Biography
Suikoden
|
Teo McDohl was one of the Five Great Generals of the Scarlet Moon Empire, who had fought under Barbarosa Rugner during the War of Succession[1]. He was assigned to the north, supposedly to protect the border with the City-State of Jowston[2] and was favoured by Barbarosa enough to receive his own sword, Prakk, for the mission[3]. At least some of his activities fell outside of this briefing as the razing of Rokkaku would indicate[4].
In the past, it was Teo who adopted Ted, thinking him a war orphan[5]. Teo was also an old friend of Ain Gide, Commander of the Fortress of Kwaba[6]. Teo did not think highly of Kraze Miles[7], regarding him as a weakling. He also seemed to have some form of relationship with fellow general Sonya Shulen[8].
Tir's ascension to leader of the Toran Liberation Army was considered by some to have sullied Teo's name[9]. Teo himself swore to show no mercy for his son[10]. An initial victory in battle saw the Liberation Army forced to retreat with Teo's advance only staved off after losing a duel against Pahn[11], although whether Teo held back is undetermined[12].
The rematch ended in a total victory of the Liberation Army, thanks to their use of Fire Spear[13]. However, Teo refused to surrender, challenging his son to a duel[14] which was accepted. Teo was defeated in the duel and with his final words admitted he fought for the Emperor out of stubbornness[15] and gave blessing to his son's choice[16]. His final words told Tir how proud he was that his son had surpassed himself[17].
Trivia
- The name "McDohl" is an interesting blend of the Gaelic "Mc-", meaning "Son of" and the German name Döhl (or Dohl as it is here). This brings up the interesting theory that one of Teo's ancestors had a father named Dohl.
