Jin

Jin is an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and a playable character in Torna ~ The Golden Country. He is the leader of the organization, and has unmatched prowess in battle, despite not wielding a Blade like most other fighters in Alrest.

Appearance and personality
Jin is a tall man with white hair and blue eyes. He wears grey armour with a white cloak, pants, and boots, as well as a white mask with horns. In battle, he wields a simple sword with a red crystal in the hilt.

Jin is very curt and businesslike. He says the minimum that he needs to say and no more, only opening up to those he greatly trusts. While he has the loyalty of all members of Torna, he does not divulge his plans to all of them, and is keen to do things alone when he can.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Jin first appears as part of the elite salvaging crew hired by ; he is the one who explains to Rex that something was lost very deep in the Cloud Sea. Once that something - an old ship - is raised, he suggests that Rex joins the search inside. This pays off when they find doors sealed by Addam's Crest, which can only be opened by a Leftherian. Inside, Rex finds the Aegis, and touches its core crystal. Jin immediately kills Rex as an "act of mercy". However, Rex is revived by Pyra becoming his Blade, and the two escape the ensuing confrontation. Jin decides to have Akhos pursue them rather than give chase themselves.

Jin and Malos later return to their hideout underneath the Cloud Sea where they are greeted by Akhos and Obrona. Malos asks about the whereabouts of Patroka and Mikhail. Akhos answers that Mikhail is inspecting the Abandoned Factory in Mor Ardain, while his sister is hunting Drivers. He then notifies Jin that a shipment of Core Crystals are heading to Indol; Jin volunteers to intercept it, and sends Malos and Akhos after Pyra.

Torna ~ The Golden Country
Jin is a Blade, the so-called "Paragon of Torna". Unlike other Blades, his Core Crystal is on his forehead rather than the chest, and it turns blood red after he becomes a Flesh Eater. In his form as a Flesh Eater, Jin's armour is replaced with a black exoskeleton, with short featherless wings coming out of his lower back. His chest is exposed, revealing a scar over his heart.

As Lora's Blade, Jin is the stern and silent type, but still occasionally cracks some jokes. He values the safety of his Driver above anything else and will use any means necessary to keep her safe. After Lora dies and Torna is destroyed, Jin sinks into depression; he becomes convinced that all human life should be eradicated, so that no more Blades can be awakened and feel the pain of knowing they will one day forget their Driver. He holds a particular animosity towards Indol, both for their control of the Core Crystals, and because they are led by Amalthus, whom he despises for destroying the remnants of the Tornan people. He also plans to kill the Architect out of spite for creating the world once he achieves his goal of destroying humanity. Eventually, Rex's optimistic spirit causes him to have a change of heart, giving Jin a newfound view of life and the role of Blades in the world.
