[[File:Jowy inherits the Black Sword Rune.png|thumb|right|220px|Great! Love this for you! Bound to go well!]]Jowy was regarded as a peace-loving idealist by many, but was nonetheless prepared to betray his own morals to make his dreams a reality.

Although he did truly hate [[Luca Blight]] for his cruelty and evil deeds, Jowy was also fascinated by his strength and hoped to procure a similar strength that he could wield to protect others, not destroy them. In the end, Jowy's convictions led him to the conclusion that only power could establish a peaceful land.

Living in a loveless household, where even his mother could not openly show him much affection, Jowy always harbored an enviousness towards the home life of the hero, Nanami, and Genkaku. They were not related by blood, yet cherished each other regardless.

Eventually pushed back beyond its pre-war borders, the Highland Army made one final stand at [[L'Renouille]] before being defeated. As the end of the war loomed, Jowy would meet one final time with Jillia and Pilika. Securing the safety of Jillia and Pilika by making a residence for them in [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonia]], Jowy spent some final tender moments with them both, before escaping to Tenzan Pass where he awaited his friend and prepared to fight him in one final battle.

[[File:Jowy on the verge on death.png|thumb|right|220px|You can hear Anabelle cheering from the afterlife]]At Tenzan Pass, however, the hero refused to fight, and took several harsh blows from Jowy before the latter collapsed, dying from his overuse of his Black Sword Rune. At this stage, Jowy was prepared to die in order to enhance the hero's legend and increase the chances for a lasting peace. Fortuitously, [[Leknaat]] appeared and used the power of the [[108 Stars]] to heal Jowy's body. Finally the long conflict between the two friends had come to a resolution.

The two returned to Kyaro where they were reunited with Nanami, who both Jowy and his friend thought had perished at [[Rockaxe Castle]]. With the three best friends reunited at last, the group set off on a journey to see the world.

==Concept and Design==

[[File:Jowy Atreides concept art.png|220px|thumb|right|Jowy concept art by [[Ishikawa Fumi]]]]Initially, Jowy was shown in his designs as quite wild because he was older than [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] and was intended to be a delinquent-type character. As the characterization was finalized, Jowy's design became more lean and sympathetic-looking and his clothes changed to blue, in order to contrast with the red outfit of the hero. In early drafts, Jowy was wearing the same shoulder cloth as the hero but this design element was dropped.

After his return to [[Highland Kingdom|Highland]], Jowy wears white, the color of the Blight royal family. However, a blue garment is visible on his chest, as if to show his inner heart and the belief that surrounds it.
