It was during the [[Gate Rune War]] that Jabba's expertise was truly put to the test.

Jabba is an appraiser from [[Rikon]] who claimed the ability to identify any antique<ref>"If you can find anything I can't appraise, I'll do anything you ask." - Jabba ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, although he had failed once in the past<ref>"That Jabba, he's always saying he can appraise anything. But I know of one instance, years ago, when he failed." - Villager ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

Jabba, an esteemed expert appraiser, operated an appraisal store located in the quaint town of Rikon. Known for his unwavering confidence in his own discerning eye, Jabba boasted the ability to appraise virtually any item with ease, showcasing his profound expertise in dating and placing antiques.

Throughout his illustrious career, Jabba encountered countless artifacts, leaving no doubt about his vast experience in the field of appraisal.

However, there remained one elusive object from his past that had managed to defy his classification: the Nameless Urn.

It was during the Gate Rune War that Jabba's expertise was truly put to the test. When McDohl presented him with the enigmatic Nameless Urn, even the seasoned appraiser had to acknowledge defeat. True to his word, Jabba agreed to join the ranks of the Toran Liberation Army.

Post-war, Jabba's remarkable talents did not go unnoticed. His unique eye for appraisal earned him a position of great responsibility within the newly established Toran Republic. He was entrusted with the crucial task of financial management as treasurer, ensuring the prosperity and stability of the budding nation.

By the year 475, after years of dedicated service to the Toran Republic, Jabba chose to retire from his post, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and wisdom in the world of antiquities and finance.
