Suikoden V

References

Many of the character names in Suikoden V are taken from ancient Iranian mythology. For example, Arshtat is the goddess of justice; Bahram is a legendary emperor; Zahhak is an evil dragon who was slayed by the hero Feridun - which sounds very similar to Ferid, the name of the hero's father. There aren't any direct references to actual Iranian myths, and the names do not necessarily reflect the personalities of the prototypes.
