Jajak Otroka (concept)
Ruling over a massive Khatanate in the Aironoian steppe, Jajak Otroka was a powerful Öltenic warlord that lived at the tail end of the Twelfth Century. During the Imperial Civil War, Axiaothea sent envoys to the Ölteni, ordering them to join her forces. The prideful Jajak not only dehanded her envoy, but also demanded the restoration of the Ölteni's ancestral rights, else he would claim the life of her greatest warrior and lay his head upon her palace step. Axiaothea declared Jajak an outlaw in response, leading him to assemble a horde of a size unseen for centuries in Aironoi.
He then descended upon the Aversarian legions commanded by Agos Slyn, taking them by surprise at the Battle of Baytor's Grave. In the midst of the battle, Jajak was enraged at the sight of Akhasar bearing what seemed to be the legendary Iorne Seld, which led him to charge headlong at the Aversarian lines, getting pierced with no less than six arrows in the process. He survived the battle however, and later reappeared with his horde at the Battle for the Aironoiakaan.
Unfortunately, Jajak failed to slay Agos Slyn at the final battle, and upon later hearing of the latter's self-inflicted death from passing refugees, reportedly screamed in such fury that the mountains themselves shook. Jajak then discarded all forty-eight masks he had gathered over his life, and in a move considered horrifying to the Ölteni, cast off his own mask and threw it down a canyon.
He then rushed his horse southwest into the Redlands in a mad fury, declaring that he no longer had the right to name himself Öltenic.
