Zajha was the leader of Insurgence and one of the founders of the first Slayers guild Defiance. He was considered the strongest in terms of combat prowess and the most intelligent of the bunch.

## **Description**

Zajha was a very mysterious man as no one knows exactly what he looks like other than his lover Euphie. According to the legends though he was depicted more on the younger side compared to everyone in Insurgence. He wore some strange mage's cloak that couldn't be inspected further as he cloaked himself in shadows. It is said that he had glowing yellow eyes that looked more like a creature's eyes than a human's eyes.

## **Personality**

No one really knows about Zajha's personality other than Euphie as in the two legends about him contradict each other. In the legend known as The Voided hero, He was a very quiet and kind soul who would help those in need no matter how small it was. He was unable to speak a word of common and spoke in what is now referred to as the forbidden language of Void Speech. He cared very deeply for his comrades and would sacrifice his own life to keep them safe. In the legend Reaper of the Void he was a very evil and ruthless mage who pursued lost and forgotten knowledge and forbidden magic and would stop at nothing to get it even if it ran the risk of potentially wiping off a nation off the map. He didn't care for his comrades at all and manipulated Euphie into a relationship in order to get personal visions of what he was seeking. In both legends though it is noted that he was very difficult to anger but once angered that the world will end due to the wrath of Zajha and the only things left behind are flames and shadows.

## **Abilities**

Zajha was a talented mage and possibly the best mage in the history of magic. He studied and used difficult and forgotten magics that not even expert mages could comprehend. Zajha favored using his native magic known as Void magic but also used various other spells. Zajha notably possessed a powerful Slayer Art known as Forsakened Soul. Exactly what it can do was unknown, but it was immensely powerful in both offense and defense and only matched by the Blessed Soul which was possessed by Tobias.

## **History**

Zajha presumably created and led the group of Insurgence for many years before Dephiron fell into the ruined world it is now. He aided creating the first Slayers guild Defiance. Zajha never passed down any of his magic he created or magic from his native land and instead passed down documents written in Void Speech, which nobody still knows anything about what those documents contain. Zajha viewed Tobias' way of teaching as mundane and never really got along with him after the guild was created. After the creation of Defiance he made a branch within the guild known as School of the Void for those that wanted to learn magic. Zajha studied a lot of lost and forgotten artifacts and knowledge where he became obsessed and often left on his own in search of more.

After years went by, Zajha enlisted the help of all of all of Insurgence except Euphie to take down the forsaken god known as The Faceless. none of the four members returned back to Defiance and never passed down his Slayers Arts, and is believed that it was forgotten along with him.
