Biography

Suikoden II

This Golden Hammer is very rare. With this, I can raise your weapons to their maximum level.

—  Tessai

Tessai was a blacksmith who by the time of the Dunan Unification War found himself jaded and uninspired, looked for a sword to inspire him[1]. When he noticed that Viktor wielded the Star Dragon Sword, his passion returned and he begged to join the New State Army in order to work on the sword[2].

Following the Dunan Unification War, Tessai's stock as a blacksmith rose considerably. He continued to work at the North Window Castle[3].

Personality and Traits

Tessai had an apprentice in Kuskus, and had remarked on his improving skills[4].

Tessai was highly reverential towards the Star Dragon Sword, treating him with the respect the sword felt he deserved[5]. In fact, his fawning kept the sword from destroying the smithery in Kuskus[6].
