Lawkeeper and blade of the gods.[/i] As a Stout, Gennio's full name in Gnomish is longer than all human names, serving as a history of his life, it repeats five times, signifying the number of past lives he is believed to have had as Halfling King, being considered a reincarnation of his father, grandfather, and the kings before them.

His personality mirrors his ruling style, stern and a bit of a bully. Due to the Stout tradition of giving nicknames to their rulers for each action they do, Gennio is also known as "Ironwit", "Delayer", "The Yelling king", and "Shipslayer", all of which tell volumes about his character. Gennio's exceptional skill at naval tactics is only tempered by his impatience and sharp wit, he is known to have quite a stinging tongue and a lack of skill in diplomatic environments due to these facts, and the fact that his fleet usually heralded a long blockade and siege rather than a diplomatic mission. Beloved by his people, Gennio has his detractors, as his style of leadership has left Benaduza in a constant state of war, despite the attempts of the human nobles to curb his expansion. Gennio's legendarily brutal conquests, refusal to negotiate, and lack of restraint, are all seen to be a symptom of his impatience, but they also show that he cares about establishing a greater Benaduza Empire. [center][h3][i]Ability[/i][/h3][/center] [hr] A skilled axeling and godspeaker, Gennio goes into battle wielding a scroll with both his laws and those of the gods upon it. He is able to utilize divine blessings simply by reading this scroll. He is hard to kill, and his very presence is enough to bolster the courage of his men. Gennio's greatest strength, however, is his abilities as a naval tactician, considered the best in Benaduza. Even prior to his ascension to kingship his skill was renowned. His favored tactics include a massive barrage of flame arrows to burn an enemy fleet into nothing, and a charge to the enemy flagship, which he would ram into splinters. His boarding parties are weak, as halflings are poor melee combatants, but Gennio can easily carry a boarding action by himself through good command and the favor of the gods.
