Acolyte Jin

Acolyte Jin is a Hero available in Guild Wars Nightfall. A quiet, deadly member of the Zaishen Order, Jin seeks a suitable teacher.

Lore
From the official website and the manual:
 * Grim Zaishen Archer
 * "Actions, not words."


 * Origin: Canthan
 * Age: 17
 * Profession: Ranger


 * When Jin was a young girl growing up on the coast of Cantha, her family was slain by monstrous creatures in the dead of night. From that moment on, she trained as an archer, determined that the forces of darkness would never take her by surprise again. For hours, she silently practiced with her bow, taking some small measure of comfort in the sound of a bowstring releasing or the menace of an arrow in flight. Even before she joined the Zaishen Order, she was a determined and deadly adversary, and their instruction has made her even more dangerous.


 * Traveling with others makes her feel a little safer, but she considers the concept of "safety in numbers" a delusion. In the end, she knows it's her own skill that means the difference between life and death. She does not care about rank or status in the Zaishen Order. Each day she systematically eliminates another monster threatening Elona, she finds it a little easier to survive one more night of troubled sleep.

Recruitment
Complete the quest Student Jin, which is unlocked by completing the quest Zaishen Elite. Both quests can be obtained from Field General Hayao.

Accepting the quest to recruit Jin prevents the recruitment of Acolyte Sousuke until after the completion of the Nightfall campaign.

Dialogue
In Sun Docks and the Plains of Jarin:
 * "My family was killed because they weren't prepared for danger. The Zaishen rescued me. I vowed to prepare myself for the perils of life and learned the ways of the bow from an early age. Lead me through danger and my arrows will darken the sky above your path."

In Throne of Secrets:
 * "I told you once before: there is no danger so great that a courageous heart cannot overcome it"
