Scarlet Axe (朱キ斧; Akaki Ono) is a group in Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century.
Description[]
Scarlet Axe is an underground organization operating behind the scenes with an anti-Holy Aionian Empire agenda. Some of the regional powers are supporting them and have been secretly expanding their influence. Since the leadership was overthrown three years ago, Aaron has held full authority, with Rochel, Zociom, and Zaveed in leadership roles.
One characteristic of this group is that the members wear a red glove on their right hand. Their name, the Scarlet Axe, is because they want to chop down the huge tree known as Aionia.
Notes[]
- The first kanji used in their name, 朱, is used for a number of shades of red: crimson, scarlet, vermilion, and cinnabar, to name a few. In the game it is read as あか (aka), which is generally how the kanji is pronounced for the colors of red, crimson, and scarlet. Sometimes it is pronounced as or あけ (ake) for the same colors. When the kanji is pronounced しゅ (shu) it generally refers to the colors vermilion, cinnabar, and other red-orange colors.
