Gennon (ć‚²ćƒŽćƒ³ Genon?) was a high-ranking noble in Tudor. He was killed at the hands of Griffith when the Band of the Falcon defeated the castle's general.

Appearance

Gennon was a short and obese man of old age. He was nearly completely bald, with long hair only on the back of his head, and an equally long beard and mustache. He usually wore noble outfits, but when it came to battle, he did not think twice to wear an armor and a battlefield outfit.

Personality

Gennon had an infamous reputation as a pederast. Some evidence of this lied in the fact that virtually all of Gennon's servants were teenaged youths or younger. He would employ children from neighboring villages as 'attendants', nearly all of whom were boys. Gennon also seemed to have a borderline obsessive love for Griffith, almost idolizing him and wanting nothing more than to have another 'wonderful night with him'.

Abilities

He was skilled with swordplay and had shown that he could move quickly when on horse back, as shown when he decapitated Boscogn's right hand man for attempting to kill Griffith.

Story

Golden Age Arc

Shortly after the time Griffith first began the Band of the Falcon, he found himself and his group in Gennon's employ. Motivated by a need to amass wealth to maintain the Band of the Falcon and reduce causalities, Griffith accepted Gennon's terms to spend the night with him. Unware that Griffith had ulterior motives, Gennon became obsessed with the youth.

Years later, after being made general governor of Doldrey, Gennon learns of the Band of Falcon's siege of the fortress and gives Boscogn instructions to bring Griffith to him alive to have him again. When the Battle of Doldrey goes underway, Gennon fears Boscogn might end up killing Griffith and decides to personally take command of his forces to ensure his prize.
