Much of his reputation came from the [[Solar calendar|SY]] 299 [[Dukedom of Gaien|Gaien]] attack on [[El-Eal Fortress]]. Captaining a single ship, he was able to put the rout several ships belonging to the [[Middleport]] fleet. Surviving [[Knights of Gaien]], including [[Glen Cott]], would tell stories of his prowess, causing him to be regarded with something approaching awe in [[Razril]] and Gaien.

Although defeated in the duel, Troy was offered the chance to surrender and leave his sinking ship but he refused the offer, believing that he should die as a soldier and went down with his ship.

Troy (トロイ, Toroi) is an antagonist in Suikoden IV. Known as the "Child of the Sea God", Troy serves as commander of the Kooluk Empire's first fleet.

History

But if you launch an attack of that scale, the people on the islands will...

—  Troy

Troy was a member of the Kooluk Empire's Imperial Faction who, as well as being a skilled warrior, also served as the talented and resourceful commander of the 1st Kooluk Fleet. His reputation and regard were such that he was spoken of as the "Child of the Sea God".

Youth and Mermaid Encounter

As a young cadet, Troy displayed exceptional academic and tactical promise, yet his reserved nature and difficulty with social integration were noted by his instructors. He often sought solitude along the shore to escape the stifling atmosphere of peer rivalries, finding peace in the rhythm of the waves.

"Oh why couldn't she have the fish part on top and lady part on the bottom?"

His first documented encounter with a mermaid occurred during one such retreat. Having commandeered a small, abandoned dinghy to row offshore, Troy fell asleep and awoke to find himself far out to sea. He quickly realized the boat was being propelled by an unseen force. Prepared for a confrontation, he was astonished when the entity revealed itself not as a monster, but as a young mermaid with distinctive red hair.

This initial meeting was not an isolated incident. The same mermaid began to appear consistently when Troy was at sea, maintaining a cautious distance but clearly recognizing him. Over time, their interactions developed into a recurring, if silent, rapport, with the mermaid often performing graceful leaps near his vessel.

The encounters fostered within him a noted sense of longing for the serene and beautiful world beneath the waves, a stark contrast to the complexities of human society. This unique relationship continued even after his graduation and rise through the military ranks.[2]

Naval Captain of Kooluk

W-why did you try and kill us only to let us go???

Much of his reputation came from the SY 299 Gaien attack on El-Eal Fortress. Captaining a single ship, he was able to put to rout several ships belonging to the Middleport fleet. Surviving Knights of Gaien, including Glen Cott, would tell stories of his prowess, causing him to be regarded with something approaching awe in Razril and Gaien.

He worked with Colton to implement the Governor's Southern Expansion Policy although he disagreed with Graham Cray's methods and was worried about the political machinations of the Patriarchal Faction. During a scouting mission near Razril, he would meet the hero and his friends as they were adrift as sea. When they overheard an incrimination conversation between Troy and a contact, he would choose to not impede their escape, believing them to be unimportant.

As the conflict with the Island Nations grew into the Island Liberation War, Troy found himself isolated from the Governor by Cray's machinations. His attempts to ascertain imperial approval were frequently stymied and he would speculate with Colton whether the Patriarchal Faction's Central Committee were interfering in affairs at El-Eal Fortress.

Troy would argue against the use of the Magnus Rune Cannon to destroy Iluya Island, mindful that it could galvanize resistance to Kooluk plans in the region, but his concerns were dismissed. Later in the war, he would journey to Na-Nal Island, convincing the Na-Nal Island Chief that an alliance would be in both their best interests. However, the alliance quickly dissipated when the Kooluk soldiers there reacted with retaliatory slaughter after being poisoned by the Elven Remedy, bringing Na-Nal and the Allied Forces into accord.

Reborn as a 6-foot sack of fish food.

As great as he was as a warrior and general, Troy's forces would be outmaneuvered by the stratagems of Elenor Silverberg as the war continued. Helmut would note that in his opinion, Troy was unassailable as an opponent in normal circumstances but that Cray's political intrigue and the collapse of El-Eal's administration ceded the advantage to the Allied Forces.[3]

Once El-Eal Fortress fell in the final battle, he would have his fleet surrender and then immediately challenge the Allied Forces leader to a final duel as their ships prepared to flee the fortress' destruction. Defeated in the duel, Troy was offered the chance to surrender and leave his sinking ship, but he refused the offer, believing that he should die as a soldier and went down with his ship.

In his final moments, he realized that the man who had sealed his fate was the same person he had let escape so long ago. In Kooluk, he would be remembered as the last truly great member of the Imperial Faction with his death marking the decline of the faction.
