Biography
Suikoden II
|
Rowd was the Captain of the Unicorn Brigade. Rowd thought that this position was unlucky, and felt that he had been assigned to do little more than babysit children[1]. Rowd desired a position with a larger salary in order to aid his blind sister, who he wanted to take to a famous doctor in the Toran Republic[2].
Luca Blight, the Prince of the Highland Kingdom, persuaded Rowd to slaughter the Unicorn Brigade and blaming the slaughter of the children on the City-State of Jowston[3] in exchange for a higher rank and salary[4]. Rowd performed his part during the Unicorn Brigade Massacre, encouraging his young charges to run to the east where they would be slaughtered by the Highland army.
However, Rowd's plans did not go smoothly. Despite becoming well-respected in Highland following the attack[5], two young men escaped the massacre: Riou and Jowy Atreides. Rowd had them captured when they returned to Kyaro, and was planning on executing them, but they were saved by Viktor and Flik.
Rowd was sent to the siege of Muse encountered the Riou and Jowy again. Recognizing the two, Rowd chased after the two and successfully captured Jowy. Later in the war, Rowd was sent to Greenhill with Jowy, who had now become the Commander of the Highland expedition to Greenhill.
Rowd finally got the promotion he sought as he joined Kiba Windameir and Klaus Windameir during the campaign of South Window, taking the reigns of the 4th Company of the Royal Highland Army[6]. However, he tended to be conservative with his troop movements, not wanting to do anything that might upset his career[7].
Following the death of Luca Blight, Rowd abandoned his post and left the Highland Army, taking his sister with him[8].
