Name: Futch
Time of Warp: End of Suikoden III
Background: Futch was originally just an apprentice dragon knight when he met Tir. In their first meeting, he transported Tir and his friends to the Magician's Isle, to the home of Leknaat. Afterwards, Futch returned home where all the dragons had been poisoned by Milich, leaving only his own dragon, Black, and Milia's dragon, Rage. When Tir arrived with Liukan to concoct an antidote, Futch made a daring attempt with Black to seize one of the ingredients at Barbarossa's garden. Although he was able to escape, Leknaat shot Black out of the sky, killing the dragon. Afterwards he was vanished from the Dragon Knights, since he no longer had a dragon. He joined the Liberation Army afterwards and when the war ended, he travelled with Humphrey.

In their travels afterwards, they ended up in the Matilda Knightdom where the current war forced them to delay their travels. However, one day Futch's new friend Kent, travelled up Mt. Rakutei looking for dragons. Futch teamed up with Riou's friends to go look for Kent and ultimately he found Bright, a baby dragon hatchling. Although reluctant at first, he decided to take in Bright. Afterwards he joined Riou's army. After the war, he continued his travels with Humphrey and Bright, at one time even saving a Harmonian village. Afterwards he and Humphrey parted ways, where Futch was given Humphrey's sword. He then returned to the Dragon's Den in Toran and became a Dragon Knight again. During the Second Fire Bringer War, he travelled with Sharon, Milia's daughter, while investigating the war. After meeting with Hugo, he joined the war effort along with Sharon and Bright. He is currently a Fourth Rank Dragon Knight, though is due for promotion.

Personality: Futch is generally a serious person, a trait he picked up from travelling so long with Humphrey. From fighting in three major conflicts, he's gained a strong sense of justice and is careful about who he chooses to fight for. Although generally extremely patient, the energetic personalities of people like Sharon often tests his patience. He tends to spend most of his time with Bright, whom he often boasts about, although he still fondly remembers Black. He's also a decent actor, but not very interesting.

Runes: Lightning Rune 

First Person Journal Sample: 

A journal, huh? I'm not sure what Leknaat has to do with this, she's generally less personable than this, although her speech did come off a bit rehearsed to me. But worse yet, I can't find Sharon anywhere. I know that girl has a habit of running off, but Bright can't pick up her scent at all. If that was not strange enough, the innkeeper in this village doesn't remember registering a room to me, nor does he look that familiar to me either. I went ahead and paid again, though I must admit everything seems a bit... off.

If this book is connected to others, I am at a loss to as how. I'm no Rune Master, but there appears to be nothing special about this book. Maybe I should find Eike and see what he knows about it.

Third Person Writing Sample: 

Futch watched Bright as the dragon futilely attempted to find any track of Sharon. He finally called Bright back to him, gave him a bit of salted pork, and gave one last glance around the plains. Usually when she ran off, he had some sort of trail to go after. In the back of his mind, a little voice taunted him by saying that there would be no promotion for him now. He put that out of his mind though, since that was rather frivolous information while he was still deep in the Grasslands anyways. Finally he decided to head back to the inn and give the journal a closer inspection, as he somehow suspected it held a link to finding out what had happened.
