[edit] Toran Liberation Army
[edit] The Hero
The unnamed hero of the game (named Tir McDohl in the novelization by Shinjiro Hori). He is the silent protagonist of Suikoden and 16 years old at the beginning of the game. He becomes the Commander-in-Chief of the Toran Liberation Army and comes to bear the Rune of Life and Death. In combat, Tir wields a Bo staff.
Tir is the only son of Teo McDohl. Because of his father's demanding position and his mother passing away shortly after his birth, he spent most of his childhood in the care of a soldier named Gremio as well as two of his father's retainers, Cleo and Pahn. He also became close to Ted, a young boy brought into the McDohl household.
Tir eventually became an imperial soldier under the command of Commander Kraze Miles of the Imperial Guard. During one of Kraze's questionable missions, Ted is forced to use his Rune of Life and Death and is taken prisoner when Kraze reports this development to the sorceress Windy. Ted escapes and reluctantly enstrusts Tir with the burden of bearing the True Rune. Tir and his loyal servants are soon branded traitors and Ted is taken prisoner once more. They are fortunately rescued by Viktor, a member of the Toran Liberation Army and welcomed into their ranks by Odessa Silverberg, the army's leader.
After winning Odessa's respect, she soon becomes to see him as a potential successor. When she is assassinated, Tir is elected to become the army's new leader. During the army's two year campaign, Tir successfully gains the support of a diverse range of groups and obtains political alliances with numerous local leaders, defeats (but does not destroy) the undead vampire Neclord and gains the aid of the Dragon Knights. However, as the bearer of the Rune of Life and Death, he bears the burden of the grief and suffering absorbed by the True Rune as his loved ones die as a result of his actions. According to the novelization, the seer Leknaat reveals that Ted was able to conquer the True Rune's curse; upon the revelation that the rune's curse could be overcome, Tir strives to do the same.
He appears as a secret playable character in Suikoden II if certain conditions are met and makes a cameo appearance in Suikogaiden Vol 2.
[edit] Odessa Silverberg
As an aristocrat, Odessa (not a Star of Destiny) had lived most of her life in relative comfort and was unaware of the suffering of the common people. When she came to see the corruption within the Scarlet Moon Empire, she became one of the original founders of the Toran Liberation Army, an anti-imperial movement started by her late fiancé, Achilles.
As the leader of the Toran Liberation Army, Odessa appointed Flik, her lover, as her Vice Commander. She also acted as the group's chief strategist, using knowledge of military strategy taught to her by her brother, Mathiu. She welcomes a young Tir McDohl into the army and begins to see him as a potential successor as he gains her respect. When the Imperial Army attacks the rebels' base, taking advantage of the absence of a considerable number of their forces, Odessa is assassinated while attempting to save a child.
The surviving members of the Liberation Army seek out Mathiu to take up Odessa's place as chief tactician and nominate Tir as their new leader. Thanks to her foresight and advanced planning, the Toran Liberation Army is ultimately victorious in the war.
[edit] Gremio
Gremio is Tir McDohl's guardian and a servant of Teo, Tir's father, who once saved Gremio's life. Because Teo was frequently away, Gremio became somewhat of an older brother and eventually a surrogate father-figure to Tir and loyally follows and protects Tir. When his young charge rises to become the leader of the Liberation Army, Gremio is faced with feelings of insecurity and comes to believe that Tir no longer needs him. He ends up sacrificing himself to save members of the army from flesh-eating spores in an ambush by General Milich Oppenheimer. If all the other Stars of Destiny are recruited before the final battle, Gremio can be resurrected by Leknaat.
After Tir chooses to become a wanderer following the Gate Rune Wars, Gremio faithfully continues follow Tir. He can briefly appear in Suikoden II as Tir's loyal bodyguard and attendant during his stay in Banner Village.
[edit] Viktor
Viktor is the only survivor of an attack that destroyed North Window and searches with a vengeance to find Neclord, the one responsible for the destruction of his home and family. He eventually hones his skills with a blade and becomes a powerful warrior, eventually joining the Toran Liberation Army. Though initially distrusted for his rogue-like tendencies, he becomes the one responsible for recruiting Tir McDohl into the army after he helped him escape Gregminster. When Odessa is assassinated during a raid at their base, Viktor leads the survivors to safety and approaches Mathiu Silverberg, a tactician and Odessa's older brother, to aid them. While visiting Warrior Village, Viktor witnesses Neclord abduct Tengaar to become his wife, Tir accompanies Viktor, and with the help of Hix, a young warrior from the village, they rescue Tengaar and seemingly "kill" Neclord (only to find out years later that it was in fact a clone, and not the real Neclord).
After defeating Neclord, Viktor requests a leave of absence from the army so he could tell the news of Neclord's death to the surviving members of his town. However, he ends up captured and held at Warren's manor at Moravia after a long fight with Kasim Hazil; Tir and his allies, along with the ninja Kasumi and thief Krin, manage to rescue him. Viktor goes on to play a major role over the course of the war and comes with Tir in the final battle with Barbarossa Rugner. Upon escaping the crumbling castle, Tir and company run into loyalist guards; in a selfless act of bravery, Viktor and Flik remain behind to fight the guards while Tir and everyone escapes. The duo are believed to be dead after the war, though their bodies are never found. In truth, Viktor and Flik survived the ordeal, though neglected to inform the Liberation Army.
[edit] Flik
Known as the "Blue Lightning", Flik is one of the original members of the Liberation Army along with Odessa, Sanchez, and Humphrey Mintz and eventually promoted to Vice Commander. He is a young warrior from the Warrior's Village as well as Odessa's lover and a close friend of Viktor. While dedicated, he has trouble controlling his anger and often makes brash and unwise decisions.
When Odessa is killed in a raid while Flik is away on another mission, he initially denounces Tir McDohl as Odessa's successor in his anger and devastation. Flik flees to the village of Kaku along with many of the remaining Liberation Army followers and he winds up responsible for a disastrous attack on Scarletitica Castle. After he cools off, he reluctantly joins the Liberation Army again for the fear of the movement dying. Realizing he is not meant to lead, he comes to see Tir's abilities and acknowledges him as the true leader of the Liberation Army. Flik becomes one of Tir's most loyal followers and condemns those who question or speak ill of the young leader.
Flik and Viktor make a last stand defending Tir's escape from Barbarossa's castle and are never seen escaping, leading many to believe the pair died. However, both of them survive, though they fail to tell the Liberation Army of their whereabouts.

Once a lieutenant of the Scarlet Moon Empire's Elite Guards, Humphrey quit the military after he killed his superior during the Kalekka incident and has lived as a fugitive ever since.
