I still find myself amazed to think that Gen is young in Thief. I mean, he's obviously not old, and yet he's mature... it's misleading. And compare him to Sophos at that point... *shrugs*
I think you're right about Gen underestimating his own worth, but I have to wonder if at least some of the outrage over his de-handing in Queen was generated by his feat with Hamiathes Gift. Obviously Eddis herself and his family would have felt the same regardless, but perhaps the feeling of the Court in general was warmer towards him after the fact of his essentially saving Eddis' sovereignty.
