Hervey has a really goofy name. I know that's not what you're used to in writeups, but arguing against faceless Suikoden scrubs means you have to aim low. Vinsfeld, on the other hand, is a perfectly respectable terrorist...well, maybe not, but he can do some damage. Hervey has some fire, but barely enough to give Vinny a sunburn. And the owner of Pure Ideals will have an easy time batting away Hervey's pathetic physicals. And, of course, Hervey takes hits like wet tissue paper. Vinsfeld isn't well known for absorbing punishing blows, either, but he at least beats out Suikoden Character #1244365! So in this race to the top of Light, Vinsfeld will leave Hervey in the dust, and hopefully continue his quest for Glory in Week 3!
