He was born from the spiritual waters in the **Gregashi Monastery** and thus posses a multitude of different abilities. He is most known for his battle with **Gerissen** that ended with him becoming imprisoned underneath the **Gregashi Monastery**.

## Early Life

*Jianhong* was born from the the naturally powerful spiritual waters in the mountain that would later become home to the Gregashi Monastery. A few centuries prior to *Jianhong*, the mountain was home to the Kapia Tribe which was an ancient civilization where *Lettcor* originally founded the Gregashi way of life. Through the mountains powerful waters, *Jianhong* acquired a multitude of supernatural abilities and powers. As a result of the great power he acquired from the mountain, *Jianhong* refused to leave, instead practising and mastering his newfound skills in almost complete isolation. No one ever visited or even attempted to settle around the mountain and so the existence of *Jianhong* went unknown, but that was soon about to change.

The Innovator, *Gerissen*, was a powerful Gregashi monk and was the second person to ever reach enlightenment through Gregashi. *Gerissen* had taken on the task of setting up the Gregashi Monastery. The Teacher, *Lettcor*, had suggested to settle the monastery at the mountain the Kapia Tribe used occupy. On arrival to the mountain, *Gerissen* was pleased to find that no one had settled there yet, giving him the approval to begin building. However this was not the entire truth. *Jianhong* soon awoke and confronted the Gregashi monk who was rather startled at first. *Jianhong's* intelligence was incredibly advanced which allowed him to figure out all his questions without having to say a word. *Jianhong* refused to stand aside and allow *Gerissen* to continue construction which resulted in a long and brutal fight. *Gerissen* was a powerful individual but even he knew he was no match for *Jianhong*. But through using the full power of Gregashi and the spiritual essence of the mountain, *Gerissen* was able to defeat *Jianhong*. *Jianhong* would later be imprisoned underneath the Gregashi Monastery by The Teacher, *Lettcor*.

## Personality

*Jianhong* is a very carefree yet mischievous figure, who above all else enjoys his freedom and free will. He is incredibly rebellious and is not often loyal to one particular side, but instead his own path. His incredible intelligence means that he can manipulate and deceive both his allies and enemies due to his sheer unpredictable nature. Despite all this, *Jianhong* is still incredibly noble and has a strong moral compass. Unlike some, he does have strict limits and is not afraid of performing small acts of service for the betterment of others. He enjoys helping those in dire need and will always break the chains to those seeking freedom.

*Jianhong* holds a great deal of contempt for the plethora of gods that are worshipped under the many religions of Iaddithis. He sees almost all of them as arrogant, hypocritical, dictators who thrive on the selfless acts mortals give to them in hopes of seeking assistance in their lives. This was one of the major reasons *Lettcor* originally imprisoned *Jianhong* under the Gregashi Monastery. Although *Lettcor's* opinion of gods and deities in other pantheons is similar to *Jianhong's*, the death of them would cause catastrophic consequences. *Jianhong* refused to promise to *Lettcor* that he would not battle the gods which forced *Lettcor* to imprison him.
