Description
Lord Genon is a high-ranking noble from the kingdom of Chuder, also referred to as Tudor, who appears during the Golden Age arc. He originally came from a local aristocratic background and, through his immense personal wealth, climbed the political and military ranks to become a regional governor and later the supreme commander of Chuder’s northern front. His final posting placed him as governor of the heavily fortified Doldrey fortress.
Genon’s personality is defined by a predatory obsession with youth and beauty. He is a notorious pederast, surrounding himself with a large retinue of very young male servants, none older than their teens. His desires are not merely private: they directly shape his actions and decisions. Early in the Band of the Hawk’s rise, Genon hired them for several jobs and developed a strong attraction to their leader, Griffith. Griffith, calculating his path to power, agreed to sleep with Genon in exchange for crucial funding that helped expand the Band. For Genon, this encounter became an all-consuming fixation.
His primary motivation throughout the story is the desire to possess Griffith again, a longing that blinds him to strategic realities. When the Band of the Hawk, now serving as part of Midland’s army, besieged Doldrey, Genon learned that Griffith was leading the assault. Overcome by his obsession, he overrode the military chain of command, issuing orders that prioritized capturing Griffith alive over sound battlefield tactics. His interference led to the defeat of Chuder’s forces and the loss of the fortress. Even in his final moments, with Griffith standing before him as a victor, Genon pleaded pathetically, insisting that all he ever wanted was to have Griffith back. Griffith showed no mercy and killed him.
In terms of relationships, Genon’s most significant connection is with Griffith. Their transactional encounter defines Genon’s arc and serves as an early indicator of Griffith’s ruthlessness and willingness to sacrifice personal integrity for ambition. Genon also interacts with General Boscone, a capable commander whose authority Genon undermines, ultimately causing Boscone’s death in battle. Genon views his own subordinates as disposable tools.
Genon experiences no meaningful development or redemption. His trajectory moves from a wealthy, decadent noble to a high-ranking governor whose obsession leads directly to his military failure and death. He remains static in his vices, never learning or changing.
His notable abilities are not combat-related. He possesses no personal fighting skill; instead, his power derives from his immense financial resources and political influence, which he uses to secure appointments and override military decisions. His wealth allows him to buy positions and surround himself with compliant servants, but it ultimately proves useless against Griffith’s strategic brilliance and the Hawks’ martial superiority.
