Clift (クリフト; Kurifuto), also known as Clift the Crusader (聖戦士クリフト; Seisenshi Kurifuto), is a character mentioned in Suikoden and Suikoden II.
Profile[]
Clift is the founder of Warriors' Village, in the Lorimar region of Toran (SY 20). Clift successfully defended Lorimar against the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia during what is called the Final Battle. This led to a truce between Clift and Hikusaak, which granted the Lorimar region autonomy.
The current chief of the Warriors' Village, Zorak, and his daughter, Tengaar, can trace their ancestry directly to Clift. A process that Zorak is most enthusiastic to do for any passersby.
He was known even outside of Toran. The chief of the Kobold Village had heard of him and thus assisted Tengaar in planning and carrying out the Test of the Unicorn for Hix.
Trivia[]
- His name was localized as Klift in Suikoden II.
- His nickname is 聖戦士 which translates to Holy Warrior or soldier-saint. It is also used for jihadist. Generally, Crusader, as thought of in the Christian sense, uses a different kanji (十字軍).
