Jadis' great-grandfather

Little is known of Jadis' great-grandfather, other that he was one of the late Emperors of Charn, and was known to be a cruel, murderous, and most likely insane man, like many of Charn's last monarchs were.

He once bade seven hundred nobles to a feast, but killed them all before they had even drunk their fill of wine. He did this simply because they had all had "rebellious thoughts".

Trivia

 * The Banquet Hall, where Jadis' great-grandfather had killed all the nobles, was made into the principal torture chambers before Charn's destruction.


 * In the illustration by Pauline Baynes, where Jadis first awakens on Charn, you can make out what must be her great-grandfather, as Jadis was the last one seated, so you can see her empty seat where she must have been sitting, and then (going backwards) you see what must be her father, grandfather, and finally great-grandfather.
