Loose thoughts about Jhin's background
After reading some bits of information we already have about Jhin I'm highly looking forward to release of his lore/additional content.(e.g. "A Good Death" like).
It's pretty much confirmed that Jhin's lore will shed light on a) Shen/Zed backstory with Kinkou Order and Shen's father involved. b) Noxian Invasion, which was partially retconned - we know it happened (Bard: The Mountain, several champion lores that will probably stay similar after change to new format), yet don't know why or how it has come to end (with Summoners retconned)... If we do, please enlighten me!
Yet, I have some aditional questions, that may or may not be covered by his lore.
Once an Ionian prisoner, but freed by shadowy elements within Ionia's ruling council, the serial killer now works as their cabal's assassin
1a). Let's forget about the fact of who prisoned him and for whom he works. I wonder if Jhin was hired (or told to do it as part of paying debt fo releasing him from prison) to kill important Noxian leaders - which forced Noxus to retreat from Ionia? Mind his taunt
I've been asked to do so many boring performances in your nation
1b) I believe that even after removal of IoW, disappereance of general du Coteau is still canon. Maybe it's Jhin who stands behind it?
- Could it be that Jhin murdered Yasuo's master? (He's an artist, I bet he can fake the wind technique) - mind his taunt towards him:
It's fun to kill a man, to take all that he had, and could ever have.
Jhin's mind works in his own way. He may murdered Yasuo's master as the first act of drama with Yasuo as the main character. By murdering his master he took all Yasuo had in his life.
Additional one: 3. Is his taunt toward Tahm Kench an example of breaking fourth wall? :D
How inelegant your words are. Surely a fool wrote your script.
Answer please :C
