He is extremely loyal to Sesshōmaru, often praising his master's greatness, although Sesshōmaru usually ignores and sometimes abuses him. Jaken himself is not especially powerful, but he wields the Staff of Two Heads, a fire-throwing staff that Sesshōmaru gives him.
==History==
The manga explains little about Jaken's past, but the anime shows that Jaken was once a lord among similar demons.
After Rin gives birth to Towa and Setsuna, Jaken is tasked with protecting them after Sesshōmaru hides them in the forest of Tree of Ages.
