CrowFeatherShen

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.

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.
