Vanjatsíren

Vanjatsíren Nen'Etshmedjátse was a weapon-master and commander of the Azure Army during the Thousand-Year war . He was famous for being a supremely skilled warrior with the bow as well as the obsidian-sword called Vtírjensh'te which was the weapon of choice in the early Thousand-Year War. He is most famously remembered for being one of the perpetrators of the Ikhjenirenite Conspiracy, which would unravel the balance between the Azure Army and the poet class for many generations to come. 
Nonetheless, Vanjatsíren was a competent commander and brought about several reforms to the Azure Army at the time. He introduced innovations such as distinct troop types with standardised equipment, and divided the army into divisions based on the constellations of the sky. He is also considered to be the spiritual successor of the great general. Shvreján Nen'Ekhír who won many astonishing victories against the black-bloods and whose death by old age left a vacuum in the Army leadership. Thanks to the conspiracy, his accomplice Ikhjetsjiren managed to convince the Shjevtyrín to appoint the young weapon-master into supreme commander of the Azure Army, giving the two of them almost supreme power of both the secular and military aspects of Shadowborn society. He led the army to several victories, including the battle of  Ash'jekala where he destroyed a host of 3000 black-bloods and captured 4000 more. He later perished, still fairly young, allegedly by a black-blooded assassin's blade.
Vanjatsíren had a successful military career and many historians consider him to have been a legitimate choice for supreme commander. Thus, although he took part of the conspiracy he, unlike his accomplice, is not vilified or considered to be a usurper by later records. His followers dominated the military until the dictator Káshtjenjir cleansed the general command of conspirators and established her own regime. However, remnants of his military reforms were still evident within the Azure Army even into the late Bronze Age.
