7) Who is the official Flame Champion among the three possible candidates?
Answer: It has to be Hugo for some obvious reasons. Firstly, Hugo is a young kid who wears red clothes just like all Suikoden protagonists. Secondly, he is a native from Grasslands just like the former Flame Champion before him. Thirdly, he lost Lulu during the war. All Suikoden protagonists lost someone dear to them such as a mentor, best friend or family members. Lastly, Geddoe already bears the True Lightning Rune, while Chris' father is the former bearer of the True Water Rune. Thus, making his daughter the perfect candidate to replace him.
In the manga adaptation of Suikoden III, it is also Hugo who became the Flame Champion.

Not much is known about him aside from the fact that he has a wife named Mary and a son named Thomas back in Zexen Confederacy.
11) Since Gilbert's mercenary group is part of the Allied Army, does this mean Ace also fought during the Dunan Unification War?
Answer: It was never been confirmed if Ace participated in the Dunan Unification War. Rumors has it that such is the case indeed. If so, he must be on his prime during those years, since he is starting to feel his age during the Second Fire Bringer War.
