Seafood hawker with an imposing facade.

When he first arrived, the other operators thought Hoshiguma had brought us a real rough customer. But after getting to know him, it became clear that Jaye is, in fact, very nice.

And he really is nothing more than a seafood hawker.

Archive File 2

Despite how he may look at first glance, Jaye has a quiet personality, even coming off a bit stiff. He enjoys reading books and improving his cooking. He would like nothing more than to live a simple life, but, as we all know, you can't always get what you want.

Jaye reports having been sent to the slums to work at a very young age. And thanks to his appearance, as well as his skills with a knife, he was often mistaken for a triad. And since the 'triads' of the Lungmen slums often keep a low profile, mixing in with ordinary folk and setting up front businesses, suspicion fell on Jaye. The misunderstandings and misconceptions piled on top of each other, giving Jaye a reputation as a dangerous man, not to be messed with. Some rumors even labeled him the true puppetmaster behind several different gangs.

But really, Jaye just wanted to sell his seafood. He'd haul his goods to market, and sometimes help out at the finball shop. The rumors weighed heavily on Jaye. But there was nothing he could do about them.

Archive File 3

According to Waai Fu, Jaye is very skilled, and as warm inside as he is cold outside. He is beloved by his regulars, who include Mr. Lee of Lee's Detective Agency, a fan of both Jaye's stall and the finball shop.

One day, after closing up his stall, Jaye came upon Waai Fu in the midst of her fight against injustice. After they got to know one another, Waai Fu realized it was Jaye's stall Mr. Lee liked so much. And as the old man sent her out on her many errands, she became much closer to Jaye.

The upstanding Waai Fu would, from time to time, help Jaye deal with problems here and there. But that only served to confirm his reputation as a dangerous killer to the uninitiated. And Waai Fu became known as a Yan kung fu master in his service.

Though Jaye certainly isn't the professional killer he's sometimes rumored to be, the situation in the slums is still chaotic and complex. Consequently, the question of Jaye's identity endures through the fights and scuffles around him.

Archive File 4

So the rumors persist. But this is not to say they are entirely without benefit.

For example, Hoshiguma developed an interest in Jaye based on these rumors. Upon coming to understand his true nature, she grew concerned for him and ultimately referred him to us at Rhodes Island.

Hoshiguma knows about old Lungmen. And she tells us that although Jaye is not a triad, he is connected with a certain Uncle Tung, who is a known associate of the Rat King. She says that, entirely unbeknownst to Jaye, this old man has worked to help him.

It is clear to us that Hoshiguma revealed this information not to bring suspicion upon Jaye, but to prevent any problems or misunderstandings from arising in the future.

Jaye is just Jaye, a normal civilian who has joined Rhodes Island. And that isn't going to change.

    'Boy, one must choose his own path. If you wish to drift freely, you shall not starve in Lungmen. But if you wish to live peacefully, then you must master a craft. Starting today, I will teach you how to make finballs.'

    'One makes a finball the same way one makes a man, and do you know what the most important thing is?'

    'It's, '

    'Slow and steady, one step at a time!'

    'But you said the most important thing was to never lie, cheat, or steal...'

    'There are many principles required to make a man, and you would do well to remember them all!'

    'When I make finballs, I have to do every single step starting from the slaughter. So, in order to learn how to make finballs, you must also learn how to use a knife.' Uncle Tung pauses for a moment, as if sensing that the words he wanted to impart are too difficult to articulate. He squeezes out the sentence, 'I'll demonstrate one more time, watch carefully.'

    Uncle Tung takes out a rolled leather bag and spreads it across the table. A row of dazzling knives reflect a blinding light. He retrieves a lively finfish from the water tank and slaps it a few times against the chopping board, its movements soon ceasing. He then takes out knives of different shapes and sizes and in turn, removes the scales with a small knife and slices open the belly with a large knife, each step orderly and neat. He shakes the complete finfish around in his hand a few times, and it turns into several different parts, neatly placed upon the table.

    'It seems complicated, and that's because it is. I'll tell you the principle behind using a knife, practice makes perfect.'

    I follow Uncle Tung's example and learn from him. I learn to slaughter the finfish, then how to make filling, then finally how to make soup. Uncle Tung calls me a fast learner, and it doesn't take me very long to join him at the stand.

    One day, a few people come to eat finballs and order a whole lot of them. They get up and turn to leave without paying.

    Uncle Tung has always allowed credit, but I know these guys and I know they aren't going to pay. Angered, I decide to teach them a lesson, but Uncle Tung rushes over and steps between me and them.

    'It's just a few finballs, just a few coins. All you have to do is remember to make up for it next time. There's always next time.'

    I had no choice but to give up, but that makes the punks even bolder. One of them shouts:

    'You filthy hawkers, clutching books all day. Think you're all high-and-mighty or something?'

    Uncle Tung turns around to face them. I can't see the expression on his face, but the punks look like they’re staring straight into hell itself. They half-run, half-crawl over each other as they scramble away.

    That night, Uncle Tung gives me that set of knives.

    'Make sure you take care of these. They might look old, but they're not cheap.'

    'Let me tell you another principle for how you use knives. The most important thing is to hide how sharp they are.'

Need me to make you some midnight snacks, Boss?
Talk 1
Here you go, Boss. And this. You mentioned it before... Everyone says I have a good memory, but I don't know.
Talk 2
When I'm off… I practice cooking. Not just seafood. What do you like to eat, Boss?

Errr… Boss, is it usually on me to find something to talk about?
Talk after Promotion 1
Boss, if you ever want to see a Lungmen night market, I can take you. It's fun... but not exactly safe.

Boss Lady Kal'tsit gave me special permission to use Rhodes Island's supply channels. Now I can try some new stuff. Any requests, Boss?
Talk after Trust Increase 1
I had Officer Hoshiguma on me for a while, for a couple of reasons... But I know she was just looking out for me, same as the neighborhood aunties and uncles.
Talk after Trust Increase 2
I've been told that with my looks, my good memory and knife skills, I was born to be a villain. I don't like that, and I've struggled to find a proper way to change myself. But after coming to Rhodes Island, I realized I should just live my own life.
Talk after Trust Increase 3
Boss, do you think there's any way to put my memory to good use...? I never thought about it before, but it would be nice if I could help.

Hey, Boss. I'm Jaye. Officer Hoshiguma said I'd be better off working here, so here I am. I know seafood, I can cook, and I'm pretty good with a knife. I think I can help.

Oh... so cooking and warfare are pretty alike…

Boss, I wonder if you have any food preferences...?
Title
Arknights.
New Year's blessing
I used to always have to close up the stall late, but now all of a sudden it's a holiday. Can't say I'm used to it... Boss, you want some late-night chow? I'm a little hungry myself. I can cook something for us both.
Greeting
Hey Boss, you're looking good today.
Birthday
It's your birthday today, Boss. Big day. I always remember it, but I'm no good at presents... How about I make you something to eat? Whatever you want, I'll whip it up.
Anniversary Celebration
When Officer Hoshiguma said I should come to Rhodes Island, I was ready to work my hands to the bone. Then I realized, I may not get paid as much as I thought I would, but the work's also easier than I thought, so I guess it balances out... I'll keep doing my best, Boss.
