[edit] In Otogi

Within the game developed by From Software, Otogi 2, Suetake is a playable character (out of 6). Within Otogi, Suetake possesses strong honor - He gave up his life as a human to fuse his soul with a tree so he could forever protect the Capital. Suetake carries, as his weapon, a large wheel on what you could call his back named the 'Chaos Wheel'. Although this wheel sounds a bit useless, it can whip around Suetake at blinding speed, taking out every enemey unfortunate enough to cross his path. Suetake is counted as one of the most powerful sorcerers of the Capital, and as a very devoted warrior.
