Teo McDohl: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

Just prior to the war, Teo undertook a mission to subdue lake bandits in [[Gouran]]. These bandits were funded by [[Assam]] as part of [[Geil Rugner]]'s plot to divide and isolate Barbarosa's allies before taking the throne. When Geil's plotting came to fruition, Teo blamed himself for not seeing through Geil and [[Assam]]'s schemes, absolving [[Gremio]] for being unable to prevent his son's abduction.

Hearing Assam's ultimatum; to meet in a decisive battle without the famed Armored Cavalry's armor, Teo rejected it out of hand, unwilling to compromise his loyalty and beliefs for the ransoming of his son. Still, the incident greatly affected the morale of the unit and his good friend, [[Ain Gide]], even volunteered to have his cavalry take the lead in the ensuing battle. Thankfully, news of his son's rescue would reach the battlefield, galvanizing Teo's forces and ensuring a one-sided victory.

Teo never remarried after his only wife, the mother of [[Hero (Suikoden)|his son]] passed away due to illness shortly after his birth. It seems that she was a commoner and an unaffected and sincere sort who was deserving of the term "wise mother." In the past, it was Teo who adopted Ted, thinking him a war orphan. Teo was also an old friend of [[Ain Gide]], Commander of the [[Fortress of Kwaba]]. Teo did not think highly of [[Kraze Miles]], regarding him as a weakling. He also seemed to have some form of relationship with fellow general [[Sonya Shulen]].

Line 36:

His son's ascension to leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]] was considered by some to have sullied Teo's name. Teo himself swore to show no mercy for his son. An initial victory in battle saw the Liberation Army forced to retreat with Teo's advance only staved off after losing a duel against [[Pahn]], although whether Teo held back is undetermined.

The rematch ended in a total victory for the Liberation Army and Teo's first and only loss in battle, thanks to the Liberation Army's use of [[Fire Spear]]s. However, Teo refused to surrender, challenging his son to a duel which was accepted. Teo was defeated in the duel and with his final words admitted he fought for the ~~Emperor~~ out of stubbornness and gave blessing to his son's choice. His final words told his son how proud he was that his son had surpassed himself.
