Biography

Suikoden

There are some fine women in the Liberation Army, aren't there? —  Sheena

Sheena is the son of Lepant and Eileen who has somewhat of a wandering eye. Sheena was spoiled by his mother during his youth and has grown up to be a rather immature man, by his father's standards. He is said to have the sword skills of his father and the magical ability of his mother.

During the Gate Rune War, Sheena was flirting in Seika, boasting about his family's wealth, when he was overheard by Lepant. Unhappy at his son's playboy attitude, seeing as Sheena was supposed to be on a journey to learn about the world, Lepant forced his son to join the Toran Liberation Army with the aim of making Sheena into a mature adult.

Throughout the war, Sheena served in his father's unit, shoving off his own tactical skill. Following the fall of the Scarlet Moon Empire and the end of the Gate Rune War, Sheena left his parents once more, unchanged by his encounter with his father, and wandering around and having a good time as usual.

Suikoden II

During the Dunan Unification War, Sheena traveled to the City-State of Jowston. He would help broker an alliance between the New State Army and the Toran Republic, giving Sheena the opportunity to return home and relax. Unfortunately for his plans, Lepant would order his son to join the New State Army for the remainder of the war.

Sheena would serve as a bodyguard of the New State Army's leader. Following the war, he would again return to Toran in an attempt to shrike responsibility but once again was caught by his father and forced to endure his harsh training.

Genso Suikogaiden Volume 1

Following his training, Sheena would resume his idle journey, this time towards the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, with Oulan hired as his bodyguard.

Trivia

• Though he uses a rapier in Suikoden, Sheena takes on his father's old sword for Suikoden II: Kirinji, Kirinji 2, Kirinji 3.
• Fans speculate that Sheena may be Apple's un-named former husband that she mentions in Suikoden III.
• Sheena uses a rather unusual technique with the Kirinji. Though the Kirinji is a flamberge, a type of sword normally held with two hands, Sheena attacks holding it with one hand.
