Crow-Feather Shen is thought to be just as inauspicious a presence as his sobriquet implies.  It is said that those who fight alongside Shen should fight with shovels, in order to facilitate the digging of their graves.  Crow-Feather does not discourage these rumblings; on the contrary, he seems to welcome them.  Forced into the army of a local lord at a too-tender age, he has survived countless battles, and he has a body tattooed with scars to show for it.

Crow-Feather Shen never refuses a fight, and more often than not seeks them out.  Though his sifu long chided him for his brash temper, Shen never thought himself brash; on the contrary, he thinks it the height of prudence to put oneself and one's kung fu out in the world for criticism and test.  Every battle is a chance to discover something about oneself, to identify weaknesses and to purge them from one's mind.<br>

Many are surprised to learn that Shen is counted among the Heaven Sword Alliance, given his surly demeanor, selfish attitudes and unwholesome habits.  When they see him wield his sword, however, they know well - as did his Sword Eccentric sifu - that there, virtue resides.

Crow-Feather Shen never refuses a fight, and more often than not seeks them out. Though his sifu long chided him for his brash temper, Shen never thought himself brash; on the contrary, he thinks it the height of prudence to put oneself and one's kung fu out in the world for criticism and test. Every battle is a chance to discover something about oneself, to identify weaknesses and to purge them from one's mind.

What could be brash about that?
