| Kanaan was Assistant Commander of the [[Imperial Guard]] under [[Kraze Miles]]<ref>"What did you say?! I'm Kanaan, assistant to Imperial Guard Commander Kraze! Tell Grady to get out here!" - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref><ref>"I, Kanaan, Assistant Commander of the | | Kanaan was Assistant Commander of the [[Imperial Guard]] under [[Kraze Miles]] and a typical example of a corrupt Imperial official of the time. His advancement came entirely from his irritating brand of flattery. |
| Imperial Guard of the Golden Emperor Barbarosa, have come here to teach you a lesson." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> during the early stages of the [[Gate Rune War]]. A man of many traits, few of them positive<ref>"Idiot! Kanaan! I'm telling you to shut up!" - Kraze Miles ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref><ref>"What a creep." - Cleo ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref><ref>"Fools! What are you saying! You must protect me." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, Kanaan was considered a sign of the problems infesting the late [[Scarlet Moon Empire]]. | |

| Kanaan was the leader of the mission to investigate the failure of [[Rockland]] to pay its taxes<ref>"Anyway, ask the military commander of Rockland about the tax situation. His name is Grady. And you'll take Kanaan with you on this mission." - Kraze Miles ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. It was Kanaan who noted that it seemed [[Grady]] was doing well, despite the protestations of the military commander<ref>"Humph. Looks like you're doing very well here." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> although that did not stop him from ignoring this and agreeing to eradicate the Mt. Seifu bandits<ref>"Ho ho! Of course not. Hmmm, bandits, eh? Ummm...well. We should be okay. We'll crush them like flies. Ho ho ho!" - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
| | After Kraze was demoted for being unable to capture [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]], Kanaan served under [[Yuber]] for the remainder of the [[Gate Rune War]]. |
| | |
| It was Kanaan who first figured that [[Ted]] had the [[Rune of Life and Death]], having witnessed its power on [[Mt. Seifu]]<ref>"Hmmm, this must be what Commander Kraze was talking about." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, which led to [[Hero (Suikoden)]] and his servants becoming fugitives. Near the end of the Liberation War, Kanaan was actually promoted to the the position of assistant to [[Yuber]]<ref>"Sir Yuber, the Liberation Army is here." - Kanaan ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, who led the final Imperial defence at [[Gregminster]].

| After the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Kanaan quickly fled the scene. With the collapse of the Imperial government, he turned to a life of petty crime and was eventually arrested and imprisoned by the [[Dunan Unification War]].
