Following the end of the Toran Liberation War, Flik disappeared. Despite being missing, however, none of the Liberation Army doubted his survival.

===Dunan Mercenary===
After the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Flik and [[Viktor]] travelled to the [[City-State of Jowston]]. Although their personalities often clashed, they both relied heavily on the other and had a bond forged through battle and their experiences as part of the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. In the City-State, they were hired by [[Anabelle]], Mayor of [[Muse City]] to form a mercenary company.
Once the [[Dunan Unification War]] broke out, the mercenary army was charged with the defense of Muse City. Flik would begrudgingly accept the help of a [[Hero (Suikoden II)|youth]] he had found in the river after jumping from [[Tenzan Pass]]. Although Flik initially viewed the hero as a youth to be protected, he would grow to realise his talents and the two would become equal partners in the fight against the [[Highland Kingdom]].
As the war would continue and the hero would ascend to lead the [[New State Army]], Flik saw Odessa's ambitions for peace in the hero just as he had previously seen [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] inherit her ambitions some years before. This is what inspired Flik to continue fighting for the New State Army until the very end.
Once the Dunan Unification War came to a close, it seemed like Flik could have taken up a key position in the new [[Dunan Republic]]. Instead, like he did three years prior, Flik would leave the country he helped create and would continue on a journey with Viktor.

Though Flik grew up in [[Warriors' Village]] and followed some of their traditions, such as the naming of his sword<ref>"In the name of my sword Odessa, I will take your head!" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, he did not frequently return to the village and did not complete his trial of manhood<ref>"Mr. Flik still hasn't finished his own journey to manhood!" - Tengaar ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

Physically, Flik was said to be a handsome man<ref>"You're a handsome fellow." - Kimberly ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, a trait that got him unwanted attention from women at times, including with [[Kimberly]], [[Rina]], and [[Nina]].

Flik was deeply in love with Odessa Silverberg. When Flik learned of Odessa's death, he went into a state of shock<ref>"Master Tir, Flik is in shock after hearing about Lady Odessa. He's not usually like that." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  He felt a great deal of guilt that he had not become the leader that he felt Odessa had wanted him to be<ref>"Odessa used to say to me, 'You should be more aware of your position as a leader.' Those words are coming back to haunt me. Maybe she knew that her death was imminent. But I was unworthy of her expectations." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and decided that he would have to become a better man before he met Odessa in the afterlife<ref>"It's a bit too early to see Odessa again. Our reunion can wait until I become a better man." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Odessa remained on Flik's mind throughout much of the Toran Liberation War. Despite her death, he considered himself unavailable<ref>"Who, me? I-I can't. I have someone..." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, and even late into the night prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], he was still up late into the night thinking of Odessa<ref>"Oh, nothing. Just thinking." - Flik<br>"About...Lady Odessa?" - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Flik had a somewhat rocky relationship with [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]]; unwilling to accept him into the Toran Liberation Army at first<ref>"No way. Recently many of our hideouts have been discovered. There must be a spy among us. with all the problems we already have, we can't afford to recruit complete strangers." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Flik could not understand why Odessa trusted McDohl on important assignments<ref>"Odessa, I just don't get it. Why do you insist on this guy? He may be an Imperial spy. Yet you want to give him the blueprint for something that could change the destiny of the Liberation Army?" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  After joining forces, Flik began to notice the traits Odessa had seen in McDohl<ref>"Tir. I'm beginning to understand why Odessa chose you. You'd better live up to Odessa's, and Gremio's, expectations." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Flik became quite protective of McDohl, joining him on missions and even taking an arrow for him in Gregminster Palace.

During much of the Toran Liberation War, Flik was immature and hotheaded. Sanchez claimed that that immaturity was something that both he and Odessa had loved about Flik, as he was also a very honest person<ref>"Master Flik, you are immature. But that immaturity, that honesty, was something I coveted. And I'm sure that is why Lady Odessa loved you..." - Sanchez ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Due to his immaturity and rashness, Flik made some careless decisions, such as his ordering all troops to advance to [[Scarleticia Castle]] following the Toran Liberation Army's victory at the [[Fortress of Garan]] without doing any reconnaissance<ref>"Wrong! The enemy is careless right now. It's our chance to attack! Follow me, everybody!" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  Flik became more mature during the war. He gradually grew more tactical, such as when he advised McDohl that they bring Liukan to the [[Dragon's Den]], in order to make [[Joshua Levenheit]] more likely to commit to an alliance<ref>"Tir, this is our chance. He'll end up owing us a favor." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
