Hero (Suikoden II): Difference between revisions

Line 51:

On the eve of their return to their home, the Unicorn Brigade came under a night attack at [[Tenzan Pass]]. Attempting to flee, the hero and Jowy discovered that the raid was not carried out by the [[City-State of Jowston]], but by [[Luca Blight]] under the guise of an attack, a betrayal. The two were eventually corned on a cliff by Captain [[Rowd]]. With no other choice, the two made the desperate decision to jump into the rapids below.

He was discovered by [[Viktor]] and [[Flik]]. He would escape with Jowy's aid and return to Kyaro Town where they were condemned as spies of the City-State. After being rescued from execution by Viktor, he would be forced to flee the [[Mercenary Fortress]] when the Highland Army invaded.

Making their way to [[Toto Village]], they entered an open shrine there. There, they found [[Leknaat]], the guardian of [[Gate Rune]]. Encouraging them to enter further, both the hero and Jowy were shown the memories of their peaceful childhood and their failures in protecting those they cared for. Desiring the power to protect people, the hero would gain the [[Bright Shield Rune]].

Making his way to [[Muse City]], the hero continued to fight in Viktor's mercenary army, but became regarded as a hero in his own right after playing a pivotal role in defeating [[Solon Jhee]]. [[Shu]] would then ask him to lead a [[New State Army]] against the invading Highland forces. Although Nanami protested the idea, the hero believed that he couldn't ignore the threat of Luca Blight's ambition, and after listening to the story of Genkaku, the man who raised him, decided to lead the force. Upon taking the mantel of leadership, Leknaat appeared once again to tell the hero that the [[108 Stars]] would gather under him, and lent him the [[Stone Tablet of Promise]] and the services of [[Luc]] to that effect.

As leader of the New State Army, the hero helped repel the Highland advance. However, the army was soundly defeated by the power of Luca Blight himself. Learning that Luca was planning a night attack, an ambush was prepared but despite his wounds, attacked the hero, pushing the two in a fatal duel. The hero would emerge victorious, ending the battle but not the war.

With the death of Luca, Jowy had ascended to become King of Highland. While both had the same desire for peace, the hero and Jowy's differences in how to pursue this meant that he would quickly stand opposed to Jowy, with the support of Nanami, Viktor and many other allies.

While both had the same desire for peace, the hero and Jowy's differences in how to pursue this meant that he would quickly stand opposed to Jowy, with the support of Nanami, Viktor and many other allies. Just before the New State Army siege on [[Greenhill City]], Jowy would meet with the hero, asking him to stop fighting. However, the hero couldn't give up the friends who have helped him and the hope he held. With the same feelings spurring Jowy forward, this marked the moment when the two best friends realized that their battle was inevitable as befitting the bearers of the two halves of the [[Rune of Beginning]].

Despite his own losses such as the loss of his friendship with Jowy and the apparent death of Nanami at [[Rockaxe Castle]], he continued to grow as a leader and fought for his dream; a peaceful world for his friends to live in. Although it started as a small group, the New State Army would gain rapid momentum, becoming a mighty torrent backed by the charm and magnetism of its leader. He would lead the army to victory, sweeping away the [[Highland Kingdom]] and ending the [[Dunan Unification War]].
