'''Humphrey Mintz''' (ハンフリー・ミンツ, ''Hanfurī Mintsu'') is a supporting character in [[Suikoden]] and [[Suikoden II]] who also appears in [[Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2]]. Humphrey is a skilled but taciturn swordsman.
 
==History==
===Imperial Service===
Humphrey Mintz was one of the most renowned [[centurion]]s of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. He was known as "Broadsword Humphrey" for his wide range with his large sword, which measured over one meter long.
 
His rank of centurion was the highest position achievable by ordinary soldiers of the Empire. He was offered promotion to the officer class by [[Kasim Hazil]] on multiple occasions but turned it down each time. In the past, he served directly under the corrupt [[Gillan]].


==Biography==
Humphrey met and became friends with [[Joshua Levenheit]] when ordered to investigate a spate of [[dragon]] attacks. He would earn Joshua's respect and comradeship during their mission together, especially when Humphrey refrained from carrying orders to return the dragon corpse to Gillan, who was planning to use the remains to enhance his status and wealth.
===Suikoden===
 
{{quote| ...Yo! | Humphrey Mintz}}
During the [[War of Succession]], he fought for Emperor [[Barbarosa Rugner]] where he formed something of a rivalry with [[Geil Rugner]]'s general [[Kreutz]]. During this time, he firmly believed in Barbarosa.

[[File:Humphrey brings up his ties to Joshua.png|thumb|left|220px|Humphrey is a shameless name-dropper.]]
When he was ordered to participate in the [[Kalekka Incident]], Humphrey was furious and attacked his commander, becoming a fugitive. He would later cite the incident as the first time he had attacked someone out of anger.
 
Afterwards, Humphrey disappeared without a trace before meeting [[Flik]] and [[Odessa Silverberg]], becoming one of the earliest members of the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. He was always a quiet individual but became even more withdrawn following the events at [[Kalekka]].
 
When the hide-out at [[Lenankamp]] was attacked by Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers, Humphrey escaped to [[Kunan]] with Flik and [[Sanchez]] before making his way to [[Toran Castle]] with members of the displaced Liberation Army. There, they would merge their forces with the new Liberation Army under the command of [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]].
 
Humphrey served the Toran Liberation Army throughout the war, traveling to the [[Dragon Knight's Domain]] in order to help form an alliance with the [[Knights of the Dragon's Den]], as he was an old comrade of Joshua. After successfully waking the [[dragon|dragons]], Humphrey agreed to look after [[Futch]], the young Dragon Knight having lost his steed. Humphrey also invited his former adversary, [[Kreutz]], to join the Liberation Army.
 
Following the [[Battle at the Northern Checkpoint]], Humphrey attacked the [[Fortress of Rakan]] as a decoy before returning to [[Moravia]], where his reinforcements took care of the remaining troops stationed outside. Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Humphrey left the [[Toran Republic]] with Futch on a journey to find him a new dragon, at the request of his old friend Joshua.
 
===Travels with Futch===
{{quote| For you, Commander, I will gladly wield this sword again. | Humphrey Mintz}}


Humphrey Mintz is a skilled swordsman who was part of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]'s [[Hundred Man Battalion]]. Humphrey became one of the most renowned captains of the batallion<ref>"Why it's Humphrey, one of the most renowned Captains of the Imperial Army's Hundred Man Battalion." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but when he was ordered to participate in the [[Kalekka Incident]], Humphrey grew furious and attacked his commander, becoming a fugitive<ref>"I was one of the soldiers who attacked Kalekka. I have never been able to forget that incident. In my fury I attacked my own commander, and became a fugitive." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey disappeared without a trace afterwords<ref>"After that incident at Kalekka, you vanished without a trace." - Joshua Levenheit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Eventually Humphrey joined the [[Toran Liberation Army]] under [[Odessa Silverberg]].  
[[File:Humphrey prepares to smash the dragon egg.png|thumb|right|220px|A dragon pup is for life, not just for Winter Festival.]]Humphrey and Futch headed towards [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonia]] in order to research wild dragons but were slowed down by the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Staying in [[Highway Village]], Humphrey encountered [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]].


When the hide-out at [[Lenankamp]] was attacked by Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers, Humphrey managed to escape. Humphrey made his way to [[Toran Castle]] with members of displaced Toran Liberation Army<ref>"After Commander Tir left the castle, Humphrey and Sanchez arrived with survivors of the old Liberation Army." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey accepted [[Tir McDohl]] as a leader, noting, when [[Flik]] protested at the new Toran Liberation Army leader, that Tir was doing well<ref>"......... .........We need a leader. And Tir is doing well." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
When [[Kent]], a friend of Futch, disappeared at [[Mt. Rakutei]], Humphrey mounted a rescue party. Journeying with Futch and the hero to the mountains, the party saved Kent and found a dragon's egg which hatched into a baby dragon. Humphrey would be able to break through Futch's hesitation and fear of bonding with a new dragon by acting coldly.


Humphrey served the Toran Liberation Army throughout the war, travelling to [[Goya]] in order to help form an alliance with the [[Dragon Knights]]. When [[Joshua Levenheit]] met Humphrey, he expressed concern for Humphrey, as he had been quite worried after Humphrey had disappeared<ref>"I was so worried about you. After that incident at Kalekka, you vanished without a trace." - Joshua Levenheit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey brushed this concern off, saying that he had his reasons for disappearing and introduced Tir to Joshua<ref>"I had my reasons. Joshua, this is Commander Tir of the Liberation Army." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. As the Toran Liberation Army drew up  an alliance with the Dragon Knights, Joshua Levenheit claimed that they would be working together once more, against a different enemy<ref>"It looks like we'll be fighting together again, side by side. But against a different enemy this time." - Joshua Levenheit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Joshua asked Humphrey to look after [[Futch]], a young former Dragon Knight who had lost his dragon and thus could no longer stay in Goya, as Joshua would not need to worry about Futch if Humphrey was with him<ref>"Humphrey, will you take Futch with you? I won't have to worry about him if he's with you." - Joshua Levenheit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey agreed to do so<ref>"...I understand." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, and Futch thanked him<ref>"Thank you, sir." - Futch ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Humphrey also invited his former adversary, [[Kreutz]], to join the Toran Liberation Army, to which Kreutz accepted<ref>"You were Geil Rugner's greatest general. You could be a great help. Please join us." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
Moving to strike down the dragon so it would not grow into a feral, wild adult, Humphrey would encourage Futch's intercession. Their journey's purpose unexpectedly fulfilled, Humphrey and Futch agreed to join the New State Army in order to repay the hero's help.


Following the [[Battle at the Northern Checkpoint]], Humphrey was placed in charge of a battalion of men by [[Mathiu Silverberg]], who ordered Humphrey to attack the [[Fortress of Rakan]]<ref>"Sir Humphrey, I'll assign another battalion to you. Take the Fortress of Rakan." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Acting as  a decoy, Humphrey Mintz's attack on the Fortress of Rakan forced Kasim Hazil to commit troops there, making it easier for the Toran Liberation Army to enter [[Moravia]]. After acting as a decoy, Humphrey and [[Lepant]] returned to Moravia, where their reinforcements took care of the remaining troops stationed outside<ref>"Master Mathiu, are you all right? We've pretty much taken care of business outside." - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
[[File:Humphrey duels a wild dragon.jpg|thumb|left|220px|I think he just really wants to kill a dragon, honestly.]]After bringing his formidable sword-arm to bear during the Dunan Unification War, Humphrey continued on a journey towards [[Crystal Valley]] with Futch in order to research more information about [[Bright]], the mysterious baby dragon they had found.


After the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Humphrey helped Flik pursue the survivors of the Toran Liberation Army's attack<ref>"Tir, Humphrey and I are going to pursue the survivors!" - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Following the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Humphrey remained a man of few words, simply proclaiming that the [[Gate Rune War]] was over<ref>"...it's over." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
During the journey, they would stop at [[Marid Village]] in Harmonia, encountering a ferocious black dragon. Humphrey would face the dragon alongside Futch and [[Nash Latkje]]. Fighting without fear, he would play a vital role in protecting the village and afterwards would continue his journey with Futch.


Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Humphrey left the [[Toran Republic]] along with Futch on a journey<ref>"Leaves Toran Republic with Futch." - Humphrey Mintz's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
His whereabouts thereafter are unknown, though he had planned to escort Futch back to the [[Toran Republic]] to have him reinstated as a Dragon Knight before relaxing in Toran for a time. It is known that Humphrey eventually passed his sword on to [[Futch]] as the Dragon Knight was seen wielding it during the [[War of the Champions]].


==Personality and Traits==
==Personality and Traits==
A silent and taciturn man, Humphrey rarely said anything that was not needed; this caused Mathiu Silverberg some confusion when Humphrey simply said "Uh huh" in response to Mathiu's question as to whether the Toran Liberation Army's meeting with the Dragon Knights was a success<ref>"Uh huh." - Humphrey Mintz<br>".........? Did you manage to secure an alliance?" - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Flik told Mathiu that he should not worry about Humphrey's silent nature and that Humphrey could just be a little friendlier to others<ref>"Don't worry, Medical Officer. It's just that Humphrey could be a little friendlier to others." - Flik ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
A taciturn man, Humphrey's silence caused some confusion in others, and some considered him a loner or even unfriendly. But for the most part, Humphrey's silence was not perceived as cold, but rather as shyness.
 
As such, he was not a strong socializer. Though it was also suggested that Humphrey was more open before the [[Kalekka Incident]], he was never a paticularly gregarious man.
 
Despite his silent nature, Humphrey would occasionally open up to others. Before the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Humphrey told [[Mathiu Silverberg]] how he had attacked his commanding officer during the Kalekka Incident; it had been the first time, and, he hoped, the last time, he had slain someone out of sheer hatred. Humphrey also enjoyed a long (albeit one sided) talk with [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the hero]] and paid for the young man's room in gratitude.
 
Humphrey was also a practical man. Despite his shock at hearing of the death of [[Odessa Silverberg]], he immediately recognized that McDohl would be able to succeed Odessa as a leader. When Humphrey and [[Futch]] discovered [[Bright]], Humphrey was prepared to destroy Bright should Futch fail to accept him, despite the rarity of the creature.

And I hope... that it was the last time." - Humphrey Mintz ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Mathiu told Humphrey that this was no time to be distressed, as they had a job to do; such thoughts could wait until the end of the Toran Liberation War<ref>"Humphrey, this is no time to be distressed. We have a job to do. Once the war is over..." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Befitting his logical nature, Humphrey was also unafraid to ask former adversaries for aid; during the [[Gate Rune War]], Humphrey asked [[Kreutz]] to join the [[Toran Liberation Army]], immediately noticing that Kreutz would be of great help to the force. Despite his practicality, Humphrey could also be empathetic, and comforted Futch over [[Black]]'s death.

Humphrey Mintz (ハンフリー・ミンツ, Hanfurī Mintsu) is a supporting character in Suikoden and Suikoden II who also appears in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2. Humphrey is a skilled but taciturn swordsman.

History

Imperial Service

Humphrey Mintz was one of the most renowned centurions of the Scarlet Moon Empire. He was known as "Broadsword Humphrey" for his wide range with his large sword, which measured over one meter long.

His rank of centurion was the highest position achievable by ordinary soldiers of the Empire. He was offered promotion to the officer class by Kasim Hazil on multiple occasions but turned it down each time. In the past, he served directly under the corrupt Gillan.

Humphrey met and became friends with Joshua Levenheit when ordered to investigate a spate of dragon attacks. He would earn Joshua's respect and comradeship during their mission together, especially when Humphrey refrained from carrying orders to return the dragon corpse to Gillan, who was planning to use the remains to enhance his status and wealth.

During the War of Succession, he fought for Emperor Barbarosa Rugner where he formed something of a rivalry with Geil Rugner's general Kreutz. During this time, he firmly believed in Barbarosa.

Liberation Army

...Yo.

—  Humphrey Mintz
Humphrey is a shameless name-dropper.

When he was ordered to participate in the Kalekka Incident, Humphrey was furious and attacked his commander, becoming a fugitive. He would later cite the incident as the first time he had attacked someone out of anger.

Afterwards, Humphrey disappeared without a trace before meeting Flik and Odessa Silverberg, becoming one of the earliest members of the Toran Liberation Army. He was always a quiet individual but became even more withdrawn following the events at Kalekka.

When the hide-out at Lenankamp was attacked by Scarlet Moon Empire soldiers, Humphrey escaped to Kunan with Flik and Sanchez before making his way to Toran Castle with members of the displaced Liberation Army. There, they would merge their forces with the new Liberation Army under the command of McDohl.

Humphrey served the Toran Liberation Army throughout the war, traveling to the Dragon Knight's Domain in order to help form an alliance with the Knights of the Dragon's Den, as he was an old comrade of Joshua. After successfully waking the dragons, Humphrey agreed to look after Futch, the young Dragon Knight having lost his steed. Humphrey also invited his former adversary, Kreutz, to join the Liberation Army.

Following the Battle at the Northern Checkpoint, Humphrey attacked the Fortress of Rakan as a decoy before returning to Moravia, where his reinforcements took care of the remaining troops stationed outside. Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Humphrey left the Toran Republic with Futch on a journey to find him a new dragon, at the request of his old friend Joshua.

Travels with Futch

For you, Commander, I will gladly wield this sword again.

—  Humphrey Mintz
A dragon pup is for life, not just for Winter Festival.

Humphrey and Futch headed towards Harmonia in order to research wild dragons but were slowed down by the Dunan Unification War. Staying in Highway Village, Humphrey encountered the leader of the New State Army.

When Kent, a friend of Futch, disappeared at Mt. Rakutei, Humphrey mounted a rescue party. Journeying with Futch and the hero to the mountains, the party saved Kent and found a dragon's egg which hatched into a baby dragon. Humphrey would be able to break through Futch's hesitation and fear of bonding with a new dragon by acting coldly.

Moving to strike down the dragon so it would not grow into a feral, wild adult, Humphrey would encourage Futch's intercession. Their journey's purpose unexpectedly fulfilled, Humphrey and Futch agreed to join the New State Army in order to repay the hero's help.

I think he just really wants to kill a dragon, honestly.

After bringing his formidable sword-arm to bear during the Dunan Unification War, Humphrey continued on a journey towards Crystal Valley with Futch in order to research more information about Bright, the mysterious baby dragon they had found.

During the journey, they would stop at Marid Village in Harmonia, encountering a ferocious black dragon. Humphrey would face the dragon alongside Futch and Nash Latkje. Fighting without fear, he would play a vital role in protecting the village and afterwards would continue his journey with Futch.

His whereabouts thereafter are unknown, though he had planned to escort Futch back to the Toran Republic to have him reinstated as a Dragon Knight before relaxing in Toran for a time. It is known that Humphrey eventually passed his sword on to Futch as the Dragon Knight was seen wielding it during the War of the Champions.

Personality and Traits

A taciturn man, Humphrey's silence caused some confusion in others, and some considered him a loner or even unfriendly. But for the most part, Humphrey's silence was not perceived as cold, but rather as shyness.

As such, he was not a strong socializer. Though it was also suggested that Humphrey was more open before the Kalekka Incident, he was never a paticularly gregarious man.

Despite his silent nature, Humphrey would occasionally open up to others. Before the Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade, Humphrey told Mathiu Silverberg how he had attacked his commanding officer during the Kalekka Incident; it had been the first time, and, he hoped, the last time, he had slain someone out of sheer hatred. Humphrey also enjoyed a long (albeit one sided) talk with the hero and paid for the young man's room in gratitude.

Humphrey was also a practical man. Despite his shock at hearing of the death of Odessa Silverberg, he immediately recognized that McDohl would be able to succeed Odessa as a leader. When Humphrey and Futch discovered Bright, Humphrey was prepared to destroy Bright should Futch fail to accept him, despite the rarity of the creature.
