==Backgrounds==

===Artifact===
Rated: 3
His old war band and hunting party, along with a monstrous creature they hunted in the Deep Wyld.

===Birth===
Rated: 2
Created as a heroic commoner (a Warrior) as an Oath child, Ajin existed to lead a war band forged from the remnants of two others after a disastrous attack on creation. The surviving leaders swore oaths to forever unite their forces, and set Ajin as the one who held the responsibility of actually leading the forces.

===Gossamer===
Rated: 3
He has had a very successful time in securing lucrative raids of relatively unprotected Workers, vivid dreamers in the North, and spots where gossamer accumulates in the Wyld. None of it is a traditionally stable resource, and much of it is leftover after the conflicts of others. He is, after all, a vulture.

===Retinue===
Rated: 2
His old war band and hunting party, including his "parents" who now serve him since his ascension to nobility.

===Style===
Rated: 4
The Wyld loves someone committed to upheaval and sweeping aside what is, even if that includes the Wyld itself.

==History==
Ajin was formed as an Oath Child as part of the creation of a War Band / Hunting Pack. The Wake of Snow Vultures terrorized the north-east border of creation under the direction of the Anarch who formed Arjin. A hero among the commoners, Ajin craved from the moment of his creation. Not the desires of the Cup, but the ruin of things, the way it brought change. He saw building as a way to produce glorious ruins. Raising an army as a means to create a carrion field that provoked terror. Creation, he dimly considered, existed to go through endless degradation until it was the most epic of all ruins. A wrecked and broken shell. He heard rumour that the creators of it suffered such already.

When he gained a Way Grace by turning his talons on the right victim, he awakened to a greater desire. The Wyld itself had patterns and currents, forms and designs. It too must exist to be laid waste. He cannot begin to fathom what the ruins of limitless dreams and potential are, but he will find out by his talons and drive.

Until, of course, he turns his attentions elsewhere and changes his story as all Raksha must.

==Personality==
Despite growing in power, Ajin fundamentally remains a warrior that feasts on ruin. While he once sought only sites of likely battle, he feels compelled now to topple that which is said to be permanent. So far he has yet to turn his eye on Creation as a target, instead feeling the bitterness of life as a commoner still and focusing on that which is before him. The society of Raksha and the state of his birth that led him forever shaped draws his ire, and he takes it out on any that he can. Cruel with an intensity and commitment almost reminiscent of the Creation born, Ajin lays himself bare. His is a story without artifice or deceit. It is an ending, a final page, and he grimly glories in it.

==Goals and Motivations==
To see all things in ruin, to topple the social structure of a Freehold, and of all Raksha. To bring the high low and grind the low into dust.
