The Grand Master of the Guild of Writers during the time of King Ishek. When the Yimas (actually controlled by a fanatic D'ni faction) abducted the King's wife in 4103, they requested for ransom three new Ages for them to rule. Apparently Ishek informed Jaken of this. Jaken gave a speech saying that the Yimas had no grasp of The Art and the kind of Ages they requested was impossible to exist (and write).[%20Notebook King Ishek Notebook]
