*Michael Jin – a former manager of the Night Market, Michael died in the early 2000s in a horrific murder; a business rival with schemes on the property's future arranged for a construction 'accident' when a large block of concrete fell from scaffolding onto the man. Mister Jin was a client of the pack at the time, who were surprised by the lucidity his ghost retained after death. Michael is odd, fussy and obsessive, the broken remains of a personality clinging on to existence through his ties to the Night Market. | *Michael Jin – a former manager of the Night Market, Michael died in the early 2000s in a horrific murder; a business rival with schemes on the property's future arranged for a construction 'accident' when a large block of concrete fell from scaffolding onto the man.

Forsaken, mostly Bone Shadows and Storm Lords; their totem is the Pale Mandarin, a spirit of secrets, knowledge and fear. They are known for their information network and the dirt they're said to hold on every figure of note in Hong Kong, their knowledge of death and the Underworld, and their involvement in urban planning and development. Rumour has it that the Tang have successfully used occult geometries to create paths into the Deep Shadow. A few pieces of particularly bitter hearsay that refuse to die have it that the Tang take their marching orders from packs in Beijing. | Forsaken, mostly Bone Shadows and Storm Lords; their totem is the Pale Mandarin, a spirit of secrets, knowledge and fear.

SH Futures appears to be a strange fusion of pack and corporation operating in Hong Kong. A subsidiary of the globe-spanning Cheiron, SHF is best known for its work in the bio-sciences and innovative energy generation solutions.

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. | Also known as the 'gluttonous ogres', taotie are very powerful entities of hunger that have been bound into ceramic masks and pottery.
