History
Early Years
Jiyi was one of three graduates from his sibko, and barely stood out as a warrior, always keeping his motivations sheltered. He achieved his Bloodname by outsmarting his opponents, studying them, and defeating them before the fight began. His prudence allowed him to survive in the Mongol Doctrine dominated Clan, despite rejecting the brutal ideology. Serving in the Fifth Battle Cluster, Jiyi earned a reputation as a reticent thinker who approached both the battlefield and intra-Clan politics with Snow Raven-like calculation, to the extent that he was rumored to come from Snow Raven genestock.[3] He took to marksmanship both with personal weapons and with his BattleMech.[1]
Desant
Though Jiyi lent his strategic skills to Malvina Hazen's Desant into the Republic of the Sphere, where he helped achieve victory with his markmanship and innovative battlefield strategies, scoring victories on Ryde II and Skye, but eventually grew sickened by Malvina's descent of rage after the death of her sibkin on Skye. He fully believed in the Falcon's right to rule Terra, but he wanted it through honorable combat. He was furious when knew than Khan Jana Pryde never intended the desant to succeed, and lent his strategic mind to help Malvina's cause in thye Rending, aiding her to rise as Chingis Khan. However, he was appealed after Malvina wasted the Emerald Talon, razing Hammarr, to make a statement. However, he knew had to keep his feelings in secret, which allowed him to survive. Finally, Chistu would grow to resent the doctrine over time, preventing the Fifth Cluster from falling deep into the Mongol Doctrine. The stunning success of the falcons against the Lyran Commonwealth, but knowing than the Golden Ordun cannot hold so many worlds, advised Mazen to limit their Clan's extent, but she simply ignopred his words.[4] Unable to stomach her, Jiyi eventually transferring himself to VaultShip Gamma where destiny put him in a unique place to fully make use of his abilities. He took command of the Trinary onboard the ship, learning a great deal of the ship's commander, Merchant Jodine.[5]
IlClan Era
In mid-3151, VaultShip Gamma received orders from Merchant Factor Marena to return to Alyina. Jiyi and Jodine found it strange, because their home port was Sudeten, so they decided to go there instead. On Sudeten, they found a planet in chaos. A Scientist General, Axle, had claimed the control of the planet, and invited Gamma to join him in forging a new society. It proved to be a poor choice of words, specilaly from a scientist: fearing Axle was related with The Society, Chistu led his Trinary to assault Axle's mansion, capturing him. When news of the Battle of Terra arrived, knowing the Falcon's de factro annihilation and malvina's death, Chistu assembled his warriors, presenting them a choice. The vote was unanimous, and the present choose to abandon the Mongol Doctrine and to name Chistu their new Khan.[6]
Chistu didn't waste any time leaving Sudeten to travel at the nearby worlds. Leaving Jodine at charge of Sudeten, he went to Graus. There, another scientist had took command of the solahma garrison too, but when he ordered his troops to shoot Chistu, the nearest one, Cosmo, shoot the scientist and invoked surkai to the Khan, which accepted and promoted him to Star Captain. After recruiting more MechWarriors from the solahma, Chistu tasked the ones which failed to find new recruits of infantry before departing, leaving a single Star behind at garrison. The next stop of Chistu's travel was Dompaire. There, Star Captain Engels, another solahma, had a full Trinary of 'Mechs, and had formed his de facto a bandit kingdom, abusing and extorting the local populace. He welcomed Chistu, but defied him when he wanted to take two full Stars of his forces. After defeating him in a Circle of Equals, Chistu ordered him to increase the mines' production and deeparted. Once again in Sudeten, Chistu received word from Marena, the founding leader of the Alyina Mercantile League. She not only refused to rejoin the Falcons, but even questioned his legitimacy as Khan and offered him the full leadership of his AML military, a proposition than he could not even consider.[7]
By then, the Remnants had almost a full Cluster, but even then, Chistu knew than it wasn't enough, so after hearing than Clan Ghost Bears were having a cross training exercise on Quarell, decided to launch a daring raid: taking his best two Trinaries, he travelled to that planet, while training his people to counter the Bears' tactics, and once there, launched a Trial of Possession for the cadets, beting VaultShip Gamma, and the Bear leader, Star Colonel Emilio Hall accepted. The Trial was a nightmare, but thanks to Chistu's tactical acumen, he defeated Hall in a duel and eventually won the Trial, welcoming the new recruits as they departed. Once again in Sudeten, Jodine struck him for having risked gamma, but he simply laughed and excused himself. Later, when he knew than Dompaire hadn't even met the minimum production quota, he travelled there, and uncovered Engels' actions: his oppresive rule had made the population to revolt. He broke again Engels' nose and, after crushing the rebellion, he forgave the locals and put a chief laborer in front of the planet, which won him the population's loyalty.[8] The 9 January 3152, Chistu was on a training center, where Ghost Bears cadets were facing their Trial of Position. It didn't surprise him than Alexis won a Star Commander rank. He surprised her remembering her name and surname, and said he was sure she will won a Trial of Bloodright, and ordered Dawn to gave Alexis a Turkina.[9] At the beginning of 3151, a invasion of Clan Hell's Horses arrived on system. As their Khans refused to consider the Remnants a Clan, Chistu knew than he had to make what was necessary to win. The Battle of Sudeten (3152) was a devastating conflict, but despite the overwhelming odds, Jiyi succeeded; the Horses' Khans refusal to fight by Clans' rules freed him to use whatever tactics he deemed necessary: using deceit, guile, and holographic decoys, the Falcons defeated the Horses' forcing them to flee. Despite heavy losses and great devastation inflicted to Hamarr, the Remnants emerged weakened, but more united and determined than ever.[10]
