Biography

Suikoden

Commander Tir, when war breaks out, we'll rush to your aid.

— Joshua Levenheit

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. Having the ability to control dragons, he would be the eternal leader of Dragon Knights.

Although Joshua had allied with Emperor Barbarosa 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. During the Gate Rune War, Joshua was convinced to align his forces with the Toran Liberation Army after talking with Humphrey Mintz.

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. However, Joshua did arrive at the 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.

After the war, Joshua continued in his position as Captain of the Dragon Knights.

Trivia

Joshua Levenheit is the only character that never joins you at your castle, even after joining your forces.

A proud man<ref>"But I must warn you that Joshua is a proud man." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Joshua Levenheit was a firm believer in the autonomy of the Dragon Knights. During the [[War of Succession]], Joshua Levenheit and the Dragon Knights allied with the Crown Prince [[Barbarosa Rugner]] after being encouraged by the grace and the goodwill of the young emperor, but, maintaining Goya's autonomy, Joshua also took in fugitives from both sides of the conflict, such as [[Kreutz]], a general under [[Geil Rugner]]. Following the Succession War, the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] began to see the Dragon Knights not as allies, but as subjects. Many within the Dragon Knights grew dissatisfied with the Scarlet Moon Empire for this treatment<ref>"It is true that many of us have been dissatisfied with the present Emperor..." - Joshua Levenheit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
