The main character's name in Suikoden 1 is Tir McDohl, a name commonly used by the community. Read on and check out the other names given to the hero and whether you can change your name mid-game!
The hero of Suikoden 1 does not have an official name, but the community widely refers to him as Tir McDohl, a name derived from the game’s novelization. While Konami has not officially acknowledged this name, official guidebooks often list him simply as Hero.
In the Japanese community, he is affectionately called Bocchan, meaning Young Master, a nod to his role as the son of a prestigious general.
The protagonist’s first name can only be set at the start of the game and cannot be changed later, so choose a name you’ll be happy with throughout your journey.
However, the surname McDohl is fixed, meaning your character’s full name will always be [Your Chosen Name] McDohl.
