Background[]

Early life[]

Jhin is assumed to have spent most of his life into early 20's on theIonianprovince ofZhyun. Not much is known about his family life, except for his father's martial arts school. His father's career was snuffed out by the success ofWuju.

Jhin had been slaughtering farmsteads and scores of travelers for an unknown period of time before he was persued byMaster Kusho,Usan, andShen. He began his work in the ages spanning from 19-21, working primarily with knives. For a little more than four years, the three men pursued Jhin and were far from the first to have hunted him down. In the final stages of the three men's investigation, they discover that he is a mere stagehand working forZhyun's traveling theatre and opera houses under the name, "Khada Jhin". This is not his real name, the real one remains a mystery.

Events leading to imprisonment[]

Master Kusho, Zed, and Shen followed Jhin's movements toJyom Passon theGhajanriver.  Zed chased Jhin down only to get knocked out by the handle of his blade. Jhin captured the young acolyte and tied him to a chair looking out towards the dock. Before Zed wakes up, Jhin takes the amulet off his neck. Zed wakes up to Jhin chiding him to look up, saying that he'll want to see Yevnai before she dies.  Jhin goes on about how boring and symmetrycal Yevnai's face is in contrast to the situation which was "glorious" . Zed begins to cry at seeing Yevnai on the dock before her "final moments".  After Jhin goes on about the tragic connections between Yevnai, Shen and Usan, the captive Zed begs for Jhin to not harm her, admitting that they were following him and noting that Yevnai, "didn't do anything". After saying he'll do anything, Jhin asks about the amulet that he took from Zed. Zed then concedes that it is a symbol of theKinkouand that the amulet allows them to find him. Shen, presumably having found Zed, punches through the wall and pins Jhin's neck to the wall. Zed declares that the whole thing was a set-up, that he was the bait, and takes Jhin's 4th knife, lunging at the man to kill him. Master Kusho appears in the nick of time, saving Khada Jhin's life.[1]Kusho believes that because Jhin is not a realdemon, he should be locked away at the monestary prison inTuula.

Khada Jhin was sentenced to life in the Tuula monestary prison. Jhin revealed as little about himself as possible during his many years there. The monks that guarded him said he was a "bright student". He excelled at a myriad of subjects, mostly in the arts, (i.e. smithing, poetry, and dance). Despite this, they could find nothing to cure him of his morbid fascinations. During his time in jail, the Noxian invasion began, and it is due to Ionia's instability during this time that his patrons funded him and released him from jail to terrorize the citizens of Ionia into action.

Release from Prison[]

Jhin, post-Tuula, is freely roaming, bound only by his patrons. Those weaponizing Jhin include: theKashuriArmories, as their weapons are relatively moderized for Ionia. Supposedly Jhin has also done performances for theNavori Brotherhood,Noxus, and most recentlyZaun. Zed, when faced with Jhin's sniper rifle for the first time remarked that it was a "foreigners weapon". He has been described at this point in his life as both an assassin and an instrument of terror.[2]

Post-Imprisonment[]

Jhin was released some time after the war with Noxus. The timeline of his actions right after his release from prison is unclear, but he eventually sends a messenger out toZed. She, the messenger, rows a small boat (with one of Jhin's lanterns on it!) out to theKwol Tavernwhere she finds Master Zed and delivers him a message about a "rich man" wanting to meet him in the village north of theThonx outskirts; she gives Zed a blade attuned to his spirit wrapped in a red cloth which was the "rich man's" supposed thank-you-gift.[3]Jhin kills four people before the Order of Shadow arrive: two unidentified people, the messenger, and the woman whose leg was amputated by Zed and Kusho 16 years prior. This time span makes Jhin about 38 to 39 years old currently.

Appearance[]

Jhin is a tall, slender, pale-skinned man. He has black hair and brown eyes (he is seen only using one, however his eyes are perfectly fine, he covers one because he enjoys the lack of depth during his "performances").

His most noticeable feature is his theater mask that he wears constantly when performing as Khada Jhin. It is implied that he has an average face that allows him to easily blend in when in a crowd. Typically, he wears a large white cloak  as well as elegant Ionian attire. He refers to his attire as his "finery" and at times uses the middle half of his gun as a cane to announce his presence and to rhythmically tap on the ground.[4]

Personality[]

Despite his theatrics during murders, much of his day-to-day personality is reserved and quiet; it's not very memorable which he takes advantage of with his performances. Within the ranks of theNavori Brotherhood, the few that know him consider him a weirdo.[1]His inner voice is one of attentiveness, almost to the point of obsession, like when he cleans the stock of his gun. When interacting with the people around him, he seems to analyze their attributes. The man is internally self-deprecating, as it is mentioned that "normally, [his appearance] elicited pangs of self-conscious loathing". When it comes to his performances, he's willing to take risks which makes sense due to his psychopathy. He's also notably grandiose, carrying himself with an air of haughtiness.

Abilities[]

• Calligrapher:Talented in artistic writing.
• Musician:A talented musician, particularly with the Runeterran equivalent of a violin and piano.
• Painting:A talented painter, particularly with oil based paints.
• Singing:Jhin shows some talent with singing. Often than not, he could be heard humming tunes during his work.
• Smith:All of the weapons he uses were designed by him. The Kashuri armories reverse engineered Piltovan and Zaunite technology with the addition of Ionian spirit magic.Whisper:Although he did not craft the gun himself, he did influence its design and he does craft his own magic-infused bullets.[2]The gun itself, is already magical due to beingHextech.Mass Accelerator:The device Jhin carries on his shoulder is a Hextech-powered mass accelerator that in turns powers and loadsWhisperwhen it'sfully assembled.[5][6]
• Serial Killer:Infamous murderer, Jhin is well known for his elaborate kills. Using his specialized weapons, he is able to morph his victims into gruesome and warped artistic displays of his own design and madness.Ki Blades:Before the Kashuri armories granted himWhisper, Jhin used to 'perform' with blades powered by Ki techniques passed down from his father'.[4]

Relations[]

Shen&Zed[]

Jhin has some resentment towards Shen and Zed for catching him and imprisoning him. During each of his encounters with both Shen and Zed, he would leave a trail of gruesome deaths behind him, which would forever change the two ninjas. After he was released, Jhin would force Zed and Shen to work together so he might kill them both for catching him years before. He attacked Zed, Kayn and theirorder, killing some of the members.

Kusho[]

As the main reason for his imprisonment, Jhin holds some resentment towards the Kinkou master. However, after Kusho fakes his death with the help of Zed and becoming the leader of theNavori Brotherhood, Kusho unleashed Jhin to terrorize and get control ofIonia. Jhin knows the truth about the circumstance of Kusho's "death" and could have revealed to Shen if he had wanted to but didn't as he realized Zed was going after Kusho.

Akali[]

Akalitracked Jhin down toPiltover-Zaunand was captured by him, but was later saved with the help ofShenandZed.

Sona[]

Jhin has some interest in killing Sona for being a very famousIonianartist who is taking the spotlight away from his 'performances'.

Trivia:
Jhin's Deutsch/German title,Der Virtuose, is the masculine form ofSona'stitle,Die Virtuosin.
His dance references theLezginkadance.A side-by-side comparison can be seenhere.
Jhin is the first champion who does not actually appear in his own Splash Art.Jhin is the second champion to have a Loading screen and Portrait icon not focus the actual champion, in his case, focus on the mirror image. The first one isLeBlanc.
Jhin is the first champion to feature a takedown animation on his Classic skin, viaBeauty in Death. It should be noted however that the passive effect is not solely for cosmetic purposes.Despite being the only one seen in-game, the rose is just one of the many things he sees when killing someone.[2]
Occasionally when playing as Jhin, at the start of the game (between your team spawning at the fountain and then minions doing so at nexus) the player can hear a version of the map's theme that fits the style of Jhin's own.
As Jhin, triggeringThe CollectorDeath and Taxeswill cause the damage indicator to display as "4444" instead of "999". This change was added onV12.19.
