==History==

The Prince was born eldest child of [[Arshtat Falenas]] and [[Ferid]]. It was once Falenan tradition that a first-born son in the royal family would be killed in order to avoid bad luck and disaster from affecting the nation but this would never be a serious concern in this situation. Having no right to the throne, the Prince was regarded as inconsequential within Falenan politics. However, his parents gave him just as much love as they did his younger sister, [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]], who also held great affection for him. This, along with the devoted protection and friendship of his bodyguard, [[Lyon]], ensured that the Prince would long for nothing as he grew up in Sol-Falena.

As a child, the Prince, along with his family, would often travel to [[Lordlake]] to stay with Lord [[Rodney Rondot Rovere|Rovere]]. On one occasion, he and Lyon attempted to sneak out of the manor to explore the forests surrounding the area. However, they ended up being spotted and prevented from leaving by the manor guards. The Prince and Lyon would later be chided by Ferid and Rovere, not for attempting to leave the manor to explore, but for being stopped from doing so. When he was younger, the Prince was actually looked down upon by his younger sister for not being in line to the throne before she ~~realised~~ the love the Prince had for her.

===Rising Responsibilities===

After the [[Lordlake Uprising]] in [[Solar calendar|SY]] 447, more responsibility was placed on the Prince's shoulders, being sent to investigate the town two years later, along with [[Lyon]], [[Sialeeds]] and [[Georg Prime]]. This investigation gave him his first view of the wider world as well as an insight into the problems creeping across Falena. After this, he began to learn about the [[Sun Rune]]'s influence over his mother, being drawn further into Falenan politics, a move met with distaste by the Senatorial factions.

He helped uncover part of the [[Godwin Faction]]'s plans while attending the [[Sacred Games]] in [[Stormfist]], although conclusive evidence could not be obtained. Despite the royal family's best preparation based on this information, the [[Queen's Assassination]] plot succeeded and the Prince was forced to escape the [[Sun Palace]] along with Lyon, Sialeeds, Georg Prime and [[Zegai]]. They eventually managed to make it to [[Barows Faction|Barows]] territory and fought alongside him for a time until the realization of the Barows involvement in the Lordlake Uprising and the theft of the [[Dawn Rune]], which the Prince inherited.

===As Leader of the Imperial City Recapture Army===

Eventually, the Prince became the leader of the [[Imperial City Recapture Army]], dedicated to restoring order to Falena rather than giving control to the Godwin faction. Thanks to the help of skilled strategist, [[Lucretia Merces]], a base was secured at [[Ceras Lake]] and the army soon held over two-thirds of Falena under their control. However, an attempt to rescue Princess Lymsleia on the field of battle led to the ~~betrayl~~ of the Prince's aunt, Sialeeds, and the mortal wounding of his bodyguard and close friend, Lyon.

Saving her life with the Dawn Rune, the Prince traveled to the [[Deep Twilight Forest]] ruins in order to gain more power to heal her completely. With the help of [[Lorelai]], [[Zweig]] and [[Killey]], he was successful, eventually healing Lyon with his new-found power, although she needed a lot of time to fully recover. Although the Recapture Army suffered a run of setbacks following the Godwin alliance with the [[New Armes Kingdom]], the Prince was eventually able to turn things around with the help of Lucretia along with Georg Prime.

==Name and Weapon==

The hero of [[Suikoden V]] has no in-game name, but is occasionally referred to by different names in other publications and releases. He was initially referred to as '''Faroush''', (ファルーシュ, ''Farūshu''), a portmanteau of his parents' names in a promotional save file released in Japan. This name would be supplanted in fandom use by [[Genso Suikoden V (book)|the 2005 novelisation]] where he is called '''Freyjadour''' (フレイアドゥール, ''Fureiadoūru''). This is now the name in common usage in the English-speaking fandom. The manga releases give him another name, '''Ardil''' (アーディル, ''Ādiru'').

In his guest appearances in Konami's '''''pop'n music''''' series, the hero is referred to as '''Prince of Falena'''.

In ~~guide books~~, he is usually referred to as Hero V (主人公V) or some variant thereof, such as V主人公 to distinguish himself as the protagonist of the fifth Suikoden title.

The Prince's weapon is an articulated tri-nunchaku. It is a national treasure of the [[Queendom of Falena]] that has been handed down to him. When not in use, it is stored on the back of the body by a belt with a holder, and when in use, the central piece, which is split in two when stored, is connected and combined.
