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.
