Gen is chained up in a dungeon with shackles chafing against his wrists as he slowly starves. But he isn't concerned. Gen is an experienced thief, which is what got him into prison and what will get him out. There isn't a prison that he can't steal himself out of and he knows he'll be free of this one soon...somehow. He isn't surprised when the King's Magus brings him out for a consultation. He has a job that only a thief can do. It will be dangerous and difficult and he may not make it out alive, but the Magus assures him that he will definitely die if he doesn't go along with it. So Gen agrees to go with the Magus and steal an ancient treasure from the Gods.
Gen is a cunning thief with a heart of gold and a sharp tongue. He takes pleasure in annoying the rest of the party throughout the novel, but when the going gets tough is quick to display his skill. The world-building and invented mythology is interesting and their adventures on the road keep the pace moving quickly.
