The Chief of the Elves (エルフの長老, Erufu no Chōrō, Elf Elder) is a minor character in Suikoden. The Chief of the Elves was the isolationist leader of the elven community atop Lukie Ende Towayo.
History
|
The Chief of the Elves ruled the elven Village of the Elves. He was a zealous believer in the superiority of the elves over all other races of the Great Forest.
The grandfather of Sylvina, the Chief of the Elves ignored the threat of the Scarlet Moon Empire as he viewed the non-elven nation as inferior and unthreatening.
He mocked those who warned him of Kwanda Rosman's plans to destroy the community with the Burning Mirror and even imprisoned those who tried to warn him such as Kirkis and Valeria.
In his own misguided way, he was attempting to preserve the strength and order of the Village of the Elves by ruthlessly countering any perceived weakness. In the end, the Chief of the Elves was one of the many elves killed when Kwanda Rosman's Burning Mirror destroyed Lukie Ende Towayo.
He was succeeded by Kirkis following the Gate Rune War.
