A gunner (ガンナー, gan'nā) is a title within the Howling Voice Guild. Gunners have been seen in several titles of the Suikoden series.
Information
Those in the Howling Voice Guild who are trained in the use of firearms and gunpowder are called "gunners". There are different ranks of gunner depending on their level of ability, from knight-class to squire-class to apprentice-class. Only knight-class gunners were considered eligible to become Guildmaster.
Clive and Elza were both knight-class gunners, while Zaj Quiroz and Cathari operated as squire-class operatives. After Clive killed Elza in a duel, he would return to the Guild and become Guildmaster.
