Jia Huan

Jia Huan is a tall, pale man with long dark hair, tied up in a ponytail with a red hairband. His hair is parted sharply in the middle, with the bangs framing his forehead and reaching to his ears. Jia Huan has bright red eyes.

He drapes a dark navy-blue uniform with red-accented lines and flowers over a black, high-collared coat. His coat reaches a bit past his waist while the uniform drapes down to his knees. His sleeves are thick and puffy, ending at his elbows to reveal tight black wrist armor and gloves. His ID tag hangs off the upper half of his left sleeve. He wears black pants and shoes. Both his shoes and coat are fitted with silver adornments, his coat having three, and his pants having two.

He carries around a long, dark purple sword in his left hand. The cross guard is decorated with small flowers similar to the ones on his uniform, and from the end of the hilt hangs a red rope ending in a tassel.

During Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing, he wears the E.G.O gear of Spiral of Contempt, a black suit with yellow highlights, covered by a jagged-looking yellow coat with sleeves patterned similarly to the Abnormality's spirals. Additionally, he now wears a golden earring, which also resembles the Abnormality.

In the memories of Hong Lu's childhood, Jia Huan was shown wearing a qiyao ruqun, a waist-high hanfu consisting of a pale blue ru with golden detailing and a dark blue qun with a matching beizi. He wore his hair in a similar style, pinned by a light blue hair decoration.

Jia Huan flaunts a blunt, arrogant personality. He's mentioned to be notoriously unpleasant and violent, with Jia Xichun referring to him as "that asshole" and appearing surprised that Hong Lu came out of an encounter with him unscathed. Jia Huan has an utilitarian mindset, being a strong believer in the ends justifying the means, and finding Hong Lu and the Sinners' behavior hypocritical for choosing which lives and which deaths to fret over.

Jia Huan carries a particular contempt for Hong Lu that traces back to their past in Daguanyuan. In Hong Lu's memories of early childhood, Jia Huan held a more composed, mature demeanor. He appeared to be a caretaker of sorts for his younger brother, Daguanyuan's Jia Huan, watching over him, Baoyu and Lin Daiyu during their playtime. Jia Huan's personality would undergo a drastic change after the Kong Family massacre. Blaming Jia Baoyu for his younger brother's death, Jia Huan grew spiteful towards the boy for having "saved" Lin Daiyu but not the younger Jia Huan. Following this, he would take up the name of Jia Huan, and his demeanor towards Hong Lu would undergo a deep shift: ever since, Jia Huan shows himself to be disgusted by him, describing him as willfully ignorant and hiding a revolting rot within him.

The events at the old H Corp. would also mark a change in Jia Huan's relationship to his family, with him mentioning not having lived for the Jia family since the day he took his brother's name. Jia Huan comments on the insignificance of the family's honor, showing himself surprised that anyone could have believed he'd ever acted on behalf of the family. He appears to carry disdain for its members, including the Xianren and Jia Mu, watching with contempt as they're carried away during the flooding of the Tiekan Temple. Despite this, Jia Huan keeps finding value in his name, speaking of himself as the rightful heir of the family.

In Daguanyuan, Jia Huan would often spectate the games of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and his younger brother Jia Huan, and as an older relative, he was the one to introduce them to the art of combat.

During the massacre of the Kong family, his brother was one of the many casualties, despite the warnings of Jia Baoyu to not go to the presentation. Having learned that Baoyu had saved Lin Daiyu, while his younger brother had perished during the attack, Jia Huan held Baoyu responsible for the boy's death, believing he hadn't truly wished to save him, and claiming that the young Jia Huan's future would've been far more precious than Baoyu's. After the events at the Kong family laboratory, the elder Jia Huan would take up the name of his deceased sibling, and detach himself from the Jia family.
