TOP 10

MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN SUIKODEN 1:

1. Tir Mcdohl is a young man who serves as the main protagonist of Suikoden 1. He is a powerful attacker, as well as a fair magic user. He is the son of Teo McDohl and was the leader of the Toran Liberation Army after the death of the original leader, Odessa Silverberg. After the Toran Liberation Army defeated the Scarlet Moon Empire, McDohl left without taking a position of leadership within the newly formed Toran Republic. He has been travelling with his servant, Gremio. He was briefly involved with the Dunan Unification War as well.

 

2. Crowley is said to have more than 100 runes on his body. His magical abilities far surpass anyone else known in the world. His abilities are clearly beyond Mazus, his rival, as well. He never owned a True Rune and doesn't wish to own one because his research is concentrated on achieving True Rune powers without the use of True Runes. It is rumored that he has existed a lot longer than his age suggests.

  

3. Clive was born in the Howling Voice Guild and trained there from birth. Of those children in the Guild being trained at the same time, he was one of only three to survive until the "day of adulthood", which was when he turned fifteen years old. The other two, Elza and Kelley, were his best friends, and all managed to pass the test to become Knight Class Gunners. However, the Guild Elders wished to be rid of the other two, and made Kelley duel with Elza. The duel was rigged, with Kelley's gun, Mond, not firing. The elders wished to frame Elza for tampering with Mond, which she realized and escaped. However, Clive was obligated to hunt her down and kill her. He joined the Toran Liberation Army to try and find Elza, but didn't find her until the Dunan Unification War, where he finally caught up with her at the port town of Radat. They dueled, but he missed, and was injured by her bullet. After recovering, he soon again began to track her down, and caught up with her at the Sajah Village in Highland. This time, he won the duel, killing her, and was subsequently chosen as the new Guild Master. His weapon, Sturm, is a "gun" which is highly accurate and powerful. It is said that Sturm is manifested with an elemental spirit.

  

4. Stallion is one of the few elves who survived the Gate Rune Wars. Stallion was born with a rare rune called the True Holy Rune (Godspeed Rune), which gives him the power to run at incredible speeds -- one hundred meters in seven seconds, to be exact. Using this skill, he was able to rescue Sylvina from Lukiae Ende Towayo when it was destroyed by Kwanda Rosman's Burning Mirror.

5. Pesmerga is a Black Knight in search of the Black Knight Yuber. His age, history and origin is from is all a mystery. He joined the Toran Liberation Army and later the Dunan Unification Army in hopes of finding Yuber. He did find Yuber at Gregminster following the defeat of the Imperial Army outside Gregminster and a duel ensued but it was inconclusive. His name means "he who chases after death" in Kurdish.

 

6. Viki is a magician specializing in teleportation. She is one of the few who possesses the Blinking Rune. No one knows where she has come from, but in her sleep, she has been known to say "Waffu..." which seems to have something to do with where she is from. She is trying to return to her homeland, but has been unsuccessful for a long time. She ended up participating in several major wars, spanning hundreds of years, but did not age between the wars, due to her not only teleporting wrong, but also moving through time by the incredible bad luck she has. 

7. Viktor grew up at the fort of Northwindow. His father died in war when he was serving in the 4th Northwindow Unit and was raised by his mother, Helen and grandmother, Martha. He had a brother called Wil and also lived with Daisy, a war orphan who Viktor's family took in. She was like a sister, but his family wanted him to marry her so that he would settle down. However, this never happened.Their journey brought them to a village being attacked by vampires. They met a young man named Edge, whose sister had been taken away by the vampires. They began to fight the vampires, when Edge told Viktor he wanted to be a great swordsman. In response, Viktor lent him the Star Dragon Sword to use, which he did to lay the final blow on the head vampire, rescuing his sister. However, Viktor didn't ask for the sword back, and he left with Flik to go help fight Harmonia in the High east Rebellion.

8. Morgan is originally from Falena where he was a gladiator. As a slave swordsman, he was so powerful that he always won. Thus, his eyes were removed to equal the odds in the gladiatorial arena. However, even after he became blind, he was equally powerful due to his focus into his inner being. Because of that, Falena sold him to the Island Nations. During the voyage, the ship he was on was destroyed by a storm and Morgan luckily washed up in Toran. He then joined the Qlon Temple where he continues to hone his inner being. He joined with the Toran Liberation Army for a while, but after the war he returned to Qlon Temple for further meditation.

9. Futch was once among the ranks of the Dragon Knights but was banished due to the death of his dragon, Black. After that he travelled with Humphrey, heading towards "The One Temple" in Crystal Valley. He found a baby dragon, Bright, at Mt. Rakutei, and raised it. Futch and Bright helped save a small Harmonian village that was being terrorized by a wild dragon. Eventually, they made their way to the Grasslands with Sharon, where they helped the Fire Bringer fight the Harmonian bishop Luc's forces. With his new dragon, Bright, Futch returned to the Dragon's Den as an assistant to Captain Milia, and is studying for a 3rd degree ranking in the Dragon Knights.

10. Fuma is a ninja unrelated to Rokkaku. No one knows why he was hiding behind the Dragon's Den, but he must have had a good reason to be standing behind that building for all that time. He is obviously useful in espionage, etc. After the war, he joined Rokkaku.
