Medium, Human, Champion
When Jhaan was young - old enough to remember a few years as a child and his blood mother and father, yet not long enough to know where it was - his underground village in the Darklands (Nar-Voth, the uppermost layer) was set upon by Lamashtu worshippers. They burned every house as they marched through town - slaughtering people inside their very own homes - as Jhaan and his parents ran through the village and towards the river, surviving those few moments by sheer luck. Jhaan’s parents hid him in a barrel, which they pushed into the river running through the village. The barrel floated downstream, and eventually after many hours, out of the Darklands and out to the open sea. The barrel and the boy were found after a few days by fisherman from Otari. They took him back with them; fed him, tried to learn what happened to him. But Jhaan had never left the Darklands at his young age. He certainly didn’t know how to get back home, or where to look. And he had been in the barrel for many days; he could’ve come from anywhere, and no one in Otari knew anything about a nearby village in the Darklands. So after a week of consideration, one of the simple fisherman took it upon himself to adopt Jhaan, eventually expecting someone might come to look for him. But no one ever came, and the fisherman eventually accepted he’d be raising him as his own son.
He schooled him, he taught him how to fish; he raised him as if he was his own. Jhaan did try to accept his new life, but he always remembered his old home, his mother and father that he loved, and what happened to them; likely death. He was generally a well-mannered and noble child - owing a lot to the fisherman that raised him through most of his years - but a part of him always held onto that terrible event, and the anger and hate that it caused. Feelings not only aimed at Lamashtu, but sometimes to the world itself. Jhaan grew up a fisherman, but was always driven by a need to set out into the world - to try and return home one day, with the skills to fix the wrongs that were done to him. It is with that goal at the earliest age possible that he signed up as a soldier with the local military, to get as much martial experience as he could. Still young, Jhaan has mostly served in Otari or the surrounding regions for his career so far, with his eventual journey out in the world to find his old home still to come. But in his time serving, he has made somewhat of a name for himself around town. While very effective at his job and very willing to help those who need it, he has a very short fuse in situations that involve individuals of particularly low-character. He has even been known to pre-emptively deal out his own justice on these individuals from time to time, and has suffered socially and been punished by the military for it several times; yet keeps his position simply because he is so good at keeping the peace.
Jhaan’s hate and anger festered even more throughout these years, and the satisfaction of dealing justice around Otari would not sate those feelings forever. Eventually, these feelings drew the attention of Baalzebul - the Lord of Flies - who had taken notice of a vengeful young Otari soldier and a cavern elf all on his lonesome from afar. Baalzebul telepathically contacted Jhaan one fateful night in the middle of his sleep, and offered his own power to Jhaan. All that was required in exchange was Jhaan’s worship of Baalzebul, and the promise to satisfy his lust for vengeance by one day using this power to defeat Lamashtu followers; and anyone affiliated with them. Naturally, Jhaan accepted this exchange and took Baalzebul as his deity. Despite his complicated upbringing and tumultuous time as a soldier - now a champion - he still harbours a deep gratefulness for his foster father who took him in and gave him a chance to live a fulfilling life. He also shares these feelings towards the fellow fisherman and villagers of Otari, though to a lesser extent. While he is not exactly the most lawful of champions and he satisfies his own need for justice when he can, he also does it for the good of the village he still lives in. And it is for that reason that as soon as he hears about trouble at the local fishery - the place where he grew up working and the place responsible for the livelihood of he town - he offers to investigate without hesitation.
