Peppor and Solt form the comical shaker brothers, the buffoons of the [[Acacia Dragoons]] who pursued [[Serge]] often and usually effected their own defeat through bungling. Their origin unclear, they became quirky men early on; Solt preferrably preferred to compound his sentences with superfluously superfluous adverbs, while Peppor preferred to replace his verbs with shake. Solt was also tall and lanky, while Peppor short and stout. The two found friendship in the Dragoons, and accompanied the Devas on expeditions. They were present at the [[Isle of the Damned]] in [[Another World]] when [[Karsh]] killed [[Dario]] due to the latter's corruption by the demonic [[Masamune]]; they suspected Karsh did it out of spite for Dario's engagement with Riddel. Later, they backed up Karsh in [[1020 A.D.]] on the trip down to [[Cape Howl]] to apprehend [[Serge]]; they were soon defeated and fled back to the manor with the angry Deva. During their battles, they often tried to use expensive and powerful [[Elements]] only to fail somehow (for instance, they tried to use a summon when the field effect was not completely yellow). Depending on game events from that point, they could have faced Serge and [[Pierre]] at the gate of Viper Manor or [[Nikki]] and Serge in [[Shadow Forest]]. If the former, they brought along a beast of a man named [[Ketchop]] with them. Ketchop ended up flinging the two around as his weapons. After the infiltration of the manor, they took up a defensive position at [[Mount Pyre]], and attempted to defeat Serge there; however, Solt accidentally trapped Peppor's Freefall, causing Peppor to ragingly attack Solt.

Peppor and Solt form the comical shaker brothers, the buffoons of the Acacia Dragoons who pursued Serge often and usually bungle their own efforts. Their origin unclear, they became quirky men early on; Solt preferrably preferred to compound his sentences with superfluously superfluous adverbs, while Peppor preferred to replace his verbs with shake. Solt was also tall and lanky, while Peppor short and stout. The two found friendship in the Dragoons, and accompanied the Devas on expeditions. They were present at the Isle of the Damned in Another World when Karsh killed Dario due to the latter's corruption by the demonic Masamune; they suspected Karsh did it out of spite for Dario's engagement with Riddel. Later, they backed up Karsh in 1020 A.D. on the trip down to Cape Howl to apprehend Serge; they were soon defeated and fled back to the manor with the angry Deva. During their battles, they often tried to use expensive and powerful Elements only to fail somehow (for instance, they tried to use a summon when the field effect was not completely yellow). Depending on game events from that point, they could have faced Serge and Pierre at the gate of Viper Manor or Nikki and Serge in Shadow Forest. If the former, they brought along a beast of a man named Ketchop with them. Ketchop ended up flinging the two around as his weapons. After the infiltration of the manor, they took up a defensive position at Mount Pyre, and attempted to defeat Serge there; however, Solt accidentally trapped Peppor's Freefall, causing Peppor to ragingly attack Solt.
