}}

The '''hero''' (主人公, ''Shujinkō''), known by several different names, is the protagonist of [[Suikoden II]]. He is the adopted son of [[Genkaku]] who grows to become leader of the [[New State Army]]. He also makes cameo appearances in [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1]] and [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2|Vol.2]].

==Profile==

===Appearance===

[[File:Odessa headshot.png|left|150px]]Odessa is a young woman with long brown hair and hazel eyes. As the leader of the [[Toran Liberation War]], she wears a grey tunic fitted to her waist by a brown corset. Under this she wears white leggings and her outfit is accented with brown gloves and boots. To complete her outfit, she wears a red cape as well as a small circlet around his head.

In her youth as an Imperial noble, she seems to have mainly worn long dresses. In battle, Odessa wields a common bow, holding it in her left hand, marking her as right-handed.

===Personality===

The hero was noted for his strength, but also his lack of belligerence. He fought solely to protect others, as the [[Bright Shield Rune]] he inherited symbolizes. Living up to the expectations of those who relied on his strength was a major motivation for him to continue fighting even through the despair of the [[Dunan Unification War]].

[[Shu]] saw in him the hope of the people of [[City-State of Jowston|Jowston]], not merely as the son of [[Genkaku]], but as his own person. Because of this, Shu would push the hero to become the leader of the [[New State Army]] despite his youth.

Even were he to abandon his duties and flee with [[Nanami]] from [[Tinto Principality]], it is likely that this too would be an attempt to fulfil her wish. In the end, his lack of hostility is what would allow both he and [[Jowy Atreides]] to survive their duel at [[Tenzan Pass]].
