Jin

Jin is a playable character in Torna ~ The Golden Country and an antagonist in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. In Torna ~ The Golden Country, he is Lora's Blade. In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, he is the leader of the organization. He joins Rex's team twice as a guest character and can also be played in Titan Battleship Assault in the Challenge Battle mode.

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, which was given to him by Lora to hide his identity. 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.

In Torna ~ The Golden Country, Jin is the stern and silent type, but still occasionally cracks some jokes. He values the safety of his driver Lora above anything else and will use any means necessary to keep her safe. In the main game of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Jin has depression, due to the death of Lora near the end of Torna ~ The Golden Country. He rarely speaks anymore, only vaguely revealing his motivations to the party on a few occasions. His pessimistic way of thinking leads him to believe that all human life should be eradicated so that no more Blades can be awakened and be brought upon 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. Only by the end of the game, 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, before he uses the last of his powers (sacrificing himself in the process) so the party can stop Malos.

Story arc
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 Ahkos pursue them rather than give chase themselves.
