The Hero
The Hero / Lazlo En Kuldes
Tenkai Star
- Voiced by: Takashi Ohara (Voice A) and Emi Ogawa (Voice B) (JP)
The Protagonist of Suikoden IV, his Canon Name is Lazlo. He is the Tenkai Star, also known as the Chief Star of Heaven, of the 108 Stars of Destiny.
- Almighty Janitor: By the time of Suikoden Tactics, he acts as a random agent for Lino, who doesn't even bother to personally order him to join the new heroes. Lazlo, by that point, can freely destroy entire fleets with his True Rune. What nobody (including Lazlo) realizes is that by birthright he should be the crown prince.
- A Taste of Power: Inverted: He wears the outfit of the Razril Knights at the beginning of the game, including their single-sword style. When he ditches the uniform for plot reasons and takes up his second sword, his attack power effectively doubles.
- Blessed with Suck: The Rune of Punishment. Not only does it have the normal baggage of one of the True Runes, it actively drains the life of its bearer whenever they use it.
- Subverted if you manage to recruit the 108 Stars Of Destiny, as it causes the rune to successfully transit to its Forgiveness phase (best demonstrated in Suikoden Tactics), as the True Rune will now heal him. Lazlo is apparently the first bearer in a very long time to survive to see that transition.
- Blow You Away: In Tactics, his default elemental affinity is wind.
- Cast from Lifespan/Cast from Hit Points: The Rune of Punishment has this effect on its bearer, Lazlo included. This is until he frees the soul of Glen Cott from the True Rune. However, if he doesn't recruit all of the Stars of Destiny, it will catch up to him.
- Chick Magnet: He winds up with a harem of ladies due to the fact he recruits an awful lot of women and gets ship tease all over the place. Hell, at least two cliques of three get together to gush and giggle over him. One of said cliques even declares themselves his personal bodyguards.
- Best summed up in the confessions of almost every female, which range from praising, gushing, Tsundere, worried, and lampshading his popularity. Lazlo himself seems more bemused by their actions than anything.
- Combination Attack: Can perform the "Double Sword Attack" (with Kika), the "Friendship Attack/True Friends Attack (with Snowe), and the "Double Leader Attack" (in Tactics, with Kyril).
- Conveniently an Orphan: His father is actually still alive. And by the end of the game, they have a very close relationship... without either of them having any clue that they're father and son.
- Death by Irony: If Lazlo refuses to forgive Snowe and execute him, he also dies in the ending because without the 108 Stars, the Rune of Punishment won't change into its Forgiveness Phase.
- Dual Wielding: His weapons are a pair of swords.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Good thing you're big on the whole 'hard work' ethic, Lazlo. Your life depends on it. It requires forgiving Snowe for his betrayal and recruiting every other Star of Destiny to your cause, so you'd better get to it.
- Elemental Powers: In Naval Battles, Lazlo can use Rune Cannons of every element.
- The Exile: He was cast out from Gaien when it was believed he killed Glen. It gets rescinded later.
- Give Me Back My Wallet: The Golden Seal, entrusted to him by Lino En Kuldes, is stolen by Champo and Nalkul during a side-quest.
- Guest-Star Party Member: "Child Lazlo" in the beginning of Suikoden Tactics.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: He starts with a training sword, like any other Gaien Knight, but loses it (and his armor) after being exiled and replaces it uses a pair of smaller swords.
- Hard Work Hardly Works: Averted; Lazlo's hard work and dedication is what caused him to catch Glen's eye and be treated as a prodigy.
- The Hero: He is The Protagonist and the central character, who unites the Island Nations against the invasion of the Kooluk Empire.
- Heroic Mime: Interestingly, though, the player can select one of two voice sets for him, or go completely without one. As is typical of the Suikoden series, the main character does have (text-only) dialogue, but it comes entirely in the form of menu options for the player. Suikoden heroes tend to only talk when there's something important to say, apparently.
- Averted in Tactics, where he speaks normally.
- Magnetic Hero: By necessity, with 107 potential recruits on offer.
- Making a Splash: He has best affinity with the Water Rune.
- Moses in the Bulrushes: He was washed up on Razril's shore as an orphaned toddler. He was then Happily Adopted by the Vingerhut family, who took him in as an adopted servant and playmate for their son, Snowe. The pair enrolled in the Gaien Marine Knights Academy together, where his dedication to hard work caught the eye of Commander Glen.
- Mr. Fanservice: Lazlo has a lot of Fangirls in-universe. Must have something to do with the short-shorts...
- One-Hit KO: "Voice of Death", the third attack of the True Rune of Punishment has a high probability of instant killing one enemy, and a 10% chance of killing Lazlo instead...
- Power-Strain Blackout: He faints after each use of the Rune of Punishment, due to it draining its host's lifeforce with each use, until it finally kills them. This can be averted by successfully recruiting all 108 Stars of Destiny.
- The Scapegoat: Gets framed for Glen's death.
- Secret Character: You can recruit him in Tactics by using a Suikoden IV clear data data with all the characters recruited.
- Secret Legacy: He's actually the lost Prince of Obel, who was lost to sea at the same time the Queen of Obel sacrificed herself. Ironically, the King of Obel later considers naming Lazlo as his successor, despite not realizing his true identity.
- The Stoic: Not very expressive, particularly when compared to other Tenkai Stars. Many of the confessions comment how he's very serious, even when playing the lottery or relaxing.
- Soul-Powered Engine: Inverted. Unlike the Soul Eater Rune, which gains power by consuming the souls of those who are dear to the wielder, the Rune of Punishment unlocks new abilities by freeing the souls of its past owners, who are stuck inside it.
- The Unchosen One: He was not selected by destiny or anything: He received the rune, like so many others, because he got too close to someone that was being consumed by it.
- Walking the Earth: He apparently vanished some time after things settled down in the Island Nations. Since the Rune of Punishment hasn't surfaced in over 150 years, it's possible that he's still alive and kicking out there somewhere, but keeping a low profile because he doesn't want to risk the Rune going back into its "Punishment" phase again (either through his death or losing the Rune).
Snowe Vingerhut
Tenan Star
- Voiced by: Kissho Taniyama (JP), Paul Stephen (EN)
A native of Razril and Lazlo's childhood friend. He and Lazlo trained to be Gaien Knights, and ultimately graduated together. Snowe is the Tenan Star, also known as the Dark Star, of the 108 Stars of Destiny.
- And Your Reward Is Clothes: His outfits over the course of the game can be found in the sea.
- Asshole Victim: Lazlo is also given the option to execute him for betraying him and selling Razril to Kooluk, but by doing so you won't be able to recruit the 108 Stars of Destiny.
- Born Unlucky: Gameplay-wise, he has the lowest luck stat of all characters.
- Character Development: His character arc parallels Lazlo's, and he's more expressive. However, most of his development doesn't happen unless the players has Lazlo keep forgiving Snowe for all of his betrayals.
- Chick Magnet: Ironically enough, he's a Chaste Hero.
- Combination Attack: Can perform the "Friendship Attack/True Friends Attack" with Lazlo.
- Cool Sword: Uses a sword for combat.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Subverted; while Lazlo can offer him a place in his army after defeating him, Snowe refuses. Until the last time you ask, when he has a Heel Realization.
- Dirty Coward: "My arm!", he cries from a minor injury, which takes him out of the fight at the beginning of the game. Notably, his attempts to prove that he isn't a coward just makes things worse, as everyone can see he's putting on an act and trying to dodge responsibility.
- Elemental Powers: In Naval Battles, Snowe can use Rune Cannons of every element. For normal battles, he has better affinity with Water and Wind Runes.
- Fatal Flaw: Cowardice. He simply doesn't understand why he's seen as such a bad leader, and why nobody else can comprehend where he's coming from when he makes decisions. The reason that no one can comprehend him is that Snowe makes decisions which cover his own ass, but leave everyone else to take the fall for him.
- Finish Him!: Lazlo is given the option of executing him several times during the story. However, doing it prevents you from getting the Golden Ending.
- Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: On the receiving end of this. Deconstructed in that this treatment actually makes things worse in the long run, as he doesn't understand why he gets punched.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Grows to be real jealous of the hero.
- Guest-Star Party Member: As "Child Snowe" in the beginning of Suikoden Tactics.
- I Did What I Had to Do: How he feels about making a deal to protect Razril from Kooluk.
- Making a Splash/An Ice Person: Starts with the Water Rune. In Tactics, water is also his default elemental affinity.
- Minor Injury Overreaction: "Ow, my arm!" he cries at the beginning of the game, getting a minor wound (if that) and taking himself out of the fight. This shows his cowardice and unwillingness to pt himself in harm's way, despite being a soldier.
- Nepotism: Snowe has no experience as a leader, has poor control over his emotions, and doesn't handle himself well in conflict. He gets a lot of preferential treatment because he's Vincent's son. What happens to him is exactly what one would expect from such a poor leader.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: The other Knights of Gaien scorn and mock him for his arm injury.
- Odd Friendship: Lazlo's master and best friend, though striking a balance between those roles proves difficult.
- The Quisling: Snowe trades vital information, the dissolution of Razril's chapter of the Knights of Gaien, and the use of their island as a hub for the Kooluk's ongoing invasion in exchange for Razril's safety. In exchange, the Kooluk give him a false title and duties, distracting him from how Razril suffers under their control... leading to his immense surprise when the citizens turn on him.
- Power Up Mount: In Tactics, Snowe can ride kangacorns and great owls.
- The Resenter: At first, Snowe's confusion over Glen's death allows him to be manipulated by his controlling father. But later, he begins to be angry at Lazlo.
- Suikoden Tactics reveals that he had been jealous of Lazlo ever since their childhood, as seen when Walter praises Lazlo's fighting skills.
- The Scapegoat: Kooluk sets him up as one after he strikes a deal with them to save Razril, by giving him a special position that conveniently takes him away from Razril so that he doesn't see its decline firsthand.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Like Jowy Atreides before him, Snowe is a fair-haired young noble who ends up pitted against his best friend.
- Upper-Class Twit: Snowe is a decent fighter, but is weaker than Lazlo and lacks leadership skills. Nonetheless, he is promoted because of his father's influence.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Towards his own father and Commander Glen.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He really does want to serve and protect Razril, even if it means making a deal with the Kooluk Empire so they don't have to go to war. When these efforts aren't appreciated and he's driven out of the harbor, he snaps and decides to take a cue from Lazlo, turning to piracy.

The exact nature of those crimes are never specified, but given the nature of the Na-Nal elves, they probably amounted to nothing more than "not being a Jerkass to the humans."

Commanders
Glen Cott

The Commander of the Gaien Knights.
- BFS: Uses a big sword for combat.
- Blackmail: After Gaien scaled back their naval funding and left Razril to fend for itself, Vincent Vingerhut took advantage of this to start blackmailing the knights — either do as he asked, or he'd withdraw his financial support. Glen resents this arrangement, but can't bring himself to act against Vincent's wishes.
- Dual Boss: In the very first battle of the game, a Hopeless Boss Fight, Glen is fought alongside his daughter, Katarina.

- Plotline Death: Glen makes a Heroic Sacrifice by using the Rune of Punishment to wipe out most of the forces attacking Razril, trading his life for that power.

- Lawful Stupid: Though she had a good working relationship with Lazlo, she automatically believed that Lazlo killed Glen despite the evidence resting on an extremely suspicious testimony by Snowe, with whom she has a poor working relationship with. Even when confronted with Snowe's lack of leadership capabilities and being horribly tortured and later being saved by Lazlo's crew, she remains staunchly believing in his guilt. It's only after she sees the Rune of Punishment that she finally believes in Lazlo and joins him. But how this trope really sticks is her Confessional after joining the 108 Stars of Destiny. She reveals that she never believed Lazlo murdered Glen but that she was so adamant about blaming somebody that she was willing to delude herself into believing in his guilt when she knew he didn't do it.
