Biography

Suikoden

I guess you've done your job. You're apparently not totally useless. —  Kraze Miles

Snide and scornful, Kraze Miles was the Commander of the Imperial Guard during the Gate Rune War and a symbol of the corrupt spirit of the Scarlet Moon Empire. Though considered a coward, Kraze had advanced his career through his connections and subsequently became very unpopular to his disdainful attitude towards his subordinates.

The son of Teo McDohl was once his subordinate but once he managed to escape Gregminster with the Soul Eater, he fell out of favour with Windy and was demoted. Kraze was reassigned to the town of Kouan, where he frequently butted heads with Lepant. During this time, Kraze abducted Eileen, Lepant's wife. After her rescue by Lepant and the nascent Toran Liberation Army, Kraze Miles was executed, the leader of the Liberation Army saying that Kraze was the one person he could not forgive.

Trivia

• Kraze is the only character in Suikoden that can be executed without imposing any long-term penalties on game completion. If you do not execute him, he will run off, never to be seen again, and Gremio will chide you for it, although Cleo will praise you for having a big heart.
• For some reason, Konami is quite unambiguous about Kraze's fate considering it's optional; practically all reference material and novelisations state that he was executed.
