Biography

Suikoden

Hold on tight, or you'll fall off. Not that I'd mind if one of you did fall off.

—  Futch

Futch is a Dragon Knight who was partnered with the dragon Black. During the Gate Rune War, Futch and Black were hired to escort Tir McDohl and his party to Magician's Island.

Later, Futch was reunited with Tir and helped to wake the dragons of their sleeping sickness. Futch rushed off to gain a needed ingredient, the Black dragon orchid, from Gregminster Palace's Floating Garden.

Futch found the Black Dragon Orchid with the help of Emperor Barbarosa Rugner. As Futch was leaving, Windy attacked him using magic; Black was killed but Futch survived wiht the black dragon orchid intact.

After Futch woke, Joshua Levenheit told Futch that, as he had lost his dragon, he could no longer stay with the Dragon Knights[1]. Joshua Levenheit asked Humphrey Mintz to look over Futch. Futch thought that Black had allowed himself to die in order to save Futch's life[2].

Futch spent much of his time with the Toran Liberation Army in mourning for Black[3].

Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Futch departed with Humphrey on a journey[4].

Suikoden II

I, Futch, Former 9th Rank Dragon Knight, will fight by your side.

—  Futch

Futch and Humphrey headed toward Crystal Valley to research dragons but were slowed by the Dunan Unification War and were forced to stay in Highway Village. Futch befriended Kent and would share stores of dragons and the Dragon Knights with him.

When Kent failed to return home, Futch took part in a search for him on Mt. Rakutei. After rescuing Kent, they found a dragon's egg. Though Futch was hesitant to claim the creature[5], he eventually christened the new pup Bright.

Futch and Humphrey joined the New State Army to repay Riou for his help in searching for Kent. After the war, Humphrey and Futch continued on their jouney to Crystal Valley[6].

Trivia

  • Futch's weapons in Suikoden and Suikoden II, Verserk, Sigmund, and Sigurd are all names of Norse heroes, although Verserk is a poor translation of Vorsung. Vorsong was the father of Sigmund, who in turn was the father of Sigurd, the slayer of Fafnir.
