Personality
Jaswant is a firm believer of the religion of Shindra and is loyal to his superiors, even though he is threatened to be executed by some of them despite not committing any faults worth being so severely punished. When given orders or missions, he executes it with pride and honour for the sake of his kingdom and religion. Jaswant is especially loyal to Mahendra, who raised Jaswant like his own son.
Despite seemingly stubborn and inflexible for choosing to be loyal to what many would say to be the wrong side, Jaswant is revealed to be honorable and capable of thinking for himself, seen when he is fully willing to inform Narsus of Rajendra's schemes after Rajendra ascended to the Shindrian throne, to repay his debt to Arslan. He is also very respectable and understanding, as he bears no grudges against anyone who wronged him.
