MISC. INFO

A note about naming conventions: Chinese individuals write their family name first and then their given name. In a westernized context, his name is Jingyi Zhuan.

Jingyi often communicates with allies via whistles and bird chirping, though will also utilize other methods such as morse code and hand signals.

Jingyi does not rationalize his behavior as “The Goat” in ways others can. While there is bitterness toward the circumstances, he does not consider them a motivating factor for the sacrifices. Rather, to Jingyi, the sacrifices are simply made for Yalung.

BACKGROUND.

Jingyi was born and raised in Yung Shue Wan alongside his sister, Yao Hu, and lived a quiet life along the coastline. His father and mother both owned a restaurant within the town named Pok Liu Kitchen, which Jingyi came to claim ownership of in his later teen years. Things ran smoothly with the family and its restaurant, especially considering that the town had become a popular spot for tourists and retirees alike. One day, a group of well-dressed men from the mainland had come into the quaint restaurant and took notice of Jingyi as he served them, noting that there were ‘many more opportunities for a young man such as himself than serving tourists and earning the bare minimum. When he requested they elaborate, they simply gave him an address and a time before leaving. Curious, and wanting to do well with his family, Jingyi took the ferry to the mainland that weekend and met with the mysterious men. He had discovered, albeit much too late to turn back, that the men were part of the Min Empire. From there, the rest was history.

Jingyi worked with the Triad until the group moved to Kyrat alongside Pagan Min and Yuma Lau during the Kyrati Civil War, and allied themselves with the Royalists in their struggle. After they stormed the palace by force, they killed the distant heir to the throne and betrayed the Royalists, successfully making a hostile takeover. At the ripe age of 21, Pagan Min was now the King of Kyrat, and Jingyi was one of the king’s men. He was initially tasked with guarding key members or sensitive locations in Kyrat, such as Pagan, Yuma, the gate to North Kyrat, and Durgesh Prison. Though it was not long after the death of Ishwari Ghale that his orders from Yuma had begun to change. Mining operations and archaeological digs became the forefront of his duties, all due to Yuma’s search of the mythical Shangri-La thangkas in hopes of learning its secrets. It had become a primary objective of hers to obtain a power similar to Kalinag, a legendary hero in Kyrati mythology. Curious to gain more insight into Yuma’s end goal without daring to impede on her authority, Jingyi spent almost any free time researching Kyrati legends and gaining insight into the region’s beliefs.

It was then that he discovered the tale of Yalung, and too had his own dubious epiphany.

According to legend, Yalung lives in all and comes in the form of hate, jealousy, anger, and all negative feeling and emotions. There is a thangka painting of Yalung which depicts him with what appears to be three eyes, similar to the circle on the top of the Mask of Yalung. Thousands of years ago, Banashur and Yalung fought a long battle and in the end, Banashur broke Yalung into pieces and scattered him across the land. Hence, you will find different locations in Kyrat named after Yalung in reference to his body such as Yalung’s Tears, Yalung’s Heart, and Yalung’s Mind, among other locations in the region.

Jingyi began to draw connections between the story of Yalung and the fight with the Golden Path, seeing the resistance members as Banashur’s Lotus children and themselves as the powerful opposition. For a brief time during his expeditions in the mountains, Jingyi came into contact with a cult called the Disciples, who had believed that a transformation into an “Awakened One” is a blessing of Yalung. To gain this blessing, the Disciples would sacrifice human prisoners to gain Yalung’s favor. With this knowledge and a deep-set bitterness toward the overarching circumstances of his profession, Jingyi returned from the mountains a changed man. He traversed to the Chal Jama Monastery and performed his first sacrifice to Yalung in the form of a goat. However, things were quick to escalate alongside the tensions in Kyrat, and eventually, Jingyi took on the persona “The Goat” and became a notorious serial killer throughout the county. As The Goat, he sacrifices victims to Yalung and leaves behind a delicately crafted mask in the form of Yalung’s face. In the crime scenes, he leaves behind notes telling how he sacrificed this certain person for Yalung or that he has been stalking them before the sacrifice was made. The only commonality among victims is that ‘Yalung has called their name’.
