The Jade Rider

"...the Jerisain Sun burns behind his eyes, and his foes will weep red tears when they witness the light."

Saechyn of Clan Mye, also known as The Jade Rider, was the defacto-leader or Imizai of the Jerisain Sun, a prominent anti-Imperial movement during the early 1750's. His moniker stemmed from his infamous jade suit of armour, which belonged to his late father during the Yrdai-Tokahni War, and his tendency to battle astride a domesticated black callion. He was also an innamapath with the ability to break blood vessels, which became an intimidation tactic against his foes. This ability made him infamous and a thing of legend, and children were often told the tale of a green monster who could drain their blood just by looking at them.

History
Kovo was born in 1716ASR in Jheganj, Quaydesh, the second-youngest of four children to Rivo Tovozi, a descendent of the Mye clan. His mother's identity is unknown, and it is speculated that his siblings do not share the same mother. He was born into relative poverty, but his family stuck together during the periods of their father's absence in the military. He was ten years old when news of the Yrdai-Tokahni War broke out, and only learned of his country's involvement when the might of the Yrdain Empire struck his city first during the invasion. After living in hiding for a few weeks, Kovo was found along with his family by Imperial troops when his father killed a senior officer. They were brought to the Primonarch's staging ground, which had been set up outside Jheganj, and lined up before JaihkunII. Along with his father, two of Kovo's siblings were executed by the Primonarch and his sons, leaving him and his elder sister Xonia Sei to survive the war on their own.

At some point in his early teens, Kovo joined a militia that would eventually become the Jerisain Sun, along with other orphans of the War. Little is known about his time or involvement within the group, but it can be assumed his effort and loyalty to the cause was the main driver behind his following. His grudge against the Primonarch and the Empire as a whole stayed with him into the late 1740's, when the movement was becoming a genuine threat to the Satese government, which was now a vassal of the very Empire that razed their cities. As a grown man, he adorned his father's ancestral Quaydeshi armour in tribute to both the dead and the 'Great Cause', and was rarely seen without it. Around the same time, he had earned the respect of the Jerisain Sun when he tamed a black callion - a beast widely believed to be untameable - and trained it to accept him as its rider. This accolade earned him the title 'The Jade Rider' and Imizai of the Jerisain Sun. The title was used so often that his real name was largely forgotten, and he became something of a legend throughout Satus.

By 1750, Kovo was ready to enact vengeance on the new Primonarch, RorymIII, whose flag still waved across his country nearly two decades later. He first targeted the loyalists among the Satese population, hoping to secure the Jerisain Sun a position of absolute power in Satus before taking on the Yrdain Empire.

Innamactic Awakening
The trauma of witnessing his family's slaughter led Kovo to uncover his innamactic power, one that would cause much suffering to those near him before he was able to control it. As with all innamapaths, his power manifested through anxiety and stress, things he fell victim to a lot during his youth. The specifics and mechanics behind his power is unknown, and is in the grand scheme of innamactia a lesser power that is unable to outright kill anyone, but it is clear he is able to consciously damage blood vessels within the victim's body. He could inflict significant, instantaeneous bruising across large areas, or even cause orrifices to bleed. His trademark act of terror was to force his enemies to cry blood until they were weak enough to comply.
