Kanaan (カナン; Kanan) is a minor antagonist in Suikoden.
Profile
Background
A 33-year-old male whose hometown is not named. Formerly the deputy captain of the Imperial Guard in the Scarlet Moon Empire. For a time, he was the superior officer to Tir McDohl. A classic corrupt official, he once took credit for Tir's achievements to curry favor with his superiors. When his superior Kraze was demoted for failing to capture the Tir, he quickly aligned himself with his new boss, Yuber, adopting a sycophantic attitude toward those in power. After the war, he committed fraud in Gregminster and was eventually arrested.

A few years after the Toran Liberation War, Kanaan was arrested for fraud in Gregminster.
