Backgrounds

Artifact ****
You wield Talaq's Greaver, a deadly weapon that is potent against Demons and with a particularly brutal past when used in the First Age by your old Incarnation.

Backing *****
You have achieved the position of Lungzao over the Rohan Military, and hold overall command of the Rohan Legions. Currently those legions are in no small disarray and suffering from appalling losses after the defeat of the Father in Yane, but they will be rebuilt...

Contacts ***
You have numerous contacts in the Legions (x2) themselves, as well as among the Great Council of Del`Roh, both organizations you've had a large hand in shaping during these tumultuous times.

Followers **
You have attracted a number of impotrant and vital followers, who will stand by you regardless of difficulty or horrors. These include Danta Fyrel (a heroic mortal, and your second in command), Tisia Zintoba (a notable, and your wife), and three normal Zin-Tets who have undergone Tiger Warrior Training.

Influence ***
You are a figure of no small influence in Nei`Roh, and by extention the South itself, having inordinate control over the people as well as both the Council and the Legions.

Resources **
You and Tisia live a fairly comfortable, if not affluent, lifestyle. Meals are frequent, if not huge in variety or interest, and you can afford such things as the occasional beer or minor frippery. You and your wife still live in a Tent, having let rebuilding occur in more vital areas.

Merits and Flaws

Virtue Speciality (2pt merit)
You are particularly good at following those you view as your leader, your conviction in this regard being almost unflappable. When acting such, you effectively have a Conviction of 4.

Tactical Instincts (3pt merit)
You have an intuitive understanding of tactics, from Gateway to the ways of the Battlefield. You can make a Wits + Lore roll at a normal dice action, enabling you to gain various tactical advantages in a given endeavor. Each success on this roll may subsequentially add dice to future pertinent rolls involving the situation in question.

Known Anathema (3pt flaw)
You are regarded as a great threat by the Wyld Hunt, and they would love to see you dead. You've already fought off Wyld Hunts, Outcaste Assassins, an Invasion, and other such things, and the Realm hasn't given up on your ending up dead just yet.

Throwback (3pt flaw)
Illhousen bears of the soul and memory of his First Age incarnation, Ashan, than usual and it has gotten somewhat worse since the defeat of the Father of Darkness. This ancient Solar carries with him centuries of old debts, blood feuds, and worse such attractions. It has the nature of Leader, and occasionally requires a Willpower roll (difficulty of your Essence) to avoid strange 'echos'.
