Jaegal Lin

* Novel
* Manhwa

**Jae-Gal Lin (제갈린** *Je-Gal-Rin***)** or more well-known as the **White Dragon Godly Doctor (백린의선** *Baek-Rin-Ui-Seon***)** is the master of Jin Cheonhee and the deuteragonist of the story, Doctor's Rebirth. He is one of the three heavenly doctors in Jianghu as well as the last survivor of the Jaegal Clan.

He suffers from a rare disease called the 'Nine Yin Severed Meridians', and had believed he wouldn't live past his 40s until Jin Cheonhee came along.

## Appearance

Despite being male, he is said to be extremely beautiful with long silver hair that reaches further down his waist, earning him the nickname White Dragon. He has light blue eyes and a pale complexion, with long eyelashes. In the beginning, he is seen wearing mainly a blue and purple robe with a white robe underneath and a dark grey coat. Due to his disease that causes him to have heat loss from the body, he wears thick layers of clothes and continues to do so even after Cheonhee cured his illness.

## Personality

Jaegal Lin is a cold individual who considers humans like insects, a huge contrast to his gentle demeanor that people often mistaken him to be kind. Before having met his disciple, Jaegal Lin had immense hatred for people, partly due to being raised in an unfavorable environment as a child. He is shown to be blunt and upfront with his answers, even calm when faced with an opponent despite his illness holding him back. As evident in his success for avenging his clan, Jaegal Lin is ruthless in killing his opponents and those who disrespect him, spilling blood without a care of the consequences. As describe by the Phantom Archer, Jaegal Lin does not seem human whenever he shows his true colors and this was later backed by Yeo Halyun saying "his eyes are colder than even the elders of the Demon Cult".

Despite his ruthlessness, Jaegal Lin can also be compassionate to those he care for, especially towards his disciple Jin Cheonhee. He is extremely protective, going so far as to willingly threaten his long-time subordinate, Yooho if he harms Jin Cheonhee. His obsession with Jin Cheonhee has grown to the point he would shackle him to bed if he gets hurt and sees his disciple's sworn brother as a threat. Considering his family has been massacred, leaving him alone in the world, Jin Cheonhee is the only person Jaegal Lin cares for, and is willing to live for in a world he considers full of insects. While he is often seen smiling, it is all but a facade, simply out of courtesy or for business with his real smile only reserved for Jin Cheonhee.

## Equipment

He uses a fan of unknown quality several times.

## Martial Arts & Abilities

As a member of the Jaegal Clan, he's regarded to be exceptionally smart, a genius who is able to comprehend what 'carbon monoxide' is and the cause of it with a few words from Jin Cheonhee. With the Jaegal Clan infamously known for their traps and formations, Jaegal Lin is a strategic genius, capable of absorbing newfound strategies and creating them at the top of his head.

Jaegal Lin is also responsible for the maze arrangements of many, if not all the White Dragon Clinics, meant to stop patients from meeting and fighting against each other if they happen to be healing at the same clinic.

Jaegal Lin is also very proficent at dealing with politics and is very sensitive to the consquences of actions taken around him, being easily able to detect and hypotheize what the outcome of any situation may be even through he is located from far the central of the Jianghu and lives in what most martial artist consider the outskirts.

## Trivia

* He's said to be the most beautiful person in Jianghu.
* His specialty is Acupuncture.
* He excels in herbal cuisine, or food requiring medicinal ingredients.
* He is good at bonsai.
* As one of the most powerful doctors in Jianghu, he has a lot of connections/friends, including in the Demonic Cult.
* Whenever Jin Cheonhee pouts or becomes grumpy, he likes to pull his disciple's cheeks or give him head pats.
* He is incredibly critical when it comes to food, eating only Jin Cheonhee's or famous masterchef's food.
* It was said that even the elders of the Jianghu, and even other clans are wary, if not afraid of him, even in his weaken state.
* He fought and lasted fifty strikes against Bloodborn Elder Devil, a devil who is much higher martial level than Jaegal Lin.
* He is known to brag often about his disciple to any one who talks to him. Its gotten to the point that most, if not all the upper echlon of the murim know who Jin Cheonhee is, and everything he's achived.
* Jaegal Lin will often make meals for his disciple, to the complete shock of everyone else because that is *just not done.* Traditionally, the student should be cooking for the master.
	+ Which is ironic considering that Jin Cheonhee can, and would cook for his master more often, but instead he is constantly pushed to rest.
* Jaegal Lin has a very low view of people in general, thinking of them as insects and tends to hold most of his secrets close to his chest.
* He is very fond of Jin Cheonhee's innocence and openness to the point that he tells his student to 'grow stronger so he can keep his values' i.e. not have to kill often, or at all. This was apparently so against the common sense of the murim where killing your opponent is the norm that quite a few people were taken aback at this.
* He gains an ice element as his elemental preference later on ironically enough, so even when his disease is mostly cured he still tends to exlude coldness which keeps most people away. Jin Cheonhee on the other hand, thinks the chill is very nice and spends even more time around his master to the complete shock of everyone else.
* People who know Jaegal Lin well are constantly wondering how he ended up such a good, upright, kind, and powerful disciple as Jin Cheonhee.
	+ This happens to such to an extent that some people even said this to Cheonhee's face, much to his confusion, and Jaegal Lin's anger/annoyance.
