A skilled martial artist, Pahn is a soldier who swore allegiance to [[Geil Rugner]] during the [[War of Succession]]. During this war, Pahn duelled General [[Teo McDohl]] and lost; after losing to him, Pahn defected to [[Barbarosa Rugner]]'s side and joined Teo McDohl's forces. Following the Succession War, Pahn came to live in the McDohl household and even helped in the upbringing of Teo's young son, [[Tir McDohl]].  Pahn is an avid eater who enjoys food of all varieties, especially anything made by [[Gremio]]. He's also one of the few people to use the [[Boar Rune]]. Pahn continued to protect and help Tir, as Teo had wished<ref>"Cleo, Pahn, I'm counting on you two as well to help and protect." - Teo McDohl ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, during Tir's missions for the [[Imperial Guard]].
After the war, Pahn left on a journey to improve himself, although he would infrequently return to the household. Three years later, however, he returned to [[Gregminster]], since he was out of money, although he claimed it was because he had a feeling that McDohl would be returning to the city.


However, when Pahn, [[Cleo]], Gremio and Tir discovered an unconscious, badly beaten [[Ted]], he quickly deduced that it was the Imperial Guard who had wanted Ted<ref>"What is going on here? It seems the Imperial Guard was after him. But how can that happen..." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Though the rest of the McDohl household was hesitant to do so, Pahn wanted to contact the Imperial Guard, lest they get Teo into trouble<ref>"But we can't be sure. We can't cause problems while Master Teo is away." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Though Cleo tried to delay any decision until Ted woke up and told them what had happened, Pahn eventually left to notify the Imperial Guard of Ted's whereabouts<ref>"We know he's here. Loyal Pahn here told us." - Kraze Miles ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. This caused Tir McDohl, Gremio, and Cleo to become fugitives as they were forced to flee the [[Gregminster]].

Pahn proved his loyalty when [[Teo McDohl]] attacked the Toran Liberation Army headquarters, [[Toran Castle]].

==Trivia==
* Like him or not, you are going to have to build Pahn up for the fight of his life against Teo or you will risk not getting a complete game. Including Pahn in your trip through the [[Kunan]] region (Milich Oppenheimer's domain) may help expedite this as to cut down on any boring grinding you may need to do before the Teo battle.
* It is quite possible to lose Pahn forever, as he must win his duel with Teo. The fight is so one-sided that even the game makes it appear that Pahn is supposed to lose. It takes the best available equipment and as much of a weapon upgrade as he can get just to slip by sometimes.  
* Pahn shares the same battle sprite as [[Morgan]], it's a simple palette swap with minor differences.

History

Time will judge whether my heart was in the right place.

—  Pahn

Pahn is a skilled martial artist who swore allegiance to Geil Rugner during the War of Succession. Pahn faced General Teo McDohl in a duel during the war and lost; after this, Pahn defected to Teo McDohl's forces. Pahn came to live in the McDohl household and even helped in the upbringing of Teo's young son. Pahn continued to protect and help McDohl during his missions for the Imperial Guard.

He was a big eater, chronicling his meals in a diary at the McDohl manor, and had a good-natured side but was often serious-minded. He was frequently concerned with doing what was just and following the right path. As such, when Ted arrived at the McDohl household badly injured, Pahn deduced that the Imperial Guard who had wanted Ted and left to notify the Imperial Guard of his whereabouts, not wanting to bring any harm to the McDohl household or Master Teo.

We kind of regret the decision you made that day, if that counts for anything.

During the Gate Rune War, Pahn initally served the Scarlet Moon Empire, but he eventually reunited with McDohl in Kouan. Though commanded by Kraze Miles to capture McDohl, Pahn declined. Struggling against his notions of loyalty versus what his own heart felt was right, he turned on Kraze, choosing to follow his heart from that point on.

Although he wished to join the Toran Liberation Army, Pahn also understood that he may not be easily forgiven for his past choices. Still, he would be accepted into the army. Pahn protected McDohl loyally and was one of the first to arrive after an assassin attacked the young master, afterwards standing guard outside of his door.
