Shinon (シノン Chinon in the Japanese version) is a sarcastic, self-interested man. He is good friends with Gatrie and bears a great respect for Greil, which can be revealed in a support with Janaff where he defends the deceased commander. On the other hand, he constantly treats Ike like a foolish child and finds the idea of Greil's son serving as his commander insufferable, also referring to all laguz as "sub-humans".
Shinon wishes to live a more comfortable life, and feels that the Greil Mercenaries would do better to search out more lucrative employment than scaring bandits away from Crimean villages. Ultimately, he leaves the party, following the news that Ike would succeed Greil as leader of the mercenaries.
Shinon doesn't reappear until much later, when he is employed by the Daein army to help stop Ike's forces from advancing across the Daein border. He rejoins the company grudgingly, under the persuasion of Rolf, but only after he is forced to admit that Ike has indeed become stronger than him.
Shinon is often described as self-absorbed and having a bad attitude, his only friend being Gatrie, who he also criticizes. He dislikes Ike and dislikes laguz. Despite his Laguz hatred, he can support with Janaff and seems to respect him (support A), but largely because of his age and experience. He agrees to teach Rolf how to use a bow, but he forbids him to tell it to anyone in order to preserve his reputation. Despite his typical attitude, he appears to have a well-hidden soft spot for Rolf.
He is also implied to be a heavy drinker, as not only does his base conversations with Gatrie involve one paying for their bar tab (in the Japanese version), but Shinon has a scene in one base conversation where he gives Ike a drunken rant shortly before throwing up. It appears that he didn't have a very loving family, since he says his mother never hugged him.
