The Tenbi Star, also known as the Lowly Star, is one of the 108 Stars of Destiny. Tenbi stars tend to be strong fighters, or strong mages. The original Tenbi Star, from the novel Water Margin, was Shi Jin, also known as Nine Tattooed Dragons. He has almost nothing in common with his counterparts from the games, being the son of a wealthy farmer who fell in with the Liangshan outlaws because of his love of fighting and gallantry. There are, however, some small parallels between the early parts of Shi Jin's story and the portion of Suikoden where the heroes return to Rockland to free the bandits Varkas and Sydonia they had previously captured; both help to set the tone that bandits and those who abet them are not necessarily villains.
