Character List - Disclaimer: All characters, storyline etc of Suikoden belong to Konami - Writers Writing - http://maxpages.com/fanficsnstuff/Character

1. Hero
You start out with him in the beginning of the game.

*2. Abizboah
How to Recruit: Keep a Listening Crystal until you get to the
Tinto Caverns. In the cavern there’s a really large lake.
Find the place that triggers the Crystal, and use it. Abizboah will
join you. You have to get Feather, so just live with him instead of
Sigfried.

3. Adlai
How to Recruit: After you have Shu in your party, head down to
South Window. Adlai’s house is in the Northeast part of town, near the
Mayor’s house. Go inside, and he’ll ask you to run errands for you.
First, get him a Sacrificial Jizo. You can buy one, or just steal one
off one of your guys. Bolgan should have one. He’ll want a Wooden
Shield next. Buy one at the South Window armor shop. Then he wants a
Wind Crystal. Get it at the Runemaster’s also in South Window. He’ll
continue this ad infinitum. As soon as the option comes up, lob your
item at Adlai instead of giving it to him, and it’ll end the chain.
He’ll join.

4. Alberto
How to Recruit: Get Annallee and Pico first. (See those two
below). Then, head back to Tinto. You’ll have to do this fully after
the Neclord plot thread. Alberto is working in the Armor shop. You’ve
probably seen him before now. If Pico and Annallee are with you, you
can recruit him.

5. Alex
How to Recruit: After occupying your castle, go to the Inn in
South Window, and on the second floor, Alex and Hilda will be there.
Talk to them, and tell them the truth about who you are. Both of them
will join you.

6. Amada
How to Recruit: When trying to recruit Shu in Radat, you’ll have
to duel him to close the flood gate. After that scenario, when you’re
trying to line up a boat, you’ll have to go back to him again, and duel
him again. He’ll then join you.

7. Anita
How to Recruit: While it is possible to recruit Anita from the
Bar in Muse-She’ll be sitting there, not doing much-it’s much better,
and less of a hassle, to wait until Banner Village, where she’ll be at
the Inn. Flatter her, and do her as many favors as she asks, until the
option for her to join pops up, and then ask. You can just talk to her
with Valeria in your party, too, if you’re lazy, though I've never done
this.

8. Annallee
How to Recruit: After beating Luca (No hurry, you can pretty
much get her any time after that), go back to South Window, and visit
the Inn. In a scene that’s surprisingly emotional for an optional
character, she’ll be thrown out of the Inn for not having money.
Before she goes, she’ll offer a song instead, but the Innkeeper will
still throw her out. ;_; After that, go to the grassy knoll to the
right of the Mayor’s house. She’s out of view on the main path, but
run in there, and you’ll see her. If you talk to her, and abstain from
being a jerk, she’ll join.

9. Apple
How to Recruit: Apple will meet up with you in Toto, after it
burns down. Escort her back to the Mercenary Fort, and she’ll vaguely
join up sometime after that. Damned ambiguity.

10. Ayda
How to Recruit: After getting the Listening Crystals from
Badeaux, go to the Forest Village. You’ll see a scene of her guarding
an injured Griffin, and after fighting a few other Griffins, she’ll
wonder what you’re doing, and if you choose to use a crystal for the
Griffin-Feather-She’ll join.

11. Badeaux
How to Recruit: Once you are able to access the Greenhill-
Matilda Forest Path, take Shiro (the wolf) there, and talk to him.
He’s very easy to find. He’ll join, and he’ll give you two listening
crystals to recruit the L-Sized Monsters.

12. Barbara
How to Recruit: You’ll see her when you’re being held prisoner
in the Mercenary Fort. She’ll disappear, but then reappear and join
automatically when your castle is established.

13. Bob
How to Recruit: He’s walking around the Kobold District of Two
Rivers City. You’ll probably see him quite a few times before you can
get him. Once you have 80+ recruits, he’ll join.

14. Bolgan
How to Recruit: He’ll join you along with his sisters in Ryube
until you end up in Kyaro, when all three of them will leave. He’ll
then join again automatically as you progress the story in Coronet
before going over to Kuskus.

15. Camus
How to Recruit: As part of the story, he’ll join you in Rockaxe
with Miklotov after they abandon Gorudo.

16. Chaco
How to Recruit: After he pretty much ruins your time in Two
Rivers, he’ll finally decide to join up with you when you’re finally
leaving.

17. Clive
How to Recruit: In an alley on the west side of Muse before the
occupation, you will encounter Elza, a woman in a white cloak, who asks
you hold some packages. Accept her offer. Continue North, and Clive
will ask you if you’ve seen her. It doesn’t matter what you say. When
you go to exit Muse, Elza will meet you again, and reward you with a
Sound Set for helping her. Afterward, she will get you in the middle
of a gun fight with herself and Clive, and then run off. Later, you
will meet him again in South Window, but talking to him is useless
until you’ve procured yourself a boat, after recruiting Shu. Talk to
him once you have a boat, and he’ll join.

18. Connell
How to Recruit: Connell is hanging around in the Forest Village.
After fleeing Greenhill, go and visit him, with a sound set in your
inventory. He’ll ogle it, and then you can ask him to join.

19. Eilie
How to Recruit: See Bolgan above. She joins at the same times,
and in the same circumstances.

20. Emilia
How to Recruit: When you’re infiltrating Greenhill for the first
time, Emilia is the receptionist in the academy proper. After she
gives you the tour, talk to her again, and tell her the truth about
your mission. You did this correctly if she says “Don’t worry, I’m on
your side!” or the like if you talk to her subsequently. Continue on
with the Greenhill mission after that. It never shows her joining,
which is sufficient freakout material for most of us, but she does
actually join, so long as you confide in her.

21. Feather
How to Recruit: See Ayda above. Feather will join at the same
time if you use a Listening Crystal while there. Note that taking
Feather along is required to get Ayda, so just do it, and choose
between Abizboah and Sigfried.

22. Fitcher
How to Recruit: He’ll join your party automatically after Two
Rivers, when Makai tells him to go with you.

23. Flik
How to Recruit: You’ll meet him after jumping off the cliff
with Jowy when escaping Rowd and Luca at the beginning of the game.
He’ll join you periodically on and off before he automatically becomes
a permanent character.

24. Freed Y (Freedy)
How to Recruit: He’ll force himself onto you in South Window.
Don’t worry, you couldn’t avoid him if you tried.

25. Futch
How to Recruit: In the Highway Village, you’ll find Humphrey in
the Inn. Talk to him, and after your conversation, you’ll see a scene
of Futch and a boy named Kent outside talking about dragons. Humphrey
will pay for your lodgings. Kent will hear about a dragon on Mt.
Rakutei to the north. Talk to Humphrey some more, and basically
continue this until you hear that Kent has run away, lost. Humphrey
and Futch will join you to go save Kent up north. Go there, and
finish the quest. After beating the Harpy and finding the Dragon,
Humphrey and Futch will join you for real.

26. Gabocha
How to Recruit: He’s hiding in his house in the Kobold District
of Two Rivers. Bring Gengen to see him, and he’ll happily follow you
out. It doesn’t say “Gabocha joined you!,” but he did.

27. Gadget
How to Recruit: See Meg Below. He’ll be forced to come along,
against his dignity.

28. Gantetsu
How to Recruit: You’ll see him standing in South Window as soon
as you get there the first time, and he’ll declare himself a great
priest, but shows no signs of joining. Much later, after you beat
Neclord, take a party with a good strength total to go and see him,
and beat him in his contest. He’ll join.

29. Gengen
How to Recruit: He’ll join at the mercenary fort to help you go
get the flour. Such difficult reconnaissance requires immense
supervision, apparently. He’ll end up joining automatically later as
your army progresses.

30. Genshu
How to Recruit: After retaking Greenhill from Yuber’s forces,
you can get the Silver Hammer from one of the apprentices in the
Blacksmith’s School. Give it to Tessai, and sharpen someone’s weapon
up to level 15. Once your castle is at 100+-ish recruits, you can
ride your boat back to Kuskus. Chances are, it’ll still be blocked
off by soldiers, but Genshu will be standing in a very obvious way
really close to where you get off the boat. If you have enough
recruits and a sharp enough weapon, he’ll join.

31. Georg
How to Recruit: After you’ve defeated Neclord, Georg will be
standing in the Drakehill-Tigermouth Mountain Pass, on a small alcove
off to the side of the main path. Depending on whether or not you
tried to abandon the war with Nanami, you may have met him-he’ll
rescue/encourage you if you do decide to abandon the war. Find and
talk to him, and he’ll join you if you promise to see the war through
to its end. Agreeing would be good.

32. Gijimu
How to Recruit: During the Tinto/Neclord scenario, you’ll run
into him on the Mountain Pass, when you’re there with Koyu. He’ll
play a part in the story for a while. Then, after you’ve killed
Neclord, he’ll join up with you.

33. Gilbert
How to Recruit: In your first strategy battle that doesn’t
involve the Mercenary Fort (Battle #3, where you’re defending Muse),
Gilbert will be in the enemy troops, slightly separated from them.
You’ll have to damage and not kill him to get him to join. I’m
actually not sure of the exact mechanism to get him to join, but be
sure to save before this battle, just in case something happens.

34. Gordon
How to Recruit: Gordon gets my vote for what has to be the most
annoying character to recruit. You’ve doubtlessly seen the trading
posts in towns around the world, and, as you probably have good sense,
you’ve ignored them. Anyway, Gordon is the trademaster of Gregminster
-visit him in the shop in the Southwest of town, and he’ll tell you
that you have to make 50,000 potch by trading alone before he’ll join.
Jerk. Anyway, you’re on your own with that. Just buy low and sell
high. Try to find Ancient Texts in Kobold Village, and sell them at
the Forest Village. You’ll need luck and annoying persistence to keep
this from turning into a Catherine’s Wheel of a quest. I’ve always
been impaled on this particular wheel, every time through.

35. Hai Yo
How to Recruit: After the Two Rivers Scenario, go back to your
castle, and go into the door on the Right. Explore the area around
there until you find Hai Yo talking to one of your generic cronies.
He’ll ask to join. Let him.

36. Hanna
How to Recruit: After Toto has been burned down, Hanna will be
moping around there. Just talk to her and ask her to join.

37. Hans
How to Recruit: You’ll hear people talking about an arms
merchant in Two Rivers, who’s trying to get a license to run a shop.
Go visit Hans on the second floor of the Two Rivers Inn. You can ask
for any amount of money from him, but it’ll take longer for him to
scrounge it up, and really isn’t worth it in the long run. It’s up
to you, though. Any choice will result in his joining.

38. Hauser
How to Recruit: He’ll join you automatically after the Neclord
scenario.

39. Hilda
How to Recruit: See Alex above. You really think they wouldn’t
join together?

40. Hix
How to Recruit: Okay, this is a fairly long one. After the Two
Rivers Scenario, you should find Hix and Tengaar bickering at the
Lakewest Inn. Well, Tengaar is sort of whipping Hix into shape, but
whatever. Then, go to Kobold Village, and visit the Elder’s house.
Hix and Tengaar will be there, arguing over taking the “Unicorn’s
Test.” Anyway, talk to them and stay the night, and the next morning,
Tengaar will be … “sick,” … and only going on a Fetch Quest will “cure”
her. You have to get three items to cure her. First is the Blue Stone
- you can get it from the item store in South Window. Next is the Red
Flower - It’s right at the entrance to the Cave of Wind. Finally,
you’ll have to get the Green Bell - Go fairly deep into the Two Rivers
Sewer, on the same path you went earlier to get to the boss.
Eventually, you’ll find the Bell. You can tell if you’re doing this
right, since a Kobold will scurry away near each of the items. After
you have the Green Bell (Just as commentary, Tengaar is one of the
funniest moments in the game here. I recommend responding with the
truth.) and visit the Elder again, he’ll tell you to go into the
Unicorn Woods to find Tengaar. Work your way through the Unicorn
Forest, gathering the treasure, and fending off the enemies (they’re
easy), and eventually, you’ll see Tengaar and the Elder (fast one, he
is) at a tree. They tell you that it was all just a fake test
(Really?), and that Tengaar was masterfully fooling you. Just then,
the real Unicorn appears to the surprise of all, and Hix stands up to
it, and they pass the “test.” Hix and Tengaar then join you.

41. Hoi
How to Recruit: After killing Luca Blight, go to Radat, and
visit the Bar. He should be telling no end of stories, and generally
just pretending to be a rather disheveled version of you. Protect him,
and after you get thrown out of the bar, he’ll tag along with you.
He’s kind of distressed when you take him back to the castle, but
he’ll stay anyhow.

42. Huan
How to Recruit: He’ll join automatically with a slough of other
characters at the official establishment of your castle.
44. Jeane
How to Recruit: You’ll probably run into Jeane teaching Rune
Crap at Greenhill while you’re there for the first time. She’ll say
“Tee Hee” at you. That doesn’t really befit the teacher of Runedom
at the most prestigious academy in the City-State, I would imagine.
Anyhow, after Greenhill, go to the Rune Shop in Two Rivers, and bug
her to join you and she will.

45. Jess
How to Recruit: He sees you supposedly kill Annabelle very
early on, in Muse. Way later, in Tinto, he massively distrusts you,
and despite my screaming at the game to keep it from happening, he
joins automatically after you finish off Neclord.

46. Jude
How to Recruit: After you liberate Greenhill, go back into the
academy, into the Blacksmith classroom. Jude should be in there,
complaining about not having any clay. You may remember some kid in
the Forest Village bragging about his stupid little stash of clay.
Well, go find this kid after you talk to Jude, and he’ll give you
clay. Visit Jude with the clay, and he’ll join up.

47. Kahn
How to Recruit: In the Cave of Wind, right before you reach
the Star Dragon Sword, he will offer to join you to hunt Neclord.
After defeating Neclord’s Abomination in North Window, Kahn will
leave. Later, after Tinto is overrun, and you wake up in Crom, he’ll
join you on the way out, once again to hunt Neclord. He’ll join
normally after Neclord dies.

48. Karen
How to Recruit: After killing Luca, go back to the Inn at
Kuskus. There will be a puritanically-dressed woman that wasn’t there
before. Talk to her, and offer to dance with her. At this point,
she’ll strip down to something less puritanical, and you’ll have to
play her little mini-game to have her join. It’s easy.

49. Kasumi
How to Recruit: When you visit Gregminster as part of the plot,
Lepant will let you take either Valeria or Kasumi along as Commander-
in-Arms of the Gregminster troops. It should be implicit that, should
you want Kasumi, you choose her.

50. Kiba
How to Recruit: In the battle immediately following the
poisoning of King Agares, you’ll be facing Kiba. Once you win this
battle, you’ll take Kiba and his son Klaus prisoner. You can have
both of them join-be SURE to do so.

51. Killey
How to Recruit: After the battle with Luca, he should be around
the trading post/Inn area in South Window. It may be later-I’m not
exactly sure, but he’s hard to miss-he’s the guy in flaming bright
red. Mention Alex’s fascination with the Sindar to him, and he’ll run
off to your castle. Go up to your item shop, and he’ll be accosting
Alex, and then he’ll run back to South Window yet again. Keep begging
him, and he’ll join.

52. Kinnison
How to Recruit: Durring Millie’s Subquest (see Millie below),
take the first branch to the left in the forest (away from Bonaparte).
You’ll see a bird lying, fallen from its tree. Put it back, and then
go up along the path, gathering treasures until you get to Tsai’s
house. He won’t be there, so go back. Kinnison and Shiro will
confront you on the way out. Be honest, and they’ll join up.

53. Klaus
How to Recruit: See Kiba above. They both get captured and
recruited together.

54. Koyu
How to Recruit: After Jowy betrays your group at Muse (The
scene where Culgan tags along with you briefly), and you retreat back
to your castle, Koyu will be scrounging around outside the front of
your castle, and will join you to progress the story.

55. L.C. Chan
How to Recruit: With Wakaba in your active party, go to Crom
Village (you can do this as soon as Crom becomes available). Find
and chase him, and Wakaba will coax him into joining you.

56. Lebrante
How to Recruit: Visit him in the Radat Appraisal shop, and he’ll
offer to join if you have 60+ members, but only if you get him a
Celadon Urn. You can get one from the flying squirrels outside of
Radat, or, if you wait, you can probably just buy one from the Trade
Post in Gregminster. I advise the latter, as he’s really not worth
the trouble.

57. Leona
How to Recruit: Don’t worry, she’ll tag along with you, and
find a bar to work behind no matter where you go.

58. Lo Wen
How to Recruit: She’ll have been taken captive by Neclord as
part of that particular plot thread. After killing him, she’ll join
along with Gijimu.

59. Lorelai
How to Recruit: Much like Suikoden 1, get 60+ characters in
your army, and then go and bug her to join. It may actually take a
few more than 60, I don’t know the exact number, but regardless, it
should be right before you fight Luca. She should be wandering around
the northwest side of Gregminster, so you’ll want to make sure you have
the characters before you take the long trek to get her.

60. Luc
How to Recruit: Don’t worry, Leknaat will bring him to join you,
no matter how much you’d rather she not.

61. Marlowe
How to Recruit: He’ll join you automatically after you beat
Neclord, whether you want it or not.

62. Max
How to Recruit: Max is kind of an enigma as to how to recruit,
exactly. After you defeat Luca, wander around South Window, preferably
recruiting somebody. Then, run around the exit area, going out of the
gate, back in, wander around, et cetera. Eventually, he’ll run up to
you and ask to join. Let him. If anybody knows the exact time and
method to recruit him, send me a message. My scattershot way isn’t
particularly efficient.

63. Mazus
How to Recruit: As you’re traveling through the Tinto Caverns
to bust into Tinto the first time, you’ll doubtlessly at least catch a
glimpse of Mazus, standing around. Weave your way around the ice
slides, and you’ll eventually reach Mazus. Talk to him, and he’ll
refuse to join yo
