By the year 449, Georg Prime resurfaced again - this time in the [[Queendom of Falena]]. He became one of the nation's elite [[Queen's Knights]], under the invitation of his old friend and Queen's Knight Commander, [[Ferid]]. By this time, Georg's skills were refined to the point that it was believed that no Queen's Knight, with the possible exception of Ferid, could contest with Prime in a battle without the use of [[rune]]s. | By the year 449, Georg Prime resurfaced again - this time in the [[Queendom of Falena]].

By this time, Georg's skills were refined to the point that it was believed that no Queen's Knight, with the possible exception of Ferid, could contest with Prime in a battle without the use of [[rune]]s. | ||
Unbeknownst to most everyone else, Georg had been summoned to Falena by Ferid for a specific reason. If his wife, Queen [[Arshtat Falenas]], were to fall irreversibly under the influence of the [[Sun Rune]], Georg was to murder her in order to prevent the possibility of a recurrence of the [[Lordlake Uprising]]; Either on the same, or a much larger, scale | Unbeknownst to most everyone else, Georg had been summoned to Falena by Ferid for a specific reason.

Following the deed, Georg attempted to escape the [[Sun Palace]], presumably to flee the country. However, he encountered the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince of Falena]], his bodyguard [[Lyon]] and Arshtat's sister, [[Sialeeds]] and decided to accompany them, helping them to escape [[Sol-Falena]]. As the murder of Arshtat was witnessed by several Godwin soldiers, [[Nether Gate]] assassins as well as Queen's Knights [[Galleon]] and [[Miakis]], it was no surprise when the Godwin administration placed a bounty on Georg's head for the murder of Arshtat. Although friends and allies assumed Georg's innocence, Prime himself never attempted to exonerate himself of any guilt. | Eventually, this came to pass with the Falenan [[Godwin Faction]]'s coup on the royal palace. With Ferid killed, Arshtat now had no checks on the rune's influence, forcing Prime to kill her by running his sword through her back. | ||

His status as a fugitive and reputation in tatters, Georg remained undercover for much of the [[Sun Rune War]], aiding the war effort in ways other than wielding his sword such as performing low-profile tasks like assisting in the evacuations of towns when need be as well as gathering mercenaries. Early in the war, he also traveled to [[Sable]] in order to keep an eye on the [[Armes Southern Mountain Corps]]. | His status as a fugitive and reputation in tatters, Georg remained undercover for much of the [[Sun Rune War]], aiding the war effort in ways other than wielding his sword such as performing low-profile tasks like assisting in the evacuations of towns when need be as well as gathering mercenaries.

Georg eventually returned to the base of the Prince's headquarters at [[Ceras Lake]], intending to report on his activities to strategist [[Lucretia Merces]]. However, he was confronted by Queen's Knight Miakis, who had recently joined the group. Firmly accused of the murder of Arshtat by a loyalist witness for the first time, Georg left the headquarters without saying a word. | Georg eventually returned to the base of the Prince's headquarters at [[Ceras Lake]], intending to report on his activities to strategist [[Lucretia Merces]].

While faith in Georg Prime's motives were shaken by the accusation, many in the loyalist army held the view that the situation could not have been as simple as Miakis had stated. Therefore, Galleon's explanation of the full sequence of events was met with great relief by all concerned. However, Prime himself did not rejoin the loyalist forces in full capacity until after he helped free [[Gordius]] from control of the Godwin Faction, detaining a messenger of [[Dolph]]'s who was to order reinforcements to come to Gordius to capture the Prince and his companions. | While faith in Georg Prime's motives were shaken by the accusation, many in the loyalist army held the view that the situation could not have been as simple as Miakis had stated.

In the closing stages of the civil war, Georg escorted [[Zweig]]'s group through the [[Sindar]] ruins located in the far northern [[Ashtwal Mountains]], his swordsmanship helping to protect his group from the monsters that roamed within. | In the closing stages of the civil war, Georg escorted [[Zweig]]'s group through the [[Sindar]] ruins located in the far northern [[Ashtwal Mountains]], his swordsmanship helping to protect his group from the monsters that roamed within. | ||

Removing his eye patch, his comrades were shocked to discover that Georg had the use of both his eyes, although there were clues beforehand that this was the case. Leaving Falena, Georg returned to the [[northern continent]] where he continued to make his way as a soldier, earning more fame and titles. | ||

Located in [[Muse City]] at the time of the Highland occupation of the city, it was Georg Prime who helped the doctor, [[Huan]], escape the city, allowing him to journey freely to South Window. | [[File:George rebuffs the Highland defenses.png|thumb|right|220px|Sometimes he stops to help, just to prove to everyone he's still the man]]Nothing is known of Georg's deeds until ten years later, in the year 460, when he traveled to the [[City-State of Jowston]] just as the [[Dunan Unification War]] began in earnest between Jowston and Highland.

[[File:George asks for payment.png|thumb|left|220px|Never give up. Trust your instincts]]Prime later encountered [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the New State Army, in [[Lampdragon Mountain]], the border pass between Two River and Tinto. There, he agreed to fight for the hero's cause as long as he never gave up his own. As skilled as ever, Georg proved to be a valuable officer on the battlefield for the remainder of the war. Whereas in Falena, Georg was seen as a man with a sense of humor, by this time Prime was a much more serious man, prone to speaking on virtue and determination. His one real quirk remained his passion for cheesecake. | [[File:George asks for payment.png|thumb|left|220px|Never give up.
