Humphrey and Futch headed towards [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonia]] in order to research wild dragons but were slowed down by the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Staying in [[Highway Village]], Humphrey encountered [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]]. | |||
When [[Kent]], a friend of Futch, disappeared at [[Mt. Rakutei]], Humphrey mounted a rescue party. Journeying with Futch and the hero to the mountains, the party saved Kent and found a dragon's egg which hatched into a baby dragon. Humphrey would be able to break through Futch's hesitation and fear of bonding with a new dragon by acting coldly. Moving to strike down the dragon so it would not grow into a feral, wild adult, Humphrey would encourage Futch's intercession. Their journey's purpose unexpectedly fulfilled, Humphrey and Futch agreed to join the New State Army in order to repay the hero's help. | |||
Humphrey | After bringing his formidable sword-arm to bear during the Dunan Unification War, Humphrey continued on a journey towards [[Crystal Valley]] with Futch in order to research more information about [[Bright]], the mysterious baby dragon they had found. | ||
During the journey, they would stop at [[Marid Village]] in Harmonia, encountering a ferocious black dragon. Humphrey would face the dragon alongside Futch and [[Nash Latkje]]. Fighting without fear, he would play a vital role in protecting the village and afterwards would continue his journey with Futch. | |||
His whereabouts thereafter are unknown. But it is believed that he eventually passed his sword on to [[Futch]] as the Dragon Knight was seen wielding it during the [[War of the Champions]]. | |||
