Windy is a powerful magician and the last known owner of the front half of the [[Gate Rune]]. Windy gained the rune during an attack by the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]] on the [[Clan of the Gate]]. Windy and her clan sister, [[Leknaat]], divided the rune, each taking half and escaping using the Gate Rune's powers<ref>"Windy and I managed to escape, using the power of the Rune of the Gate." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)||Suikoden]])</ref>.

looking for vengeance against the entire world." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, and to that end, began to seek a second [[27 True Runes|True Rune]]<ref>"If my sister obtains two True Runes and uses them for revenge, it will be catastrophic for the world." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)| Suikoden]])</ref>, devising a method that would allow her to equip more than one True Rune, a previously unknown feat. At first, Windy went after Leknaat's half of the Gate Rune<ref>"To increase her power, Windy tried to take the "back" Rune of the Gate from me." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but after this was unsuccessful, she soon set her sights on a new target, the [[Rune of Life and Death]]<ref>"The Gate Rune is terribly powerful, but she wants something greater. That is why she is after you." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. To that end, Windy, along with her subordinates, [[Yuber]] and [[Neclord]], hunted the Rune of Life and Death throughout the world, destroying [[Lycanthrope Village]] and the [[Village of the Hidden Rune]]<ref>"Give me the rune, or else this village will be charred beyond recognition." - Windy ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> in the process.
 
During this encounter, Windy and her clan sister, [[Leknaat]], divided the rune, with each taking a portion and subsequently employing the Gate Rune's powers to escape. Windy assumed ownership of the "front" Gate Rune, granting her the capability to summon monsters into the world.
 
In the aftermath of the aforementioned attack, Windy's heart sank into despair, fueling her fervent desire for vengeance against Harmonia, High Priest [[Hikusaak]], and the entire world. This thirst for retribution compelled her to pursue another [[27 True Runes|True Rune]] relentlessly. Initially targeting Leknaat's half of the Gate Rune, her endeavors proved fruitless.
 
Subsequently, Windy fixated on a new objective, the [[Rune of Life and Death]], developing an unnatural obsession with it. Her relentless quest for the True Rune resulted in the repeated recurrences of the tragic event that had been inflicted upon her by Harmonia in the past.
 
[[File:Windy at the Emperor's Side.png|220px||thumb|By 455, Windy was serving as Emperor [[Barbarosa Rugner|Barbarosa]]'s Court Magician ''(PS1)''|left]]
Windy's pursuit of the Soul Eater spanned over three centuries, reaching the year [[Solar calendar|SY]] 449. At this point, she had ascended to the esteemed position of Court Magician within the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. Leveraging her physical resemblance to the late Empress [[Claudia]], Windy garnered ever-increasing power and influence within the Empire, particularly over Emperor [[Barbarosa Rugner|Barbarosa]], who was drawn to her anguish.
 
Manipulating the Empire through her magical prowess, she granted [[Conqueror Rune]]s to the [[Great General]]s and to Barbarosa, effectively maintaining control over them. During this period, she succeeded in locating [[Ted]] and sought to claim the Soul Eater from him. However, Ted managed to evade her, transferring the rune to its [[Hero (Suikoden)|successor]].
 
Following Barbarosa's defeat in the climax of the [[Gate Rune War]], Windy confronted him once again in a bid to gain control of the Soul Eater from McDohl. To her dismay, the Rune rejected her, causing great anguish. Barbarosa, revealing both his earnest love for Windy, unclouded by meories of Claudia, and his autonomy, unyielding to her Conqueror Rune's influence due to his [[Sovereign Rune]]'s protection, embraced her and leaped from the [[Floating Garden]].


Windy's hunt for the Soul Eater lasted for over 300 years. In this time, Windy became the Court Magician of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. The Emperor, [[Barbarosa Rugner]], fell in love with Windy<ref>"I wanted to erase the sadness that lies hidden deep in your eyes. The sadness of one who cannot accept others. I loved you." - Barbarosa Rugner ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and Windy, using this love to her advantage, used her magic to manipulate the empire, giving [[Conqueror Rune|Conqueror Runes]] to the [[Great General|Five Great Generals]] and Barbarosa to keep them within her control. At this time, she also finally tracked down [[Ted]] and quickly attempted to get the Soul Eater from him<ref>"Now give me that rune you have in your right hand." - Windy ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. This proved unsuccessful, as Ted managed to escape and pass the rune to his friend, [[Tir McDohl]].
Windy's fate remains shrouded in mystery, as she was never located following this event. Her whereabouts remain unknown.


As the [[Gate Rune War]] began, Windy's Conqueror Runes proved ineffective, as [[Kwanda Rosman]] and [[Milich Oppenheimer]], the only Great Generals to use them, both broke free of the rune's control as their runes melted and returned to normal. Though Windy never led a battle, she did aid the Scarlet Moon Empire's war efforts by putting the [[Dragon Knights|Dragon Knight]]'s [[Dragon|Dragons]] to sleep<ref>"Dragons? It must be Windy again." - Barbarosa Rugner ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and summoning monsters to bolster [[Gregminster]]'s defences<ref>"Most of the 100,000 must be monsters that my sister Windy conjured up." - Leknaat ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. She also made attempts to gain the Soul Eater, using a Conqueror Rune on Ted<ref>"My body has been taken over by Windy's Conqueror Rune, and is no longer mine." - Ted ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> to make him convince Tir McDohl to give up the Rune of Life and Death. This backfired as Ted used his proximity to the Rune of Life and Death to order it to take his soul. Windy's attempt to defend Gregminster with monsters also failed, as Leknaat and [[Joshua Levenheit]] used their True Runes to send the monsters back to their own realm.

Windy made no further attempts to guard the empire. Following Barbarosa's defeat, Windy appeared before him and Tir McDohl's party and once more attempted to gain control of the Soul Eater<ref>"But I'll still take your Soul Eater! Give it to me!" - Windy ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. However, the Rune rejected her, shocking Windy greatly<ref>"Even you reject me, Soul Eater!

Windy became even more upset as Barbarosa revealed he loved her<ref>"I loved you." - Barbarosa Rugner ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and that he was not under her control, as his [[Sovereign Rune]] protected him from any form of magic<ref>"It's no use, Windy. The rune on my Dragon King Sword, the Sovereign Rune, is protected against any form of magic. Even the Rune of the Gate." - Barbarosa Rugner ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Taking her in his arms and bidding Tir and his companions farewell, Barbarosa jumped from the [[Floating Garden]] with Windy in his arms. The two vanished, never to be seen again, although Windy's body and her half of the Gate Rune have never been found.

History

I am your ideal host. Together, let us take revenge on this cursed world.

—  Windy

Windy was a formidable magician and member of the Clan of the Gate. She was also the bearer of the front half of the Gate Rune, acquired during an assault by the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia on the clan.

During this encounter, Windy and her clan sister, Leknaat, divided the rune, with each taking a portion and subsequently employing the Gate Rune's powers to escape. Windy assumed ownership of the "front" Gate Rune, granting her the capability to summon monsters into the world.

In the aftermath of the aforementioned attack, Windy's heart sank into despair, fueling her fervent desire for vengeance against Harmonia, High Priest Hikusaak, and the entire world. This thirst for retribution compelled her to pursue another True Rune relentlessly. Initially targeting Leknaat's half of the Gate Rune, her endeavors proved fruitless.

Subsequently, Windy fixated on a new objective, the Rune of Life and Death, developing an unnatural obsession with it. Her relentless quest for the True Rune resulted in the repeated recurrences of the tragic event that had been inflicted upon her by Harmonia in the past.

By 455, Windy was serving as Emperor Barbarosa's Court Magician (PS1)

Windy's pursuit of the Soul Eater spanned over three centuries, reaching the year SY 449. At this point, she had ascended to the esteemed position of Court Magician within the Scarlet Moon Empire. Leveraging her physical resemblance to the late Empress Claudia, Windy garnered ever-increasing power and influence within the Empire, particularly over Emperor Barbarosa, who was drawn to her anguish.

Manipulating the Empire through her magical prowess, she granted Conqueror Runes to the Great Generals and to Barbarosa, effectively maintaining control over them. During this period, she succeeded in locating Ted and sought to claim the Soul Eater from him. However, Ted managed to evade her, transferring the rune to its successor.

Following Barbarosa's defeat in the climax of the Gate Rune War, Windy confronted him once again in a bid to gain control of the Soul Eater from McDohl. To her dismay, the Rune rejected her, causing great anguish. Barbarosa, revealing both his earnest love for Windy, unclouded by meories of Claudia, and his autonomy, unyielding to her Conqueror Rune's influence due to his Sovereign Rune's protection, embraced her and leaped from the Floating Garden.

Windy's fate remains shrouded in mystery, as she was never located following this event. Her whereabouts remain unknown.
