Born Iaisa Jerhit, Brena discovered the legacy of Brennen Jerhit—an infamous warlord from the Warlord Eras whose raids and underworld alliances laid the foundation for the modern Jerhit Syndicate. Inspired by his example and disillusioned by imperial attempts to rewrite the past, she cast off her given name and assumed the mantle of Brena, embracing the syndicate's violent inheritance as her own.
As the current matriarch of the Jerhit Syndicate, Brena commands the inland circuits of Thazvaar with a hybrid strategy of theft, propaganda, and advanced tech design. Her branch, Brena Propulsion Designs, supplies jetpacks, micro-cannons, and illicit relay tech to pirates, elites, and private warlords alike—much of it stolen from captured Berinese engineers. Kidnappings, ransom extractions, and forced prototype development are commonplace under her rule.
Brena funds anti-Shadow Rule music acts and weaponizes culture through syndicate-backed festivals. Genres like Rebelcore and Conwave glorify syndicate ideals, wealth, and pirate ascendancy. Though she remains publicly elusive, her influence stretches across both private and public relays, where she taxes independent acts and launders narrative control through performance and sound.
Reviled beyond the syndicate and known to imperial strategists as a destabilizing parasite, Brena Jerhit represents the fully realized modern form of inland Thazvaar’s post-warlord underworld. Her name change marks not just personal transformation, but the resurgence of Brennen’s legacy through a new era of criminal consolidation.
