Cleo (クレオ, Kureo) is a supporting character in Suikoden who makes a cameo in Suikoden II. Cleo is a servant of the McDohl household who followed her charge into the Toran Liberation Army during the Gate Rune War.
Cleo served as a direct subordinate of General Teo McDohl, living in his Gregminster home along with Gremio and Pahn. She and the hero held a close bond having watched him grow from infancy, with Cleo regarding him with real love as something akin to a younger brother. Cleo was a knife throwing expert and there are heroic tales of her felling dozens of mounted cavalry on the battlefield single handedly with her knives.
When on a mission to Magician's Island, Cleo would be met by Leknaat who would tell her than her duty was to protect the hero before gifting her with a Fire Rune. Although puzzled as to why she was addressed specifically, as events would begin to spiral out of control, Cleo would remember these words and continue her efforts in playing out her role. (more...)
