General 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 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, he doesn't do much except look dazed, which is not unreasonable considering that Gil and Agatha have just bashed through his window in Gil's flyer. He dismisses Gil unceremoniously (even though Gil is nominally his "master"), but realizes that Agatha smells ... very nize ... -- the significance of which isn't clear immediately, but just wait.
Shortly after this accident, Khrizhan invites Agatha for some tea 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 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 from Mamma Gkika's . Apparently he left there rather quickly, and this may be where his hat is.
We undoubtedly haven't seen the last of this guy. Stay tuned.
