Swirling Moonsilver tattoos cover every inch of his skin with fractal patterns. His glossy black hair of which he is quite proud and which he always keeps perfect condition reaches down to his lower back in a neat braid. Most days find him clad in a scholar's robe of dark blue and white, made of the finest silk. Li Jian Chu almost never carries any weapons, though a walking stick of white wood he sometimes keeps with him has often seen misuse as such. He moves as if every motion is considered and part of a greater design or dance, often slow but smoothly and without any wasteful gestures.'' |

'''Ei-Zen Hon''' is a Chosen of Endings no more than two centuries old who went ronin after a series of disastrous missions left him with wounds both bodily and mental. As his hiding place from the Bureau he choose an old and secret manse fatefully claimed by He Who Makes The Rivers Cry, who was teaching his new apprentice there. The Elder No Moon's powers healed the physical scars but more than anything else it was the friendship of Jian Chu who was also recovering from great mental trauma that helped the unfortunate Endbringer cling to sanity and find back to himself. In time they became more than friends and when the young No Moon told him of his failings one evening Ei-Zen Hon began to look for a way to help his lover in turn. And perhaps the Sidereals are indeed the greatest masters of the martial arts for where all his previous teachers had failed Ei-Zen Hon found a solution and the right style for Jian Chu. But their happiness was not meant to last. As the Infallible Messengers describing the consequences of the Reckoner's absence on Fate and Creation became more and more dire he realized that he could not avoid taking his place among the Five-Score Fellowship again. Upon his return he - and worse yet, his own sifu - realized, what he had done: In a moment of weakness he had betrayed Bureau secrets to an outsider. There could be only one solution that would simultaneously hone his conviction and salvage Ei-Zen Hon's position, the ancient Sidereal told the Endbringer: Li Jian Chu had to die by his own hand. And so it is that with great regret Ei-Zen Hon has begun to pursue his former lover's death. Nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of duty, thus is the lonely life of a Sidereal. | '''Ei-Zen Hon''' is a Chosen of Endings no more than two centuries old who went ronin after a series of disastrous missions left him with wounds both bodily and mental.

Although he has given up many of his fears during his initiation into sorcery one fear remains with Jian Chu since his terrifying experiences in the haunted forest: Though he is a great admirer of beauty in its many forms there are people and entities that approach too close to perfection for comfort, that recall in him the horror of the Fair Lord and his inhumanly beautiful hunter-tormentors. His courage fails him in those situations. Thankfully, perverse though it may sound, it is rare to find such beauty in this fallen age. | Although he has given up many of his fears during his initiation into sorcery one fear remains with Jian Chu since his terrifying experiences in the haunted forest: Though he is a great admirer of beauty in its many forms there are people and entities that approach too close to perfection for comfort, that recall in him the horror of the Fair Lord and his inhumanly beautiful hunter-tormentors.

Huan Zhao (previously Li-Deng Zhao), a cousin from the Deng branch of the family, grew up together with Jian and shared the same strict instructors. After a protracted duel of academic and mindgame one-upmanship the two boys so close in age and with similar gifts of intelligence became the best of friends. This friendship continued as boys became men with their own, different responsibilities even when occasional letters were all the contact they had after Zhao was married into the Huan family a few months before the fateful day of caravan attack. When Jian returned to the family from his enforced hermitage a few weeks ago he sent Zhao a cryptic note to tell him him that contrary to general knowledge he was still alive, but he has not yet met him in person, unsure how he would react to his tattoos and their personal and political implications. | Huan Zhao (previously Li-Deng Zhao), a cousin from the Deng branch of the family, grew up together with Jian and shared the same strict instructors.
