J'Ghasta

"I dont recall inviting you into my house. Leave quickly, or we will have a problem!"

- J'Ghasta, when you break in to his house

J'Ghasta was a Speaker of the Dark Brotherhood's Black Hand. He was a Khajiit and resided at his home in the city of Bruma where he spent most of his time training his Hand-to-Hand. As a Speaker for the Black Hand, J'Ghasta was a master of hand to hand combat and a merciless killer with his Khajiiti Fists, in doing so, he established a name for himself.

Life before the Dark Brotherhood
Not much is known of J'Ghasta's life before he was invited to join the Dark Brotherhood. He was born in Senchal, a city in Elsweyr. For most of his life he lived in either the slums or sewers of that port city, before its remarkable renaissance from slum to coastal pleasure city when he must've moved. It is rumored by many within the Brotherhood that he murdered a fellow beggar in the slums, most likely to get his day's (or weeks, for that matter) food. Unbeknowest to him though, he was being watched by the Night Mother. She was pleased with his killing. That very night a representative from the Dark Brotherhood came and invited him to join the family. No one knows If this messenger was Lachance, or a previous Listener.

Life in the Dark Brotherhood
J'Ghasta was assigned to one of the various Sanctuaries scattered throughout Elsweyr. He served as an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood for several years being rapidly promoted due to his constant contracts, albeit. Eventually he gained enough attention that when one of the Speakers' Silencer died, he was invited to fill the position. After completing many missions for many years for his Speaker, the Speaker died and he was invited by the Black Hand to fill the position. This was his chance. As a Speaker, his first line of business was to recruit a Silencer. So, after observing many brothers and sisters during missions and hearing of their exploits,he chose the most promising, Havilstein Hoar-Blood out of all of those in Tamriel. As a Speaker he was one of the people responsible for sending forth the Hero of Kvatch, then but a rising, ambitious, but new member of the Brotherhood, on the ritual of purification, a ritual that included the murder of all of the members of the Cheydinhal Sanctuary during the hunt for the traitor. Following this the Champion was contracted with J'Ghasta's assassination, which was set up by the traitor. After entering his house, J'Ghasta fell to the hero.
