Geil Rugner was born the eldest son of [[Kallnach Rugner]] and thus, the seemingly obvious choice as the new Emperor once his father died. However, on Kallnach's deathbed, he chose Geil's younger brother, [[Michelan Rugner|Michelan]] as his successor.

However, on Kallnach's deathbed, he chose Geil's younger brother, [[Michelan Rugner|Michelan]] as his successor. As an adult, he wore a gold-rimmed monocle and had a double chin and aquiline nose.

When Michelan passed away, it appeared the emperorship would fall to Michelan's son, [[Barbarosa Rugner|Barbarosa]]. However, Geil used his influence in the courts to ~~have~~ Barbarosa stripped of the crown while he was away in [[Kunan]]. Geil was then crowned Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. The [[War of Succession]] broke out soon after.

When Michelan passed away, it appeared the emperorship would fall to Michelan's son, [[Barbarosa Rugner|Barbarosa]]. However, Geil used his influence in the courts to claim that Michelan had suborned the will of Kallanch and thus had Barbarosa stripped of the crown while he was away in [[Kunan]]. Geil was then crowned Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. The [[War of Succession]] broke out soon after.

~~Although~~ Geil seemed well backed during the war, having a mixture of generals and administrators, including [[Bergen (Genso Suikoden Short Story Collection 1)|Bergen]], [[Schmidt]], [[Assam]] and [[Kreutz]], the latter of which considered to be the greatest of Geil's generals, he decided to enact a brutal rule in an attempt to secure his power, losing him the support of the populace.

But he decided to enact a brutal rule in an attempt to secure his power, collaborating with bandits and lake pirates, losing him the support of the populace.

Meanwhile, Barbarosa managed to gather his own impressive followers, including the six [[Great General|Great Generals]] and within a year, the war was over. Geil Rugner made one final stand at [[Gregminster]] but was cut down and killed by Barbarosa himself.
