non-star characters

Commander Glen

Glen is the commander of the Knights of Gaien in Razril. He and Katarina have both a business and personal relationship together. He will come to your aid when Snowe abandonded you and his ship, and in doing so he inherits the Rune of Punishment. Eventually the pirates will attack and he will use the Rune on them. It will kill him and the Rune of Punishment transfers itself to the Hero. You will then be blaimed for his death and exiled by Katarina.

Vincent Vingerhut

Vincent Vingerhut is the lord of Razril. He took charge of the Hero when he was found at sea at a young age. He raised you and Snowe very differently. You were treated more as a servent, Snowe was treated as royalty. Snowe's upbringing made him a poor captain and questionable person. The hero's left him as a good candidate for the Rune of Punishment. When Snowe and Vincent sell Razril out to the Kooluk, he runs off. After you reclaim it, you run him off for good.

Pirate Brandeau

The pirate Brandeau was once a friend of Kika. He inherited the Rune of Punishment from a man named Steele during a naval battle. During the battle, his good friend Edgar was killed, he inherited the Rune of Punishment. After the battle, he decided not to go back to Kika. He couldn't tell her that Edgar was dead. Instead he became a Pirate in his own rite. He would eventually pass the Rune off to Commander Glen.

"Assassin"

Although he is only known as the "assassin," in Suikoden IV, his real name is Peck. He was disfigured by the Rune of Punishment with the same blast that killed Edgar. He chose to go with Brandeau. Peck was loyal to Brandeau as a friend and underling. When the Knights of Gaien had him surrounded, he thought nothing about peck and destroyed him with all the knights.

Colton

Colton is in charge of one of the divisions of the Kooluk army. He is very assertive and it lands on him to babysit Troy most of the time. He is not afraid to destroy islands, but he does what he does for his country not to fulfill personal urges.

Troy

Troy (also known as the child of the sea god) is supposedly untouchable. He's not special by any means other than being very good at what he does. He doesn't like destruction as much as his counterparts and tries to do things through more political means. He is formost concerned with the southern-expansion of Kooluk, not in tracking down a Rune as a favor for a neighboring country.

Reinbach II

Reinbach II is the lord of Middleport. He maintains a free and wealthy city by any means necessary. These means include trading with the Cray Trading Co. This action disgraces his son and eventual successor. He has a pet land shell which he names "Daisy." When you kill it, he fires Micky, who was suppose to be watching out for him.

Nay Island Chief

The Nay Island Chief is trying to promote his city which loses all its young people to more interesting towns like Obel. He cannot throw his support behind you, because he could not protect his citizens if he did. He does allow you to take anybody willing to go. He introduces you to Kevin and Pam. They washed ashore after Illuya was attacked, and Island Chief took care of them.

Na-Nal Island Chief

The Na-Nal Island Chief is a very callous and rude man. He has quite a temper and isn't afraid to use it. He was visited by Troy and sided with the Kooluk. He will use you trying to help the Kooluk and the Elves will trick him into poisoning them. After the Kooluk invade he sends his son with the hero as a way of showing his devotion to your cause.

Elven Elder

The Elven Elder runs the Elven settlement on Na-Nal island. When the island chief sides with the Kooluk, the Elven Elder intercedes by tricking the chief into poisoning the Kooluk. He leaves the hero and his party (along with the chief's son) locked up while the kooluk die of poison and the Na-Nal citizens are killed by the Kooluk. Selma, one of the elves, disagrees with this and lets you out to go help. She is then banished by the Elder.

Leknaat

Leknaat is called the executor of balance. She watches over the wearer of the true runes and determines if they are using them wisely. She checks in on the Hero from time to time in his sleep. She also uses Teds Souleater to destroy the Fog Ship Guide when he refuses to go back to where he came from quietly. She carries half of a true rune called the Gate Rune. The other half should be with "Windy," who doesn't appear in Suikoden IV.

Fog Ship Guide

The Fog Ship Guide made a pact with Ted. Ted would get to live forever and get rid of the Souleater. In return he would have to go with him. For 150 years he does that. The Fog Ship Guide then sets his sites on the Hero and his Rune of Punishment. When he refuses to give up the rune, Ted also decides to leave. He asks for his rune back and the Guide will attack you. Afterwards, Leknaat will destroy him and Ted will get his Souleater back.

Queen of Obel

The Queen of Obel appears only in the movie clips of this game. She is the woman on the opening credits using the rune of punishment. When she used the rune of punishment to protect Obel, she left Lino En Kuldes a widower, Flare motherless and lost her young son at sea. She recieved the rune while visiting the Obel Ruins.

Man in Mysterious tunnel

The Man in Mysterious tunnel is Rakgi's father and Rikie's husband. He died in the Obel Ruins and the Rune went into hiding until The Queen of Obel appeared and it landed on her.

Boy in Mysterious tunnel

The Boy in Mysterious tunnel is Graham Cray's son. When Graham Cray lost the rune, it went to his son. For a long time Cray tried to protect his son from the rune. One day while under attack, the boy used the rune and killed many (including his own countrymen) and died.

Graham Cray

Graham Cray once owned the Rune of Punishment. He cut his arm off to get rid of the rune, only to see it transfer itself to his son. He would later see his son and many others die as his son tried to use it. He made a fake left hand that shoots poisonous darts. He also manipulates the Kooluk's southern expansion just so he can find the Rune of Punishment and take it once again.

The Governor

The Governor is being manipulated by Graham Cray. He runs the southern expansion until he and Cray have trouble, then he is locked up in the dungeon of Fort El-Eal and left to die. When Ramada is spying upon the Kooluk, he finds the Governor and the governor gives Ramada information to help the Hero stop Graham Cray. When you get to Fort El-Eal, you find his dead body in one of the cells.

Man and his Daughter

There is a girl at the beginning of the game who gets kidnapped. If you rescue her, her and her father will go with you on your ship later. They serve no purpose other than to give you somebody else to talk to onboard. To get them to join, talk to them both individually at the Training hall, after its liberated. They are at the Training hall in the evening. That is when you should talk to them. Onboard they will be on the 3rd deck hanging out.

Cat

Early in the game, there is a cat on the Razril docks. You can pet it and it will give you a medicine. When you liberate Razril, talk to it again during the evening and ask him if he wants to go to your ship. He will be at the hot spring on the 3rd deck playing with Setsu. He also serves no purpose. He's not even the only cat onboard.
