Biography
Suikoden
|
A skilled archer, Cleo is a warrior who served under Teo McDohl during the War of Succession of the Scarlet Moon Empire. As a commander of an archery unit, Cleo grew close to Teo, the two becoming confidants. Cleo eventually came to live within the McDohl household, helping Teo to raise his young son. Cleo also kept a diary of her thoughts in her room at the McDohl household in Gregminster, but it was always securely locked. Fiercely loyal and highly protective of her charge, Cleo served with him in the Imperial Guard, and received a Fire Crystal from Leknaat to help her in her duties[1]. Cleo also aided Ted when he escaped from Windy, injured; Cleo was one of the first to notice that his wounds were magically inflicted[2]. When Kraze Miles came to collect Ted, Cleo stood her ground defending the McDohl household, arguing that no one could enter Teo McDohl's household without just cause[3].
Cleo chose to accompany McDohl after he became a fugitive of the Scarlet Moon Empire, escaping Gregminster along with Gremio and Viktor. After meeting members of the Toran Liberation Army, Cleo wondered if they should join them, but worried what Teo McDohl would think of them for doing it[4]. Cleo continued to follow McDohl as he helped to stop some of the unjust practices of the Scarlet Moon Empire. Cleo was disgusted by Grady's incredibly cruel treatment of Varkas and Sydonia[5], finding that Grady was unforgivable for his actions[6]. Cleo began to have doubts that the Scarlet Moon Empire would ever allow them to return[7], but waited until the group returned to Lenankamp before making the decision to ultimately join the Toran Liberation Army along with Gremio, saying that she would stay by McDohl's side[8].
Cleo remained by her Young Master's side as he ascended to the position of the leader of the Toran Liberation Army, regularly travelling on missions and always ready to protect him. Keeping her reputation of a battle-hardened warrior in combat, Cleo was nonetheless deeply affected by the events of the war, including witnessing Gremio's death in Soniere Prison and fighting in the battle against Teo[9]. As a woman, some saw her choice to become a soldier unusual[10], but, as she noted, women have things they want to protect just as men do[11] . Hix was especially caught off-guard by her fighting since women were not allowed to be soldiers in his native Warriors' Village. Cleo continued to serve Tir throughout the war, pleased as Tir matured into an important person[12], though she missed him[13].
Following the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire and the end of the Gate Rune War, a war-weary Cleo retired from active military service, instead becoming the keeper of the McDohl household while McDohl was away[14].

Trivia
- Despite her weapon names indicating that she would wield a sword, Cleo's weapons are actually throwing knives. This may be a translation error, as in the Japanese version of Suikoden, Cleo's weapons are described with the kanji "刀", which, while meaning sword today, is an archaic word for dagger.
- Cleo's diary is the only one in the McDohl mansion in Gregminster that is always unreadable.
