Following the defeat of Viktor's mercenaries, Gengen, along with other survivors of the attack, became a member of the New State Army, where he served as an Infantry Captain during the Dunan Unification War. As a captain, he was not a very stern commander, but his passion to encourage and protect everyone under his charged shined through.

Although he spoke simply, many kobolds found his work ethic inspirational and worked hard to follow in his footsteps, not just Gabocha. He wielded an ordinary sword that he was nonetheless proud of, as reflected in the names he gave it.
