Brief
Underlord Jai Daishou is an old man, the Patriarch of the Jai Clan in the Blackflame Empire. He is the only Underlord in the clan, and fruitlessly seeks a powerful heir, knowing he will die soon. He lives in Serpent’s Grave, in a palace on Shiryu Mountain, but his clan originated in the Desolate Wilds in the western region of the empire.
Patriarch Jai Daishou is a proud man, ranked the seventh most powerful Underlord in the empire. He likes to call Eithan Arelius “Eleven” because he was ranked four slots beneath him.
Feud w Jai Long
Daishou’s main enemy in the Jai clan is [[Jai Long]. Long hates the clan leader because he coldly abandoned his little sister Jai Chen, only six years old, and exiled himself, only 13 or 14, after they were attacked and seriously injured in childhood.
Feud w Arelius
He waged a deadly feud against Underlord Eithan Arelius and his janitorial family and staff in Serpent’s Grave. This takes place in books 3 and 4, Blackflame and Skysworn:
Arelius Feud
Patriarch Jai Daishou was a proud man. He was ranked the seventh most powerful Underlord in the empire. He felt Eithan Arelius — only ranked eleven — didn’t show him enough respect. The two clashed violently. Jai Daishou ordered his clan to sabotage and vandalize Arelius janitorial holdings in Serpent’s Grave (Blackflame ch 3). He later orchestrated a city-wide assassination of all family members of House Arelius — the Blackflame Branch. His clan killed many, but his plan didn’t quite succeed. (Book 3, Blackflame)
The Jai clan has all but declared war on our family.”
“All but?” Yerin repeated. “Is it war, or no war?”
“If they declared it openly, the Emperor’s forces would cripple the aggressor in a day. But the Skysworn stay out of the petty squabbles between clans.
