Tot Jol-jit

Tot Jol-jit ( Sak: Sak language) was a Sak general, leader of the short-lived Tot tribe and a close ally of Ryung Shäpbät, the father of the later Ryung Sôdung who would conquer the Shár Empire. His perception is mixed in the eyes of the Sak - some viewing him as a cruel opportunist who backstabbed his way to his position, others viewing him as a great warlord -, and in the eyes of the Shár, he was never more than a ruthless warlord who terrorized innocent Shár people and took part in the bloody First Sak Invasion of Shár.

Early Life
Tot Jol-jit's birth name is Jú Song-il ( Sak: Sak language). It is said that he was born into a large and stable family within the Gim tribe, and all was well until he was around 16 years old - it is said that the young Song-il's father killed a prestigious man in self-defense, which led to a feud between his family and the family of the murdered man. As a form of revenge, the offended family's men went ahead and murdered Song-il's mother - the father swore blood-vengence, and would go on to collect his friends and massacre the whole offended family. For this transgression, the chieftain of the Gim tribe issued a manhunt against the Jú family, forcing it to flee - Jú Song-il's father was killed, along with all of his siblings. Only Jú Song-il himself managed escape with his life.

The 16-years old Jú Song-il spend the next ten years of his life as a bandit, first operating on his own - surviving on stolen food, extorted goods, constantly on the run from the law, but then he would gradually assemble his own team and go on actual raids. In 2980 BEKE, he and his raiding party were hired by the Kal tribe. Under Kal service, he would conduct raids and attacks on various other tribes during the next two years.

Foundation of a new tribe
In 2978 BEKE, when he time was right, he would betray his master Kal Jong-ji - after he came across the Helmet of the Unicorn, a mythical artifact that was long believed to be a nonexistent myth, the troops previously loyal to only Kal Jong-ji would begin blindly following Jú Song-il's orders and follow him on a final countdown against the Gim tribe. In this act of unsanctioned aggression, both the Gim and Kal tribes called for a manhunt against Jú Song-il, but the man wearing the mythical helmet would emerge victorious: he first completely wiped off the Gim tribe, leaving only sexually attractive women alive to be taken as concubines by his men - he would take the chieftain's three daughters as his concubines, and would rape the youngest one of them in front of her sisters and his own soldiers.

Afterwards, he led his warriors against the remaining Kal tribesmen who were loyal to Kal Jong-ji. Song-il would defeat Jong-ji, but would not kill him - instead of killong Kal Jong-ji, Jú Song-il left Kal Jong-ji alive on the condition that he would become his vassal and grant him his daughter Weimung's hand. Jong-ji agreed.

Afterwards, Jú Song-il changed his name to Tot Jol-jit - meaning "golden ironfist" - and would announce the foundation of a new tribe: the Tot tribe.

Death during the Sak Invasion of Shár
The then--year-old Tot Jol-jit personally led the Sak army against the defending Shár. It is said that it was him who baited Jompeu Lálo into a trap and personally killed him by slicing his throat. The old Sak chieftain then, drunk on overconfidence, go on to lead a direct charge against the Shár. After losing many and many men, the formerly competent general would begin retreating, but Shár cavalrymen have managed to capture him alive.

The Shár general Sher Wák-ner had Tot Jol-jit executed: at first, it was ordered that all of his fingers would be cut off one by one, then his limbs would be cut off, and finally his head would be cut off. The dreaded chieftain's remains were sent to Ryung Shäpbät, who in his anger would order the exact same to be done to the messenger.
