Biography[edit]
Lord Jinai is a Sui Riu dragon, first encountered by Temeraire and his formation off the coast of Japan. He normally lives in the Hakata Bay. Described by Temeraire as "immense" and "sea-serpent-like", Lord Jinai attacks the English dragons before Temeraire strikes him with Divine Wind.He is two times bigger than Maximus and three times bigger than Lily. After Temeraire's attack he has got a bloody eye.
Later on, he meets William Laurence, where Laurence notes that the dragon had a "glitter of angry malice" in his eyes. Laurence also noted that Lord Jinai had a "gleam of intelligence" in his eyes, and followed conversation with a "keen, cold interest". He doesn't like foreigners or modernization, he is not very gentle and doesn't talk much but he is treated with very great honor.
The massive Sui Riu dragon also guards Nagasaki Harbor, and is suspected to have caused the sinking of the HMS Phaeton in 1808.
According to Kaneko Hiromasa, Lord Jinai is the "guardian of the West: he is four hundred years old, and he has seen Celestials before." However, Matsudaira later states that no Celestial has been seen "across the sea" (I.e., outside China) for five centuries, when Chinese invaders founded the breed by stealing "the last egg of the Divine Wind line" from Japan after killing all living dragons of that line, suggesting that Lord Jinai has been alive since before that theft and extinction.
