A Life for Vengeance
As a boy of thirteen, Phin was the sole adult Zyndu to escape the Xana extermination of his clan, fleeing with the infant Mata to the Tunoa Islands. For years, he trained Mata and kept the fire of vengeance alive.[TGOK-2]He fought alongside Mata to reclaim their ancestral castle, participating in the slaughter of the Xana garrison.[TGOK-7]In the rebel capital of Çaruza, he, along with his nephew, fell in love with Princess Kikomi.
