The Refiant (リファイアント; Rifaianto) are a race of humans that appear in Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century.

Description[]

The Refiant are people who had their abilities strengthened through powerful magic. Their lifespans are longer than normal humans. Active research was being done at the time of the founding of the Holy Aionian Empire. They recruited volunteers and repeatedly tested on these living subjects.

The Refiant can freely use high grade magic, however, there is a drawback. A side effect of using this magic is that their life spans will be shortened.

Game[]

When the Hero first met Nikumba during in the time of Astrid, Nikumba told him about the Refiant. He explained that they were humans that had been altered through strong magical power. The technique had already been lost by Nikumba's time, but it had been common around the founding of the Empire. It seemed that there was no end to the number of people who volunteered themselves, wishing to get stronger bodies and powerful magical abilities. it was all for the sake of fighting the Telluspharma that would appear at some point in the future. There were a lot of people who volunteered to have their magical powers enhanced. The treatment was simple and as a side-effect their lifespan would become longer.

However, it is impossible that such an unnatural act can bring only good things. These magically enhanced Refiant would, in exchange for using powerful magic, wear down their life force. When the Telluspharma appeared, the Refiant bravely used their magic to fight them. They fell one by one as their life force burned out. Nikumba told the Hero that Lete was the last of the Refiant. And this is why L'aquila had such strong feelings of guilt. Even though she knew that the Refiant would die if they used magic, she continued to make magic stones. She felt that she was killing them indirectly.

Lete asked the Hero to please pass a message to L'aquila. Lete and the others chose to become Refiant, and she was able to live a long time with a youthful appearance. The Refiant were not the only ones who risked their lives or even gave up their lives to fight the Telluspharma.

Notes[]

Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki Creation Documents (Gensosuikoden Design Works) lists four characters with an unknown race: Lete, Renefelius, Zephon, and Lugato.

In the game, Lete and Renefelius XIII are confirmed to be refiant. Zephon's profile in Gensou Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki The Complete Guide lists him as being a refiant.

Kleion is sometimes noted as being a possible Refiant as his birth and lineage are unknown. However, the book states that his race is human.
