Biography & Lore
Jexa was born and raised as an assassin for an exclusive professional guild called "The Family". From an early age she was subject to intense training and conditioning for her role as an assassin, brainwashed and programmed to be a perfect killer and Apex predator.
Her list of successful missions was a long one even before her twelfth birthday, and it was around that time when Gilgamesh found her...
She was actually hired to kill him by a politician who wanted to do away with the merchant before he could collect on the debt he owed. The Family asks no questions, they kill and get paid... She killed Gilgamesh in his sleep by dribbling poison past his lips and then removing his hand as proof... The Family got paid but soon were puzzled when Gilgamesh Briarthorne came inquiring about the assassin that supposedly killed him and took his hand.
He was shown to the child and she saw him standing before her, alive and with his hand still attached.
Evidently he saw something in that child so he bought her from The Family outright and commissioned her to go and collect his favor from the politician that had him killed. She understood very little but didn't question it, she performed her duties to the letter and soon began her work as his personal bodyguard.
Years went by and over time they learned that the brainwashing process was incomplete. There was always one thing that The Family couldn't totally snuff out from their pupils and for Jexa it was a desire to protect those she regarded as "family" and this was paired with an almost dog-like instinct to form a pack bond with her master whom she was commanded to call father.
Thus when a new Daughter was introduced to the pack she made it her job to train the unruly thief whom father named Charity. She taught her sister as much as she could but ultimately Charity's independence and willfulness couldn't be trained out of her and father advised her to give up. She obediently did so but held a hope the one day the little sister would come back and see the value of the discipline she taught.
