Jordis es la capitana de Scadrial del Sur de la aeronave Brunstell.[1] Como una capitana diligente, lidera a su tripulación en una lucha contra los soldados de El Grupo cerca del templo del Soberano y lleva a Wax y a sus compañeros de regreso a casa en Elendel.[2]
Apariencia y personalidad
“Desde que nos estrelláramos en vuestro territorio, mi tripulación ha sido encarcelada, torturada y asesinada. Pareces ansioso por iniciar una guerra, alomante. ”
—Jordis a Wax[3]
Poco se sabe de la apariencia de Jordis. Como la mayoría de los sureños, usa una máscara sobre su rostro en todo momento, indicando sus expresiones y estados de ánimo con gestos de sus manos.[3] Como una malwish, es probable que cambie su máscara periódicamente según su profesión o estado de ánimo.[4] Ella es mucho más baja que Wax, pero puede parecer dominante sobre los demás cuando está enfurecida.[3] Jordis también tiene unos ojos duros que algunos piensan que la hacen parecer una guerrera o una asesina.[2] También es resistente, capaz de soportar los dedos de los pies congelados[1] y aún así no usar un medallón de calor para poder hablar con Wax.[3]
Jordis es una mujer segura de sí misma y de voluntad fuerte, dispuesta a exigir lo que le corresponde y expresar su opinión incluso cuando se enfrenta a una fuerte oposición.[3] También es una negociadora astuta. Al discutir con Wax sobre la propiedad de los brazales y el dirigible recuperado, se niega a retroceder hasta que ha asegurado un acuerdo justo para ella y su tripulación. Mientras que otros sureños son intimidados por su naturaleza de nacido del metal, ella se niega a permitirle que se quede con su única forma de regresar a casa. Incluso lo amenaza con la guerra en un intento de regresar con su gente de vuelta. Sin embargo, no es tonta y entiende que no debe excederse cuando ya está obteniendo un buen trato.[2] Aun así, puede tener cierto temperamento; se enfurece porque regresarán a casa sin los brazales ni su nave original.[3] Mantiene esto muy controlado, aunque a veces parece al borde de enfurecer y gritar.
Jordis también es una capitana comprometida con su tripulación.[1] Incluso cuando cree que su tripulación está a punto de morir congelada, pasa tiempo reconfortándolos y animándolos mientras ella también se congela. También es valiente y pragmática, dispuesta a luchar contra los soldados más fuertes de El Grupo y ser asesinada en lugar de morir lentamente congelada. Jordis también está enojada por la forma en que su tripulación sufrió a manos de El Grupo, creyendo que este hecho es suficiente para llevar a la guerra.[3]
Jordis también puede ser una malwish tradicionalista, se molesta con la frecuencia con la que Allik se quita la máscara y con su terrible habilidad para bailar.[1]
Historia
Buscando los brazales
En algún momento de su juventud, es posible que Jordis haya sido una guerrera.[2] A más tardar en el 342, Jordis se había convertido en la capitana de la aeronave Brunstell.,[1] la cual ella afirmaba que era simplemente una nave de comercio.[2] De alguna manera, Jordis obtuvo un mapa del templo del Soberano que había sido recuperado por los supervivientes de una expedición fallida para destruirlo.[5] Jordis llevó a la Brunstell hacia el norte con una tripulación de al menos cien personas, siguiendo el mapa hacia el templo del Soberano con la esperanza de encontrar los Brazales de Duelo.[5] Mientras pilotaba sobre la cordillera de Seran cerca del templo, la nave fue atrapada por una tormenta[5] y desviada de su curso, estrellándose contra la aldea de Dulsing[6] y matando a parte de su tripulación.[5] Aunque los lugareños fueron amables inicialmente, cuando llegó El Grupo, Jordis y los otros supervivientes fueron capturados.[5]
Viaje al templo
At some point following, Jordis and the rest of her crew were brought to the Set's second site in the mountains of the Seran range.[7] Afterwards, Jordis and most of her surviving crew were marched under guard by Edwarn Ladrian and the Set[7] to lead them on an expedition to the Sovereign's temple.[5] Jordis struggled with the cold of the journey, she and her crew were given occasional access to the unsealed metalminds to keep them from freezing to death.[1] When they arrived at the temple, Jordis was imprisoned with the rest of her crew in a tent nearby. Despite only being kept by a single guard, Jordis believed the journey had been too hard on her crew and that they would all freeze to death soon. As her fingers and toes became numb, she crawled among her crewmembers, whispering words of encouragement to them.
Liberando a su tripulación
One of those she spoke to was her enginemaster Petrine.[1] Petrine asked Jordis if they should attack, wishing to die quickly by their weapons rather than freeze to death. As Jordis considered those words, she heard the sound of Allik Neverfar dispatching the guard outside. Jordis stood up in shock at the sound as Allik entered. He offered them a bundle of warmth medallions he had stolen. Jordis took one and asked him how he had managed to rescue them. Allik explained that he had made friends with some of the northerners, as Steris? entered with an armful of rifles. As Jordis distributed the medallions to those most impacted by the cold, Allik told her that Steris wanted them to attack the men of the Set if they could. Jordis let Petrine continue passing out the medallions and armed herself with a rifle. She admitted that she did not know if her crew were strong enough to put up a fight, but that it was better than nothing. She ordered Petrine to arm their crew and prepare to attack the Set's soldiers. She led their crew outside to a position behind a rocky shelf and engaged the Set's soldiers in a firefight. As Wax persued Edwarn from fleeing in the Hunter's ship, he threw aside some of the Set's soldiers, helping Jordis in her fight. Jordis and her crew managed to drive back the Set's soldiers to the edge of the stone field in front of the temple.
Negociación con Wax
“We thank you for your help, but our appreciation does not allow us to ignore thievery. We expect that our property will be returned. ”
—Jordis to Wax[3]
After Wax secured the ship and the Set's soldiers were defeated Jordis lead her crew aboard the ship to secure it and make sure no one remained inside.[3] When Jordis finished her inspection, she swapped to the translation medallion and came to the field outside the temple with some of her airmen to talk to Wax and his companions. She thanked Wax for his help but explained that she expected her property, the ship and the Bands of Mourning, to be returned to her. To Jordis' anger, Wax refused to return them, claiming they were his by right of salvage. Jordis told him that her crew had been poorly treated by the northerners and he risked war by refusing to return their property. Wax still refused, saying that if there was to be war, he would not give them a powerful weapon to fight it with.
Steris interrupted their argument and convinced Wax to return the ship to Jordis, pointing out that the Southerners would have no way home without it and that they could trade access to Metalborn for ships with the Malwish.[3] Jordis was uneasy with this deal, explaining that she could not speak for the other nations among the southerners. Steris suggested then that the Bands be given to the kandra, only to be used in the event of an unprovoked attack by the southerners. Jordis was frustrated by this, feeling that she was walking away with a lesser prize, returning with a badly injured crew and an out-of-date ship and leaving the Bands behind. Steris continued to negotiate, explaining that Wax's seat on the senate would allow him to support favorable treaties with the Malwish. Jordis remained dissatisfied and furious, but realizing that Wax and Steris were offering her a much better deal than was necessary,[2] she reluctantly agreed and shook hands with Wax. Wax asked her for one more favor, a ride back to Elendel[3] in exchange for provisions for her journey home.[2] Jordis agreed with this also.[2] As they prepared to leave, Jordis likely had the skimmer from the Brunstell loaded aboard the salvaged airship as well.[3]
Regreso a casa
On the journey back, upon Wax's insistence Jordis allowed the airship to stop at one small town to send a telegraphed warning ahead to Elendel of their arrival.[2] They also prepared a draft trade agreement between the Malwish and the peoples of the Basin.[3] As they approached the city, Jordis piloted the ship herself as Marasi directed her to Ahlstrom Tower. Marasi invited Jordis to stay in Elendel longer to find out what the northern Scadrians are really like, but Jordis refused wanting to take on supplies and be away that very same night. Before they left, Jordis gave Wax a set of medallions to keep for himself before Wax and his companions surrendered their own back to her. After letting off the Northerners and the Set's prisoners, Jordis took the ship away, returning to the South.
