Ikhjetsjiren

Ikhjetsjiren Nen'Ájets was a courtier and advisor to the Shjevtyrín during the Thousand-Year War . During the height of his career, he was one of the most influential men in the whole state of Vht'shjenjé. He was a charismatic, intelligent and ambitious man who held high ideas for the future of his state in the midst of the brutal war against the black-bloods. He was a close associate of Vanjatsíren Nen'Etshmedjátse , and together they conspired to overturn the delicate balance of power between army and poets/clergy that permeated Shadowborn society at this time. Although his associate became the front of their plan, it is generally accepted that Ikhjetsjiren was main driving force behind their plot.
The eloquent and elegant man was almost universally loved within the court and especially by the Shjevtyrín herself whom he had wrapped around his finger. For this, he found his most fervent rival in the handmaiden Essjentír who grew to passionately hate Ikhjetsjiren and fought bitterly for the Shjevtyrín's favour. It is often suggested that the assassin who murdered Essjentír was indeed a pawn working on Ikhjetsjiren's behalf. He himself had an assassination attempt upon him, though, the assailant remains unknown to his day. He recovered from the poisoning attack though and could resume his plans.
The Ikhjenjirenite conspiracy brought about a long period of enmity and even outright infighting between the poet and army classes. The conspiracy was eventually ended during the short dictatorial regime of Káshtjenjir, though the instability remained for several generations long after their passing. 
Ikhjetsiren appears as a villain in the infamous novel The Handmaiden , a fictionalised account of Essjentír's life and her alleged romance with the Shjevtyrín.
