The firstborn son of a Hingan military family in service to Kugane's bugyo, Mitsurugi no Jin 「みつるぎ（美剣）家のじん（仁）」, commonly known as Jin Mitsurugi, lost his father before his birth when he elected to fight alongside of the Domans against the imperial advances of Garlemald. His mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to him, leaving him in the care of his grandfather, Makoto.

The elderly Auri samurai became both his guardian and master in the way of the sword, and Jin looked up to him to the day he joined the Sekiseigumi. A man of great moral fiber, Makoto taught Jin the motto "Aku soku zan (悪即斬)," roughly meaning "slay those who are evil immediately." In pursuit of that motto, Jin took the life of a Garlean ambassador whom he overheard bragging about his many atrocities.

Makoto was the first to learn of his grandson's actions. Fortunately, Jin used discretion and there were no witnesses to the act. Instead, Makoto took the blame for the murder and committed seppuku for his crimes. Horrified at what his actions had wrought, Jin chose to leave the Sekiseigumi and left Kugane aboard a merchant vessel bound for Limsa Lominsa in the distant realm of Eorzea.
