=== Jain Zar ===

'''Jain Zar, the Storm of Silence''', was Asurmen's first student, loyal companion, and hot space-elf eye-candy. Or maybe not. She never takes off her armor, so fuck if I know. She's the founder of the [[Aspect_Warrior#Howling_Banshees|Howling Banshees Aspect]]. Originally <strike>a feral Eldar child</strike> named '''Faraethil,''' <strike>she was too young to remember the glories of the Eldar Empire (not that that helped them much due to their fall). She was originally raised by her brother before he was killed by some Daemons.</strike> ([[Retcon]]! ''Jain Zar: Storm of Silence'' reveals that Faraethil lied about her origin. She was actually a [[Wyches|Wyche]] who got fed up with her old way of life and ran away. More specifically, she was disgusted in how the fights in the arena had devolved into nothing but sport and spectacle.). She eventually encountered a survivor named Iliathin and interrupted his suicide attempt. He shunned her until she was attacked by some [[Dark Eldar]] (probably not too happy about her running away). He managed to save her though she lost control and managed to kill some herself. Realizing he needed to discipline her, he renamed them both before they left.

They then settled on a moon they renamed Asur and the rest is history. Even among the greatest Eldar warriors, her skill and blinding speed were noteworthy. In the true Phoenix Lord way, she spent most of her time in life wandering around the [[Webway]] with her students, perfecting her skills and skullfucking the occasional [[Dark Eldar|Deldar]] or daemon, occasionally coming forth to wreck shit. She is noted for being an acrobatic fighter; [[Harlequins|despite what this might imply, she did ''not'' train or train with the Harlequins]] (her eponymous book makes clear she knew only a little of them, and was disturbed by what she knew.)

Of all the Phoenix Lords, Jain Zar is the most active. She can regularly be seen leading Eldar warhosts against the forces of [[Chaos]]. She was briefly spotted during the [[Horus Heresy]] as a prisoner of the Chaos oracles of the Torquetamn but was likely released when the [[Thousand Sons]] trashed the place. Lately she's been hunting [[Night Lords]], as she heard from a [[Eldrad|mysterious prophet]] that Talos Valcoran would unite the assorted warbands and lead them against [[Ulthwé]]. After getting his ass handed to him, Talos pulled the pin on a krak grenade and gave her a big hug. She died... temporarily, of course. Confirmed to still be alive as of [[Gathering Storm]] II: Fracture of Biel-Tan.

Notably has black hair instead of using the flowing firetruck red manes universal to all other howling banshees for unknown reasons. Most fan-art assumes that said long flowing black hair is naturally hers, and not part of her helmet in another contrast to the Howling Banshees, even if all the Howling Banshee fanart in the universe assumes that all Banshees are just as redheaded as their helmets. Though given all the advanced tech the Eldar have, it not as if they couldn't have invented something as simple as '''hair dye'''. While the jury's definitely out on whether said hair is a headdress or her actual hair as we have never seen a phoenix lord so much as take off a glove, let alone their helmets or any other part of their armour however much some people would like to see Jain Zar strip off her armour and rely entirely on her penalty to hit defences if you know what I mean, this will probably never be answered. This isn't her original body anyway so the question is pointless, and said hair is very definitely reddish in a number of depictions such as Dawn of War 3. With her new model came an aesthetic overhaul (that may or may not be related to Jain Zar getting cut in half by Drahzar and having a revived Banshee Exarch don her armor), and now Jain Zar's official color scheme is virtually identical to her Banshee students; bone colored armor topped with a veritable hurricane of red hair.

She has your typical Phoenix Lord stat line, with both the standard Banshee abilities of +3 to charge rolls and maximum charge distance, and immunity to Overwatch; in addition, she has the Exarch ability of inflicting a -1 to-hit penalty on attempts to hit her during the Fight phase. She's less accurate than a Mirrorswords Exarch in melee, as she wields an up-gunned Executioner with +1S and Shred (S+2 AP-3 D1d3, Re-rolling all failed wounds), but re-rolling wounds is better than re-rolling misses against almost everything, so she shouldn't worry too much about that. She supplies herself and nearby Howling Banshees with Always Strikes First, though her new ability won't really encourage massing banshees around her; ''Storm of Silence'' (replacing her "Disarm" ability) grants her attacks equal to the number of enemy models within 2" of her, turning her into quite a blob blender. Suffice to say, clogging up that radius with extra banshees for a conditionally decent buff isn't an ideal way to compliment her new skills. Though her ranged game is borderline non-existent, she does have a 12" Assault 4 S4 AP-3 D1 Triskele she can toss at the people she's about to charge, which is easily enough to give Asurmen gun envy.
