Kanaan (カナン, Kanan) is a minor antagonist in Suikoden. He is the Assistant Commander of the Imperial Guard and something of a negative symbol for the bloated Scarlet Moon Empire of the time.

Biography

Listen, all of you. I'm your superior in the Imperial Guard. Disobeying me means disobeying the Empire. Keep that in mind.

— Kanaan

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.

After Kraze was demoted for being unable to capture McDohl, Kanaan served under Yuber for the remainder of the Gate Rune War.
