	~~Joshua Levenheit was the bearer~~ of the [[Dragon Rune]], one of the [[27 True Runes]], and the eternal commander of the [[Knights of the Dragon's Den]]. A man of profound magnanimity and unwavering sincerity, he was revered by all under his banner. The circumstances of his inheritance of the Dragon Rune remain shrouded in mystery~~, but it~~ is known that he rose to prominence in an age of ~~great upheaval~~.		The circumstances surrounding Joshua’s inheritance of the [[Dragon Rune]] remain shrouded in mystery. What is known is that he rose to prominence in an age of turmoil, the Dragon Rune binding his spirit to that of the [[dragon]]s and granting him both their command and their continued existence in the mortal realm.

	~~Endowed~~ with ~~the power to command [[dragon]]s and sustain their existence in the mortal realm~~, Joshua ~~bore~~ the ~~burden of immortality across~~ two centuries, ~~leading the Dragon Knights~~. ~~His mastery of~~ the ~~Dragon Rune rendered him a figure~~ of ~~immense martial prowess, and his spirit~~ was ~~inextricably bound to all dragons. Unlike his brethren, he rode no single mount, for he grieved~~ as ~~a father for every dragon lost and bore~~ the ~~weight~~ of ~~their deaths as~~ his own ~~failing~~.		Burdened with immortality, Joshua guided the Dragon Knights for over two centuries, never claiming a single dragon as his mount. To him, the loss of any dragon was as grievous as the death of his own kin.

	===Friendship with Humphrey===		===Friendship with Humphrey===
	Joshua held [[Humphrey Mintz]] in high esteem, considering him a trusted friend. Their first meeting came when Humphrey, then a [[Centurion]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], was dispatched to investigate rumors of a dragon’s rampage. Joshua accompanied him, and though his slight frame belied his station, his skill in battle was beyond question.		Joshua held [[Humphrey Mintz]] in high esteem, considering him a trusted friend.

Joshua accompanied him, and though his slight frame belied his station, his skill in battle was beyond question.

	Together, they confronted the undead dragon [[Sterling]], who had risen as a revenant to guard its fallen master. ~~When~~ Humphrey defied orders to preserve Sterling’s honor, ~~Joshua declared him~~ a sworn ally of the Dragon Knights.		Together, they confronted the undead dragon [[Sterling]], who had risen as a revenant to guard its fallen master. Humphrey defied his orders in order to preserve Sterling’s honor, an act that earned Joshua’s admiration. From that day, Humphrey was regarded as a sworn ally of the Dragon Knights.

	Though Joshua had ~~once~~ pledged fealty to [[Barbarossa Rugner\|Emperor Barbarossa]] during the [[War of Succession]], the ~~empire’s~~ growing corruption and disdain for the Dragon Knights ~~stirred his righteous fury~~.		Though Joshua had pledged fealty to [[Barbarossa Rugner\|Emperor Barbarossa]] during the [[War of Succession]], the growing corruption of the Scarlet Moon Empire and its increasing disdain for the Dragon Knights caused a rift.

	During the [[Gate Rune War]] , ~~Joshua was persuaded to lend his strength to~~ the [[~~Toran Liberation Army~~]] ~~after counsel from~~ Humphrey and the sage [[Liukan]]~~, who aided in curing the knights' poisoned dragons. It fell~~ to ~~Joshua to make the grievous choice of using [[Black]]'s liver for~~ the ~~antidote, and he alone bore the sorrow~~ of ~~informing~~ the ~~young knight~~ [[~~Futch~~]] ~~of the deed~~.		During the [[Gate Rune War]], when the dragons were struck down by [[Windy]]'s poison, Joshua was persuaded by Humphrey and the sage [[Liukan]] to seek the aid of the [[Toran Liberation Army]].

	~~Knowing~~ Futch would ~~face~~ expulsion, Joshua ~~sought to console him, entrusting him~~ to Humphrey’s care ~~in the hope that one day~~, ~~he might return. Some speculate~~ the Dragon ~~Rune granted Joshua~~ foresight ~~of Futch’s destiny~~.		An antidote was devised, but it required the liver of [[Black]], the dragon of the young knight [[Futch]]. Joshua bore the terrible responsibility of informing Futch of the sacrifice, knowing it would result in his expulsion from the order. Seeking to ease his grief, Joshua entrusted Futch to Humphrey’s care, perhaps guided by the Dragon Rune’s foresight into the boy's future.

Even after joining the Liberation Army, Joshua remained in the [[Dragon Knight's Domain]], for his death would spell doom for all dragons. Moreover, prolonged absence risked the Dragon Rune's power over Goya waning, leaving the younger dragons unrestrained.

	With the help of Joshua and Knights of the Dragon's Den, the power of the Liberation Army grew immensely. Joshua usually coordinated the Dragon Knights' war effort from Goya.

			===Dragon Knight Commander===
			Joshua Levenheit was the bearer of the [[Dragon Rune]], one of the [[27 True Runes]], and the eternal commander of the [[Knights of the Dragon's Den]]. A man of profound magnanimity and unwavering sincerity, he was revered by all under his banner. The circumstances of his inheritance of the Dragon Rune remain shrouded in mystery, but it is known that he rose to prominence in an age of great upheaval.

	~~As bearer of~~ the [[~~Dragon Rune~~]], ~~one~~ of ~~the [[27 True Runes]]~~, ~~Joshua Levenheit led~~ the [[Knights of the Dragon~~'s Den]] as its commander. He was known as~~ a ~~man~~ of ~~great magnanimity and sincerity~~, and was ~~truly admired by~~ all ~~Dragon Knights~~. ~~Exactly how~~ he ~~inherited the Dragon Rune is unknown~~, ~~but it is known that it was during~~ a ~~time~~ of ~~great turmoil in many regions~~.		Endowed with the power to command [[dragon]]s and sustain their existence in the mortal realm, Joshua bore the burden of immortality, leading the Dragon Knights for over two centuries. His mastery of the Dragon Rune rendered him a figure of immense martial prowess, and his spirit was inextricably bound to all dragons. Unlike his brethren, he rode no single mount, for he grieved as a father for every dragon lost and bore the weight of their deaths as his own failing.

	~~Having the ability to control~~ [[~~dragon\|dragons~~]] ~~and with the Dragon Rune's power to sustain dragons~~ in ~~this world~~, ~~he would hold the burden~~ of ~~being~~ the ~~eternal leader~~ of ~~the Dragon Knights, having lived for over 200 years~~. ~~His control over the Dragon Rune made~~ him ~~an extremely powerful person~~ and ~~also~~, in ~~a sense, bonded him to all dragons. As such, he did not have a personal mount. He grieved deeply for the loss of any dragon and took all responsibility on himself~~.		===Friendship with Humphrey===
			Joshua held [[Humphrey Mintz]] in high esteem, considering him a trusted friend. Their first meeting came when Humphrey, then a [[Centurion]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], was dispatched to investigate rumors of a dragon’s rampage. Joshua accompanied him, and though his slight frame belied his station, his skill in battle was beyond question.

	Joshua was a friend of [[Humphrey Mintz]] and also apparently admired by [[Vincent De Boule]]. Joshua first met Humphrey when the [[centurion]] was sent to the Dragon's Den as part of a mission to investigate a suspected dragon attack.		Together, they confronted the undead dragon [[Sterling]], who had risen as a revenant to guard its fallen master. When Humphrey defied orders to preserve Sterling’s honor, Joshua declared him a sworn ally of the Dragon Knights.

	Joshua would accompany Humphrey during the investigation. Although he did not often leave the Dragon's Den and had a slight build, he still considered himself a skilled Dragon Knight in terms of combat.

	Together, the ~~two would defeat the~~ dragon [[Sterling]], who had ~~transformed into~~ a ~~zombie dragon~~ to ~~protect~~ its master~~'s body~~. ~~He would declare~~ Humphrey a ~~friend and~~ ally of the Dragon Knights ~~following their mission, as Humphrey disobeyed his orders to bring its corpse to his superior in order to preserve Sterling's dignity~~.

			===Gate Rune War===
	[[File:Joshua encounters the great Liukan.png\|220px\|thumb\|left\|Oh you're gonna pay a lot for this one, Joshua.]]		[[File:Joshua encounters the great Liukan.png\|220px\|thumb\|left\|Oh you're gonna pay a lot for this one, Joshua.]]
	~~Although~~ Joshua had ~~allied with~~ [[Barbarossa Rugner\|Emperor Barbarossa]] during the [[War of Succession]], the growing corruption ~~in the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] as well as its shift in attitude towards~~ the Dragon Knights ~~earned Joshua's indignation~~.		Though Joshua had once pledged fealty to [[Barbarossa Rugner\|Emperor Barbarossa]] during the [[War of Succession]], the empire’s growing corruption and disdain for the Dragon Knights stirred his righteous fury.

	During the [[Gate Rune War]], Joshua was ~~convinced~~ to ~~align~~ his ~~forces with~~ the [[Toran Liberation Army]] after ~~talking with~~ Humphrey and ~~receiving~~ the ~~aid of~~ [[Liukan]] in curing ~~their~~ poisoned ~~[[dragon]]s~~. ~~He was the one who had~~ to make the ~~harsh decision to use~~ [[Black]]'s liver ~~to prepare~~ the antidote~~. He was also~~ the ~~one who told~~ Futch ~~what had happened and~~ the ~~repercussions of his decision as leader~~.		During the [[Gate Rune War]] , Joshua was persuaded to lend his strength to the [[Toran Liberation Army]] after counsel from Humphrey and the sage [[Liukan]], who aided in curing the knights' poisoned dragons. It fell to Joshua to make the grievous choice of using [[Black]]'s liver for the antidote, and he alone bore the sorrow of informing the young knight [[Futch]] of the deed.

	~~He tried his best to help and protect [[~~Futch~~]], even knowing the youth~~ would ~~be expelled. Although he knew no exception could be given to Futch's~~ expulsion ~~no matter the circumstances~~, ~~he wished~~ to ~~help Futch overcome his grief and hold on~~ to hope that he ~~could someday~~ return~~, entrusting him to his old friend, Humphrey~~. ~~It is speculated that Joshua's~~ Dragon Rune ~~also allowed him to have some inkling~~ of ~~the future Futch could embrace~~.		Knowing Futch would face expulsion, Joshua sought to console him, entrusting him to Humphrey’s care in the hope that one day, he might return. Some speculate the Dragon Rune granted Joshua foresight of Futch’s destiny.

	Even after joining the Liberation Army, Joshua ~~did not move to [[Toran Castle]], but~~ remained ~~within~~ the [[Dragon Knight's Domain]]~~. This was because he was burdened with the heavy responsibility that if he died~~, all dragons ~~would perish~~. ~~He was also wary that if he left~~ the [[Dragon~~'s Den]] for too long~~, the ~~effect of the Dragon Rune would fade and he would lose control of the as-yet mentally unstable young~~ dragons.		===Legacy===

	~~Joshua arrived at~~ the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)\|last battle]], ~~where he used his~~ Dragon Rune to amplify Leknaat's half of the Gate Rune ~~and thus overpowered~~ Windy's ~~half of the Gate Rune, sending all~~ her summoned ~~monsters back where they came from~~.		At the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)\|last battle]], Joshua channeled the Dragon Rune's might to amplify [[Leknaat]]'s half of the [[Gate Rune]], overwhelming Windy's sorcery and banishing her summoned horrors.

	~~After~~ the war, Joshua ~~continued in~~ his ~~position as Captain of the Dragon Knights~~. ~~At some point before the [[War of the Champions]]~~ he ~~would pass on~~ the Dragon Rune to [[Milia]], ~~but it is unknown what prompted this change, be it Joshua's~~ death or ~~the~~ abdication ~~of his self-imposed duty~~.		Following the war, Joshua retained his command. In time, he passed the Dragon Rune to [[Milia]], though whether by death or abdication remains unknown.
