Main characters

Riou6 fan favorites
External profile
He is the adopted son of Genkaku, and step brother to Nanami. As a young boy he was made fun of because he was an orphan, and spent all of his time with Nanami and his best friend, Jowy. As they reached their teens, he and Jowy joined the Unicorn Brigade of the Highland Army; where his skill in martial arts, taught to him by Genkaku, made him a formidable fighter. After the Highland Army massacred the Unicorn Brigade and blamed it on Jowston's Army, he escaped and joined Viktor's mercenaries. Eventually, he ended up becoming the leader of the Dunan Unification movement, and led them to victory. After the Dunan Unification War, he disappeared along with the former Highland King, Jowy Blight (Atreides) and his sister, Nanami. He wears a circlet and shoulder pads that were given to him as a young boy by Genkaku, and fights with tonfar. He doesn't have an official name in the original game. His name is Riou in 2000 light novel adaptation, Tao in the 2009 manga adaptation, and Riliu in the 2026 anime adaptation. (Source: Suikosource)
Jowy Atreides4 fan favorites
External profile
Jowy was not born to either the Atreides or Blight families. His mother, Rosa, later married Marcel Atreides and he was brought into the wealthy Highland aristocratic Atreides family. He was badly treated by his stepfather and stepbrother, and most of his peers disliked him because his family was very rich, so he only found companionship in his best friends Riou and Nanami. He and Riou joined the Highland Army's Unicorn Brigade. However, he escaped to Jowston after the Unicorn Brigade was massacred by Luca Blight. He decided to destroy Highland from within after witnessing the power of Luca--and thus he murdered Anabelle in order to win Luca's trust. Slowly but surely Jowy gained power within Highland, and because of the marriage with Jillia, this became a certainty. However, after the death of Luca, the effect of the Black Sword rune started to rob Jowy of his life as he constantly needed that power to keep the Beast Rune at bay. In the end his army is defeated, and he fled L'Renouille without a word. After that he travels the world with Nanami and Riou. (Source: Suikosource)
Nanami4 fan favorites
External profile
Nanami is the step-sister of Riou and adopted daughter of Genkaku. As a young girl she mainly played with her brother and Jowy, and really nobody else, so she became an outcast along with the other two. She is an adept user of the three-piece-rod and her agility in battle is rarely bested. Following Genkaku's death, she tried hard to re-establish his dojo, but this did not work, which resulted in Riou's decision to join the military. Upon Riou's return, she was imprisoned along with him, but escaped and joined Viktor's Mercenaries. Since then, she was always by Riou's side as his protector, but after Riou accepted his role as the leader of the Unification Army, she began to wonder why her brother must be the leader. Following that point, she tried to convince Riou to quit fighting and run away many times, but Riou kept on fighting. Eventually, she decided to simply let Riou fight out his war, but secretly she was hurt by the fact that her brother had to fight against their childhood friend, Jowy Atreides. During the siege on Rockaxe, Nanami was heavily injured by an arrow shot from Gorudo's Knights. She was thought to have died shortly, but this was her ploy to get away from the war. She was tired of having to watch her brother suffer and she didn't want to fight against Jowy. Thus, she stayed in Kyaro until the end of the war. After the war, she travels with Riou and Jowy.
