True to the [[Suikoden|series]] in general, ''[[Suikoden V]]'' boasts [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]:

== The Royal Family ==
Line 68 ⟶ 73:
* {{spoiler|[[Doomed by Canon]]: If you got Richmond to investigate Georg in ''[[Suikoden II]]'', you already know that Arshtat will be killed by Georg}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dying as Yourself]]: In her last moments after getting impaled, [[Tear Jerker|she thanks Georg for stopping her (from destroying the country with the Sun Rune), then asks him to watch over her children]]}}.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The Falenan Royals and their guard's designs borrow from a variety of different cultural styles: Egyptian, Greek and Japanese (especially the knights, who have a definite Samurai vibe) seem to be the main influence, and the concept of a powerful ''female'' ruler mirrors British monarchs [[The Virgin Queen|Elizabeth I]] and [[
* [[A God Am I]]: Due to the Sun Rune's influence.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: As seen when she is under the Sun Rune's corrupting influence.
Line 397 ⟶ 402:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Whereas she is demure, polite and kind, her brother Euram is foppish, spoilt and cowardly.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Compared to her [[Smug Snake]] dad and [[Upper Class Twit]] brother, its amazing she turns out so helpful and kind.
* [[The Ugly
=== Chuck ===
Line 693 ⟶ 698:
* [[Cavalry Officer]]: Leads the amphibious Dragon Cavalry.
* [[Dragon Rider]]: His speciality, as the head of the Dragon Cavalry.
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Of the Dragon
* [[Honorary Uncle]]: To Miakis: he was good friends with her father.
* [[Hostage Situation]]: However, it's soon discovered that his inaction is because the Godwins are holding the dragon eggs and foals hostage.
Line 1,025 ⟶ 1,030:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The legendary recipe he covets (explained below).
* [[Fetch Quest]]: He seeks to unlock the mysteries of the legendary ''mythical fish sashimi'', and will only join the Prince if he brings him the ''strange fish'', which can be caught when playing Subala's [[Fishing Minigame]].
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Players familiar with ''Suikoden II''{{'}}s epic [[Cooking Duel]] (which occurs ''after'' the events of ''Suikoden V'') will be familiar with what the future holds for Retso (and Shun Min): {{spoiler|Retso makes progress with the Sashimi, and after the war, he perfects the recipe, and locks it away. Years later, he meets the chef Jinkai, who convinces him to use the recipe. Shun Min disagreed with this and stole the recipe, giving it to her lover, ''Suikoden II''{{'}}s Hai Yo, to keep safe. But [[Doomed by Canon|she was killed afterwards]]. Retso blamed Hai Yo for her death and sent members of the Black Dragon Group after him to get the recipe back. But Hai Yo, who had joined Riou's castle in the Dunan Army, [[Cooking Duel|fought off chef after chef]]. Retso decides to handle things himself, and, using his artlike knife work and presentation skills, hypnotizes the judges to make them think he had Made the perfect food. Retso takes the recipe and is about to leave, but Hai Yo tells him the "Moon Bird" recipe is just something to satisfy Jinkai's lust for power. Retso gives Hai Yo another chance, and says he'll return later. After Hai Yo learns Retso's trick, he comes back and Retso fights fair, but loses. Retso realizes Shun Min was right, and returns the recipe to Hai Yo for safekeeping}}. *Phew*
* [[Recurring Character]]
* [[Team Chef]]: His speciality, once recruited.
Line 1,039 ⟶ 1,044:
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Despite raising fish for her father to cook, she feels bad about their fate and is often moved to tears if diners can't finish their meals, feeling that her fish had died for nothing.
* [[Kawaiiko]]
* [[The Ugly
* [[Unusual Eyebrows]]: Just like her father's.
Line 1,785 ⟶ 1,790:
=== Haleth ===
* [[Betting Minigame]]: His speciality
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: A former administrator at Hershville, he is known for looking the other way regarding smuggling, as long as he can take a cut.
* [[The Gambler]]
* [[The Nondescript]]: Arguably. In a series that (on the whole) has excellent character design, he's pretty bland and unmemorable, which actually makes sense, given that he ''has'' to be as bland as possible to be able to do his smuggling business well.
* [[Wild Card]]: He actually made several bets with other administrators, placing his money on a victory for the Prince's forces, and so joins to keep an eye on proceedings.
=== Leknaat the Seer ===
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: She and her sister have entirely disparate names
* [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome]]: She is the keeper of the Gate Rune, a True Rune that has the power to open portals to other worlds and dimensions. It was split in two following an attack on her village of the Gate Rune Clan by Harmonia. She kept the back half, her sister Windy kept the front half.
* [[Blind Seer]]: Her role is to provide astrological projections.
* [[Cool Teacher]]: To her young apprentice
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Hermit Guru]]: She lives in splendid isolation on the Magician's Isle, away from the prying eyes of her sister.
* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]: Like Jeane and Viki, she is a constant presence is the ''Suikoden'' world and turns up in every single game.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: She is aquainted with Zerase, acknowledging her when she first appears before the Prince.
* [[Power Floats]]: Seen only in ''Suikoden V'', where she levitates each time she appears.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: The locks of her hair are long enough to fall halfway down her torso, while the back extends all the way to the floor.
** [[Shiny Midnight Black]]
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: The power of the Gate Rune has granted her unnatural long-life.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Zerase acknowledges that she has been "given her an order" when Leknaat asks her to aid the Prince, implying that she is possibly the leader of their [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness|mysterious group]], which includes: Jeane, Zerase, Eresh and Simeon in the series thus far.
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: In each game, she'll appear at key moments in the protagonist's journey to offer insight about the Rune they've been chosen to bear and how it will shape their destiny.
** [[The Watcher]]: She acts as an inspirational guide to all the heroes.▼
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Woman in White]]: As her appearance and mannerism suggests, she's a walking enigma. Little is known about her - from her true age, to the extent of her abilities - despite her prominence throughout the series.
