In Suikoden, the 108 Stars of Destiny refers to the protagonist and the other 107 characters who will aid him (usually) at his headquarters in his epic struggle with fate.
In each main Suikoden game (excluding the Genso Suikogaiden games and Suikoden Tactics), there are 108 recruitable characters. While recruiting all of the Stars of Destiny is not a requirement to finishing the game, recruiting all of them gives certain bonuses that affect the story of the game.
