![]() ![]() ![]() l e a d e r While not the first, Jupiter is now the current Patriarch of the Cloud Steppes Clan. He is known within the clan for his confidence and ambition, along with his unnaturally high intelligence. It was these qualities that allowed Jupiter to attract members to the clan as well as maintain control, despite being significantly smaller and more lithe than other clan members. Jupiter's main goal for the Clan is expansion and prominence within the Twisting Crescendo, possibly even making it the Cloudsong. When Jupiter first became Patriarch, he quickly decided to reorganize the lair, assigning new duties for different members and better establishing the clan hierarchy, which had been badly disrupted by the abandonment of the former leaders. He also immediately began to build a powerful clan Guard to fight threats from enemies. He has been very successful in this endeavor, with a strong and loyal Captain and dedicated and skilled fighters. However, Jupiter is still plagued by jealousy and worries that his leadership might be overthrown, and this can often cause him to make bad decisions based on paranoia and mistrust. Jupiter can usually be found in the deepest parts of the caves of the Cloud Steppes Clan, mulling over future plans with his Nocturne adviser Paku. When not in the caves, he is often braving the great gales of the Twisting Crescendo, determined to prove himself to the Windsinger so that his clan can get a spot in the Cloudsong. ![]() o r i g i n s Not much is known about Jupiter, mainly because he doesn't like to discuss his past. He came to the clan as a young traveler with the Imperial Jadis, who had been his mate at the time. They both had been traveling for quite a while, and when they asked the then leaders Andromeda and Ender permission to join, they both accepted. Jupiter quickly became the clan adviser because of his intelligence, and when Ender decided to abandon the clan in order to pursue his calling to the Windsinger, Jupiter was declared leader by Andromeda, who had been wracked with grief by Ender's parting and no longer wanted to lead the clan. Jupiter's ascent to power was not clean, however, and he ended up fighting both Arsenios and Cybele before achieving the victory and respect of a leader. While Arsenios was a vicious opponent, a trait common within her species, Jupiter showed an unlikely knowledge of fighting Mirrors and quickly used a few tricks and a touch of magic to dispatch her. Cybele's fight was trickier, and while Jupiter's wit again put him on top he lost part of his tail. For a while he walked with a stump, but with the arrival of the inventor Capela he gained a new brass extension over the stump. ![]() p e r s o n a l i t y and a p p e a r a n c e Jupiter is highly intelligent, and very stubborn. He has set a goal for himself, and he is determined to take whatever steps necessary to achieve that goal. While Jupiter is often very confident in members of his clan, he has a paranoid streak and this can cause him to be very unpredictable with his decision making, often to the detriment of the clan. Jupiter's appearance is bright and colorful, with brilliant wings and a yellow body with darker stripes. Jupiter's battle tactics mainly rely on agility and ease of movement, so he only wears a decorative feather wing piece as well as light vest and foot wraps. Jupiter is somewhat nearsighted, so he wears a large pair of goggles to help improve his sight. He would never admit to it, however, and often claims the glasses help him with the twisting gales of the Crescendo. ![]() m a t e Jupiter's original mate was Jadis, whom he had met while traveling before he arrived in the Cloud Steppes Clan. While details of their exact meeting have not been shared with the rest of the Clan, what is undeniable is that Jupiter loves Jadis dearly. The two stayed mated up until Jupiter assumed the responsibilities of clan Patriarch, after which Jadis informed him that they could no longer be together. She explained that she had no desire to govern a clan, and that Jupiter needed to find a more assertive and strong mate to help him rule. Jupiter did not take this well, and although he has had some children (all whom have mysteriously left the clan as soon as they were old enough to) he has never taken another partner. Many clan members assume this is because he is still desperately in love with Jadis. ![]() p a r t n e r ![]() Jazeera is a fierce Hippogriff that Jupiter met in his travels with Jadis. Jupiter had met him in a battle; he was hunting Jazeera when the Hippogriff noticed him and attacked. While Jupiter had thought the battle would have gone easily in his favor, he was surprised at the raw ferocity and intelligence the Hippogriff had. While he eventually overwhelmed the Hippogriff, he decided to offer companionship instead of death. Jazeera had been impressed by Jupiter's prowess in battle, and became a very loyal companion. Today, Jazeera is Jupiter's shadow, following him wherever he goes, even into the twists of the Crescendo.
