Skald Egan: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

Skald Egan is the leader of the [[Island Nations Federation]] fleet and captain of the vessel [[Lino En Kuldes (ship)|Lino En Kuldes]]. He is also the father of eight children, including his youngest child, [[Bernadette Egan|Bernadette]], as well as [[Ferid]]. This would also make him the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince]]'s grandfather. Ferid's parentage, however, was kept quiet once he entered the [[Sacred Games]] in [[Queendom of Falena|Falena]] in order to not bring up accusations of the Island Nations having undue influence in Falenan politics.

During the [[Sun Rune War]], the [[Imperial City Recapture Army]] arranged a meeting with Skald on [[Nirva Island]] as the admiral traveled to Falena for Princess [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]]. The Recapture Army requested an alliance with the Island Nations Federation, represented by Skald, but the admiral turned the request down, citing the [[Obel Maritime Council]]'s line on the matter. However, when he was impressed with how the Prince helped deal with a band of pirates threatening to burn down the [[Nirva Lighthouse]], he did convince Bernadette to serve as his representative before continuing his journey to [[Sol Falena]].

As a leader, Skald carries himself with a very gung ho type of attitude, driving himself and his officers hard but also treating them dignity. He is also a very decisive figure and quick to decide on a course of action. This reputation was partly so great because Skald would play up these traits in order to manipulate people and events. For example, by pretending to have decided to burn the Nirva Lighthouse down in order to thwart the pirates, he forced Bernadette to accept the help of the Prince in capturing them instead. Similarly, his rash choice to take his navy into battle against the [[House of Godwin]] was another ploy designed to have Bernadette quickly volunteer to join the Imperial City Recapture Army instead, proving that Skald was a very shrewd man as well as a great admiral.
