Why do I...fight? There's no reason why women shouldn't. Just like men, women have things they want to protect.

— Cleo

Cleo (クレオ, Kureo) is a supporting character in Suikoden who makes a cameo in Suikoden II. Cleo is a servant of the McDohl household who followed her charge into the Toran Liberation Army during the Gate Rune War. In battle, Cleo uses throwing knives, flinging them with great force at the enemy. Cleo was known to hold the manner of both a gentle woman and powerful warrior in the role of the hero's protector and companion.

Cleo served as a direct subordinate of General Teo McDohl, living in his Gregminster home along with Gremio and Pahn. She and the hero held a close bond having watched him grow from infancy, with Cleo regarding him with real love as something akin to a younger brother. Cleo was also a knife throwing expert and there are heroic tales of her felling dozens of mounted cavalry on the battlefield single handedly with her knives.

When on a mission to Magician's Island, Cleo would be met by Leknaat who would tell her than her duty was to protect the hero before gifting her with a Fire Rune. Although puzzled as to why she was addressed specifically, as events would begin to spiral out of control, Cleo would remember these words and continue her efforts in playing out her role. Later, when Kraze Miles came to collect Ted, Cleo stood her ground defending the McDohl household, arguing that no one could enter Teo McDohl's household without just cause. (more...)

-In the past, the Highland region existed as part of the southern territories of the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]]. The Highland Kingdom was founded in [[Solar calendar|the year]] 237. In that year, [[Mauro Blight]] received the [[Beast Rune]] and the title of King from Harmonia for his work in quelling civil war in the nation. Although ostensibly a reward for faithful service, the lands were granted with an ulterior motive; to provide Harmonia with a buffer zone against rebellious states, such as the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]].

-Highland has always maintained an intimate relationship with Harmonia. Since the establishment of Highland, the two nations have always been in alliance. However, that does not mean that trust is very high between the two. Although Harmonia is willing to support Highland with reinforcements, they will also not hesitate to send spies to infiltrate the country.
