Suo

Suo is a Samurai Einherjar in Valkyrie Profile. A samurai from Wakoku, Suo seems to have had a rather unsavoury past, whether as a mercenary, a vigilante or simply a cruel warrior. However, joining the Hundred Demons samurai troupe seems to have channelled his violence into a greater purpose and given him an ideal of justice to fight for. The troupe eventually led an assault on Hai-Lan. The latter temporarily had the upper hand thanks to their song-maiden, Shiho, whose voice inspired strength and bravery in the warriors. Shiho, who was born blind, had never fully realized the effect of her songs, but before that battle, a widow confronted her and asked her how many men had died because of her. This affected her deeply, and, as Hai-Lan's victory seemed guaranteed, she stopped singing, reluctant to cause any more bloodshed. Panic spread through the troops, but despite her superiors' threats and blows, Shiho refused to sing again. The Hai-Lan army was defeated, and she was left for dead.
