[ex-darigan soldier]

Whatever you do, you'll regret it.
- Allan McLeod Gray, 1905-1975

---

The eldest of four siblings, Jaffar was caught up in the first Darigan War after leaving home to escape his dysfunctional family. The Citadel's bio-engineers grafted a set of wings onto his back in customary Darigan style and dyed his fur purple as a mark of his rank of field commander, a position earned through brilliance at military strategy. Unfortunately, it was this tactical genius that had Jaffar's unit selected for a covert excursion into enemy territory. A spy alerted the Meridell target, and Jaffar's unit found themselves heavily outnumbered in a trap. Most of his troops were killed on the field, and Jaffar himself was shot in the head. Even after the medics reconstructed his fractured skull, Jaffar still suffers from bouts of amnesia. Dismissed from the Darigan army for his injuries, he sought peace in the tropics.

A friendly and amiable soul, Jaffar tries to separate his violent past from his peaceful present in the Mystery Island archipelagos. His surviving siblings, engineer Luni and shaman Cyrintha, have settled in the islands as well. Life is finally serene, though the recent rumors surrounding the trio's sibling, allegedly-deceased cyborg designer Kori, are becoming disconcerting.

We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own
The garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a bow
I don't know if you're dead or not to anyone

The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk to anyone

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

Because they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life,
Tell all of your friends goodbye

Broken Bells, The High Road
