Gen (ゲン, Gen) is a supporting character in Suikoden. A shipwright by trade, Gen invented a motorboat with the scientist Kamandol.

Biography

All I'm interested in are boats. I'll take on any job as long as it's worthy of my skills.

— Gen

Gen was a masterful shipwright who lived in the city of Teien, with a strong enquiring mind and a great deal of pride in his work. He was a neighbour of Kamandol and although the two constantly bickered and acted like they couldn't stand the sight of one another, in truth, the two were kindred spirits.

During the Gate Rune War, Gen was approached by the Toran Liberation Army to build a boat that could traverse the Rapids of Dunan. Gen, with the aid of Kamandol, was able to put such a craft together and would join the Liberation Army soon after. During the war, he would serve as a commander in the Carpenters unit. Later in the war, he would create a further enhanced ship, capable of great speeds.

Following the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Gen returned to Teien to continue his line of work.

Trivia

The names Gen bring up when struggling to remember Premier L'Amour include Plummy Lamar, Prommy Lamb, and Pramyam Lobby.
In the English version of Suikoden, when Gen visited Kamandol, Kamandol offers him his finest tea but in the Japanese version, Kamandol offers him sake.

-A friend of [[Kamandol]], Gen is a shipwright living in [[Teien]]. Gen held a strong interest in his trade and little else, not even recognizing the [[Toran Liberation Army]] when they visited him during the [[Gate Rune War]]<ref>"Who the hell are you? Liberation Army? Never heard of ya. I've no such interest in such things. - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Gen gained an interest in the Toran Liberation Army when [[Hero (Suikoden)]] requested a boat that would beat the [[Rapids of Dunan]]. Gen, finding this an interesting challenge, readily accepted, but admitted that he could not do the job alone, as an ordinary boat could not pass the rapids<ref>"The Rapids of Dunan, eh? Hmmm. Interesting. All right. I, Gen, will show you what I can do. But I can't do this alone. An ordinary boat will never make it." - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
+Gen was a masterful shipwright who lived in the city of [[Teien]], with a strong enquiring mind and a great deal of pride in his work. He was a neighbour of [[Kamandol]] and although the two constantly bickered and acted like they couldn't stand the sight of one another, in truth, the two were kindred spirits.
-Gen quickly brought Tir McDohl and his entourage to his neighbor, [[Kamandol]], with whom he enjoyed a friendly, if bickering, relationship. Kamandol, equally intrigued by the idea of conquering the [[Rapids of Dunan]], agreed to help the Toran Liberation Army, showing them one of his inventions: an engine that ran on oil. In order to test the engine, Tir McDohl and his party, along with Kamandol and Gen travelled to [[Rikon]]. Gen and Kamandol immediately went to work, making the boat a motorboat. After working throughout the night, Gen and Kamandol completed their work, each deciding to join the Toran Liberation Army. Using the new engine, the group successfully navigated the Rapids of Dunan.
+During the [[Gate Rune War]], Gen was approached by the [[Toran Liberation Army]] to build a boat that could traverse the [[Rapids of Dunan]].

Later in the war, he would create a further enhanced ship, capable of great speeds.
-Gen served in the Toran Liberation Army throughout the Toran Liberation War, acting as a look out when [[Teo McDohl]] attacked [[Toran Castle]]<ref>"They're here. They're finally here, on the far shore. Quite a number of troops." - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  Later on, Gen and Kamandol invented another improved boat, this one capable of high speeds<ref>"Anyway, take a look at this. A high-speed boat I made. Well, that old geezer helped out too." - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Gen had a habit of calling Tir McDohl "Boss" which infuriated the more formal Kamandol<ref>"Not Boss, Master Tir." - Kamandol ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
+Following the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Gen returned to Teien to continue his line of work.
-Prior to the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Gen was forced to work all night, only taking a brief break to visit Kamandol<ref>"Thanks to Master Mathiu's crazy scheme, I've got to work all night. I just took a little break to come see you, and..." - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Gen's dedication to the Toran Liberation Army did not waver, as he and his troops were still trying to fix what they could prior to the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]]<ref>"Fix what you can fix. This is our last chance." - Gen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
-Following the conclusion of the Toran Liberation War, Gen returned to Teien to continue his line of work<ref>"Returns to Teien, where he continues to build ships." - Gen's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
