Black Wolf

**Black Wolf**, real name **An Chen** (Chinese: 陈安, Chén ān) is as mystical as she is deadly. Nobody knows her true past, although she claims on numerous occasions to be a reincarnation of Queen Dowager Zhao, the wife of ancient emperor Qin Shi Huang, though whether this is confirmed or not is yet to be determined. Regardless, she is a rather lethal assassin.

## Biography

### Early life

Born under the name **An Chen**, her past is hard to decipher. What is known, however, is that she was born on August 19th, 1977, although she claims to be a reincarnation of Queen Dowager Zhao, the wife of Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty. This is as of yet unconfirmed but it is known that she is indeed related to the late Qin Shi Huang himself.

### Black Wolf

At some point, An Chen joined the Ten Rings, a Chinese syndicate of assassins, and became the Black Wolf, a ruthless Chinese assassin who was known to be not only incredibly sadistic in her assassination missions, but remarkably adept in Chinese martial arts. As the Black Wolf, An Chen's specialty was sword fighting, although she also is skilled in various martial arts, including (but not limited to) Kung Fu, and Wushu.

With these skills, the Black Wolf was a master assassin, credited with at least fifty five kills from the year 2002 to 2016.

## Personal details

### Physical appearance

An Chen is a short Chinese woman, about 5'5" and weighing approximately 133 lbs. She has black hair and brown eyes. Despite being in her forties, An Chen appears to be younger, possibly due to extensive skin care and (allegedly) dark magic.

### Habits and beliefs

An Chen is a practitioner in Chinese paganism, particularly ancestor worship. She deifies Qin Shi Huang, believing him to be a god incarnate.

## Abilities and Powers

### Powers

* **Longevity**: An Chen claims to have lived for centuries due to being reincarnated multiple times. Whether reincarnation is the true cause of her surviving all the way to the 21st century is unknown.

### Abilities

* **Master Martial Artist**: The Black Wolf is an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, trained in Kung Fu, Wushu and other Chinese fighting styles that has left many Westerners baffled.

## Equipment

### Weapons

* **Katana:** During her early years as the Black Wolf, An Chen carried a katana, which she claims to have stolen from a slain Samurai warrior in ancient times before being reincarnated.
* **Jin dao sabre**: This weapon was used against Konstantin Robinson during her first encounter with the former supersoldier.
* **Butterfly sword**: During her early years as the Black Wolf, An Chen kept a butterfly sword strapped to her person.
* **Jian**: A double edged sword that became An Chen's signature weapon during her career as the Black Wolf from 2016 onwards.
* **Throwing knife**: An Chen carries a bandolier containing throwing knives on her waist.

## Trivia

* She considers it "dishonorable" to fight with a firearm, since guns can kill at long range and killing at long range is, according to the honor code of the Ten Rings, seen as cowardly.

Robert Henson

**Robert Henson** is one of the main antagonists that appear in 1987 film *The Brother Adventure* along with his younger sister, Chloe Henson. He and Chloe's dog, Fluffy, don't have a good relationship and constantly try to make the other look bad in front of Chloe.

Robert and Chloe find themselves in a difficult position with their illegal diamond smuggling operation as they no longer have any couriers that can deliver their contraband to their buyers without being caught by police, led by INTERPOL Inspector Johnson. When they overhear The Brothers and The Buttercup Sisters arguing over who would win a real game of *Around the World in 30 Days*, mostly Danny and Daisy, Chloe decides to use them as the Henson' couriers to deliver the diamonds under the surmise that the winners would receive a prize of $100,000. Though Robert has his doubts and concerns on the matter, his younger sister overrules him as she wants to lead this operation and ensure their smuggling can continue despite Johnson's interference.

However, as time passes, Robert and Chloe learn that the Buttercup Sisters have diverted from their assigned delivery route, unaware that they were returning a baby penguin to its family in Antarctica. Fearing the Buttercup Sisters have caught onto their scheme, Chloe dispatches her men to capture them and retrieve both the remaining diamonds and the collected money from the buyers.

Later, the Hensons are waiting for the Brothers and Buttercup Sisters at the airport when the Buttercup Sisters' balloon crashes onto the tarmac. Acting like they are still glad to see both teams made it back safely, they soon learn that the Brothers and Buttercup Sisters have discovered the scheme and will have no part in it any longer. After a chase through the airport terminal, Robert and Chloe manage to force the Brothers and Buttercup Sisters into their car under threat of kidnapping Miss Griffin if they don't cooperate. Robert is just forcing Danny into the car when Danny's hat is blown off by the wind, allowing Jeff, who had just exited the terminal after returning from his trip to Europe, to find it and discover that the Hensons have kidnapped the Brothers and Buttercup Sisters. Jeff and Johnson give pursuit in a marked police cruiser loaned to Johnson by the local police, but the Hensons are able to cause a traffic accident to lose them. As Robert and Chloe believe that, in minutes, they will be on their way to Costa Rica and safety on their private jet with the Brothers and Buttercup Sisters as their hostages, karma catches up to them when Miss Griffin, driving the wrong way up the highway to the airport to pick up Jeff after missing her exit, causes their car to swerve to avoid her and crash into a lamppost, wrecking it and allowing Johnson to soon arrive with police backup to take the Hensons into custody. Robert can only sarcastically toast his sister on how they nearly had victory in their clutches before being handcuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser to be taken to prison.

Once together again, Alvin believes that they are the lost heirs of the Seville fortune so they set out to the Seville Manor, by rowboat, to investigate if they have any relation to the man who owned it. At the manor a creepy butler greets them and they begin exploring. Alvin throws a gauntlet that hits a bear causing it to chase Theodore. A knight joins until they disappear through bookcase doors.

Mad About Danny

**Mad About Danny** is an episode of *The Brothers* series.

## Plot

While fighting over a pair of socks, Jeff tells Danny and Corey that fighting never solves anything and instead they should talk things through. Later at school during art class, Danny accidentally spills some yellow paint on a big, angry looking classmate. He does his best to clean it off, remarking that he can now say his shirt was painted personally by Danny. The student, named "Big Basher" warns Alvin to be more careful in the future. Three fellow classmates, who were bored after the teacher took their TV away, saw what happened between Alvin and Basher and decide to have some fun. They talk to Alvin and after he admits he wasn't scared during the previous conflict, he agrees to fight Basher at 3PM. The three students then talk to Basher and tell him Alvin has challenged him to a fight and Basher agrees to the challenge. Once Alvin learns that Basher agreed to the fight, he tries to escape from the school. However, his attempts are thwarted each time by a teacher, one of the three students from before, some dogs, the janitor and finally Dave, who wonders why Alvin is cutting school when it is time for a trumpet lesson. At 3PM Alvin and Basher are carried to the back of the gym for their fight by fellow students eager to see Basher win. Meanwhile the three instigating students had been spreading the word about the fight in various forms. One of the students informs Dave about the fight and after learning Danny's one of the kids involved, he rushes to the school to try and stop it. Back at the school, Theodore is able to end the fight by getting Alvin and Basher to talk. They learn it was all just a misunderstanding and that neither hates the other, and that the whole point of the fight was for amusement of the three instigators, who run off in fear. Danny also admits he was scared of Big Rusher reputation as a bully, but Basher says that is untrue, rather he got his nickname from being a drummer, or "bashing the drums". Seeing how Basher is a music fan, Danny agrees to be friends. However, a misunderstanding by Dave and Big Basher's father leads the two to almost fight. Danny takes Jeff away, and Basher does the same with his father before the two men ended up hurting themselves for no reason save for a few adults to get their thrills.

## Biography

### *Danny and the Brothers*

Miss Griffin's first appearance is in Help Wanted: Mommy in which she takes in The Buttercup Sisters. She has difficulty transitioning into a mother figure for the girls as she initially treats them as babies and is a bit old-fashioned. Though she at first believes she isn't the best person to take care of The Buttercup Sisters, she grows to love and appreciate their company.

She also appears several times in the television series as The Brothers baby-sitter or their driver. Miss Griffin is shown to be dangerous in a car and the boys are usually terrified by her driving. She is seen in multiple episodes speeding, swerving across the road, and hitting objects such as fire hydrants and light poles. Her flying isn't much better as seen in Marlon Says.

She is sometimes viewed by Daisy as demanding such as in Cinderella? Cinderella! and My Pharaoh Lady, but she does her make it up to her when appropriate.

Miss Griffin's memory is also not the best. For example, in Goin’ Down to Dixie not only does she forget the girls on the sidewalk to drive to the airport (she knew she forgot something but was unsure of what), she also forgot to buy tickets.

### *The Brothers Go to the Movies*

Miss Griffin's only appearance was in Funny, We Shrunk the Adults in which she plays the role of Zelda.

### *DANNNY!!! and The Brothers*

Miss Griffin has so far only made a few minor appearances in Albrittina, Who's Your Daddy, and Bromance, with the exception of Mancave, The Great Brother Detective, You Troll, Gone Gal, and Writers Block in which she has a larger role.

She appears to be good friends with Miss Olivia in the series.

Because the boys were reluctant to have her around the house at the time Ogre was there, Danny lied to Miss Griffin that Jeff has changed his mind.
