Tir McDohl is the main character and Tenkai Star of the very first Suikoden. He is a powerful attacker, as well as a fair magic user. Though not as a Star of Destiny, Tir appears in Suikoden II as a playable character "McDohl" if data was transferred over from Suikoden.

[edit] Name

His first name can be selected by the player, up to 8 characters in length. McDohl's given name, according to the novelizations, is Tir, but this is not recognized by Konami as an official name.

[edit] Story

Spoiler Notice: The following may contain plot/storyline detail.

[edit] Gate Rune Wars (Suikoden)

He is the son of Teo McDohl and was the leader of the Toran Liberation Army after the death of the original leader, Odessa Silverberg.

[edit] Post-Gate Rune Wars

After the Toran Liberation Army defeated the Scarlet Moon Empire, McDohl left without taking a position of leadership within the newly formed Toran Republic. He has been travelling with his servant, Gremio. He was briefly involved with the Dunan Unification War as well.

[edit] Combat

As Tir is a required member of the party at all times, it helps that he's a well balanced character. His attack rating raises well and he gains a moderate magician's power in rune spells. He has an effective Unite with his Bo staff instructor Kai that strikes all enemies, making for an effective 2 man team for most missions.

[edit] Attached Runes

Tir obtains the Soul Eater when Ted transfers the rune over to him.

[edit] Recommended Runes

As the Soul Eater cannot be removed, obviously it is the recommended rune. Its attacks are fairly effective, though the instant death attacks won't work on bosses.

[edit] Recruiting McDohl

Location: Banner Village & Gregminster
After the defeat of Luca Blight, Tir can be seen in Banner Village. Complete the quest and he will be available to join the party in his house in Gregminster. NOTE: He will not appear in the member select screen, a trip to Gregminster needs to be taken each time in order to add him to the party.

[edit] Combat

Tir McDohl is a well balanced fighter and mage, and his Soul Eater rune is well worth the trip to Gregminster to recruit him for missions. He has a Unite with Riou that mimics his Suikoden Unite attack with Kai, hitting all enemies on screen.

[edit] Attached Runes

McDohl comes attached with the Soul Eater Rune

[edit] Recommended Runes

While the Soul Eater permanently takes up 1 slot, McDohl can effectively use another magic rune or ability enhancing runes. There are no other runes that he is singularly fitted to, but the open rune slots leaves room for customization.
