Jakou, the Viceroy of the Imperial Capital, began his life in a village shielded by the Celestial Emperor’s grace. Adopted by Falco’s mother, he nurtured ambitions for dominance from youth. A fateful clash with Raoh shattered his psyche when the latter sensed his malevolence and cast him out, branding him a threat. This expulsion seeded an enduring terror of darkness and the North Star, eternal reminders of Raoh’s judgment and his own fragility. Following Falco’s mother’s death, Jakou orchestrated a coup by abducting Celestial Empress Lui, ruling through her stolen authority. He coerced Falco’s obedience by threatening Lui’s life, cementing a regime built on conquest and forced labor. Enslaved populations powered his capital’s artificial lights, a desperate remedy for his crippling fear of shadows. Jakou fathered two enforcers, Jask and Sheeno, and purged rivals with ruthless precision, ordering the assassination of Lin, the Celestial Emperor’s twin sister. Falco defied him, sparing Lin and erasing her identity. Jakou’s paranoia erupted in violent fits, once driving him to stab Sheeno during a light-deprived frenzy. His empire crumbled when Kenshiro and the Hokuto Army rallied against him. Retreating from repeated defeats, Jakou’s unraveling mind led him to trigger a chamber collapse in a bid to bury Lui, Falco, and Kenshiro. Falco, hardened by Jakou’s cruelties, faced him in a final clash. Pleading for mercy, Jakou met his end through Falco’s disintegrating technique, dissolving his tyrannical reign. Jakou’s legacy intertwined cowardice, cunning, and insatiable ambition. His dread of darkness and the North Star mirrored Raoh’s indelible mark on his psyche, while his tyranny—fueled by manipulation and violence—exposed his moral void. His oppression forged an alliance of foes, turning his reign’s collapse into a catalyst for unity.
