Profile

Background

Krin was a petty thief who dreamed of striking it rich. While skilled in the art of thievery, his clumsy nature prevented him from becoming a true villain.

Appearance

Krin has brown hair. He wears a khaki coat, purple shirt and a blue pants. Seems to have a slightly hunched posture.

Personality

Krin loves to steal stuff, where there is anything valuable, there is good chance that Krin is around trying to get its hand on it. He also doesn't hesitate to use people to do the dirty work for him. Krin has a playful personality like when he teases Kasumi for her crush on Tir.

Story

Game

Before the Gate Rune Wars, Krin, as a thief, wandered in Toran spending his time stealing things. He first encountered Tir in Lenankamp, where he passed on advice about pots monsters drop. Later on, Krin met Tir in Kouan where Krin was unsuccessfully trying to pilfer Kirinji. He talked to Tir into doing the job as an attempt to gain audience with Lepant, and once they were successful, Krin tried to dose them with Robber's Tea. The attempt failed, since Tir and the group didn't fall again for the trick, they made Krin drink the tea first. Caught at his own game, Krin ended up press-ganged into service with the Liberation Army.

During the war, Krin is sent on assignment with Kasumi, and afterwards the pair accompanied Tir to rescue Viktor and Warren from Moravia Castle. After the war, Krin makes off with the treasures of Gregminster palace and disappears.

Trivia

• Krin, much like Stallion, comes up with an Escape Talisman in his inventory. In comparison to the others Escape Talisman which are a single use, this one can be used infinitely. At the sole condition that the talisman stays in Krin's inventory and is not gived to anyone else or put into the warehouse.
• Bring Krin to the second floor of the Keyaki Inn in Lenankamp, for a scenario with the man he robbed.
