| - General Alexi Khrizhan is Big Enchilada of the Jägermonsters aboard Castle Wulfenbach. He's one of the less human-looking of the Jägers, with a prominent set of tusks that make him look half-human, half-warthog. This is a guy who could really use a good orthodontist. Khrizhan is also, with the exception of Maxim for a brief period, the only Jäger who does not wear a hat. Khrizhan is one of the troika of Jäger generals who run things Jägerish aboard the Castle, along with his fellow Jägergenerals, Zog and Goomblast. In his first [ appearance] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], he seems rather startled, which is not unreasonable considering that Gil and Agatha have just bashed through his window in Gil's flyer, but then seems to take things in stride. He takes a rather familiar and unceremonious attitude with Gil (even though Gil is nominally his "master"), but realizes that Agatha [ smells ... very nize ...] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] -- the significance of which isn't clear immediately, but just wait. Shortly after this accident, Khrizhan invites Agatha for some [ tea] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] and conversation, and she gets to meet Zog and Goomblast. They concur with his observation: Agatha doesn't just smell "nice," she smells like a Heterodyne. This produces some speculation about Heterodyne mores, but there's no getting around the conclusion that this "Agatha Clay" is somebody they really need to take care of. After this little encounter the Jägergenerals retreat to a more behind-the-scenes role, but they are still there ... watching. Maxim's [ flashback] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] explains that Khrizhan, Zog and Goomblast have set him (and Dimo and Oggie) scouring the world for a Heterodyne, and lo and behold, when they finally find the same one who'd crashed Khrizhan's window, the rest of the story happens. Gilgamesh Wulfenbach ended up with an old [ outfit of the General's] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] from Mamma Gkika's . Apparently he left there rather quickly, and this may be where his hat is. Khrizhan participated in the Siege of Mechanicsburg under the banner of their new lady, Agatha Heterodyne, and directly took part in [ a mission to rescue survivors of a crashed Vespiary Squad airship] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]], single-handedly destroying a retreating enemy airship that had attacked the Vespiary Squad (after making sure it wasn't cheating to use their own weapons while they were in the air and fleeing). At present, he is trapped in Mechanicsburg by the Take five Bomb.
