this seems to have relevence here:

i was reading up on some of the names of the main characters and found some interesting things. the following is quoted from wikipedia.com:

Azhi Dahaka (Avestan Great Snake) is a demonic figure in the texts and mythology of Zoroastrian Persia, where he is one of the subordinates of Angra Mainyu. Alternate names include Azi Dahak, Dahaka, Dahak.

Azhi Dahaka is described as a three-headed, dragon-like monster. He is said to have a thousand senses, and to bleed snakes, scorpions, and other venomous creatures. He also is said to bring or control storms and disease. This dragon was defeated by the hero Thraetaona or Feridun, but could not be killed; instead, he was imprisoned by being chained to the mountain Damavand.

It is further prophesized that Azhi Dahaka will break free of this prison as part of the Zoroastrian apocalypse, and will kill one-third of humanity before finally being slain by Keresaspa.

In the Shahnameh written around 1000 AD, Azhi Dahaka had a human form named Zahak or Zohak.

i think i will name my prince a variation of the name Keresaspa. i'd like to keep with the theme of persian influence.

Zahak was also called "Zohak" in the Zoroastrian myth. And Suikoden V is meant to have mythology and other such things from the entire middle east, not just Zoroastrian mythology and culture. The clothing is very Egyptian, and Jeane's outfit is an arabic bellydancer. The "Crimson Bird Clan" is very much like Egyptian mythology with the phoenix, and the various rivers reminds me of Mesopotamian history, because of the tigris and euphrates rivers. There's a lot of Arabic ties in this game.

Dahak... sounds like the scary god from another world in Hercules and Xena TV shows..

Now, back to Morgan:

I have a pretty strong hunch that the "Hero's Double?"

from the character list is Morgan, as his hairstyle is pretty similiar and he seems young enough. Also, he is seen with another guy who also reminds me of a Suikoden I character, Kai (which might also be possible, as nothing else of his wherabouts are known other than when he has been with McDohl).

Heh. With everybody speculating on who is secretly Morgan in this game, Pesmerga's going to get jealous.

Huh...that's funny...I always thought the Hero's double was a girl, due to the bright pink clothing s/he wears in the trailer...

No Offence Ladies but Don't Forget FAlena is Dominated by WOMEN so they are probably big on cosemetics and Make-up. XD So for all we know the double may be Morgan. For all we know Windy is the true power behind this we barely know everything but the fact that Georg and Killey supposedly kill the Queen. and Jeane and Viki are back and Viki is ditzy like usual and THe place is taking place in Falena and even at that is may be Farlena the way it was pronounced in the movie

Gonna hafta disagree with Morgan being the best. He can be a favorite and there's no way to argue against who someone says is their favorite... but how Suikoden 3 handled characters "attacking"... Emily (and to a lesser extent, Juan) far outclass any other martial artist characters in terms of damage. When 4 went back to "one char/one attack" I was like, this game is gonna be damned boring... turns out it was. And any offense to Suikoden 4 was implied... I *BEEP* hate that game. Anyway, yeah.

Guess Suikoden II was equally boring for you then, due to the "one char/one attack" system that they had back then, huh.

No surprise to me. While the improvement in physical attacks was a welcome change in Suikoden III, the magical side suffered so much more. It's hilarious how the game that had the most amount of usable true runes in the series would be cursed with such limitations.
