Zhang Zetao

**Zhang Zetao** *(played by Kane)* is a son of Hecate. He is known for his humble and almost innocent childish attitude as well as his caring demenour.

## Biography

Zetao was born in Zhujiang New Town in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China to his father, Zhang Han, a highly talented and beloved model and Mandarin Language movie actor. Growing up in a rather southern swath of China, Zetao uses both Cantonese and Standard Mandarin as most southern people are comfortable in both. Whether walking through Zhujiang Park or sitting in any movie theater across the southern region, it is all too common to hear someone speak in one and someone respond in another. Growing up, Zetao always felt effectively isolated in an albeit beautiful prison. While he was surrounded by the most elite, worldly, and wealthy of China’s upper class, he found that they all seemed to look down on his father who made his money through what they regarded as too easy and common. This distaste extended into their offspring, leaving Zetao alone in the city with only his father to occasionally keep him company.

Given his father’s talents and abilities, he was also prone to pride, greed, and narcissism even in the early days of his career. Dangerous rumors had always seemed to accompany the star and, specifically, what happened to the men and women he worked with in his productions. Ranging from the smallest whispers of his ego and self-importance to the quietly swept aside tales of violence, these stories were never far from the public image of Zeato’s father. He had weathered scandal after scandal, emerging victorious when others would have failed. Ultimately, his method of acting and style had so enchanted Hecate that she had granted him a gift beyond their child in the form of a ring that granted an eternally youthful complexion that never seemed to age or show any sign of flaw.

As what so often happens to humans, this only drove his ego and pride to new heights beyond the realm of entertainment. He began to lust after objects of supposed magical power, pursuing artifacts across the world to match the power of the ring. Soon, he began to leave his son at home for long stretches of time to pursue bracelets that granted flight or talismans that gave immortality. Zetao had to grow up as the son of the man that everyone recognized from their movie screens but hadn’t seen anything of him in years. During one of his father’s trips to the farthest reaches of the country to become a member of a supposed fringe spiritual group that promised everything he had craved, Zetao was attacked and driven across the world by a band of Scythian Dracaena who had disguised themselves as red dragons during the Chinese New Year festivities. He's been at camp for close to five years now.
