[Reevaluated] Why not Ti-inferior? See Tertiary Ti below. Why not Se? See Inferior Se below. Why not Fi-inferior? He acts on his personal moral compass, independent of rules. His banishment of Lingsha’s mentor wasn’t by strict law but by his judgment of what would spare her harsher punishment later. He threatens torture against Luocha despite it being outside normal conduct, following his internal compass of necessity. His choice to craft the Wardance as bait for cultists instead of a standard ceremonial event is his personal definition of justice and “right timing”. In voice-overs, he defines institutions like the Ten-Lords Commission metaphorically, meaning he interprets authority through his own moral filter. This proves he leans on his own system of right/wrong over institutional dictates. He acts based on what feels emotionally correct to him, even against pragmatic norms. He adopted Yanqing not because of necessity but because he felt compelled to protect and mentor him like a father. He maintains loyalty to old friendships, such as respecting Igor of Jarilo-VI’s memory by sending an invitation centuries later even when rationally pointless. His attachment to his past, lamenting scattered friends and hating time’s cruelty, means he lets emotions drive his worldview. In his lore, joining the Knights was itself emotionally charged—he followed the sword he grabbed as a child despite family’s rational disapproval. These confirm he prioritizes emotionally right choices over cold calculation. Why not ENTP? To be fair, I can see him fitting this type. He has high Ne, Ti and Fe but I just leaned towards INFJ because I personally find it explains his character more fully. Why not Si? First of all, I'm not discounting Si entirely, but I'm acknowledging its' limited use. He does rely on what's familiar and the tried and true, and he values his personal physical comforts. But I don't see him paying attention to minute details. Meticulosity is part of my own criteria for Si, and I find him lacking on this regard. His character is depicted as someone who avoids fixating on minor details, preferring broad strategy instead. For instance, his lore stresses that he “does not consider saving a situation from the brink of disaster to be a show of wisdom, and is thus fastidious with routine affairs to avoid potential problems”. This is structured foresight, not obsession with small details. His chess metaphor also emphasizes the whole board over flashy small moves. Even in his dialogues, he comments that “a master of the chessboard does not always make flashy moves. People take delight from one flashy move that saves the day, but never worry when the entire situation teeters towards a loss”, meaning he disregards minor tangible tricks. He prefers preventative measures before spirals develop, not scrutinizing minutiae. The consistency across the story means he values foresight and system-level maintenance, not detail fixation. Dominant Ni Jing Yuan interprets situations beyond surface level. In his chess conversations, he reframes the game as metaphor: “chess pieces are like people… there is no going back on the chessboard”. His trope “boring but practical” means he avoids flashy solutions, instead reading the deeper trajectory of problems over immediate appearances. His voice-over reinforces this with: “A master of the chessboard does not always make flashy moves… people take delight from one flashy move… but never worry when the entire situation teeters towards a loss,” which is a focus on hidden meaning beneath surface-level moves. His dialogue also recognizes composure as “relaxed while maintaining a focused mind,” reading beneath appearances. He's notorious for foresight, showing confidence in abstract predictions. In the Ambrosial Arbor incident, he involved the Astral Express as part of a broader strategy, relying on his foresight to predict unfolding events. His title “The Divine Foresight” itself marks reliance on abstract extrapolation. In his voice-over, he says, “I always keep my mind sharp, for the lives of the Cloud Knights hinge on my decisions,” tying lives to his abstract calculations. He also outmaneuvers Fu Xuan in chess by predicting “forty-eight moves ahead,” showcasing abstract outcome confidence. These mean he doesn’t just notice — he extrapolates with confidence. 👇
Biography
"Do not make this decision lightly, general... Think about how you will be remembered..." The general of the Cloud Knights listened to those words with eyes half-closed. "History will make its own judgment on my legacy, and I do not concern myself with how others see me. If I succeed, they'll say that all went according to my master strategy. But if I fail, they'll criticize my delinquency."
