==History==

Chiepoo was a young [[Nay-Kobold]] who broke with the tradition of his village on [[Nay Island]] and left with the goal of becoming a great merchant. Filled with curiosity, Chiepoo had a bright and cheerful personality and eventually found his way to [[Razril]]. He would work at the item store there, stocking shelves.

During the [[Kindling Ritual]] ceremony for newly graduated [[Knights of Gaien]], Chiepoo would alert the fledgling knights to a kidnapping attempt in the town's back streets. Chiepoo's call for help would allow the child to be rescued and the [[Kidnapper]] to be vanquished.

Later, when [[Hero (Suikoden IV)|the hero]] was exiled, Chiepoo would stowaway on his boat, unaware of its nature, hoping to find somewhere new to explore and learn about business. When the ship washed up on the [[Deserted Island]], he would curious as to whether the various crabs on the island would make for good food. This curiosity eventually drew the ire of the [[Boss Crab]], and Chiepoo would have to be rescued by his crew mates.

Following their departure from the Deserted Island and subsequent rescue by the [[Kingdom of Obel]], Chiepoo would continue to journey with the hero, eventually becoming part of the [[Headquarters Ship]] crew and a member of the [[Allied Forces]]. Chiepoo's help would prove vital in recovering the [[Golden Seal]] when it was stolen by [[Nalkul]] on Nay Island.

During this adventure, Chiepoo was surprised to find out he was something of a folk hero to some at the [[Nay-Kobold Settlement]], including Nalkul and [[Champo]]. He would spend the [[Island Liberation War]] learning about the specialties of every island the ship visited, expanding his business acumen. As the war progressed, he continued to show concern for the hero's continued use of the [[Rune of Punishment]].

Once the war ended, Chiepoo continued to travel for a time before establishing his business, [[Chiepoo & Co.]], on the [[Deserted Island]].
