Biography
=Suikoden II
|
Freed Yamamoto is South Window soldier with strong loyalties to his home principality. Freed served as an assistant to the mayor of South Window, Granmeyer, who he held in high esteem[1]. Freed was introduced to his wife, Yoshino Yamamoto, through Granmeyer[2].
When South Window and Tinto forces occupied the Senan region of the then Scarlet Moon Empire, Freed participated in the attack[3].
During the Dunan Unification War, Freed Y accompanied Riou and Viktor on a mission to discover who had been taking women captive in the North Window area. As Freed attempted to return to South Window to report on their findings, he discovered that South Window had been taken by the Highland Kingdom. When Freed became a member of the New State Army, his ties to South Window proved useful as Shu ordered him to infiltrate the South Window soldiers, recently conscripted by Highland, in order to to spread rumours of their imminent execution and pro-New State Army propaganda. Freed succeeded in his mission, turning the former State forces to the New State side and increasingly the then-small army's recruits.
When the New State Army decided to ask the Toran Republic for military aid during the war, Freed was an outspoken critic of the decision[4]. However, unable to come up with any other options, Freed conceded the argument and led the New State party through Radat to the Toran Republic and even personally pleaded the case for an alliance to President Lepant.
After the Dunan Unification War, Freed was offered a position in the Dunan Republic, but refused, choosing instead to live happily in Radat[5], as he had promised his wife[6].
Personality and Traits
Freed was said to be exceptionally polite[7].
Freed was a devoted disciple of Granmeyer. Upon hearing of Granmeyer's death, Freed was at first disbelieving[8] but eventually vowed to fight for the New State Army in order to avenge Granmeyer, as well as other innocents, lives[9].
Freed was exceptionally close to his wife, Yoshino. Their home was considered by Richmond to be a love nest[10] and was said to be extremely happy when he was around Yoshino[11].
