Foryn (フォリン, Forin) is a character who appears in Genso Suikoden Short Story Collection 2.
History
Foryn was a humble young man in the service of a child named Roy, who was searching for his mother, Aesia.
He had narrow eyes, so much so that Viktor thought there wasn't much difference whether they were opened or closed. He used to be a skilled swordsman who could easily handle a broadsword with one hand, but after an unspecified incident he decided to forsake the life of a swordsman, unwilling to hurt anyone.
Because of this, he was unable to prevent Aesia's kidnapping by Neclord. When Roy left to find his mother, Foryn followed to bring him home but found himself accompanying the young master instead. When he found Roy arguing with Viktor about the Celestial Sword, he mistook Viktor for a vampire and tried to repel him with garlic and water, to no effect. He even tried to offer his neck to Viktor in exchange for Roy's life.
That night, Foryn would share Roy's story with Viktor and the Celestial Sword before noticing Roy had wandered off. He would find his young charge having come across his mother in the Banner Forest.
In order to protect Roy from Aesia, who had been turned into a vampire by Neclord, he would end up using the sword he had forsaken wielding. Although Foryn couldn't defeat her, his distraction allowed Viktor to destroy Aesia with the Celestial Sword.
Afterwards, the Celestial Sword would tell Foryn that he was right that wielding a sword was not always right but that there were equally times where it was wrong not to fight.
