Editing Tianxia Blood Silk & Jade:Righteous Pheasant Zheng (section)

===Background:===

'''Appearance:'''  Like the bird his title suggests, Zheng possesses bony and pointed features.  Though middle aged, he looks older due to a hard life of study and dedication to his office.  He wears fine silk of red, black, and white with the emblem of a silver pheasant representing his rank proudly emblazoned on his chest.  Much of his hair falls down the back of his neck from under his cap.  He has two rings on each middle finger, but they are not meant to signify wealth, and instead serve to connect to his iron pens which he can spin to cut down his foes.  He keeps a satchel of government papers and writing utensils with him at all times.  

'''History:'''  Zheng is a magistrate who was sent away from his noble family as a child so as to not threaten the lines of succession.  He was raised in the imperial capital as one of the many scholar-officials, but while he rose to power, his family fell into ruin.  Zheng was unaware of this misfortune until by happenstance he encountered his brother on a mission.  They joined forces with Zheng acting as the official and Qiang as his enforcer and bodyguard.  

During his early career, Zheng was assigned to help hide a young singer who survived a massacre perpetrated by the General of Shadows Mountain Ox.  However, due to an error on his part, word leaked to Mountain Ox's spies within the government.  Instead of Zheng, they confused him for an innocent constable who was executed despite his best efforts.  To this day, he has vowed to bring Mountain Ox to justice.
