Plot[]
Alliance with Shindra[]
Jaswant first appeared as a spy of Mahendra, servant of Gadevi, posing as a Guide for Rajendra. The latter transfers him to the Parsian Troops as their Guide. He tries to prevent the falling of the Fortress of Gujarat, but his loyalty is revealed and he is captured by Gieve after a brief Sword Fight. He is spared of execution by Arslan and sent to join his allies. During his interrogation, he reveals to Arslan and his staff he was a orphan and considers Mahendra as his Father. He is saved from execution for his failure by Mahendra, who convinces Gadevi to spare him.
He participated in the battle of the Field of Chandigarh, where he saves Gadevi of a certain death at the hand of Daryun. However, he receives no gratitude for this and is instead reprimanded by Gadevi.
After the duels before the Gods, which result in Rajendra gaining the title of Crown Prince, he saves Arslan from being killed by a soldier of Gadevi, after the latter refused the result and tried to kill his younger half-brother, stating that such an act will be a sign of defiance against the Shinduran Gods. After the fight, he later rushes to the dying Mahendra, who was mortally wounded by Gadevi after the latter adviced him to surrender, and is very saddened by his status. Mahendra ask him to not cry and to forgive him before succumbed to his wound.
