Biography
His actions have had a profound effect on both human and Ananasi society. In a time before humans understood the value of structured society, Jericho stepped forward to build a city that would become famous in lore and legend. Jericho was a man that had many enemies, and he felt the best way to defend himself from those enemies was to create as many allies as he could find — and he was willing to take whatever allies were available. In a carefully executed action, he worked his way through the government of a growing city, first as an advisor, then as an aide, and finally as a leader. With each step he was able to draw more and more allies to his side, eventually giving him an army to control. What makes this action unique was that his allies and his army were all human. He realized that the humans were easy prey in more ways than one, giving his kind an example to follow. If the Ananasi take control of humans, they can manipulate them to their advantage. The skills of the Ananasi far exceed anything that humans themselves are able to develop, and if the spiderlings are able to give of themselves, the humans will put them in positions of power, and human power is as lethal as Ananasi power. The other lesson taught by Jericho is that power draws attention, and attention draws enemies. Jericho was charismatic enough to rise in power among humans, but that same charisma drew the jealousy of others. These are the forces that eventually destroyed Jericho, inside his fabled walled city. The Ananasi always remember the fact that one enemy can easily replace another, so it is best to control your enemies rather than create new ones.[1]
