Even now." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Pahn could no longer stand by the Scarlet Moon Empire as he wished to ~~follow his heart<ref>"Yet my heart still aches. I-I want to follow my heart." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and~~ join the [[Toran Liberation Army]]<ref>"Young Master - I mean Commander Tir - please let me join the Liberation Army. I cannot ask to be forgiven, but even so, I would like to be of service to you." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. ~~Tir quickly welcomed~~ Pahn ~~into his forces and Pahn, in return,~~ protected Tir loyally~~; he~~ was one of the first to arrive after an assassin attacked Tir<ref>"Master Tir! Are you all right? You scoundrel!" - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> ~~and even stood~~ guard ~~with Gremio~~ outside of Tir's door the following evening<ref>"I'll stand watch over Master Tir." - Pahn ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

==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.

* Pahn shares the same battle sprite as [[Morgan]], it's a simple palette swap with minor differences.

* If one examines Pahn's diary in Gregminster after one returns from the audience with Emperor Barbarosa, one can see Pahn's food diary<ref>"Date: 4/XX Breakfast: toast & eggs, Lunch: sandwich, Dinner: croquettes Date: 5/XX Breakfast: toast & fried eggs, Lunch: rice balls, Dinner: roast beef Date: 6/XX Breakfast: toast &..." - Pahn's Diary ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, which will be updated the next day<ref>"Yesterday's menu Steamed spring chicken, seafood salad, cheese omelet, Gremio's special stew, dumplings..."- Pahn's Diary ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
