Hoi is a thief from [[Kanakan]]. During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Hoi began to impersonate [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] in order to take advantage of his name. Hoi pulled this trick several times, including in [[South Window City]], [[Two River City]], and [[Radat Town]], using the scheme to bilk on bills without paying.
Hoi is a thief from [[Kanakan]] who has been involved in various petty crimes across the land. During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Hoi began to impersonate [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] in order to take advantage of his name. Hoi pulled this trick several times, including in [[South Window City]], [[Two River City]], and [[Radat Town]], using the scheme to bilk on bills without paying.


The real leader of the New State Army, who happened to be in Radat, was spotted by the crowd as they confronted Hoi and was mistaken for another lookalike. Both men would be beaten up by the crowd and Hoi, believing his partner to be another lookalike, offered to join forces, but when the two returned to [[North Window]], Hoi realized his mistake.

Hoi remained in the [[New State Army]] for the duration of the war. He wielded tonfa in battle, just like the hero, and their similar naming was possibly part of his impersonation grift. Following the conflict, Hoi briefly decided to retire from thievery, but soon realized that this was a mistake and quickly returned to his life of petty theft.

Following the conflict, Hoi briefly decided to retire from thievery, aiming to work dilligenty, but soon realized that this was a mistake and quickly returned to his life of petty larceny.
