Kao Tenzin

A lower-ranking member of the Axe Gang's leadership, Kao was once a rebellious rich kid from Shanghai, leading a small entourage of thugs. Finding life in China stifling, he had aspirations of moving to the west, which never materialized due to the Human-Vannai War.
As the self-stylized "Wolf of Shanghai", Kao rose to dominate the local gangs in the intervening years between the start of the war and the Great Hibernation, plying them into a small, brutal army of killers, thieves and slavers along end of the Yangtze. Kao was anxious to control access to the river, as he had always intended to return to Shanghai one day as the city's liberator and ruler, but was never able to due to fear of awakening the Gigafort Tower of God that had embedded itself there. He established a large settlement around Xiachao Lake, which acted as a center of operations for his bandits and represented the only human settlement of its kind within 600km of Shanghai.
Although a member of the Axe Gang Bandits, Kao was not a suit user and had no association with them. He resented the Axe Gang's inner circle of leadership consisting of Pilots, a fact that set him at odds with another, higher-ranking member of the gang, Ren Xieren.
During the China War, Kao's portion of the Axe Gang came into conflict with a cell of the Heaven sect the Lotus of Rebellion lead by the idealistic Kim Hao. The two factions engaged in numerous skirmishes against one another over control of the area around Wuxue.
