Jin Shi – Serpentfolk Commander

Jin Shi – Serpentfolk Commander

Beastfolk, Yuan-ti (Fighter, Monk)

Coiled in a dynamic low-stance with a curved blade drawn and open palm outstretched, Jin Shi balances martial precision with ruthless tactical command. Clad in ornate eastern lamellar armor, pleated trousers, and a high hair bun, his poised stance project calculated aggression across the grid. Keepers will find this Artifact an ideal choice for a martial cult warlord, a disciplined boss duelist, or an elite battlemaster NPC.

Tabletop Lore

As supreme commander of the Cult of the Coiled Serpent’s military forces, Jin Shi has spearheaded the cult’s expansion since their arrival on foreign shores. Having suffered bitter defeats in Edrador that forced his order into exile, he views this new campaign as his ultimate opportunity for redemption. Unyielding and tactical, he moves across the battlefield with cold determination, intent on restoring his cult to its former glory regardless of the cost.

Highlight

The stark horizontal draw of his single-edged saber paired with a low, lunging martial stance creates a sharp, high-agility silhouette that immediately commands attention in combat scenarios.
