Jai Elder
MinorA Truegold master whose silver hair forms a helmet-like crown, his tall spear serving as both weapon and walking stick. His white beam techniques mark him as a practitioner of significant power within the Jai clan hierarchy.
The Jai Elder first appears in Blackflame as a silver-haired Truegold spear master whose white-beam techniques embody the Jai clan’s rigid martial tradition. Though his role is brief, his presence marks the clan’s early antagonism toward Lindon and Yerin, foreshadowing the larger clan-wide conflict that unfolds in later volumes. Across the series, the Elder’s defeat and the subsequent fall of the Jai clan become a turning point that accelerates Lindon’s rise and forces the remaining Jai survivors to reckon with their diminished status.
