J’kharni is a centuries old pure-blooded Vampire Lord from Elsweyr who runs a mercenary guild in Falkreath called Ketri-katatajna, or Playful Bite, which is run very much like a mafia. His rivals are the Companions, Skyrim’s own special mercenary guild, which, ironically, are secretly werewolves. By his side are his two trusted bodyguards, Ko’misha and Zayuln, who share a history with him as vampire lords from the cult they all left behind. He appears as a fit, anthropomorphic feline with plantigrade legs. He has yellow-orange eyes with very narrow black slits and black sclera. His fur is light brown with manila and lighter brown markings, black stripes and spots, and long, reddish-brown hair that he usually keeps draped across his left shoulder. He has three scars on the right side of his snout. His mouth is curled, making him look like he’s permanently smiling, and his fangs simply look like an average Khajiit’s canines. He has three bronze piercings on both ears with the bottom piercing sporting a Senche tooth. J’kharni comes off as a wise, caring and responsible leader despite his young looks. He is a confident, smooth-talking and generous individual, and can get out of just about any situation through his charismatic words (and sometimes with his vampiric abilities). Despite being very large for a Cathay Khajiit, he doesn’t take advantage of his size unless absolutely necessary. He prefers to use his words to settle conflicts, or, if need be, using his appearance to seduce someone. He is a very patient individual and bides his time to achieve his goals, but he is also ambitious and power-hungry, building his own empire as the leader of a less-savory mercenary guild. Deep down he has a cruel streak, and likes to crush his enemies or dominate someone in battle, drinking their blood like a crazed animal. His given name is Kharni, but he calls himself J’kharni to signify he’s a bachelor. He does not plan on marrying any time soon due to his vampirism. And his romantic appetite. He does not know who his father is (nor does his mother), nor does he really care to know since his mother and the clan were all that mattered to him in the past. J’kharni used to be claustrophobic as a child. He sometimes still has nightmares of being buried alive in a coffin as a child— a hazing ritual he underwent in order to prepare for his undead future. He becomes wistful in burial crypts now, and may become distracted enough to where you can easily spook him. He absolutely adores children, and wants to adopt one someday. He would make a great father, albeit a little controlling and overprotective, but he still has a lot of trauma to heal from before he can be ready. He developed a winter coat when he came to Skyrim. It seems that people keep thinking he’s a tiger due to his markings, but no; he’s a mix of a bobcat, cougar and lynx. And lastly he’s bisexual.
