Ted is the former owner of the [[Rune of Life and Death]] and a survivor of the destruction of the [[Village of the Hidden Rune]]. Ted acquired his rune at a young age, when [[Windy]] came to the Village of the Hidden Rune seeking the Rune of Life and Death. Ted's grandfather, the [[Village Chief]], then the bearer of the Rune of Life and Death as well as the chief of the village, passed it on to Ted<ref>"Oh Soul Eater, rune of life and death, depart my body and give this boy your power." - Village Chief([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, apologizing for the sorrowful fate that he had bestowed upon his grandson<ref>"I'm afraid I've passed on a sorrowful fate unto you." - Village Chief ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Using himself as a diversion, Ted's grandfather ordered Ted to use a secret path to reach the village outskirts<ref>"Remember that the power of this rune must never be unleashed. Travelers, up ahead is a secret path which leads to the village's outskirts. Take Ted - this child - and run. I will get Windy's attention and act as a decoy."  - Village Chief ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. After this, Ted was forced to wander for over 300 years<ref>"I've been wandering the world for 300 years, trying to escape from her." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, eventually being adopted by [[Teo McDohl]]<ref>"I owe so much to Master Teo, who adopted me when I was an orphan, and I want to return the favor. OK?" - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Ted grew particularly close to Teo's son, [[Tir McDohl]], considering him the only true friend he had had in the past 300 years<ref>"Tir.... In 300 years, you were my only... My only true friend." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Ted journeyed with Tir during his time with the [[Imperial Guard]]<ref>"Please let me join your entourage." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, going with Tir to [[Magician's Island]] to receive the [[Astral Conclusions]] and helping Tir investigate why [[Rockland]] refused to pay its taxes. When Tir, Ted, and their party travelled to [[Mt. Seifu]] in order to apprehend the [[Mt. Seifu Bandits]], they encountered a [[Queen Ant]], a monster the party was unable to destroy. In order to save the group, Ted used the Rune of Life and Death in order to destroy the Queen Ant, allowing the group to travel forward. When [[Kanaan]] and [[Gremio]] asked Ted how he had done what he had done, he refused to discuss it at the time, saying he would answer their questions when they arrived at home, but not now<ref>"Sorry, but I can't explain right now. Tir, I'll tell you when we get home. But don't ask now. Anyway, let's get rid of the bandits and go back to Gregminster." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Upon their return to [[Gregminster]], Kanaan told Ted to come with him<ref>"Ted, you come with me." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Leading Ted back to Gregminster Palace, Kaanan alerted [[Kraze Miles]] and Windy to the rune that Ted had used on Mt. Seifu. After Kraze alerted Windy to Ted's rune, she came to see him, noting that it had been a long time and telling Ted that he had not changed a bit in the last 300 years<ref>"It's been a while, hasn't it, little man. You haven't changed a bit in 300 years. I"m envious." - Windy ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Ted recognized Windy immediately<ref>"You! You're that witch!" - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>; Windy, noting that Ted had never left her mind in the past 300 years, demanded that he give her the Soul Eater<ref>"Of course you've never left my mind for a moment. Now give me that rune you have in your right hand." - Windy ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Ted managed to get away from Windy, but was heavily injured; he collapsed on the doorway of the McDohl's residence.

After discovering Ted, Tir, [[Cleo]], [[Pahn]] and Gremio put him to bed; Ted passed in and out of consciousness, attempting to relate to Tir what had happened to him. After being able to relate part of what had happened to him, Ted passed out, and soon after, Pahn left, ostensibly to get medicine for Ted<ref>"Young Master... Ted's fever isn't getting any better. I'm going to go wake up the shopkeeper and buy some medicine." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Stirring to consciousness soon after Pahn left, Ted revealed the Rune of Life and Death to Tir, and asked Tir to take it, as he could not escape with his wounds and Ted felt the Rune of Life and Death must never fall into Windy's hands<ref>"But....., you're the only one! Please! Please protect this rune! This Cursed Rune must never fall into the hands of Windy. You're the only one I can entrust this to. Please, take it.... Please take this rune." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Ted passed the Soul Eater on with a heavy heart, knowing the sorrow that it would bring<ref>"I hate to bring friendship into this. And knowing it will bring unhappiness." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Ted told Tir that, should the rune bring him sorrow, he should blame Ted for it<ref>"Thank you, Tir. This rune... may bring you suffering. If it does, blame me. But you must never...., never let it fall into Windy's hands. Give me your right hand. Tir." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. After finally being relieved of the burden of the Rune of Life and Death, however, Ted finally felt that he could relax<ref>"And now.... I... can... Relax." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

However, Ted did not have long to relax, as the Imperial Guard arrived to collect him, informed of his whereabouts by Pahn. Though Cleo and Gremio attempted to prevent Kraze from taking Ted, Ted urged them to leave with Tir, while the Imperial Guard still thought that Ted had the Rune of Life and Death<ref>"Tir..., they think... I still have the "Soul Eater". I'll be the bait...while you escape." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Forced by Windy to encounter Tir at [[Seek Valley]], Ted was able to use the proximity of the Rune of Life and Death in order to regain some control over his body.

I now return... the 300 years of life... that you gave me, Soul Eater.." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. In his finals words, Ted addressed Tir, telling him that he had chosen his path, and that Tir should take care and live his life to the fullest, for Ted's sake as well as his own<ref>"Don't look like that...

Biography

Suikoden

Tir.... In 300 years, you were my only... My only true friend.

—  Ted

Ted is the former owner of the Rune of Life and Death and a survivor of the destruction of the Village of the Hidden Rune. Ted acquired his rune at a young age, when Windy came to the Village of the Hidden Rune seeking the Rune of Life and Death. Ted's grandfather, the Village Chief passed it on to Ted[1]. Ted was able to escape but was forced to wander for over 300 years[2], eventually being adopted by Teo McDohl[3].

Ted grew particularly close to Teo's son, Tir McDohl, considering Tir his only true friend in the past 300 years[4]. Ted journeyed with Tir during his time with the Imperial Guard. When Tir, Ted and Kanaan travelled to Mt. Seifu, they encountered a Queen Ant, a monster they were unable to destroy. In order to save the group, Ted used the Rune of Life and Death.

Upon their return to Gregminster, Kanaan led Ted back to Gregminster Palace, where he alerted Kraze Miles and Windy to the rune. Windy demanded that Ted give her the Soul Eater; Ted managed to get away, but was heavily injured and collapsed on the doorway of the McDohl's residence.

After discovering Ted, Tir, Cleo, Pahn and Gremio put him to bed. Stirring to consciousness, Ted revealed his rune to Tir and asked him to take it, as he could not escape. Ted passed the Soul Eater on with a heavy heart, knowing the sorrow that it would bring[5].

Soon after, the Imperial Guard arrived to collect him. Ted urged Tir to leave while the Imperial Guard still thought that Ted had the rune. Ted was captured by the Scarlet Moon Empire and given a Conqueror Rune by Windy, which took control of his body. Forced by Windy to encounter Tir at Seek Valley, Ted was able to use the proximity of the Rune of Life and Death in order to regain some control of his actions.

Mustering the power of the Soul Eater, Ted was able to gain just enough power to gain control of his body[6]. Addressing the Soul Eater as its former master, Ted commanded the Soul Eater to take his soul. In his final words, Ted addressed Tir, telling him that Tir should live his life to the fullest, for Ted's sake as well as his own[7].
