Kinnison (キニスン, Kinisun) is a character in Suikoden II who also appears in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.1.
Kinnison is a hunter who joined the New Alliance Army in order to protect the forests from the fires of war.
Profile
Appearance

A handsome youth, Kinnison had short brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a red scarf and a loose yellow coat over a white ensemble. He wore brown boots and arm bracers.
His arrow satchel was slung over his right shoulder. As such, he held his bow with his left hand and drew and fired his arrow with his right.
Personality
Kinnison was a kind-hearted young man, who hunted for a living. Very quiet and reserved by nature, he was not overly fond of people or large gatherings. He was distressed enough by the destruction of the forest by war to put that aside and fight for the New Alliance Army.
He is able to communicate and converse with Shiro through their heart-to-heart bond. He cannot communicate with any other animal in such a way, however.
History
|
Kinnison was a hunter who lived in the forest surrounding Ryube Village along with his dog, Shiro. He had found the young Shiro by the dog's dying mother after a storm and had raised him ever since, the two becoming firm partners.
As a child, Kinnison lived with his mother, having no memories of his father. She passed when Kinnison was around 10 years old and he was taken in by his uncle, Ashino. This was when Kinnison first encountered the forest and learned how to hunt and track.

Seeing the compassion of the hero when he returned a baby bird to its nest, he would speak with him. He would cooperate with the New Alliance Army after seeing the damage the Highland Army caused to the forest he called home on their advance. His faithful hound would also accompany him.
Even as part of the New Alliance Army, Kinnison's calm and peaceful nature meant that even as an archer captain, he would never shoot any more arrows than was strictly necessary. Adjusting to life at the New Alliance Army Headquarters, he would grow close to Ayda, a forest hunter whom he shared quite a lot in common with.
After the Dunan Unification War, Kinnison returned his normal life in the forest near Ryube, though he visited Ayda in the deep forest from time to time.
