Biography

Suikoden

Hee hee, catch me if you can.

— Krin

Krin is a petty thief who attempts to manipulate situations for his own profit. Krin encountered Tir McDohl in Kouan, where Krin took advantage of the Toran Liberation Army's desire to see Lepant by encouraging Tir to steal the sword Kirinji. Krin helped the party break into Lepant's home but declined to follow them, as he had been unable to get past Lepant's defences in the past^[1]. After Tir's party returned with the sword, Krin offered them some Robber's Tea, but Tir and his companions saw through Krin's ruse.

Lepant quickly found Tir McDohl and his party, as Krin had notified him of where Tir would be so that Lepant could capture them in their sleep^[2]. When Tir, Lepant, and the others returned to Toran Castle, Krin came along with them, joining the Toran Liberation Army.

Krin served the Toran Liberation Army by performing some reconnaissance with Kasumi. The two caught Taggart wandering around Toran Castle^[3]. Later in the Gate Rune War, Krin and Kasumi were sent on a reconnaissance mission into Scarlet Moon Empire territory, where they were able to determine there was an intelligence leak in the Toran Liberation Army, though they were unable to determine where the leak was^[4]. Following the Battle at the Northern Checkpoint, Krin was one of Tir McDohl's party members for the rescue of Viktor and Warren from Moravia, along with Kasumi. Prior to the Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade, Krin dreamt of stealing a great deal of treasure, so much that he could not carry it all^[5].

Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Krin stole Gregminster Palace's treasures, then quickly vanished^[6].

Trivia

Before his compulsory recruitment, Krin can be found in Lenankamp.

-Krin is a petty thief who attempts to manipulate situations for his own profit. Krin encountered [[Tir McDohl]] in [[Kouan]], where Krin told Tir McDohl and his party that they would never get in to see [[Lepant]], and that he had a much better plan if they wanted to meet Lepant<ref>"You went to Lepant's mansion? Hee hee! You guys would never get in, even if you spent years in front of his house. I have a much better plan. Care to hear me out? You'll get to meet Lepant." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. After Tir McDohl accepted to hear out Krin's plan, Krin told Tir and his party about Lepant's greatest treasures, his wife [[Eileen]] and his sword [[Kirinji]]<ref>"Lepant treasures two things above all else. One is his wife Eileen. The other is the great sword Kirinji." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>; should Tir and his party steal Kirinji, Krin was sure Lepant would quickly be hot on their heels<ref>"So if you steal Kirinji, Lepant will most certainly come after you. Then, after you face him, you can talk to him, or blackmail him, or whatever you like. Understand?" - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When [[Viktor]] asked how they would go about stealing Kirinji, Krin told Tir McDohl and his party to simply leave that to him and come around to Lepant's house later<ref>"Hee hee. Just leave that to me. Wait here a while, then come on over to Lepant's house. I'll see you later, hee hee." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

-When the [[Toran Liberation Army]] members met with Krin later that evening, Krin tied a rope around a tree outside of Lepant's estate for Tir and his party to climb through. Krin did not accompany Tir McDohl and his party, claiming his part was done<ref>"My job is done. Now it's your turn. I'll be waiting here." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When Tir McDohl and his party retrieved Kirinji, Krin praised them, claiming that they had done very well, as Krin himself had once tried to burgle Lepant but had been unable to overcome Lepant's defences<ref>"You did very well. I snuck in there once myself, but some kind of weird doll appeared, and I ran off without taking anything." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Krin then offered them some tea<ref>"You must be tired. How about some tea?" - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but Tir McDohl and his party, having recently been swindled by a similar trick perpetrated by [[Ledon]], asked Krin to drink it first<ref>"You go ahead and drink it first." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Krin attempted to refuse, claiming he had not worked and therefore had not gotten tired<ref>"Oh, no, you go ahead. I didn't work, and I'm not tired, hee hee." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]]</ref>, but Tir McDohl and his party were not fooled, and quickly tied Krin to a bed, Viktor calling Krin a scoundrel<ref>"What a scoundrel." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

-Krin served the Toran Liberation Army throughout the war, performing some reconnaissance with [[Kasumi]]. The two caught [[Taggart]] wandering around Toran Castle<ref>"Kasumi and Krin captured him hanging around the castle." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Krin was sure that Taggart was a spy, and that was the reason that he would not say a word<ref>"I'm saying that I have a hunch. He's a spy for sure. That's why he won't talk." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Kasumi was more doubtful of Krin's hunch, claiming that it had not been the first time his instincts had been wrong<ref>"What are you talking about? Don't you trust my instincts?" - Krin<br>"Your instincts? Don't make me laugh. Thanks to your instincts, we almost got captured by the Imperials, remember?" - Kasumi ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and that Taggart's silence was not necessarily proof that he was a spy. Krin teased Kasumi for how ladylike she attempted to be in front of Tir McDohl, claiming that for her it was a lost cause<ref>"Hee hee, how ladylike you try to be in front of Tir. But for you it's a lost cause." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

-Following the [[Battle at the Northern Checkpoint]], Krin was chosen as one of Tir McDohl's party members for the rescue of Viktor and [[Warren]] from [[Moravia]], along with Kasumi<ref>"This mission will be carried out by yours truly, Commander Tir, Kasumi, Krin, Griffith, and three others." - Mathiu Silverberg ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Krin wondered whether their plan to enter Moravia Castle would work, saying that he would escape by himself should it fail<ref>"Is this really going to work? If it doesn't, I'll escape by myself, hee hee." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Kasumi asked whether Krin would really leave Tir behind<ref>"What a thing to say, Krin. You'd leave Master Tir behind?" - Kasumi ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but Krin merely laughed and replied he did not know<ref>"Hee hee, I duno." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Krin aided the party during their infiltration of Moravia by tying a rope between spires<ref>"Hee hee, I'll take care of it." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When they encountered Viktor and Warren's cells, Krin taunted them, wondering if they should stay there longer to cool off<ref>"Hee hee, why don't you stay a little longer and cool off?" - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and telling them to catch Krin should they be able to<ref>"Hee hee, catch me if you can." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. However, Krin's taunting was ruined when Kasumi opened the cells, and Krin claimed he had only been joking<ref>"Whoaaa! I-I was just k-kidding." - Krin ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Krin dreamt of stealing a great deal of treasure, so much that Krin could not carry it all<ref>"Mmmmmmm......snore.... Wow...treasure...
