There are plenty of characters in the Suikoden series that players simply adore, like the subject of my previous character analysis, Odessa Silverberg. But, there are also plenty of characters that are just plain hated, for a variety of reasons. Some of them are hated because it takes too much work to recruit them, only for the character him/herself to be mediocre at best. Others are hated because their voice acting is horrid, or their design is uninteresting, or they have zero personality. But today's character is not like that. He's hated for a different reason: his personality. This character is called Snowe Vingerhut.
Look at him. That's some sweet armor he's got there, isn't it? The fact that it didn't come with a helmet is beside the point, as none of the other main characters wear one either. That's plain stupid, but whatever. Acceptable breaks from reality.
We shall begin with a brief description of why Snowe is so hated. He's a rich daddy's boy who has never put in an ounce of work into his life, betrayed his best friend, sold out his country, and worked for the enemy as a pirate hunter while his people suffered. I know what you're thinking, "what an ass". It is little wonder why he's so hated. But, a question: does he deserve the hate? Who is Snowe, really? What makes him tick? That's what we're going to look into today.
