A skilled fighter, Gremio is the protector of [[Tir McDohl]]. During the [[War of Succession]], Gremio was a soldier in [[Teo McDohl]]'s unit. Teo McDohl earned Gremio's eternal loyalty after Teo saved his life in the midst of a battle.

When Tir was a child, he was kidnapped by bandits hired by [[Geil Rugner]] in order to delay and stop Teo McDohl. Gremio rescued the young Tir, slaying the bandit kidnappers with his axe. After he rescued Tir, Gremio engraved the words, "I will always protect young master,"  onto his axe, giving it the name "Axe of the Oath<ref>"Oath's Hatchet," ([[Genso Suikoden Short Stories 1]])</ref>."

As Tir grew, Gremio continued to serve as his protector, accompanying Tir on his missions with the [[Imperial Guard]], watching over him per Teo's wishes<ref>"I hope you continue to watch over him." - Teo McDohl ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When [[Ted]], another member of the McDohl household, was found unconscious by Gremio, Tir, [[Cleo]], and [[Pahn]], Gremio was second to find him and helped place Ted into a bed<ref>"Ready?

As Tir grew, Gremio continued to serve as his protector, accompanying Tir on his missions with the [[Imperial Guard]].


Now fugitives, Gremio once again showed his resolve to protect Tir during a close call while hiding in [[Marie]]'s Inn; when ambushed by two Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers, Gremio asked Tir to escape while he and Cleo held off the soldiers<ref>"Young Master, get away while we hold them off." - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. This proved unnecessary as [[Viktor]] interceded between the Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers and Tir and his party and promised Tir and the others that he could get them out of Gregminster. With little choice, Gremio left [[Gregminster]] along with Cleo, Tir, and Viktor, who used some of Gremio's money in order to bribe their way out of Gregminster<ref>"What do you mean? Hey, my wallet! When did you...?" - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
After becoming branded as a fugitive, Gremio was forced to leave [[Gregminster]] along with Tir.  


Upon arriving in [[Lenankamp]] and meeting members of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], Gremio showed hesitated at joining the rebels, preferring to remain with the Scarlet Moon Empire<ref>"Why should Young Master join the Rebels? Right, Young Master?" - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref><ref>"Y-you've got to be kidding, Young Master. Join the Rebels? No way." - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. However, even Gremio could not stand by at the crimes of [[Grady]] and joined forces with the [[Toran Liberation Army]], feeling that undoing Grady's wrongs could only be of benefit to the Scarlet Moon Empire and that he would follow Tir's orders<ref>"Undoing Grady's wrongs would be good for the Empire... Besides, if Young Master gives the orders, I will follow." - Gremio [[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]]</ref>.
Although he wished to return to the Scarlet Moon Empire<ref>"Wait just a moment, Young Master. Talk like that and you'll never rejoin the Imperials. Don't you care? Come on Cleo, talk to him." - Gremio ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, he agreed to join the Toran Liberation Army, following Tir as his loyalty to Tir outweighed his loyalty to the Scarlet Moon Empire.

Wherever you go, I go, Young Master.

—  Gremio

Gremio is the protector of Tir McDohl. During the War of Succession, Gremio was a soldier in Teo McDohl's unit. Teo McDohl earned Gremio's eternal loyalty after Teo saved his life in the midst of a battle. Following the Succession War, Gremio became a member of the McDohl household, helping to raise Teo McDohl's son, Tir McDohl, since Tir was a baby[1]. A good cook, Gremio also often made the meals in the McDohl household.

When Tir was a child, he was kidnapped by bandits hired by Geil Rugner in order to delay and stop Teo McDohl. Gremio rescued the young Tir, slaying the bandit kidnappers with his axe. After he rescued Tir, Gremio engraved the words, "I will always protect young master," onto his axe, giving it the name "Axe of the Oath[2]."

As Tir grew, Gremio continued to serve as his protector, accompanying Tir on his missions with the Imperial Guard.

After becoming branded as a fugitive, Gremio was forced to leave Gregminster along with Tir.

Although he wished to return to the Scarlet Moon Empire[3], he agreed to join the Toran Liberation Army, following Tir as his loyalty to Tir outweighed his loyalty to the Scarlet Moon Empire. During a Toran Liberation Army attempt to free Liukan from Soniere Prison, Milich Oppenheimer smashed a vial of the man-eating Spores of Agony in order to stop them. Gremio quickly pushed the other Toran Liberation Army members out of the room and shut himself in the room, sacrificing his life for Tir. In his last words, Gremio told Tir how proud he was of him for growing into such a responsible, mature young leader[4].

Prior to the end of the Gate Rune War, Gremio was miraculously restored to life by Leknaat using the power of the 108 Stars and the back half of the Gate Rune[5]. Reborn, Gremio resumed his place in the Toran Liberation Army. Following the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire and the end of the Toran Liberation War, Gremio, ever loyal, continued to follow Tir after Tir left the Scarlet Moon Empire[6].

Trivia

  • Unlike Cleo and Pahn, Gremio does not have a diary that can be read in Suikoden.
