===Appearance===
[[File:Templeton (S1 HDR portrait).png|left|155px]]
Templeton had golden-brown hair, neatly cut just above his shoulders. He had light blue eyes.
His attire was designed for comfort while traveling. In [[Suikoden]], he wore a blue waistcoat with gold trim over his white shirt, with a red tie. He also wore white socks and simple beige shoes.
By [[Suikoden II]], his outfit consisted of a navy blue hat with a yellow band, a white shirt with red tie, a cream-colored vest, and knee-length gray trousers. He also wore tall, dark blue socks and black shoes.
His shorts especially allowed him greater freedom of movement while traveling. When traveling, he carried a large backpack filled with cartography equipment and supplies, ensuring he was always prepared for his work.

Templeton possessed an insatiable curiosity about the world, which fueled his passion for cartography. His dedication to his craft was unwavering, and he took great pride in his work, sometimes coming off as a little cocky due to his recognized talent and maturity at such a young age.
However, his confidence was well-earned, as he was a master cartographer despite his youth. He was highly observant, able to pick up on small details such as [[Nash Latkje]]'s [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] accent after a short conversation.
Though he often traveled alone, he believed that people were generally kind to children, making his journey easier. He also held the belief that only adults who lacked self-confidence would talk down to others, such as children.

While initially dismissive of those not knowledgeable in the intricacies of his work, he eventually grew to appreciate those like [[Colin]], who valued more than just the final result of his maps.
Templeton was not just skilled at cartography but also highly adaptable in war. His knowledge of terrain gave him an advantage, allowing him to lead troops through shortcuts and escape danger when necessary. These shortcuts are also how Templeton kept himself safe despite traveling alone.
His advanced knowledge of secret paths, routes, and shortcuts allowed him to easily escape and evade most danger, be it from bandits or monsters. These skills in navigation and understanding local customs were invaluable to Templeton in both military and civilian life.

Templeton was a young cartographer from the land of [[Kanakan]] who dedicated his youth toward mapping the entire world in perfect detail and accuracy. For maximum detail, he chose to traverse the world himself, step by step.
Templeton was born in [[Kanakan]] and became fascinated with maps at a young age. His passion was ignited when he first saw a map at the age of five or six, brought to his village by a traveling merchant.
 
This fascination soon turned into an obsession as he collected maps and began noticing the discrepancies between different renderings of the same areas. Determined to create the most accurate map of the world, he set out on a lifelong journey to map every corner of the land with perfect detail.


[[File:Templeton laments the destroyed Village of the Elves.png|220px|thumb|left|Priorities.]]
[[File:Templeton laments the destroyed Village of the Elves.png|220px|thumb|left|Priorities.]]
While traveling the world, expanding his map, he would have to update his map whenever there was a new discovery. Although young, the zeal he put into his task was exemplary.
His travels took him through many lands, constantly updating his maps as new discoveries were made or as territories changed due to warfare. He eventually joined the [[Toran Liberation Army]] during the [[Gate Rune War]] after witnessing the destruction of the [[Village of the Elves]], lamenting the need to update his maps due to war.


He would join the [[Toran Liberation Army]] during the [[Gate Rune War]], meeting [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] at the burnt remains of the [[Village of the Elves]]. Lamenting the need to adjust his maps, he would join the army in order to prevent more tragedies such as had befallen the Village of the Elves.
He provided the army with a [[Suiko Map|world map]] and worked at [[Toran Castle]], meticulously mapping its interior. After the war, he set out to find the edge of the world.


He provided the Liberation Army with the [[World Map]] and continued to work hard at [[Toran Castle]], mapping its interior from his dedicated workspace. After the war ended, he journeyed the sea in order to find the edge of the world.
Three years later, Templeton traveled through the [[Dunan (region)|Dunan region]], starting in [[South Window City]]. He was mistaken for a suspicious individual and brought to the [[Mercenary Fortress]], where he reunited with [[Viktor]] and [[Flik]].


Three years later, he traveled the [[Dunan (region)|Dunan region]] where he met [[Nash Latkje]] in [[Muse City]], deciding to share a room in the inn with him. When Nash noted it must be difficult for a boy to travel alone, Templeton stated that people were more likely to treat a child kindly. He also felt it was only adults who lacked in self-confidence who talked down to others.
Though he refused Viktor's request to map the [[Highland Kingdom]] on behalf of [[Muse Principality]], he agreed to map the fortress in exchange for lodging. He later left his map with [[Leona]] before departing.


He then went to the [[Mercenary Fortress]] and [[Toto Village]], only to find them ravaged by the [[Highland Kingdom]] forces. He subsequently joined [[New State Army]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]] in order to not only have new places to map but also to oppose forces that would either stop him from mapping their facilities or would destroy towns, leaving them to be remapped.
On his journey, he met [[Colin]], an aspiring mercenary, and eventually grew to appreciate his enthusiasm for his work. After parting ways, he encountered [[Nash Latkje]] in [[Muse City]] and shared a room with him at an inn.


During the war, Templeton thought about returning to [[Toran Castle]] for a while once it ended, but then resumed his journey to find the edge of the world.
[[File:Templeton joins the New Alliance Army.png|220px|thumb|right|Priorities II.]]
He later escaped Muse when the [[Highland Army]] attacked, only to discover the destruction of [[Toto Village]] and the death of Colin. This would drive Templeton to join the [[New Alliance Army]], not only to explore new places but also to oppose forces that either restricted his cartography efforts or destroyed towns, forcing him to remap them.


==Abilities==
He played a key role in battle, using his extensive knowledge of terrain to aid military movements. After the war, he considered returning to [[Toran Castle]] but ultimately resumed his quest to find the edge of the world.
[[File:Templeton offers his cartography talents.png|thumb|right|220px|Would you like to see a map of the world map?]]Despite his young age, Templeton is already an able cartographer who mapped the whole [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] and [[City-State of Jowston]], creating two [[World Map]]s in the process.


His abilities also proved useful in war battles, as he fought on the front-line together with [[Hugo (Suikoden)|Hugo]] and [[Sergei]] in the [[Gate Rune War]]. His knowing of the terrain especially came in handy in battles against the [[Highland Kingdom]], as he led his unit through shortcuts.
By this point, his maps of Toran, Dunan, and his homeland of Kanakan were likely as complete as possible. His expertise in cartography and navigation had proven invaluable, and despite his young age, he had mapped the entirety of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] and the [[City-States of Jowston]], creating two full maps in the process.
 
He is not only well versed in the art of cartography, but also knows a lot of the local habits of certain areas. Thus, he was able to notice [[Nash Latkje]]'s [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] accent when they met in [[Muse City]] only after a short dialogue.
