🧵 Backstory Summary:
Once a merchant’s apprentice in Ar, Jaiko fled the city after a failed deal with a high-caste Builder. He arrived in Port Victoria alone, carrying debt and bitterness. Over years of ruthless dealings and hard-earned coin, he turned a decaying coastal tavern into The Branded Thigh—now a landmark of drink, discipline, and dangerous beauty. His kajirae are branded with his sigil, his ledger is always balanced, and his word is backed by both steel and silence.

He formed a rare bond with Cassia Avindar, a Physician’s apprentice, whose insight and healing hand temper his edge. Despite his cold exterior, those close to him know: Jaiko remembers everything—and forgets nothing.

Symbols of Authority:
Branding Iron (Thigh Mark) – used only on his property
Ledger Scroll – encrypted records of trades, tabs, and debts
Curved Merchant Dagger – handled more than it should be
Brass Keyring – opens every door and every collar in the tavern
Ka-la-na Flask – personal stock, untouched by slaves

The Branded Thigh (Tavern):
Coastal establishment known for its branded kajirae and elite drink selection
Kajirae are property—collared, trained, and seared with Jaiko’s sigil
No free labor inside; the entire floor is slave-run
Soren of the Sea plays nightly—songs without voice, stories without words
A mounted brand hangs above the hearth, glowing red from past use
Known to serve Ka-la-na, Paga, and spiced meads from distant ports
Regular clientele include traders, captains, slavers, and the bold few who cross Jaiko twice

🪶 Personality:
Cold. Strategic. Controlled.
Jaiko is a man who values order above indulgence, and strength above sentiment. He drinks because it steadies him, not because it weakens him. His kajirae fear his silence more than his hand. His Free Companion is the only one permitted to speak freely. He will kill for his coin, but he might die for his name.

🧩 OOC Notes (for roleplay use):

Master of the tavern and all its slaves
