Hauser is a talented soldier who served as the commander of the [[Muse City]] forces. Hauser was held in high esteem and was believed to ensure the safety of the city<ref>"You're worried about the war? It'll be okay. Lord Hauser will protect our fair city." - Woman ([[Suikoden II]])</ref> as the strongest general in the [[City-State of Jowston]]<ref>"General Hauser is the strongest general in the State. I want to join the army and fight alongside him someday." - Child ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Hauser believed that the [[Highland Army]] massed at the [[Muse-Highland Border]] was a threat, but was unable to convince other leaders of the danger during the [[Hilltop Conference]].
Hauser was a talented military officer who served as the commander of the [[Muse City]] army. Due to his capable command, he had been able to stave off an invasion of the [[City-State of Jowston]] by the [[Highland Kingdom]] for some time prior to the outbreak of the [[Dunan Unification War]].


After the fall of Muse, Hauser, along with [[Jess]], headed to [[Tinto Principality]]. When [[Neclord]] came to Tinto, Hauser and Jess raised troops against him. Though Hauser saw the military strategy supported by Jess was risky<ref>"Lord Hauser. You, a great general of Muse, should know that this strategy is risky." - Ridley<br>"Yes..... But the orders can't be changed." - Hauser ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>, but supported them because the law of Muse placed Jess as acting mayor. Despite high casualties, thanks to the intervention of the [[New State Army]], Jess and Hauser were successful in defending Tinto and wiping out Neclord's [[Zombie|zombies]]. Afterwards, Jess and Hauser became part of the New State Army.
As a soldier, Hauser held a very strict attitude and made sure that all his actions as such were made on the basis of the law, refusing to fight as a military officer for any reason other than the law. When Muse City fell to the [[Highland Army]], he escaped the city with [[Jess]] before eventually joining the [[New State Army]] in [[Tinto City]].


Hauser fought in many of the battles of the [[Dunan Unification War]], slowing [[Highland Kingdom|Highland]] forces from occupied Muse during the occupation of [[Greenhill City]], aiding the escape of [[Hero (Suikoden II)]] from the [[Golden Wolf|Golden Wolves]] of Muse, commanding a unit in the liberation of [[Rockaxe]], and participating in the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden II)|Last Battle]].
After the war, Hauser became the commander of the [[Dunan Republican Army]].
 
After the war, Hauser became the commander of the [[Dunan Republican Army]]<ref>"Became commander of the Dunan national army." - Hauser's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
 
==Personality and Traits==
Hauser was said to be extremely tough and devoted to his job<ref>"Never seen anyone more devoted to his job.  Tough sonofabitch never even cracks a smile." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. He was considered the best military commander not only in [[Muse Principality]], but in the [[City-State of Jowston]]<ref>"General Hauser was the best military commander in the City-State of Jowston. He's good, believe me." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
 
Hauser had a deep respect for the law of Muse and was willing to die to uphold it<ref>"Even if it means your own life is taken?" - Ridley<br>"That's right." - Hauser ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Hauser believed that a soldier should never act on personal feelings and vowed not to act as a soldier for any reason but for reason of law so long as Muse still existed<ref>"As long as Muse still exists, I will follow the law of Muse. A soldier should not act on personal feelings. War is an exchange of lives, and I will not act as a soldier for other than reason of law." - Hauser ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
