Biography[]

Early life[]

Jenan was born to the Bulgarian Grand Mage, and was part of a Legacy Family, in which everyone takes the same surname. The Ispolin name had some unfortunate connotations with previous members known for being brutal and cruel.

Around the time when Corrival Academy was first opened, Jenan's family sent him there to be educated. Whilst there, he garnered a reputation for being a troublemaker, and developed a strong dislike of a fellow student, Omen Darkly. Jenan also became friends with the history teacher, Mr Lilt, and joined his anti-mortal group known as Arcanum's Scholars, and became the student leader of the group, which was officially run by Lilt. He often bullied other students, especially Omen, and was looked up to by the other members of Arcanum's Scholars.

Resurrection[]

When the Scholars finally meet with The Anti-Sanctuary; (whom they had been working for) Jenan volunteers to be 'spokesperson', as Lethe put it, for the 'First Wave' of Anti-Sanctuary sorcerers. Jenan later realises that Omen had infiltrated their group, and confronts him in the school corridor. Jenan threatens to kill Omen, but is stopped by Miss Wicked.

Later, when Valkyrie is captured by the Anti-Sanctuary, Jenan is used as leverage to make Richard Melior resurrect Abyssinia. Lethe called for Parthenios Lilt to kill his favourite student, in this case Jenan, to pressure Melior into doing the task. Jenan is not killed as Melior agrees, and Jenan is last seen being led away with the other Scholars by Lilt.

Seasons of War[]

Jenan is in prison after the events of Bedlam. Omen visits him, as he wants to ask why Jenan tried to murder him. However, Jenan mocks him and says he hates him. He tries to attack Omen, but crashes to the floor and fails. Omen leaves.

Powers and abilities[]

As he has not yet experienced his Surge yet, Jenan is able to use any magical discipline he is proficient enough in. He is one of the few members in the Anti-Sanctuary who is not a Neoteric (along with his classmates).

Personality[]

Being part of a subgroup of the anti-Sanctuary, Jenan has a severe dislike towards mortals. He constantly makes cutting remarks about them which doesn't gain much disapproval from his teachers. He also seems to have a general dislike towards outsiders, especially Necromancers. "Necromancers are sad little lunatics", he says as he boasts that his father kicked them out of Bulgaria. He tends to generalise, regurgitating the words of his father, saying that because Melancholia St Clair tried to kill billions of people for the Passage, this means that all Necromancers are murderers.

His father's name grants Jenan a certain arrogance and snobbishness that he uses towards everyone, even his friends. Not all teachers are threatened by his display of power, however. Jenan doesn't think much of Auger Darkly ("The Chosen One") but is wise enough not to go up against him and instead bullies his younger brother Omen.
