	*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.

			*Lao Min's mother - possesses the ability to understand and communicate with rats, apparently due to being a descendant of Mister Shu, the Lao family patron and possible rat-god. The pack remain uncertain as to what she actually is as a result of her dubious heritage.

	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.

			===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.

			===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.

			===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.

			===The Old Dog-Walker's Club - Unknown===
			The 'old dog-walkers club' is more of a rumour than a pack - a tale told amongst the Uratha of Hong Kong. The 'dog-walkers' are said to be the human and Wolf-Blooded members of old lesser packs that have since been destroyed or fallen apart, left to their own devices without Uratha leadership. The stories have it that sometimes a werewolf finds herself stalked and watched by a group of these humans as they gather information about her every move. Often, the dog-walkers then vanish once more, and the Uratha doesn't seem them again. Sometimes, though, the werewolf vanishes too.

	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.
