Tamacti Jun

> Boy, I have forgotten more about killing than you will ever know. If you think because you have sight that that will even the odds between us, think again.

**Tamacti Jun** is the head of Queen Kane's army, and is most frequently seen carrying out her orders against Maghra's family and the rest of the Alkenny. As Royal Tax Collector and Witchfinder General for Queen Kane and the Holy Guardians of the Payan Kingdom, Tamacti Jun is a brilliant and violent general leading the army tasked with finding those with sight, specifically Jerlamarel and then the children of Jerlamarel, Haniwa and Kofun.

His sworn allegiance is to serve Queen Kane and he loyally follows laws and rituals set out by his ruler. This includes his duty to be commissioned for 20 years to find Jerlamarel and the twins. Wanting to follow Queen Kane's orders as a priority, he is willing to forgo his pledge to end his life on his own terms, in order to continue the pursuit of the twins with sight.

Despite his pledges to Queen Kane, upon finding out that she destroyed Kanzua, his loyalty to his men takes precedent, knowing their friends and families where killed in the destruction of the holy city. With fractured loyalty towards Queen Kane, Tamacti Jun moves for a new Queen in the form of Maghra. He moves forward by giving Queen Kane two options: abdicate and allow Maghra to rule, or lose her life. Upon the Queen refusing, with the influence of Cora, Boots stabs Tamacti Jun leaving the Witchfinder General for dead.

## Biography

Tamacti Jun served as the Witchfinder General and Royal Tax Collector for the Payan Kingdom. Pledged to serve twenty years, Tamacti Jun and his Witchfinder army were dispatched by the Queen to hunt down the heretic Jerlamarel. Acting on information from Gether Bax, Tamacti leads his army to the remote mountains on the edge of Paya, where it is believed that a woman is giving birth to Jerlameral's child. Tamacti sends a scouting force to engage the Alkenny tribe, led by Baba Voss, weakening their defensives and effectively trapping them on the mountain since there is no other way off of it.

Leading his army into a deserted village, Tamacti demands information from Gether Bax on where they could have gone. Gether is confused because there is no way off the mountain, but hearing the cries of the children, Tamacti discovers that there is bridge leading off the mountain. He sends Gether Bax across to test the bridge before sending his own men across, resulting in Gether rejoining the Alkenny just before Baba destroys the bridge. Having let the Alkenny escape, Tamacti composes a message to send to Queen Kane, informing her of his failure. Over the next seventeen years, Tamacti Jun led his Witchfinders in search of Jerlamarel and his children, without success. His forces interrogated villagers and razed villages throughout the land of the Sun Grave, and his progress was reported periodically to Queen Kane.
