Tai Ho | Tai Ho was a fisherman and mariner hailing from the fishing village of [[Kaku]]. He formed a sworn brotherhood with [[Yam Koo]] after the two encountered each other during a gambling brawl, fighting together. | ||
Tai Ho was known for his love of the idle lifestyle and had a penchant for engaging in risky activities, relying on luck to guide him through life. He tended to attach himself to lucky individuals and avoided unlucky ones. He held no particular interest in the ideological differences between the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] and the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. | |||

During the [[Gate Rune War]], Tai Ho | During the [[Gate Rune War]], Tai Ho's reputation as the only fearless fisherman willing to navigate to the [[Toran Lake Castle]] reached the attention of the [[Hero (Suikoden)|hero]] and his party. Upon being found by [[Camille]], they sought Tai Ho's assistance to travel to Toran Castle. | ||
Initially, Tai Ho dismissed the idea as preposterous but agreed to accompany them if the hero would wager all of his money in a game of [[Chinchirorin]], a game Tai Ho was highly skilled at, having played it frequently with [[Gaspar]], whom considered him a favorite client. | |||
When the | When the hero managed to win the game, Tai Ho kept his promise and joined the party at Toran Castle, eager to face any monsters that crossed their path. He proposed naming the castle "Dragon Castle" after the defeat of the [[Zombie Dragon]]. Although Tai Ho continued with the Toran Liberation Army following this, he claimed to do so purely for enjoyment, and his loyalty mainly lay with the hero due to their shared good fortune. | ||

Tai Ho's | Tai Ho's skills as a sailor proved valuable to the Liberation Army, particularly when they needed to travel to the [[Secret Factory]] to obtain the [[Fire Spear]]s. Admiring the [[Speedboat]] recently upgraded by [[Kamandol]] and [[Gen]], Tai Ho brought the hero to [[Kirov]] and travelled with him onwards to the Secret Factory, enlisting the help of his friend [[Kun To]] to secure transport for the Fire Spears. | ||
In combat, Tai Ho displayed proficiency with the trident, demonstrating his capability as a fighter despite his laid-back demeanor. During the [[Gate Rune War]], Tai Ho encountered [[Kimberly]], an artisan from [[Antei]], who took an interest in him, leading to Yam Koo's attempts to prevent them from being alone together due to Tai Ho's weakness for women. | |||
After the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Tai Ho returned to his carefree life in Kaku, where Kimberly eventually joined his household. | |||
===Suikoden II=== | |||
However, during the [[Dunan Unification War]], Tai Ho sought refuge from Kimberly's advances and, with [[Kun To]]'s help, traveled to [[Kuskus Town]] in the [[City-State of Jowston]] with [[Yam Koo]]. The two would be in [[Coronet Town]] when it was occupied by the [[Highland Army]] curtailing their business. | |||
Despite refusing to help his old Liberation Army comrade [[Sheena]] cross [[Lake Dunan]] while Coronet was occupied by the Highland Army, Tai Ho agreed to assist the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|hero]] and his comrades in illicitly crossing the lake after losing a game of [[Chinchirorin]] to the group. | |||
Later in the Dunan Unification War, Tai Ho joined the [[New State Army]] after losing another game of Chinchirorin to the hero, displaying his inclination to align with those he deemed fortunate, much to Yam Koo's consternation. Although, considering that Tai Ho would end up having two consecutive victories in war from joining allies based on his dice games, it would appear that Tai Ho's logic might be something that can be depended upon. | |||
Following the war, Tai Ho would return to Kaku and his life of ribaldry and moral turpitude. | |||
