Bob (ボブ, Bobu) is a character in Suikoden II who also makes a cameo in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1. Bob is a lycanthrope whose village was destroyed by Windy.

History

Heh, fine. You're all right in my book. If you've earned the trust of so many, then you can have mine as well.

—  Bob

Bob is a lycanthrope who holds a Rabid Fang Rune. This rune helps him maintain his human form, although when his body is weakened, he transforms into his werewolf form more easily. With his enhanced werewolf strength, he could perform outstanding physical attacks. He used a hard staff as a weapon in his human form. Maintaining his hairstyle was one of his hobbies.

Bob was born into the Lycanthrope Village in the Grasslands; however, his homeland was destroyed by Windy. After its destruction, Bob became a wanderer, often being discriminated against and deceived by humans due to his half-beast nature. Due to this, he was very cautious and embittered but also a lonely figure.

In the Greenhill Forest, he was seen peeking out at others passing through the forest and interacting, wary but lonely. Eventually, as the Dunan Unification War flared up, Bob ended up in the kobold district of Two River City.

As the war continued, Bob wanted to join the New Alliance Army but was hesitant to trust the fledgling force due to the discrimination he had suffered. As the New Alliance Army grew bigger, and Bob saw the diversity of races who comprised the force, he eventually consented to the hero's request that he join.

After the Dunan Unification War, Bob returned to the kobold district of Two River where he was said to frequently complain, but nevertheless live a happy life.
