[[header: Gehn]]
[[quoteright:140:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/menacing_6563.jpg]]
Atrus' father and the main antagonist of Riven. Gehn rules the [[JustBeforeTheEnd world of]] [[MeaningfulName Riven]] after his son Atrus, [[SealedEvilInACan removed all means of teleporting out of the world]], and exited in a manner that prevented him from following. Gehn was imprisoned due to Gehn's history of writing links to ages and playing God over the inhabitants, under the belief that writing the book that describes an age is an act of Genesis. Atrus wanted to prevent more cultures from falling prey to his Father's delusions of grandeur.

After the first game {{Myst}}, the player character returns to Atrus to be inserted into Riven. He/she is given a fake linking-book that appears to be a way back to D'ni, but is actually a one-man prison; to make a long story short, Atrus' wife Cathrine has become a hostage in Riven, being held prisoner by his scheming father.

After solving key puzzles in Riven, the player comes face-to-face with Gehn, who [[FauxAffablyEvil cleverly accepts that he has been in the wrong]] in order to garner sympathy. However, Gehn is more that willing to [[spoiler: commit murder, and will shoot the player dead if they mess up trying to lure Gehn into the trap]]. Thus, to get the best ending, the major puzzles must be solved.

* See [[{{Characters/Myst}} the Myst characters page]] for tropes associated with Gehn.
