically.

As the Sun Rune War continued not only did the Recapture Army achieve victories in battle against the Godwin Faction but also entered into agreements with the [[Island Nations Federation]], [[Feitas Dragon Cavalry]], and even the Godwin's former allies in the [[New Armes Kingdom]].

Following the liberation of [[Sol-Falena]] and Queen [[Lymsleia Falenas]], the army would stand down with its officers falling into a variety of roles in the nation post-war.

'''Kidd''' (キッド, ''Kiddo'') is a supporting character in [[Suikoden III]]. Kidd is a boy detective whose cases usually turn out to be less than meets the eye.

==History==
{{quote | A boy detective. He claims he has solved many tough cases, but no one knows for sure. | Kidd's profile}}

[[File:Kidd's amazing detective work.png|220px|thumb|left|Sherlock Holmes was famous for that trick.]]
Kidd is a boy detective who puts on a red eye-mask and starts his investigations whenever an incident occurs. Although possessed with a heavy belief in his abilities, he usually remains unaware that the incidents he investigates inevitably turn out to be nothing worth fussing about.

During the [[War of the Champions]] he worked together with [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] to solve a murder case in the [[Duck Village]] (the [[Jonathan|victim]] turned out to be asleep after practicing yoga and not, in fact, a mangled corpse). Joining the [[Fire Bringer]] after this case, he was available to investigate members of the group.

His other cases in Duck Village were similar in nature. An allegedly kidnapped girl turned out to be merely wandering and the chief's stolen salted fish turned out to have been eaten by his wife. Still, Kidd remains undeterred. To him, it's the detective's theories and not the reality that mark a detective as great or not.

Following the war, Kidd took up the investigation of a kidnapped lady of the [[Black Rose Society]] in a foreign land.

This jizo can save the life of its holder by taking their place if they becomes incapacitated in battle. The item is somewhat valuable in the [[Toran (region)|Toran region]] because it was usually only sold by the [[Toran Liberation Army]] through [[Chandler]] or at [[Kirov]]'s item shop.

It is said that [[Viktor]] survived his confrontation with [[Neclord]] during the [[North Window]] tragedy due to a Sacrifice Buddha he had bought at [[Daisy]]'s request. The thief [[Hoi]], who was frequently accousted for his activites, also carried several of these for safety purposes.

'''Sasuke''' (サスケ, ''Sasuke'') is a character in [[Suikoden II]]. Sasuke is a young ninja who has a crush on [[Kasumi]].

==History==
{{quote| Well...that's...y'see.... Okay! Fine I'll go with you!! But only 'cause Hanzo ordered it! It's nothing to do with you! I mean, err.....umm....| Sasuke}}

Sasuke was a member of the [[Rokkaku]] ninja clan, known for his exceptional skills and dedication to improving his abilities. Unaware of his parentage as per Rokkaku tradition, he was the child of former Rokkaku vice leader, [[Hien]].

In the past, driven by his desire to become stronger, Sasuke pursued the acquisition of a rune. He also assumed the role of a bandit to challenge and test travelers passing through the [[Banner Pass]]. On one occasion, he crossed paths with the [[Hero (Suikoden)|leader]] of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], engaging in a confrontation.

As the events of the [[Dunan Unification War]] unfolded, Sasuke, who had been trained as a swallow ninja until the age of 12, lacked practical experience. Despite this, he possessed great talent and a relentless determination to improve his abilities. Following a visit by the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|hero]], Rokkaku leader [[Hanzo]] ordered Sasuke to join the [[New State Army]] alongside [[Mondo]].

Within the New State Army, Sasuke proved his worth by conducting reconnaissance missions, showcasing his skills in tasks such as the rescue of [[Ridley Wizen]], who had been captured by the [[Highland Kingdom]].

Throughout the war, Sasuke harbored a crush on [[Kasumi]], fellow Rokkaku ninja and member of the New State Army. Envious of her growth and development since the [[Gate Rune War]], he found himself unable to openly express his emotions, leading to occasional avoidance of her presence.

Following the conclusion of the Dunan Unification War, Sasuke returned to Rokkaku alongside Kasumi and Mondo, continuing his life as a member of the ninja clan.

Acoustician

2023-08-07T15:26:37Z

Antimatzist:

A '''phonologist''' (音職人, ''Oto Shokunin'' or 音楽家 ,''Ongakuka'') is a vocation in the [[Suikoden series]]. It describes people who can change and manipulate sounds.

==Information==
Phonologists are craftsmen with special skills related to the study and enriching of people's lives through the use of sound. Different from [[musician]]s, phonologists are able to manipulate various sounds by using items called [[Sound Set]]s. These were sometimes used in conjunction with a [[Sound Rune]].

It is said that there is a specialized institution for training such phonologists in the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]]. Both [[Connell]] and [[Melodye]] were Sound Rune-bearing phonologists.

== Etymology and misnomer ==

Phonology comes from Ancient Greek φωνή, phōnḗ, "voice, sound," and the suffix -logy (which is from Greek λόγος, lógos, "word, speech").

However, phonology is a misnomer for the Suikoden world occupation. In the real world, phonology describes a branch of linguistics which explores what functions sounds fulfil in a given language. The related area of phonetics, on the other hand, investigates how humans form and perceive sounds. Since Suikoden world phonologists seem to be occupied with sounds of any kind, their real life counterpart would be acousticians, which investigate the physical phenomenon of sound in a general sense.
