Jiro Zhang was born to an elven mother and a human father. He inherited his father's love for mixology and quickly gained a reputation for his unique and potent drinks. However, as Jiro aged, he became increasingly self-conscious about his appearance and started to fear that people would start to see him as old and decrepit. He turned to the local alchemist, Zephyr Moono, for help and started to use her potions and concoctions to keep himself looking young and vibrant.
Jiro's tavern, The Laughing Lotus, is a large stone building that was originally built as a warehouse for trading goods. Jiro saw the potential in the space and turned it into a lively tavern that quickly became a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The tavern is always bustling with activity, with bards playing music and patrons telling stories of their adventures. Jiro's skill in mixology is unparalleled in Tzoka, and his drinks are often sought after by those looking for a unique and potent experience. He is known for his ability to mix rare and exotic ingredients to create new and exciting flavors, and many patrons come to his tavern just to sample his latest creations.
Despite his obsession with hiding his age, Jiro is a friendly and gregarious host who takes pride in his tavern and the experiences he creates for his guests.
