Jai Daishou
SupportingAn elderly man over eighty years old stands tall and straight with long flowing white metal hair cascading down his back like pale gleaming strands. His clean-shaven face shows deep wrinkles of age and frequently displays stern or cold expressions such as pursed lips or a cold smile. He wears pristine intricate white robes that never show a speck of dust, projecting an air of unyielding authority.
Jai Daishou, the iron-willed patriarch of the Jai clan, first appears as an imposing Underlord whose pristine white robes and flowing metal hair mark him as the embodiment of his family's ancient authority. Across the series he moves from a calculating rival to Eithan Arelius into a desperate combatant whose final duel in the Blackflame Trials seals both his fate and the decline of his clan. His arc is defined by ruthless ambition, a willingness to bind even his own blood with soul oaths, and an ultimate defeat that strips the Jai name of its former power.
