Major characters
Hugo
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tensyo
|
Age:
|
15
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
A happy-go-lucky lad of the Karaya Clan. He has really horrifying taste in friends, but we can forgive that due to his hilariously flamboyant clothing, his cool griffon and his hot mom. He's always out on quests and expeditions--hmm, I wonder if his sense of adventure will be fulfilled at some later point. Nah, couldn't be.
Sergeant Joe
|
Nickname(s):
|
Sarge, Duckman
|
Star:
|
Tenko
|
Age:
|
29
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
The one source of military power of the Duck Clan and Hugo's right-hand...er...duck. As if his appearance weren't enough of a reminder, he constantly says "Quack" just to make sure we're aware that HE'S A GODDAMN DUCK. He exists to keep his young'un charges in their places. Like they'd listen to a guy that keeps quacking.
Fubar
|
Nickname(s):
|
Fubie
|
Star:
|
Tenku
|
Age:
|
15
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Hugo's loyal griffin. His name apparently stands for "fucked up beyond all repair," which pisses off fanboys for no apparent reason. I just think it makes him cooler. Fubar's also easily the strongest member of Hugo's main party, which means I'll often be deprived of his services when I need him most. I hate you, game designers.
Chris Lightfellow
|
Nickname(s):
|
Chris the Ice Queen
|
Star:
|
Tenbi
|
Age:
|
22
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
The Captain of the Knights of Zexen, also known as the "Silver Maiden." Or the "White Maiden." Or something. All the people and her fellow knights love her to pieces and revere her as a hero, for no apparent reason. She's kind of an icy bitch, and I suppose I would be too, if I had several hot knights pining for me. Or not.
Louis Keeferson
|
Nickname(s):
|
Boy
|
Star:
|
Chisyu
|
Age:
|
15
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Louis is Chris' servant boy. Apparently he's a knight's apprentice, and in training to be a knight because of his famous knight father (whoever that is), but I was under the impression that knights-in-training got to train in FIGHTING, not making tea. Poor kid.
Salome Harras
|
Nickname(s):
|
Tootie
|
Star:
|
Tenki
|
Age:
|
32
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Another of the Six Knights, Salome acts as the Zexen Knights' strategist. Meaning he gets to do a lot of talking in "important scenes" and is essentially worthless in battle. Not that I'd expect a guy with that mushroom cut to be a good fighter.
Geddoe
|
Nickname(s):
|
Geddy
|
Star:
|
Tenjyu
|
Age:
|
?
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
He's the strong-and-silent badass type, and no one knows very much about him, except he's a mercenary and that he probably needs to shower more often. He may or may not have a hideous scar under his eyepatch.
Aila
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Teni
|
Age:
|
16
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
A Karayan girl about Hugo's age who's very much into the "bloodthirsty" aspect of being in the Karaya Clan. She's constantly seen checking out new weapons and babbling about "Karayan warrior honor" and the like. She's an honorable warrior, even though she's female! Get it?!
Jimba
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tenfu
|
Age:
|
?
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Luce's other "son," despite the fact that he looks way too old to be any offspring of hers and he looks nothing like her or Lulu. Jimba has a mysterious past and has something to do with the Lightfellow family. Try to look surprised when you find out what it is.
Roland Lesaurus
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chiin
|
Age:
|
26
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
One of the Six Knights of Zexen and the game's resident snotty elf asshole. He's quite possibly the only member of Chris' posse who isn't hot for her. I don't think that's any fault of Chris', if you follow me.
Leo Gallen
|
Nickname(s):
|
Bubba
|
Star:
|
Chisyu
|
Age:
|
37
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 3
|
Another of Chris' famous Six Knights of Zexen. Leo is the muscle of the group, which is conveyed by his giant axe, his gruff attitude, and his utter lack of prettiness. But he's really a big softie on the inside, like all ugly, mean people. Or something. Also, he has a thing for Chris. I know, so shocking, isn't it?
Percival Fraulein
|
Nickname(s):
|
Percy
|
Star:
|
Chiki
|
Age:
|
26
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 3
|
Yet another of the Six Knights of Zexen. Percy is the prettyboy in a group chock full of prettyboys, and he knows it. Despite his looks, he's also the down-to-earth knight, from a humble farming village background. And--you guessed it--he's in love with Chris. Poor bastard's got a lot of competition.
Borus Redrum
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chimou
|
Age:
|
25
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 3
|
One more famous Knight of Zexen, this one is the real Swordsman of Wank/Rage. Borus has a hot temper and a lot of pent-up anger, which he shows by repeatedly punching walls. It's possible that most of his pent-up anger stems from getting rejected by Chris.
Ace
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tenhei
|
Age:
|
35
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
The financial guru of the 12th Unit, Ace spends most of his time bitching at his colleagues because of their booze expenditures. But he himself spends money on women. He likes chicks. A lot. CHICKS CHICKS CHICKS CHICKS CHICKS. CHICKS!!!
Queen
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tenson
|
Age:
|
31
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
The one female member of Geddoe's 12th Unit. She keeps up the collective cool cred of the women of Suikoden III by being intelligent, competent and fierce in battle. Then again, she's very threatened by chicks with bigger boobs than her. She should get over that.
Joker
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chitai
|
Age:
|
46
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
Joker is the mage of the 12th Unit, at least until Geddoe shows off his spoilery runic powers. He's also the "old man" of the group, and I'd say he's actually old for a change, but I think my mom would kill me for calling 46 "old."
Jacques
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chisin
|
Age:
|
22
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
Guess what, it's one more member of the 12th Unit. Jacques is a mysterious fellow, partly because he's always disappearing and doesn't talk much, partly because he actually likes Aila, and partly because he manages to stash a crossbow bigger than his whole body in his anal cavity. Ow.
Sarah
|
Nickname(s):
|
Whitney
|
Star:
|
Chizen
|
Age:
|
19
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
It's a good thing all the other chicks in this game are cool and interesting, because Sarah alone tips the scales back the other way. She's beautiful, mysterious, soopah-powerful, and above all, a spineless wimp. And a servant girl for three men. Do I have to say it? Okay: MARY SUE!!!
Cecile

Stars of Destiny
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Teni
|
Age:
|
37
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
In the 15 years since Suikoden II, Lucia has taken over leadership of the Karaya Clan and had a son. Oh yeah, and she's no longer a psycho. She enjoys giving Hugo lots of hugs in public and embarrassing him as much as possible. Mothers.
Anne
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chisou
|
Age:
|
27
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
An extremely vapid-looking Karayan woman who wants to open her own inn and bar. Gee, maybe Hugo can help her find a place to start her business! Wouldn't that be an amazing coincidence?
Beecham
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chiziku
|
Age:
|
42
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Some of you may remember Lucia's passing reference to someone named "Beechum" in Suikoden II. Well, he apparently changed the spelling of his name since we heard of him last. And if you were expecting him to be important, don't be too disappointed, because...he isn't. At all. He's just this guy, you know?
Luce
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chiin
|
Age:
|
46
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Lulu's mom. That fact alone makes me resent her existence. Fortunately, she makes it her business to constantly rag on him and embarrass him, almost--but not quite--making up for her bringing him into the world in the first place. To add insult to injury, she has a mustache.
Fred
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chii
|
Age:
|
23
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
His grandfather Max somehow convinced him to take on his old gig, so now Fred wanders the lands as a Maximillian Knight, smiting evil (not really) and generally being a dickhead to everyone he meets. How endearing.
Rico
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Chiei
|
Age:
|
14
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Max had Sancho, thus Fred must have Rico. Despite Fred's many glaring personality flaws, Rico worships the ground he walks on. She's probably in love with him on some level. God help her.
Guillaume
|
Nickname(s):
|
Guillaume the Pedophile
|
Star:
|
Chizoku
|
Age:
|
45
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 2
|
Let's not mince words--this guy likes children. I mean, really likes them. Konami simply abandoned all pretense and decided he should chase little girls and try to poke their behinds with a spear. ...Yeah, exactly.
Melville
|
Nickname(s):
|
Bizarro Tidus, Sudit
|
Star:
|
Tenken
|
Age:
|
12
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 2
|
The Swordsman of Rage of the Saint Loa Knights, Melville is the super-serious kid, the one with something to prove. Unfortunately, that something is "my dad rules," and he "proves" it by constantly talking about the guy, so needless to say he's a smidgen irritating.
Alanis
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tenzai
|
Age:
|
12
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 2
|
The Silver Maiden of the Saint Loa Knights. Alanis has always had trouble making friends due to her father's business travel, but she finally found two best friends in Melville and Elliot. I wonder if she's just not aware that she can do better.
Elliot
|
Nickname(s):
|
Ralphie
|
Star:
|
Tenpai
|
Age:
|
12
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 2
|
Elliot is the Swordsman of Wind of the, you guessed it, Saint Loa Knights. His worth to the group is...being able to smell stuff. Wow, how did the Saint Loa Knights ever get along without him?
Dupa
|
Nickname(s):
|
Well Endowed Dupa
|
Star:
|
Tenyu
|
Age:
|
35
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 4
|
Dupa starts out as one of the most respected fighters in the Lizard Clan, but due to tragedy and all that he becomes the new Chief. He's supposed to be fearsome and intimidating, but he wears a pink headdress. Fortunately, he still has a gigantic...tail.
Shiba
|
Nickname(s):
|
none
|
Star:
|
Tenmou
|
Age:
|
27
|
First Appearance:
|
Part 5
|
Another Lizard that's packin' heat between his legs. Shiba shows Geddoe around the Aptly-Named Great Hollow, before fading into obscurity as One of Those Lizards That's Not Dupa. He also wears a white man-dress.

Age:

|
First Appearance:
|
Part 1
|
Another Karaya kid, but this one is a wanker. A big one. And there's no forgiving him, because his mom isn't at all hot. Lulu's purpose is to make everyone else look bad by saying embarrassing stereotypical things in public. Think of Wakka as a little kid, without all the bong action to mellow him out. There you go.
Sana
