Plays in Lost in Jianghu


Azure Falcon (as he is known) is the disciple of the Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon of the East. He's the only one to have been acknowledged as such so far, and much of his background is unknown, to the consternation of observers in the wulin. It's speculated that he could be the Azure Dragon's son, or lover (although there are so many of those it would hardly mark him out), or possibly art project.

He's appears a young, dashing, stereotypical xia in many way, out seeking adventure and fame. Which is mostly true, but only part of the story. The Four Saint Beasts, as they vie with each other for influence and over distinctions of their personal philosophy, also have a common agenda. They consider themselves (by virtue of their own power if nothing else) to be the pillars and balancers of the wulin; their collective fingers are in every pie, and they have many agents. Azure Falcon is one such.

Azure Falcon is a handsome man with long hair tied in a ponytail, and wears tastefully embroidered blue robes befitting a noble warrior. His personal philosophy is one of beauty in excellence, which he displays in every motion of his jian, Spring Willow
