Introduction 2. Character Descriptions/Kidd Profiles 3. Acknowledgements 4. Version History ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* 1. Introduction Like Richmond in Suikoden 2, you have a character in Suikoden 3 who can do investigations of your characters for you, providing highly interesting or trivial details about them. In Suikoden 3, this character is Kidd. Once you have recruited him, he will be in Lake Castle's 2nd basement (the level below the warehouse). You can use him to inquire about your current roster or to scout characters you have not recruited to get tips on how to recruit them. In order to recruit Kidd as Geddoe, Chris, or Hugo, visit Lake Castle then go to the Inn at Duck Village. If you use Thomas, naturally, you don't have to visit Lake Castle first. Go out the door to the back where the two huts are. Enter the top hut and you will see Kidd standing over a Duck Clan person. After he's done talking, agree to help him solve the case. Look at the shelf, window, and body inside the room to get quick cutscenes with your character. Talk to Kidd again and he'll ask you to look for clues. Go and talk to the duck right outside the hut. Leave the Inn and go out to the main part of Duck Village. Talk to the duck by the waterwheel then go to the Trade Shop. Talk to the lone customer inside the store who will give you a piece of paper. Go back and talk to Kidd. Pick whatever choice you want when he asks who was the killer (just for laughs I always say it's me). After he's done and the whole situation has been sorted out, ask him to go to Lake Castle and he'll join. Whenever you ask Kidd to do an inquiry, the first piece of information you get will be a brief profile with general information. Thereafter, each person has 3 inquiries that provide more details about them. The price for each inquiry varies by character, although the later inquiries of each character always cost more than the previous ones. It takes 10 minutes of real time for each inquiry to be completed, sometimes a minute more or a minute less. In addition to Kidd's profiles, I have included each character's description from the Tablet of Stars. Luc, Yuber, Sarah, and Albert cannot be investigated by Kidd. To the best of my knowledge, they cannot be scouted, either. I have put the inquiries in the order in which the characters appear on the Tablet of Stars, top to bottom from the left columns to the right. The four non-star dogs are at the end. In the case of _really_ horrible grammar errors (something else the Suikoden series is unfortunately known for), I have gone ahead and corrected them. Other inaccuracies, such as the Tablet description of Shabon as a "he", have also been corrected. ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* 2. Character Descriptions/Kidd Profiles Key: Dunan-If you loaded Suikoden 2 data, this is the name of your army from that game. "Dunan" is the default name if you did not load Suikoden 2 data. Lake Castle-Refers to whatever you re-named Budehuc/Lake Castle. ( )-Additional notes and comments for certain characters. P.-Short for profile. Just shorthand so everything lines up nicely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas: Tenkai, Slasher An indecisive, ordinary young man and the master of Lake Castle. P. He is an ordinary boy in all respects, but he's the master of a castle as well. Needless to say, he has a sweet tooth. 1. He's not a fast runner, but he's good at swimming. 2.

They participated in the Toran Liberation War and the Dunan Unification War.

I'll tell you in the next investigation. 2. Actually, he likes to drink green tea while sunbathing on the deck. He acts like an old man. 3. He likes to lend a hand in the kitchen. Maybe that's why married women like him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan: Tenman, FightFighter A young man teaching martial arts at Lake Castle. He easily falls asleep anywhere. P. He runs a training center. He has no customers, so he naps all day long. 1. Emily was trying to find him. My guess is that he's sleeping somewhere.

His father was beaten by a drifter at his training center. He says he's waiting for that drifter to return.

By Duck standards, he's quite good looking. They say that girls are attracted to his eyes and tail. 2. It is said that he was once the head of a happy family, with a wife and children. I wonder if it's true! 3. For some reason, he is separated from his family.

I wonder who that person might be? 2. He said he likes beef rice. I asked him how much he liked it and he said "reasonably." What does he mean by that? 3. The Star Dragon Sword is famous for speaking to humans. I've heard of a legendary sword that defeated an evil vampire and it had the same name. Is this the same sword? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yumi: Tenyu, Slasher A girl from the Alma Kinan Village with the special ability to speak with the spirits. P. She's a noble warrior from Alma Kinan. 1. She's kind. When I went to investigate, she gave me a cookie. It was delicious. 2. Men adore her, but I understand why. If I was five years older.... 3.

Lately, he's been seen with a Nasel bird on his shoulder. He calls it "Dominguez Junior." What a funny name! 3. Before coming here, he lived with his sister and a distant relative. There must be a reason... (According to Blue Moon at suikosource.com, it's highly likely Nash's "missus" is Sierra from Suikoden 2. Nash is the main character of the two Suikogaiden games released in Japan but never in the US) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aila: Teni, Knight A Karaya girl who is tomboyish and has an as-yet undeveloped ability to communicate with the spirits. P. A woman warrior from the Karaya Clan. She has magical powers, too. 1. She is offering soda to all of the Karayans who come to the Castle. 2. At the library, Ernie was teaching her the alphabet.

Since she was a child she has been known for her swordsmanship, but she wasn't good at the lessons that girls usually take. 2. As a student, she was in the chapel choir. But she was utterly tone deaf! She quit soon after. It's a memory she would rather forget. 3. She had a fight with Lilly at the Zexen Federation Day Ball. They hurled wine, slapped each other, and threw tables. After all that, they became friends! Frightening, huh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estella: Tenkyu, FocusMagician She specializes in magic with her apprentice, Rody. Some find her annoying because she enjoys teasing people. P. She's a witch who travels with her apprentice. Her magic is first class, but her clothes are something else. 1. Estella was born 50 years ago from a rock. I know it's true because she told me. Isn't that a great tale? 2. Well, she's on her way to Tenjik to get an old book. That's very, very far away. Wow! 3. She had a pupil, a water imp named Rody. He attacked Estella once, but became her disciple after she fought back. Her magic made him human. Astonishing! (In case you haven't figured it out, Estella is a pathological liar. Along with the above, UnangBangkay e-mailed me with the following information: [We know she's a liar, but the story she's relating is the Journey to the West, known as Saiyuki in Japanese, wherein the monk Genjo Sanzo--His Japanese name, and the role Estella put herself in--travels to Tenjiku (it was misspelled in the game) to retrieve some Bhuddist texts. On the way he fights a Water Imp-- named Sa Gojyo, and Rody's role--who joins him. Missing from the lie are Son Goku and Cho Hakkai.] Thanks to UnangBangkay for shedding more light on Estella) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecile: Tentai, ArmorKnight The high-spirited commander of the guards at Lake Castle. P. She is a beautiful girl who is the Castle gatekeeper. She's surprisingly strong. 1. She likes armor. She is proud of the fact that she doesn't take it off, even on hot days. 2.

Nothing is known of his background, not even his age. P. Captain of the Twelfth Unit of the Southern Frontier Defense Force. He's silent and unpleasant, but is known as a wise and reliable warrior. 1. Before joining the Frontier Defense Force seven or eight years ago, he explored faraway nations. 2. He must be more than 100 years old. It's been 50 years since he and the Flame Champion parted ways. What was he doing during those years? 3. He's exactly 112 years old. I'm pretty sure about that because I asked Sana. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melville: Tenken, Slasher A boy living in Vinay Del Zexay who formed the Saint Loa Knights with Alanis and Elliot P. This one's a pure boy. He formed the Saint Loa Knights with Alanis and Elliot. 1. He lives on his own at his young age. He has to...his father comes and goes irregularly and he has no mother. He's a diligent boy. 2. He was taking a bath with his father. I don't know what they were talking about. 3. He was separated from his mother and lost contact with her. I don't know why, but maybe his father had something to do with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ace: Tenhei, Knight A member of the Twelfth Unit of the Holy Harmonia Kingdom's Southern Frontier Defense Force. He manages the unit's administrative duties. P. He's the clerk and accountant for the Twelfth Unit of the Southern Frontier Defense Force. He whines a lot and likes women. 1. He's leading a hard life as a mercenary. 2. He's doing the accountant's job because nobody else wanted it. He got the short end of that stick. 3. He's writing a novel under a funny pen name. Maybe it has already been published! (If you check Arthur's newsletter then press right on your d-pad, you will see a serial novel titled "Erk's Adventures" written by "Hitman Bravo". This is likely the novel mentioned in the profile. Erk in danger!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alanis: Tenzai, IceMagician A girl living in Vinay Del Zexay who formed the Saint Loa Knights with Melville and Elliot. P. She formed the Saint Loa Knights with Melville and Elliot. Their main duty is to patrol the area. 1. She loves insects and animals. Lately, she's become a fan of the Lizard Clan. 2. Sometimes, she goes out with Melville and Elliot but she returns before long. It's dangerous to go far away. 3. According to Martha's fortune telling, "Alanis will be a pretty lady like me."

She is the only woman in the unit. P. The only woman among the Twelfth Unit of the Southern Frontier Defense Force. 1. I thought she was scary, but learned she's actually a nice person. I did an investigation for her once and she gave me candy. 2. Ernie told me that Queen knows a lot about books and music, which makes her quite different from the other members of the Defense Force. 3. Her home country was destroyed by Harmonia. She was born into a prominent family. That's a little surprising. (I received an e-mail from emperormagus that sheds more light on Queen's profile: [Sanady is a small country that was conquered by Harmonia around the year 440. Sanady resisted Harmonia's aggression, and thus its citizens became third class under Harmonian rule. This resulted in many families being torn apart as servants for first class citizens. Sanady is currently considered a province within Harmonia, and is run by ex-Sanadian aristocrats who have become Harmonian sympathizers. This is why Queen acted the way she did toward Franz. She was forced to go to Crystal Valley just like Franz was. Also according to Blue Moon she was an aristocrat from Sanady as well.] Thanks to emperormagus and Blue Moon for this information) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elliot: Tenpai, MerchantHunter A boy who yearns to be a treasure hunter. Formed the Saint Loa Knights with Melville and Alanis. Can detect all sorts of scents. P. He wants to be a treasure hunter. He has a good nose for treasure. 1. If you include Elliot in your party, your money increases. That's pretty darned convenient. 2. His family runs a bakery. When Melville's father doesn't come home, Melville sometimes eats there. 3. He and Melville made a secret base. When he told Alanis about it, Melville was so angry he started a fight. (If you recruit Elliot/Melville with Hugo, Elliot mentions that his father was killed in a previous war, hence only his mother gets referenced mostly) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Franz: Tenrou, Knight LeBuque's best trainer of the Mantors that are raised in the town. P. A warrior at Le Buque. He can control Mantors better than any of the other Mantor warriors. He immediately carries out orders from the Harmonian Army. 1.

She is Franz's friend from years earlier. Iku scolds Franz, who does not get along with people easily. P. She's Franz's girlfriend. She's kindhearted and loves humans and Mantors equally. 1. She takes care of the insects at the village. It must be hard work. 2. Her childhood friend Franz became a warrior, so she started studying to become a nurse. 3. I saw her taking the insects for a walk. Iku rode a flying insect while blowing a whistle to lead the other insects. It was a mysterious sight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott: Tenbou A trading merchant with his parrot partner, Waurenhyte, on his shoulder. He travels whichever way the wind blows. P. He's a trading merchant with a parrot called Waurenhyte. 1. He claims to have traveled all around the world. It must be dangerous to be a trading merchant, but it's nice to be free. 2. He works for a big company. He hopes to work hard and some day have his own big store. 3. He traded a candle for Waurenhyte in a southern country. It was the first thing he got from trading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ernie: Tenkoku A tutor. She uses a room in Lake Castle.

She went to study at Greenhill. She's now active in an association in Vinay Del Zexay. 3. She's a member of the Association of Ancient History at Vinay Del Zexay. She studies the ancient history of the Cyndar. Cool, huh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dios: Tenkou The Chief of Staff of the Holy Harmonia Kingdom's regular army. He leads the army and supports Bishop Sasarai. P. He's a subordinate of Sasarai, Bishop of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. He has a reputation for being skilled but having bad luck. 1. He was delighted when I told him his sideburns were manly. He's proud of them. 2. He's bright but he has no social skills. Sasarai knows that and appreciates his ability. 3. Three years ago, he saw action in the war when Harmonia fought for the restoration of land in Highland. He drew a short straw, but Sasarai noticed that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Albert: Chikai He comes from the Silverberg family renowned for its strategists. Albert is Caesar's elder brother. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mua: Chiretsu, Guard A free knight of the Kamaro. He is heavily armored, with a single-handed sword in his right hand and a shield in the other. He has high fighting capabilities. P. After the hostile movement in Grassland, he came to this land with the Free Knights of Kamaro. 1. Wan Fu, Leo, and Mua together are very...masculine. Monsters would surely run away. 2. He takes care of his mustache and beard. He shaves three times a day. 3. He sleeps in pajamas and a nightcap. He uses curlers in his mustache.

What's her real identity? 1. Oh, I thought I found something...but I forgot what it was. Am I tired? 2. I don't understand anything. 3. It would be better if you do no more investigating. (Richmond's investigation of Jeane in Suikoden II was equally fruitless) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shabon: Chiyu, StormMagician A young skillful busker who is good at bodhran. She thinks of Nei as an older sister. P. She's a young traveling busker who plays the bodhran. It's surprising to note that she's skilled in kung fu. 1. She is fond of Sgt. Joe.

She's a genius who has a skill of some kind. But I don't know what kind... (You've got to see her combination attack with Sgt. Joe-it's hilarious! Shabon is a pretty strong character at higher levels, too. No, I'm not kidding) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred: Chii, Guard As the Captain of the Maximillian Knights, Fred is always bold, but he assumes too much.

He's a commoner from the country. He got the job when he applied to be a knight. He struggled his way up the ranks and now he is one of the six Zexen Knights. Isn't that great? 3.

Actually, he was brought up by a wealthy family. When I asked him about it, he became furious. 3. His hobby is collecting wine. It must cost a lot... (Borus' last name is "Redrum". If you check his room at Lake Castle in ch. 5, you'll find a note that says, "All work and no play make Borus a dull boy". Just kidding about that last part) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twaikin: Chibun, ShieldKnight A hole-digging dwarf from the south who uses his shovel as a weapon. P. He came from a dwarf village in the back of a big forest. He likes to dig holes. 1. His most attractive feature is his mole. His grandmother has one just like it. It's nothing important. 2. Sebastian asked him to dig a hole in the Castle backyard. He was delighted, but did he know it was for garbage? Maybe it's okay if he just digs... 3.

P. He is an attendant to Lilly Pendragon, daughter of the Tinto leader, who is here to patrol. His life is full of worries. 1. Compared to Reed, he is the type who says what he wants to say.

I received an e-mail from chea00 with the correct information: [well...Kidd wasnt refering to the Dunan war..he was refering to the High East Rebellion...which happend 3 years b4 S3...Ace also mentions it in North Cave, Ayeme and Watari also took part in that Rebellion...i asked Blue Moon about it and this is wut he said... "Based on info I gathered from the game and other sourcs (Japanese publications), the High East incident is officially referred to as the War of Harmonian Territorial Reclamation. Harmonia attacked Dunan in order to reclaim Highland as their vassal state. Sasarai and Dios were both involved in this, and in the end, the Harmonians were defeated. It is uncertain whether ex-Highland royals were brought out as a symbol during the incident. However, based on Watari and Ayame's conversation, it seems like it involved a "woman.," to whom Watari was fiercely loyal to. Watari and Ayame are a member of the "Kage," a secret Highland ninja force which seems to have continued to exist after the Dunan Unification War. The organization seems to have been assimilated by Dunan after the war, but Watari left the organization due to his loyalty to the Highland Kingdom. That's all I know."] Many thanks to chea, Blue Moon, and revraycool for making me aware of my mistake and providing the correct content) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuta: Chijyu Doctor at the castle.
