Biography
Bai Jin (白金) was a male human born many years ago in the land of Qing where he had an older brother named Bai Yin. The pair grew up to be skilled puppeteers where they sought to improve their art. To achieve that end, they travelled to Prague the City of Spires in order to apprentice themselves under an alchemist. The two wanted to master the art so that they could use it on their puppets in order to bring them to life.
He then secretly kidnapped Francine where he fled Prague with his brother attempting to find him over the course of the next 9 years. In that time, he settled in Quiberon in France where he settled by a village in order for her to fall in love with him. However, she still held out hope for Bai Yin to find her as she was in love with him instead of Jin. Around this time, a sickness fell among the villagers of the town and they came to believe Francine was responsible where a mob of them captured her and imprisoned her in a basement. Unable to free her, Jin looked to develop the Aqua Vitae in order to cure the villagers and thus secure Francine's freedom. By this point, his brother Yin had tracked him down and demanded to know the location of his wife with Jin directing her to her prison. Thus, the two were re-united but he was unable to free her as the villagers forced him away from Francine. Around this time, a fire was started at the prison engulfing it in flames where it ended up killing Francine. Jin arrived at the scene with the Soft Stone holding the Aqua Vitae but was too late and had found that his brother had similarly already made the stone to save his love. Both were too late and Jin was broken over the loss of Francine as well as the fact that she only loved his brother. Yin though said that in her own way she cared for Jin as well which was the reason why she had never attempted to run away from him. Giving Jin a lock of Francine's hair, Yin departed and left his brother to mourn the loss of their shared love.
Overview
Personality and attributes
His good lucks led to him being popular among the ladies in his youth.
He became smitten with Francine after first seeing her and was in love with her. At the time, his brother Bai Yin showed no interest in her and Jin sought to court her. However, she and Yin came to fall in love with one another with Jin seeing this as an act of betrayal by his brother. The jealously he experienced mentally broke him and made him more crazed over the years.
Her obsession with Francine led to him creating the Doll Francine where he used a lock of the real ones hair. After creating her, he had her obey his commands but saw no love or laughter there. Thus, he made many attempts to make her laugh including creating clown-like Automata who performed gruesome acts of murder to entertain her. All these efforts failed and Bai Jin came to be frustrated with her where he eventually took his anger out on the Doll Francine where he seemingly destroyed it. However, the Automata managed to repair the Doll Francine and continue with their mission in attempting to make her laugh.
Powers and abilities
He and his brother later came to become skilled alchemists where they sought to create the Aqua Vitae. Bai Jin came to develop it after his brother where he managed to make the Soft Stone that produced the substance. Jin also came to develop sophisticated mechanical dolls that were called Automata. These came in a variety of shapes and sizes along with capabilities where they came to form the Midnight Circus.
Bai Jin was the person responsible for creating the ZONOPHA virus as punishment on the villagers that were responsible for killing Francine.
