King Jihkrif was the last of the first Cryodyns, and leader of the Red Diamond Clan. He was a cunning strategist, but after Cryovist perished, served his new master, Indunar. He lead his Icemen army and commanded the Ice Baron. He tried to invade Stathen and complete the Chaos Core for Indunar, but was stopped by the Heralds of Retha.

## Appearance

King Jihkrif is a light-blue Cryodyn with a crooked nose and yellow eyes. He is physically weak and somewhat short. He wears a black robe-like vest with the red diamond crest on it, and has red diamonds around his forehead. He wears curly brown shoes and carries around a golden scepter.

## Brief History

Jihkrif and his Red Diamond Clan were created by the warlock Cryovist, all for the purpose of conquering Stathen. After Cryovist gave the last of his essence to protect his Cryodyns, Jihkrif continued living in his Ice Fortress, deep in the abyss. He commanded a large army that consisted of over 300 Icemen, Guards, and the Ice Baron. He also had an alliance with Nirina.

Once Indunar was reawakened by the Heralds of Retha, Jihkrif became one of his followers. He supervised the creation of his army, so that he could go and invade Stathen once and for all. He started his invasion and headed for Stathen, but was met by the Heralds of Retha.

A war ensued. Jihkrif was confident that his army could defeat them, but they weren't winning. He even sent the Ice Baron to fight them, but he was overpowered as well. Jihkrif decided to retreat while he still had half his army, before any more casualties could ensue. Before leaving, Eljenai Alminak approached him; However, his protection spell so that no one could hurt him. He led the Heralds to his trap near the Vineyard Arena, and let them get caught so that he could escape.

For the next few days, Jihkrif supervised the re-expansion of his army and even started producing "special soldiers" with his Crystal Liquid. Now Indunar was spending more time on the base, so Jihkrif had to be more careful of his actions.

After the Heralds arrived at his Fortress, Jihkrif sent his army after them. He playfully watched the fight, as he knew the Heralds couldn't hurt him. This was until the Heralds tricked the Ice Baron into destroying his pillars, getting rid of his protection spell. After the Ice Baron was defeated, Jihkrif tried to make a run for it, but was swiftly killed by Pagranor Boquilak, ending the Red Diamond Clan.

## Equipment

* **Jihkrif's Scepter-** This scepter was made of gold and carried around by Jihkrif before his death. It symbolized his position of leader of his Ice Legion, and allowed him to control the rest of his Icemen Army. It was taken by Daniel Skrimir after his death.
* **Ice Pillars-** A trio of enormous ice pillars that remained in the ice castle, they would use Cryovist's essence to cast a protection spell on Jihkrif, that made attacks pass right through him, making him invulnerable. They were destroyed by the Heralds of Retha and thus Jihkrif's spell ended.
