Franchise: Suikoden

While many characters appear in multiple games within the series, Viki and Jeane are the only 2 characters to appear in all main Suikoden games.

Throughout the first three installments, the characters are given a scene in which they must use a fake name. Schtolteheim Reinbach III is an option for a name in all of the games; Viktor uses it in Suikoden 1, the player can give the name to Flik in Suikoden II, and Chris can use it in Suikoden III.

Schtolteheim Reinbach III appears as a character in the fourth installment, which is a prequel to the other games, based around 150 years prior to the events of these games. This would suggest that his name is notable throughout history for some reason.

Lorelai has used a different type of weapon in every appearance she has made in the series. She uses a bow in the first Suikoden game, a scythe in Suikoden II, and a whip in Suikoden V. This suggests that she is a strong, well rounded fighter. Her recruitment policy usually requires a high level, further illustrating her own skill.

In the first Suikoden, Sheena uses a standard rapier for his weapon. However, in Suikoden II, he takes on his the sword of his father, Lepant, the Kirinji, Kirinji 2, and ultimately Kirinji 3.
