Hoi is a thief from [[Kanakan]]. During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Hoi began to impersonate [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] in order to take advantage of his name. Hoi pulled this trick several times, including in [[South Window City]], [[Two River City]], and [[Radat Town]], using the scheme to bilk on bills without paying.
Hoi, a thief hailing from [[Kanakan]], earned a reputation for engaging in various petty crimes across the region. During the tumultuous period of the [[Dunan Unification War]], he resorted to stealing [[Ayda]]'s horse in the forests near [[Greenhill City]] and attempted to sell it to [[Nash Latkje]]. However, Ayda swiftly uncovered the theft and forced Hoi to retreat with a flurry of arrows.


The real leader of the New State Army, who happened to be in Radat, was spotted by the crowd as they confronted Hoi and was mistaken for another lookalike. Both men would be beaten up by the crowd and Hoi, believing his partner to be another lookalike, offered to join forces, but when the two returned to [[North Window]], Hoi realized his mistake.
In a brazen attempt to exploit the name of [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]], Hoi began impersonating him on multiple occasions. This slanderous scheme played out in [[South Window City]], [[Two River City]], and [[Radat Town]], allowing Hoi to evade payment for various bills.


Hoi remained in the [[New State Army]] for the duration of the war. Following the conflict, Hoi briefly decided to retire from thievery, but soon realized that this was a mistake and quickly returned to his life of petty theft.
During one of his impersonations in Radat Town, the true leader of the New State Army happened to be present, leading to a perplexing case of mistaken identity. Both Hoi and the actual leader were confronted by the crowd and subjected to a beating. Believing his fellow victim to be yet another lookalike, Hoi offered to form an alliance. However, upon returning to [[New State Army Headquarters]], he realized his misjudgment.
 
Though Hoi faced the possibility of imprisonment, he decided to remain with the New State Army throughout the war. Even while staying with the New State Army, he always looked for an opportunity to indulge in petty thievery and could be found skulking suspiciously in various areas of the castle.
 
In battle, he demonstrated a proficiency with tonfa, much like the hero, possibly utilizing their similar naming as part of his impersonation strategy. While not quite as skilled as the hero, Hoi showcased competence with these weapons.
 
Following the war's conclusion, Hoi briefly attempted to retire from a life of thievery, endeavoring to pursue a more honest path. However, he quickly recognized this as a mistake and promptly reverted to his familiar life of petty larceny.

History

That's right!!!!!! I'm the great hero, Lord Riou!!!!!

—  Hoi

Hoi, a thief hailing from Kanakan, earned a reputation for engaging in various petty crimes across the region. During the tumultuous period of the Dunan Unification War, he resorted to stealing Ayda's horse in the forests near Greenhill City and attempted to sell it to Nash Latkje. However, Ayda swiftly uncovered the theft and forced Hoi to retreat with a flurry of arrows.

In a brazen attempt to exploit the name of the leader of the New State Army, Hoi began impersonating him on multiple occasions. This slanderous scheme played out in South Window City, Two River City, and Radat Town, allowing Hoi to evade payment for various bills.

During one of his impersonations in Radat Town, the true leader of the New State Army happened to be present, leading to a perplexing case of mistaken identity. Both Hoi and the actual leader were confronted by the crowd and subjected to a beating. Believing his fellow victim to be yet another lookalike, Hoi offered to form an alliance. However, upon returning to New State Army Headquarters, he realized his misjudgment.

Though Hoi faced the possibility of imprisonment, he decided to remain with the New State Army throughout the war. Even while staying with the New State Army, he always looked for an opportunity to indulge in petty thievery and could be found skulking suspiciously in various areas of the castle.

In battle, he demonstrated a proficiency with tonfa, much like the hero, possibly utilizing their similar naming as part of his impersonation strategy. While not quite as skilled as the hero, Hoi showcased competence with these weapons.

Following the war's conclusion, Hoi briefly attempted to retire from a life of thievery, endeavoring to pursue a more honest path. However, he quickly recognized this as a mistake and promptly reverted to his familiar life of petty larceny.
