Biography

Suikoden II

Adlai is a self-proclaimed genius inventor, although there is little evidence that any more than a handful of his designs that have been completed and worked. His eccentricities and inventions have caused a lot of damage, making him something of a nuisance to those who live near his home in South Window City, which doubles as his laboratory. The salvation of those hapless residents would be the leader of the New State Army.

Adlai rudely demanded several errands from him and after one order too far, a Wind Crystal soared towards his head by some unexpected coincidence. The shock apparently inspired Adlai to continue his work on the elevator mechanism. Joining the New State Army, he immediately headed for North Window Castle and installed an elevator there.

The possibility that the elevator is Adlai's first (and last) successful invention is undeniable, but with his elevator running and its merits plain to see, it appears his talent as an engineer is, in fact, genuine.
