Gorudo was the leader of the [[Matilda Knights]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]]. His priority was always the preservation of himself and his lands. Selfish, arrogant and missing a sense of justice, he was always in conflict with [[Miklotov]] in that fashion and demanded absolute loyalty through the knight's oath. | Gorudo was the leader of the [[Matilda Knights]] during the [[Dunan Unification War]]. His priority was always the preservation of himself and his lands. Selfish, arrogant and missing a sense of justice, he was always in conflict with [[Miklotov]] in that fashion and demanded absolute loyalty through the knight's oath in place of respect or leadership. He was also uncooperative with other members of the [[City-State of Jowston]]. | ||
During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Gorudo was skeptical of the claims that the [[Highland Army]] would invade [[Muse Principality]] and was reluctant to commit troops at the [[Hilltop Conference]] in [[Muse City]]. He would send [[Camus]] and Miklotov in the defense of Muse City only to have them retreat in short order. Since then, he maintained a neutral position and reacted very frostily to [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] when he attempted to form an alliance. | During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Gorudo was skeptical of the claims that the [[Highland Army]] would invade [[Muse Principality]] and was reluctant to commit troops at the [[Hilltop Conference]] in [[Muse City]].

When he refused to march out to aid Muse refugees fleeing from the Highland Army to Matilda, allowing them to be rounded up for their sacrifice in Muse City, Camus, Miklotov and many other knights renounced their oaths and left his service. This led to a decline in military power and Gorudo would surrender to the [[Highland Kingdom]], serving as a puppet ruler. | When he refused to march out to aid Muse refugees fleeing from the Highland Army to Matilda, allowing them to be rounded up for their sacrifice in Muse City, Camus, Miklotov and many other knights renounced their oaths and left his service. This led to a decline in military power and Gorudo would surrender to the [[Highland Kingdom]], willingly serving as a puppet ruler in order to maintain his position. | ||
During the New State Army infiltration of [[Rockaxe Castle]], he would order his archers to fire, hitting [[Nanami]] before attacking the leader of the army and [[Jowy Atreides]]. Enraged, the two killed Gorudo in battle. | During the New State Army infiltration of [[Rockaxe Castle]], he would order his archers to fire, hitting [[Nanami]] before attacking the leader of the army and [[Jowy Atreides]].
