Eileen is the wife of [[Lepant]], President of the [[Toran Republic]], and also the mother of [[Sheena]]. When [[Kraze Miles]] became military commander of [[Kounan]], he took a liking to Eileen and attempted to kidnap her for his own purposes, only to be thwarted by Lepant and [[Tir McDohl|Tir]]. Following this incident, Lepant left the [[Scarlet Moon Empire|Empire]] and worried for his wife, he offered to divorce. Eileen responded that she had been prepared for the worst since she had married him and, along with her husband, joined the [[Toran Liberation Army]].
{{quote| I've been prepared for the worst, ever since I married you. | Eileen}}


Following the end of the [[Gate Rune War]] and Lepant's ascension to the Presidency of the Toran Republic, Eileen was said to always be by Lepant's side.
The wife of [[Lepant]], Eileen is said to be one of the two things Lepant treasures above all else<ref>"Lepant treasures two things above all else. One is his wife Eileen." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Eileen is fiercely loyal to her husband, and was known to spoil her son, [[Sheena]], in his youth. During the [[Gate Rune War]], the [[Toran Liberation Army]] attempted to recruit Lepant, but Lepant refused; though sympathetic to their cause, Lepant could not bear to think of how his wife would miss him<ref>"I'm sorry, but when I think about how my wife will miss me, I can't." - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  


==Personality and traits==
Lepant's answer quickly changed when the new Military Commander of [[Kouan]], [[Kraze Miles]], kidnapped Eileen. Furious, Lepant set out to rescue his wife, slaying multiple guards with help from [[Tir McDohl]]. After slaying Kraze Miles and rescuing Eileen, Lepant declared that she was no longer his wife<ref>"You are no longer my wife." - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> as he was going to join the Toran Liberation Army and would not likely be able to return<ref>"I am joining the Liberation Army. I probably won't be able to return." - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Eileen, however, refused to consent to this, calling Lepant a cruel man<ref>"......... You're a cruel man. What do you take me for?" - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and, despite Lepant warning her that she would suffer should she come with him<ref>"If you come along, you'll suffer." - Lepant ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Eileen responded that she had been prepared for the worst since she had married him<ref>"I've been prepared for the worst, ever since I married you. - Eileen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and joined Lepant in joining the Toran Liberation Army. The two quickly traveled to [[Toran Castle]].
Although Eileen appeared, and acted, like a traditional lady of a household, she possesses a strong hidden strength as well as natural kindness. She is strongly devoted to her husband, with her words and actions being an embodiment of the depth of love she feels. Eileen is an excellent talent at magic, and it is this talent, and her dislike of fighting, that seem to have been firmly passed on to her son, Sheena.
 
Eileen's son, [[Sheena]], also eventually came to join the Toran Liberation Army. Eileen often served as a calming influence to Lepant's personality and helped to point out that Sheena, whom Lepant was often frustrated with, was much like Lepant at the same age.
 
Following the end of the Toran Liberation War and Lepant's ascension to the Presidency of the [[Toran Republic]] Eileen was said to always be by Lepant's side<ref>"Always by Lepant's side." - Eileen's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, some say Eileen has become the most powerful person within the nation, as Lepant is unable to talk back to her.
