- Before lore retconning, the name Jax was Ionian.[1]
- Jax's full name is Saijax Cail-Rynx Kohari Icath’un, his full name consists five elements specific to Icathian naming convention:
- Birth name,
- Mother's name,
- Father's name,
- Occupation / social standing,
- Clan name.
- Before his transformation, Saijax was a giant with a shaven-head, skin pockmarked by the ravages of a childhood illness, and a forked beard stiffened to points with wax and white chalk.
- Though considered a "master of weapons", he often wielded an Icathian axe-headed polearm as his primary weapon, which is actually a discarded brazier stave blazed with elemental fire that can harm the Void.
- Jax's favorite food is eggs, particularly those from a certain caravansary in the Shuriman City of Uzeris. His prefered method of egg consumption is to boil them.
- He is more than 3500 years old as he was present during the fall of Icathia.

- New Unique Passive: Taunts nearby
