Description

Hishu

A huge Chinese man in his late 50s with short black hair and dark brown (almost black) eyes. He is squeezed into an expensive black suit with a plain white shirt. His body is covered with scars reminiscent of Pure renown marks, to those who know them. He has a military posture and tends towards formality, reinforced by his British accent.

Urhan

A huge black wolf with burn scars visible under patchy fur.

Storytelling Hints

Chen's manner is reserved. He rarely shows emotion except for a certain weariness. He is a realist and never sugar-coats anything, but he isn't cynical or a pessimist. Underneath it all, he is an idealist willing to persevere through any hardship in order to achieve his ends but unwilling to compromise his beliefs. He tends to be very polite and never raises his voice. There is a coldness to him, when he's angry, that can be terrifying.

Combat

Background

Chen was born into an ancient Chinese line of Uratha which was half Storm Lords and half Ivory Claws. He was taken by the Pure side of the family and brought up within its criminal structure, serving as a young man in the tongs that supported their triad. When he changed, he was initiated as a Red Stick into the triad itself, a perfect parallel of his alpha's life.
