Bowie

Art by Martin Griffiths and Gina Hart

Bowie is a resident of Granseal Island and is the current leader of the Shining Force. Bowie's grandfather, Maximillian, was the previous leader.

History[]

Bowie lived in peace on Granseal Island, regularly sparring with his friend Taya, although his prowess with a wooden sword was relatively low. One day, a plane landed in the centre of town and a robot named Zynk emerged from it, asking to see Max. Bowie took the robot there and learned of the Shining Force and his grandfather's role in it, before being named the new leader to stop the Zeonites from rescuing Zeon. He also took hold of Max's sword and was forced to use it when repelling Baron Kadavaar and his golem, but struggled to lift it and was easilt beaten. To save his life and to ensure the success of the quest, Maximillian teleported Bowie and the others outside.

The next stop for the Shining Force was Hassan, where Bowie was reluctant to find help in that "dump". He was frustrated when an arrogant Chester tore through their ranks and raised his sword against the centaur, but was easily beaten once again. Instead, Bowie fought back by grabbing hold of Chester's lance, until the struggle was broken up by the spirit of Max. United, the team headed towards Ribble, but Bowie failed to support his team, struggling to lift his sword for the third time. He attempted to make amends in the caves, choosing a lone Zeonite as his target. Unfortunately, the man carried a gun and shot Bowie in desperation, fatally wounding him. The ghost of Max emerged from his sword and used his magic to not only revive Bowie, but gave him extra strength and new powers. This newfound life enabled Bowie to overpower Kadavaar in a fair sword fight and was even able to teleport the Shining Force to the Ancient Tower. Once there, Bowie used his sword to open the gateway to the abyss and helped push a nuclear bomb inside.
