Tai Ho is the Tenhei Star in Suikoden and Suikoden II.

Profile[]

Background[]

Tai Ho is a well known fisherman who has sailed many seas, but he's also a known smuggler and gambler, with contacts with merchants like Kun To. He and Yam Koo have sworn the oath of brotherhood after working together for many years.

Appearance[]

Tai Ho has brown hairs and a pointy beard, and wears a purple bandana on his head. He also wears a beige tunic, a purple belt and sandals. His weapon of choice is a spear.

Personality[]

Tai Ho, as a gambler, loves to take risks, whatever they are. Without risks, his life as no meaning. Yam Koo is always dragged in Tai Ho's risky adventures against his will.

Story[]

Suikoden I[]

During the Gate Rune Wars, when no fishermens in Kaku wanted to help Tir and his group reach the foggy Toran Castle on Lake Toran, he volunteered to do the job after Tir won a play of Chinchirorin against him. Tai Ho was also helpful with his sailing expertise as well as pacifying and recruiting the Lake Toran Pirates. After the war, Tai Ho took a contract with Kun To in order to escape Kimberley, who had imposed herself on his household.

Suikoden II[]

During the Dunan Unification War, while Tai Ho was operating in Coronet, he encountered Riou and a small group, who were seeking to cross to South Window. Tai Ho was willing to help them but not before challenging Riou in Chinchirorin. After Riou won, Tai Ho kept his word and provided his services across the lake and helped them reach South Window safely.

Later, Riou was in need of skilled seamen, and Tai Ho joined to help pilot a ship to Two River. Tai Ho remained with the group until the end of the war.

Role in the Game[]

Tai Ho joins Tir in Kaku after beating him at Chinchirorin before going to explore Toran Castle.

Tai Ho is in a required party early on, and is required for a battle with pirates to recruit them later in the game. He's a decent attacker but isn't very good with magic, so an enhancement rune like a Hazy Rune or Killer Rune are recommended.

Due to his weak magic abilities, an effect rune would be recommended to specialize Tai Ho for physical attacks, like the Hazy Rune or the Killer Rune.
