Hey guys, I just started replaying Suikoden 3 last night and was wondering what the Flame Champion's canon name is, if he has one? I've searched this site for similar topics regarding this, but was unsuccessful.
Not using canon names bothers me immensely, so any help would be greatly appreciated haha.

There is no canon name for the Flame Champion.

here's one choice for a canon-ish name, found recently by RAtelevandalist from datamining

Then by the same token the canon-ish name for McDohl is Genso in Japanese and Suikoden in English while Riou is Main Character in Japanese and Suikoden in English since that's what the RAM is set to in Suikoden II before you load and write data.
Besides, I would not trust whatever the English version of Suikoden III says about anything, the localizer made a lot of stuff up.

Didn't the English localization of Suikoden III just make up a rune out of nowhere?

Any reason as to why he didn't have a canon name?

Iirc Suikoden III was the only of the main games to never receive a novelization, where all of the "canon" names come from. The Suikoden III manga did not mention any name, but then again, the names from the Suikoden, II, or V mangas also never caught on, so I don't know if that would have changed anything.

I see... interesting. Thanks for the info. I ended up naming him Ash, lol. Not the most creative name, but it'll suffice.

Re: Flame Champion Canon Name?
Quite fitting, considering his rune.
