Biography
"He was not impressed by my camera technique, but I believe that he does appreciate the person that I am."

- Oleg

Oleg was an inventor who created a box able to capture an image of whatever it was pointed at. He was also the first person to create and use a video camera in the Island Nations. As an inventor, he was peerless but the inability of others to comprehend his work would often have him regarded simply as an eccentric.

During the Island Liberation War, Lino En Kuldes wished for an audience with Oleg. The same night he was met at Nay Island, his camera would be coincidentally pointed at Iluya Island during its destruction by the giant rune cannon, capturing the moment. Bringing his footage to Obel, Oleg wished to sell his invention and Lino promised him eventual compensation in exchange for his continued service during the war.

Following the war, Oleg would continue to attempt to sell his inventions but found few buyers as no-one would take him seriously.

Trivia

 * The character design of Oleg is a small tribute to a character of the same from another Kawano Junko-produced game; Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in North America). That Oleg is a movie producer while Suikoden IV's Oleg invents the video camera.

Confessions
'You have done well by coming here. In this room, you may confess what is in your heart and accept proper judgement.'

Hrmm...Somehow, that sounds a bit scary...

Would you secretly inform me about anyone onboard this ship who you think is causing problems?

On this ship? I would say, that kind of Obel...He's a bit of a cheapskate. No, really...

Then, would you tell me what you think of Lazlo?

He seems to have understood my research. Such people make me happy, yes.

Finally, quietly confess the things you wish to atone for, or all the things that you are thankful for.

Let me think...I would be thankful if this conflict settles down soon.

Forgiven

So, I've...been forgiven? Whew...Then, please excuse me.

Punished

Whoa!! Wh-What the heck is this?!
