Editing Werewolf The Eater Of Names (section)

==Other Groups and Entities==

===Civilians===
*'''Dachan Cuifen''', curator of the Taotie exhibit at the museum and university archaeology lecturer.
*'''Alec & Rong''', friends of Lao Min and fellow students at the university.

===14K Triad===

*'''Hom Wie, Hive-Claimed'''. Rumoured to be a Taoist sorcerer and feared by the lower ranks of the Triad for his brutality and twisted appearance. Hom Wie has some sort of link or connection to Wang Jing from the past, sufficiently strong to warn her of a forthcoming Triad war.
*''''Emperor' Koi''', 14K Red Pole. An influential Red Pole in the Sham Shui Po and Yau Tsim Mong districts, with designs on drugs and prostitution rackets throughout the area. Has long attempted to extend his influence over Cherry Gardens but has been held back to the influence of the Blossom Society.
*'''Man Sie''', 14K fence. Deals in technical and technological goods primarily, operating out of the Lamp House.

===Wo Shing Wo Triad===

===Beshilu===

*'''Mister Shu'''. Ancestor of Lao Min, but apparently still alive and well in San Hui in the New Territories. Some sort of spirit or petty divinity associated with rats that romanced a Lao woman in the early 1900s. Has Rat Hosts under his control. May actually be some sort of Rat Host of a previously unknown kind.

===Jiang Shi/Goeng Si===
The catch-all term for reanimated corpses; jiang shi are mostly thought to be unquiet dead who steal life force through drinking a victim's breath, but most other corporeal undead are referred to under the same label by the Uratha.

===Taotie===
Also known as the 'gluttonous ogres', taotie are very powerful entities of hunger that have been bound into ceramic masks and pottery. The mortal wielder of a taotie gains monstrous physical strength, the ability to cross the Gauntlet, and the ability to take the internal organs of a victim and place them within his or her own body. In return for this power, the taotie demands the sacrifice of the mortal wielder's own internal organs to feed its hunger. Manifesting its powers causes the taotie to drain a vast amount of Essence from the nearby ''Hisil'', often catastrophically for weaker spirits in the vicinity.
*'''Chua Chuo''', Sham Shui Po businessman and Taotie wielder - murdered Mark Callaghan-Cheung and She Wanli over property scheme using the power of the taotie. Killed by the Blossom Society. Apparently found the mask amongst some family belongings passed down to him.

===Yaksha===
The ''yaksha'' are werewolves Changed amongst the Thai immigrant population. Although very similar to Chinese werewolves in many ways, the Hong Kong Uratha see the yaksha as more like close cousins than brothers and sisters - yaksha are attributed with being much closer to the Shadow than the Flesh, born from mortal shamanism and spirit-magic rather than from the blood of the Wolf.

===Yao Guai===
The catch-all term for shapeshifting creatures, but yao guai are particularly associated with a few traits. Yao Guai are often thought to be following Taoist sorcerous practices and to be seeking immortality. Some yao guai are fusions of spirit and flesh like the Uratha, but others are outright demonic and hellish in their nature. Yao guai are commonly cannibalistic, eating humans of particularly great virtue or spiritual excellence as part of their search for eternal life.
