Pesmerga is the Teni Star in both Suikoden and Suikoden II.

Profile[]

Background[]

He is a mysterious Black Knight, who is in search of the chaotic Black Knight, Yuber. He uses a Crimson Sword, which is a sword that is imbued with runic power.

Appearance[]

Pesmerga as a Black Knight with black hair, wears heavy black armor, which covers his entire body along with a red loincloth at the center of his greaves. He has on a giant black horned helmet which covers his eyes, which to this day no one has ever seen (except possibly Yuber). The armor has large spikes on the shoulder's as well as pointed boots. It also sports a distinctive yellow colored cape.

In Suikoden II, he remains largely the same only the cape is changed to orange and is no longer has a loincloth on his greaves. Both the sleeves and his pants are now forest green, his heavy black armor are now in a silver trim while the greaves from his armor are now in a gold trim. He also has a silver emblem at the center of his armor.

Pesmerga always seems to look the same in all his appearances, not seeming to have aged at all.

Personality[]

Pesmerga has a very stead-fast personality, focused only on one thing, finding Yuber, and serving whoever his current master is, the person helping him with his quest.

As soon as Yuber moves on, he vanishes, continuing to chase after Yuber. He has an extremely quiet and stoic personality, and doesn't say much.

Since he joins so late in the game, and Richmond cannot dig up much information about him, there isn't much else known about him. Richmond describes him as "...just a shadow from another existence" and it's possible he is not "human" as we know a human to be.

Story[]

Suikoden I[]

Pesmerga joined the Liberation Army in hopes of finding Yuber, he does find Yuber eventually, in Gregminster. Following the defeat of the Imperial Army outside Gregminster, Yuber uses the "Eight Devil Formation", which is a magical formation that would have forced the Liberation Army to become confused during battle. Pesmerga was able to see through this and lead a charge against the only weak spot in the formation, disrupting Yuber's ranks. He found Yuber and a duel occurred, unfortunately, Yuber ran away after only a few strikes. After the Toran Liberation War, he continued his pursuit of Yuber.

Suikoden II[]

During the Dunan Unification War, he joined the Dunan Army to once again search for Yuber, but he was unable to face off with him because Yuber ran away before he reached his unit in L'Renouille. Since then, Pesmerga has continued to scour the world for Yuber, with his whereabouts unknown.

Role in the Game[]

In order to recruit Pesmerga, speak with him on the top floor of Neclord's Castle.

Note: The castle must be Lv. 4 in order to recruit Pesmerga.

Pesmerga is a beast of a character. He has the highest Strength and HP stats in the game and his defense is top-notch as well. Sadly, he is incredibly slow, but a party member with a Spark Rune can overcome this problem. He can't equip the best armor in the game due to the Dragon Armor permanently attached to him, but his high defense and HP more than make up for it.

"Die!"

"Farewell!"

Talk to him in Cave of the Wind after defeating the Bone Dragon. The player must have recruited over 100 Stars of Destiny.

Once again, Pesmerga returns as a powerful ally with high stats in Strength, HP, and Defense. His one open Rune slot and one open equipment slot means he has extremely limited customization options, but his high stats and good equipment still keeps him as one of the top fighters. He still needs a speedy ally with a Spark Rune to overcome his lackluster speed stat. His permanently embedded Rage Rune gives his weapon a fire elemental property, but also increases his high attack power even more. His magic stat has also been given a modest boost that makes him more flexible, but the player may still want to concentrate on his melee skills over magic.

"Urk........"

"It can't be the end...."

  • Secret 1:

Name: Pesmerga
Age: Unknown
From: Unknown
Position: Infantry Captain
Note: None

  • Secret 2:

"I still don't know what this guy really is, but apparently no one in the castle has ever seen him either eating or sleeping."

  • Secret 3:

"He moves pretty damned quiet for a guy with all that armor, I tell ya. It's a little spooky."

  • Secret 4:
"I'm still not sure what kind of a creature he is. Some people say he's just a shadow from another existence."

"His true appearance is as shrouded in mystery as his taste buds. It's Pesmerga!!!"

Trivia[]

  • His name means "He who faces Death" in Kurdish.
  • Bringing Pesmerga during the Liberation of Greenhill would not trigger an event between him and Yuber.
  • Even though Pesmerga always has the Dragon Armor permanently equipped on, if the player hacks Suikoden, the player can not only find out he can equip the Windspun Armor, but that it can also be transfered over into Suikoden II.
  • If the player uses codes to unlock Pesmerga as well as Ayda and Oulan, they will be present in army battles since the fight against Kiba and Klaus.
  • Pesmerga and Shu are supporting characters that have the most attack power. If they are in the unit of Georg, it would attack the power of 17. In opposition to the unity of Kiba, it would be 17 defense (Klaus with another character (AppleHumphrey, Lorelai with +2 of defense).
  • Some times, after the player recruits Pesmerga, he can appear in the Muse army battle, replacing Chaco.
  • Pesmerga is one of the several characters that can possibly join your party at level 99 due to a game glitch.
  • People think Pesmerga is one of the toughest judges in the cooking-off mini game, but actually he enjoys some dishes unlike Clive or Luc, He seems to love food that causes Panic and Fury status, like Blackened Sole and Nanami Ice.
  • His absence in Suikoden III is maybe because Yuber totally changed his appearance, so he lost Yuber's tracks.
