[[File:Axe of the Oath 3.png|thumb|left|220px|If only he had had his bandana....]]The hero was born to [[Great General]] [[Teo McDohl]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. His mother came from a common background and was considered to be a wise and caring ~~women~~. However, she passed away from illness soon after his birth and so the hero was mostly raised by [[Gremio]], Teo's attendant. As a child, he was extremely clingy with his father as his only surviving parent, even trying to sneak into his carriage so he could travel with him on military expeditions.

As a child, he was extremely clingy with his father as his only surviving parent, even trying to sneak into his carriage so he could travel with him on military expeditions.

During the [[War of Succession]], McDohl was kidnapped by [[Assam]] as leverage to use against his father. Taken to [[Sarady]], he would be rescued by the efforts of Gremio, [[Eiji]], and [[Ronettes]]. This experience, and Gremio's tenacity in finding him, endeared the young master to Gremio.

[[File:McDohl takes the axe.png|thumb|left|220px|Kinda grisly but free is free.]]Prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Viktor would give the hero [[Gremio]]'s copper axe. At the time of the tragedy in [[Soniere Prison]], the hero did not want to take Gremio's cloak and axe because he felt that if he did, it would mean accepting Gremio's death. But the many battles he had fought had made him a better and stronger man. Accepting the axe, the hero was now determined to win the battle for Gremio and for his many friends. Eventually, with help from his colleagues, he was able to lead the Liberation Army to victory, defeating the Empire and overthrowing Emperor Barbarosa.

Following the war, he was offered the position of President of the [[Toran Republic]], but refused the position. He had fought for his friends, for his comrades who died believing in him, and above all for what he believed in. Such a position was meaningless to him. Entrusting his affairs to [[Lepant]], he left the country on a journey.

The hero of [[Suikoden]] has no in-game name, but is occasionally referred to by different names in other publications and releases. A playthrough of [[Suikoden II]] or [[Suikoden III]] without any Suikoden data on it will have him referred to simply by his last name, '''McDohl''' (マクドール, ''Makudōru'').

All [[Genso Suikoden Card Stories]] cards featuring him also refer to him as McDohl. In the 1999 novelization, [[Genso Suikoden Soul Eater]], as well as the 2008 [[Radio Genso Suikoden: Assemble! 108 Stars!]] radio drama, he is called '''Tir''' (ティル, ''Tyiru''), the most popular name used for him by fans. The 2009 manga, [[Genso Suikoden The Succeed Crest]], gives him a different name, '''Louie''' (リューイ, ''Ryūi'').

In ~~guide books~~, he is usually referred to as Hero (主人公) or some variant thereof, such as I主人公 or 主人公I to distinguish himself as the protagonist of the first Suikoden title. In game, he uses an alias when passing through the [[Fortress of Kwaba]], choosing between '''Masamune''' (マサムネ, ''Masamune''), '''Piisuke''' (ピースケ, ''Pīsuke'') and '''Schtolteheim Reinbach IV''' (シュトルテハイム・ラインバッハ4世, ''Shutorutehaimu Rainbahha 4-sei'').
