Growing up as the son of the Igen Weyrleaders, G'nen always felt pressure to look the part, so he was careful about his appearance. While on the Southern Continent nice clothing was harder to come by, especially before the founding of Katila, but G'nen did his best to remain presentable whenever possible. He nearly cried in joy the first time he went to a textile market after the return North.

701 AL & Birth: Gedrenen is born to Wenon and K'tios.
703 AL & 2 Turns: Gedrenen's parents become the Igen Weyrleaders. Being 2 Turns old, he hardly notices the difference.
706 AL & 5 Turns: A bit of a terror as a child, Gedrenen is all smiles and laughs, and despite all the trouble he gets into no one can stay mad at him for long. Has a particularly scary experience where he gets himself trapped in a barrel for several hours before he's found.
713 AL & 12 Turns: At 12 Turns Gedrenen is first allowed to Stand at Hatchings. He does not Impress in this year, which he finds somewhat disappointing, but he also kind of wants a dragon from one of his parents' dragons' clutches.
714 AL & 13 Turns: His wish is granted, and Gedrenen Impresses brown Yanth from one of Jormath and Teglioth's clutches.
715 AL & 14 Turns: The Plague starts, and G'nen is deeply afraid for Yanth and his family.
716 AL & 15 Turns: Upon hearing of Katila's order that all of High Reaches Weyr escape South, K'tios and Wenon give the same order to Igen. K'tios stays in Igen, for by then Teglioth has fallen ill. G'nen begs his mother to accompany him South with Yanth, and she agrees.

The journey across the ocean is difficult for the small group, as Yanth is barely full grown. G'nen and Yanth are young and inexperienced, so Wenon shares her memories of Jormath's flying with Yanth to help him make the journey. They manage to find a small, isolated bay where they build their new home. G'nen and Yanth do most of the work in the beginning, as Wenon is somewhat out of it.
718 AL & 17 Turns: While searching for food, G'nen and Yanth are attacked by Felines. They successfully fight them off, but Yanth is permanently scarred by the experience, with claw marks all along his left leg. With Wenon's help, they manage to make a poultice to keep infection away from the wounds. Yanth recovers from the experience, though his left leg does get stiff in colder weather ever since.
720 AL 19 Turns: Yanth hears Nirinath's Call, and the three agree to reunite with the other dragonriders. Wenon and G'nen approve of the choice to stay in the South for the most part, as it is important the dragonriders are respected by the rest of Pern, and they are currently in a bit of a shambles. Staying long enough to re-establish themselves more fully is worthwhile.
721 AL & 20 Turns: G'nen learns that his uncle, S'ros, died while on the Southern Continent. His surviving weyrmate, Ah'gre, moved in with him and his mother.
722 & 21 Turns: G'nen was rather popular among the women of Katila, as he was one of the younger full dragonriders, which some women seemed to find appealing. As a 21 turn old man who had been alone with only his mother for human company for four years, he took to this very enthusiastically.

When people began working against Tsuen, G'nen had no interest in joining. Whatever he felt personally, she was the rider of their queen dragon,
and therefore was in charge. He also agreed that staying South made more sense than going North when they were still fractured.
724 AL & 23 Turns: His first known child, a girl named Galatea, is born to a serving woman. He has no permanent relationship with the mother, but he tries to be part of Galatea's life when possible.
729 AL & 28 Turns: Galatea's mother dies of illness, and the girl moves in with G'nen, Wenon, and Ah'gre.
732 AL & 31 Turns: Ah'gre dies of illness, and Skaith goes Between. G'nen had grown close to his 'uncle' and mourned the man's death.
734 AL & 33 Turns: Wenon, G'nen, and Yanth survive the Landslide fairly unscathed, as survivors go.
The return North is announced. G'nen is excited at the prospect of returning North, the home of his childhood, though he knows he will miss the Southern Continent. He worked so hard to make it work and make it his own
735 AL & 34 Turns: Wenon rides North with G'nen and Yanth, and they move into Telgar.
736 AL & 35 Turns: G'nen and Wenon go with the group repopulating Fort. He brings Galatea with them as well.
738 AL & 37 Turns: Starts working as a Fort Weyrlingmaster Assistant.
741 AL & 40 Turns: First Weyrling class where he is the main Weyrlingmaster.
