Daolon Wong

Daolon Wong is an exceptionally powerful wizard and Dark Chi master bent on acquiring more power and spreading evil.

He is introduced as a recurring villain and acts as the primary antagonist in the Twelve Portals Saga.

## Appearance

Daolon Wong is a scrawny, elderly man with pale skin, long grey hair, grey goatee, and long chipped fingernails.

The palms of his hand have circular demon mouths used mainly to extract chi from other magic beings.

He wears a black robe with pointed shoulders, and a teal-blue shirt beneath covering his torso and upper arms with black clothing on his forearms.

While his feet are often hidden under his long robe, he does wear blue shoes.

Daolon has heterochromia; teal-blue on the right eye, dark yellow on the left eye.

He also has two facial tattoos, one of which also appears on his Dark Chi Warriors, while the other is a *Harry Potter*-styled lighting bolt going across his left eye.

Ratso once mistook him for *KISS* drummer Peter Criss.

## Personality

Daolon Wong's most prominent trait is his devotion to uphold the darkness in the balance between good and evil.

He takes pride in his status as "the most malevolent of dark chi masters" and a member of the forces of darkness, and is shown to be willing to kill to advance his goals, like he shows by intending several times to kill innocent animals and confirming to have killed Chi Master Fong at some point.

However, he does value upholding bargains with other dark forces (he even refers to Shendu as his "brother in darkness").

Unlike many other villains who are motivated by their own self-interest, Daolon's evil actions are based almost entirely on perpetuating a common cause rather than just for his own sake.

Wong is also highly confident of his abilities and knowledge to the point of condescendingness.

After he's stripped of his powers, he retains confidence in his remaining abilities.

Most of his defeats are the result of humiliating (and, in hindsight, almost random, unpredictable and even downright miraculous in some cases) circumstances, courtesy of the protagonists's meddling or via other underestimated factors and values.

While highly vindictive, Wong focuses his antagonism primarily towards Uncle and secondarily towards Jackie and the others.

Uncle's position as a Light Chi Wizard and an apprentice of Chi Master Fong makes Wong regard him as his primary foe and the leading force behind the Chans who can oppose him only with Uncle's guidance.

Regardless of that, the dark wizard arrogantly views Uncle as a novice when compared to himself.

He has as low opinion of many others, such as Valmont and the Monkey King.

However, he talks to Shendu respectfully when he first contacts the Demon Sorcerer of Fire, addressing him as "Lord Shendu" and "brother of darkness", but changes his attitude toward the dragon after being betrayed and agrees to reveal Lo Pei's sealing spell after he's stripped of his powers and arrested, albeit only after some playing on his desire for revenge.

Wong proves to be a harsher taskmaster towards the Enforcers than Valmont, Shendu, Tarakudo or Drago.

After his original Dark Chi Warriors are imprisoned, he merely enslaves the Enforcers as replacements, expecting the same obedience from them as he did from the original warriors, addressing them as his old warriors and lashing out at them both verbally and violently.

At one point Wong mangles the enforcer's bodies for speaking out of turn.

When Hak Foo appears and effortlessly defeats the Enforcers, Wong is impressed and makes the Black Tiger his new warrior.

However, his high opinion on Hak Foo ceases as soon as Hak Foo's success rate ends, leading Wong to place blame on him as much as on the other Enforcers.

Wong seems to have a fondness of dramatics and gloating, indulging in them especially when victory seems evident (though this tends to blow in his face).

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

Daolon Wong claims to have defeated (killed) Uncle's sensei in Chi Wizarding, but given his lack of knowledge on some of Uncle's more powerful spells leads to the assumption that Daolon either killed the Wizard when he was weak, asleep or did some other dirty tactic before taking his life.

Though Uncle vouches for his power, Daolon's constant defeats at the hand of the wizard seem to indicate that Uncle overestimates Daolon's actual powers.

None the less, he is a powerful wizard with access to a great amount of magic, and knowledge that far surpasses Uncle in regards to more foreign and ancient spells.

He even had knowledge of Tarakudo when Uncle had believed Oni to be a fairytale at best.

He was responsible for providing Uncle with the original spell that Lo Pei defeated Shendu with and was able to conjure up control of the Shadow Khan in Shendu's vacancy.

One of Daolon's favored techniques for immobilizing his opponents: when he feels the need or is annoyed by them, he will soften the ground under their feet, and when they have sunk up to their necks, he hardens the surface again and traps them.

This can be done on seemingly any surface such as pavement or cement of the city and the natural soil of China.

Even in a large mystic artifact such as the three monkeys without signs of damaging or affecting its magic.

Aside from this, he also is prone to firing offensive energy blasts from his staff.

The magnitude of damage from these blasts varies from time to time though.

Some occasions he is shown dealing enemies little to no injury by blasting them, whereas on one occasion he's shown breaking open a steel vault door.

Daolon is also capable of creating large protective barriors that could only be shut down with a chi spell, preforming and identifying several aspects of magic such as stone magic, can preform acts of telekinesis without the Rooster Talisman, preforming a highly complex and time-consuming demonic rebirth ritual to revive Shendu and conjure up armor for his enforcers for their final confrontation against Shendu (which never happened).

Daolon can also teleport in a puff of smoke by a mere wave of his staff.

However, it seems that this only allows him to teleport limited distances.

This indicates the level of threat Wong and his Warriors pose.

The source of Daolon's Dark Chi Magic appears to be his small staff which resembles a hollowed out tree root with a blue and purple swirl pattern inside like a vortex.

It can detect several different types of magic, including the talismans, and is what he uses as the focus for his spells as opposed to using Blowfish and lizard mummies or severed shriveled tentacles like Uncle and Tohru.

However when he became disarmed he attempted to use other objects in his arsenal (a skull, a potion and a statue), which were comically tossed aside by Uncle's signature two finger flick.

Daolon Wong uses a specific spell to extract powers and chi.

This involves some chanting and causes his palms to spurt inhuman mouths that absorb the energy if the subject is in a close proximity.

To aid Daolon in his goals and escapades, he has three foot soldier-like dark-chi creatures called Gan, Ren and Chui who do most of his dirty work.

It is unknown if Daolon created them himself or got them from another source, or like the Dark Hand in season three enspelled willing servants into his ranks.

Though only foot soldiers in regards to any actual rank that Daolon could provide, they are extremely powerful and have been able to overwhelm Jackie Chan, each in a one-on-one battle.

However, they seem to be incapable of improving their skillset as Jackie was shown to be able to defeat them in later episodes.

Daolon lost them when Uncle trapped them in the Urn of Wei Chieng.

Thus he was forced to draft the Dark hand thugs into replacing his lost assets.

Later he did the same with Hak Foo.

He can also summon a building-sized Ogre, but only did so once, indicating that he can only do so under certain circumstances or requires to make a sacrifice to do so.

Physically Daolon appears to be rather weak and frail judging from his body shape and the fact that he is unable to hold his own in a physical fight, being practically defenseless without his magic; though he seems to be at least capable of some rudimentary feats such as holding onto moving gears with only one hand and is durable enough to survive and stay conscious after being kicked by Jackie Chan.

Due to his resilience, it's possible Daolon may have some magical enhancements.

At the end of the War, Daolon lost most of his abilities and was put into custody.
