lol right? That's a terrible plan. "So, where are you from?" "The Village of the Hidden Rune." "Oh... so, what's the story with the Hidden Rune?" "Who said anything about a rune? There's no rune there, who said otherwise?" "....."

Lmao how come I never thought of this!!

WE AGREE! If we are remembering correctly he's legitimately the best or second best Caster in the game! :D And the Soul Eater Rune is Tarrens favorite. And let's face it a team walks up with not one but TWO of the most destructive true runes in existence and you're probably not gonna want to fight it.

Thank you! :)

SPOILERS!!! He didn't GET it during Suikoden 1; he already hAD it in Suikoden 1. Ted got the Soul Eater 300 years before Suikoden 1; the scene you see later in the game, in the Village of the Hidden Rune, was either time-travel caused by the Soul Eater and the Night Rune (Star Dragon Sword / Zodiac Sword) interacting with each other, OR, the Soul Eater was showing you Ted's (and his Grandfather's) memories of that invasion and for some odd reason you could actually interact with them. Other games demonstrate that the second one is more likely the answer, as in Suikoden 4, you also visit memories of previous bearers of your True Rune of Punishment and interact with them (that, and, Ted didn't recognise you from his memories of that event, implying you didn't actually travel to them; although he could've realised and just kept his mouth shut). After the raid on the Village of the Hidden Rune, Ted took the Soul Eater and fled, wandering for a while before he boarded the Fog Ship and handed his Rune to the Captain; eventually coming off the ship due to Lazlo's (Suiko 4 hero) intervention and travelling with him for a while. Suikoden 4 was 150 years after his village was destroyed, and 150 years beFORE Suikoden 1. So, no, he didn't time travel. He just lived a vERY long time :)

Due to the fact that we probably won't be doing much more (unless more requests for specific characters pop up) Probably not. But thank you for the request. :)
