History

Those wretches brought those filthy monsters into our territory. I'd like to toss every last one of 'em out of here.

—  Jagwan

Jagwan was a renowned martial artist and esteemed leader of the scalehorde during the year HIY 300. Notably lively and good-natured for a scalehorde, he was known to have occasional mood swings.

Despite this, he commanded great respect from his followers and was generally considered helpful, albeit gruff, in his interactions. An important detail about Jagwan was his close friendship with General Damdin of the Holy Imperial Army, with Jagwan even permitting Damdin to marry his sister.

His first encounter with the Company occurred during their clash with Zaveed in the Apiro Hills. Jagwan played a pivotal role in driving away the Vermilion Axe, though he nonchalantly brushed off the hero's gratitude. However, he later offered valuable information about Sunil in the Apiro Desert and provided them a place to rest at the scalehorde camp at the Behemoth Grave.

When Machia Zaphir and the Order of the Gilded Leaf obstructed the Company's path to the House of Wisdom, Jagwan and his scalehorde soldiers valiantly rescued them once again. Accompanying the Company to the House of Wisdom, Jagwan's scalehorde instincts aided them in uncovering the machinations involving the Teras Pharma.

After the House of Wisdom's destruction, Jagwan left the Company temporarily to confer with his men before returning to support the Company for the remainder of the war. During an encounter with Radnin, he initially displayed disdain for the scalehorde's loyalty to Empress Astrid. However, after a fierce brawl, Radnin came to appreciate Jagwan's amiable nature, seeing it as a positive representation for the scalehorde's future.

As a member of the Company, Jagwan occasionally clashed with Tserendrum due to her reluctance to engage in martial arts. At the same time, Jagwan grappled with his own insecurities regarding his chosen path. He had trained as a martialist because Damdin had discouraged him from using a spear, asserting he lacked skill with it. Despite this, Ducas stepped forward to offer to train Damdin.

During the Company's infiltration of the Floating Fortress of Torgia, Jagwan found himself confronting his old friend, Damdin. Both men, stubborn in their own ways, engaged in a fierce battle. In the aftermath of Damdin's tragic demise, Jagwan grieved his loss, acknowledging that it wasn't the struggle between order and chaos that led to it but rather Damdin's own choices.

Following the barrier's downfall, Jagwan led his scalehorde clan across the Apiro Desert, ultimately settling in the southern plains where they founded a prosperous and prominent kingdom of scalehorde.
