Wei Jin Sairus stands as the powerful Patriarch of the Wei clan, presiding over its people with the authority his title demands. His judgment of Lindon is shaped by clan custom and a deep insistence on order. When Li Markuth returns, Sairus is killed brutally, his head struck off and his heart torn from his chest, bringing his rule to a violent end.
Description
Sairus is a barrel-chested, powerfully built man with a thick beard that blends into a wild silver mane, giving him a lionlike silhouette. He wears elaborate purple-and-gold shadesilk robes and a jade scepter badge that marks his office. His broad features and commanding posture make him seem larger still, and the air around him appears to warp with his presence. His eye color is not specified.
