Sasarai is always dressed in a [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] bishop’s uniform, but his uniform's appearance differs with each game. In [[Suikoden II]], he wears a blue robe with white trim and the Harmonian insignia on the front and a large bishop’s hat with the same insignia. In [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]], his hat is smaller, and he also has a short, dark blue cape draped about his shoulders. In [[Suikoden III]], he does not wear a hat, and his robes have been replaced with a blue shirt with white trim with the Harmonian insignia on the front and white pants.

In Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2, he can be seen with a ring on the middle finger of his right hand. In his Suikoden III artwork, he is shown to have one on the left hand as well. His weapon is a ring called “Guardian Eye,” so these may be to enhance his magic.

Sasarai was created in [[Solar calendar|SY]] 444 along with his brother, [[Luc]], as a clone of [[Hikusaak]] and a host for the [[True Earth Rune]]. He was raised in the [[One Temple]] as a bishop and was kept ignorant of his true nature. At some point in his childhood, he and Luc were involved in some sort of incident at the temple. It appears they saw each other when [[Leknaat]] appeared to take Luc away from the temple but the exact details are unknown. Sasarai did not have many friends in his life, but his sub-Commander [[Dios]] tried his best to fulfill the role and look out for Sasarai's well-being when he could.

[[File:Luc confronts Sasarai.jpg|thumb|220px|Sasarai finds himself attacked by [[Luc]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]].]]During the [[Dunan Unification War]] in 460, Sasarai was sent to aid the [[Highland Kingdom]] in the conflict. At first, he was calm and effective as an ally, but he would begin to feel uneasy due to [[Luc]]'s presence among the [[New State Army]]. Later, Luc confronted him directly on the battlefield, devastating Sasarai’s troops with a powerful spell. Although Sasarai demanded to know what connection Luc had to him, Luc refused to answer Sasarai’s question. Sasarai managed to escape Luc’s attack using his [[True Earth Rune]] and did not reappear during the war.

Following the war, back in [[Crystal Valley]], Sasarai discreetly assisted [[Lena Suphina]] in saving [[Nash Latkje]]’s younger sister, [[Julie Latkje|Julie]], from [[Zaj Quiroz]]. This would not only help keep Harmonia politically stable; Zaj's schemes would have culminated in an attempt to bring down the government, it would also cause Nash to owe a favor that he would have to pay back himself.

[[File:Sasarai joins the Fire Bringer.jpg|thumb|220px|Sasarai relays [[Luc]]'s plans after joining the [[Fire Bringer]].]] As the [[War of the Champions]] raged on, [[Luc]] would infiltrate the [[One Temple]] and reveal that Sasarai was created as a clone of [[Hikusaak]] and given the position as bishop to keep him close. After losing his [[True Earth Rune]] to Luc, Sasarai would look to ally with the [[Fire Bringer]] in order to prevent Luc’s destructive plan from coming to fruition. Although upset violently by the revelations of his creation, Sasarai held fast to his beliefs in order to avoid the catastrophic destruction Luc would have caused.

At the [[Ceremonial Site]], Sasarai confronted Luc for a final duel, which he lost. However, Luc spared Sasarai's life, telling him that while he hated Sasarai more than anyone else, he could also empathize with him.

Following Luc’s defeat and with his True Earth Rune regained, Sasarai would return to service as a bishop within Harmonia but continued to be plagued by existentialist doubts regarding his being.
