Baji

Character from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

The Cike's berserker — a shaman who channels a war god and fights with a joy that borders on religious ecstasy, the only member of the unit who seems genuinely happy to be there.

Also known as: Baji

What They Know

• Channels the Pig God from the Pantheon — wields a nine-pointed rake as his signature weapon; his shamanic ability manifests as berserker combat fury and enhanced physical strength
• Former Sinegard student expelled before completing training — one of four students Jiang trained during his time at the academy
• Imprisoned in Baghra before being recruited into the Cike — his path to the unit came through the prison system rather than military channels
• Serves as Rin's de facto protector and guide when she joins the Cike, helping her navigate the unit's dynamics; calls Altan 'Golden Boy'
• Executed by the Dragon Republic alongside Suni — their deaths mark the end of the original Cike as a family
