 I used to be. I used to be the hands of the Jade Dragon. My family's ancestral guardian animal. Until my brother grew evil in his heart and head from the influence of his wife, who was out to destroy us for some imagined misdeeds her family committed without her knowledge. It was all a plot to acquire our prime lands in the area. Greed, corruption, jealousy and the pursuit of power ran rampant in their hearts and minds. We found this too late. 
 
 Our family went up in smoke and flames the night they attacked us and burned our land and lives down. I can still hear the roars of the Jade Dragon as it fought to escape and burned. They echo in my mind. I used to be the hands of the Jade Dragon, riding it through the countryside. That was freedom. No more. I am Jade. I am vengeance and I will have it. He and I are one now. I have his mark. Fear us.
