Way of the Warrior Saints/Saint Jaynke

Saint Jaynke was little known in his lifetime. He rode across the lands, and archer dressed all in black, doing the evil work of a mercenary assassin for a cruel liege. His cold heart knew no love, nor hope. All he knew was the Order of Things, to be respected above all.

While hunting in the north during an exceptionally cold winter, Jaynke became lost in the frozen watses. He wandered in the snow, gradually losing all of his fingers to frostbite, so that he could only use his bow by holding it in his bloodied teeth. Near starvation, he was attacked by bears, and left for dead, sinking to the bottom of an ice-covered lake.

For seven days, Jaynke laid awake and dead in the waters. He stared at the ice above and felt the torment and pain of the freezing lake, as things in the deep scavenged bits of his icy corpse. The pain was maddening, and on the seventh day, Jaynke was lost to this world.

His mind raced across space and time, and he was exposed to the horrors of What Lay Beyond. At the End of All Things, he saw the Father of Earth and Stones rising out of his holy slumber. He saw the ravages of the Second Cataclysm to come, and knew that order must be preserved above all things, and at any cost.

When he rose, he was whole again, and walked out of the lake with a bow made from the bones of a Black Leviathan. From that day forth, he was called The Saint Tormented, and he spread his dark visions to those who were brave enough to hear them.

Jaynke hates all other Saints, and it said that he will be the Betrayor at the End of Days, refusing to fight with the Great Father, whom he fears above all.

His form is that of an Archer dressed entirely in black, with rotten black flesh and icy, frozen eyes.

When a winter is especially cruel, the peasants call it "Jaynke's Vengeance".
