Jabu Jabu (Total War)



"Rauru:Sometimes I wonder why that giant dwadling fish made her a Sage. Impa: Because he was a giant dwadling fish."

- Rauru and Impa discussing Jabu Jabu.

Lord Jabu Jabu, also known as Jabun, is the second Sage of Water and founder of the Zora Dominion.

Physical Appearance
Jabu Jabu is a large Oshunite, roughly 100 feet in lenght. He has blue eyes, grey blue scales and wears a golden adorned helmet.

Personality
Jabun is known for his great vanity and ego. He refuses to speak with anyone that doesn't worship him. He is also well known for his appetite, leading many to think him a glutton. Many Sages seem to dislike him for these reasons, like Kasuto or Rauru and Impa.

Ancient Age
Jabu Jabu was born in the Great Sea, and was once part of the Oshus Empire before being exiled for unknown reasons. After said exile, he came into contact with the High Zora, who were fleeing from their Parella masters shortly after their creation.

Together with them, the Oshunite founded the Zora Dominion. Quickly, they became one of the greater powers in Hyrule. They would eventually ally themselves with the Akkalans and mantain a good relationship with them.

Eventually, Jabun would recieve the blessing of Malkorbagia, becoming the second Sage of Water.

Second Golden Age
In 90 AG the lifeless body of Princess Ruto Zora de Bon XVII is brought before Jabun by the desperate Zaleen, whose father had murdered her. The Zora fasts and prays in front of him for weeks on end, which moves the Oshunite. To repay Zaleen's dedication, he names the Zora Princess the next Sage of Water.

This decision was considered quite controversial by both the Zora people of the Dominion and Lanayru Province, and the current Sages themselves.

Gerudo Wars
In 101 AG, the Zora Dominion is attacked by the combined forces of the Twili of Zant and the River Zora of Princess Sokuuf and Gatekeeper Jelyf. Jabun, having become slothful due to his age and gluttony, is killed off during the attack, presumibly by Veran as retribution for the death of her husband.
