 Jade is an Asian Shen-Lung dragon who appears in Soldier, Legion (Book) and Inferno

## Soldier (Book)

A while before the events of Solider, Jade lived in a monastery that she inherited from her mother and grandmother on Mount Huashan, located in China. But after refusing to join Talon, the Organization sent the Order of St. George after Jade and her Monks that she'd known since infancy. Only two of her Monks survived. They went to England to track the Patriarch to find out how they managed to find and attack their temple. While tracking the Patriarch, they found Garret doing the same thing, so they brought him to a basement to interrogate him. After Garret revealed that he found out Talon and the Order was working together, Jade and Garret went to the U.S. to rescue Ember and Riley from a St. George raid. Jade had ordered her two monks to remain in England. After rescuing Ember and Cobalt, Jade took Garret and the two dragons to The Zhang Zi Temple. She stated that the monks living there were aware of dragon kind's existence, but were sworn to secrecy. Upon their arrival, Cobalt recognizes that Jade is an Eastern dragon and accuses her species of being cowards for "hiding" in their temples and "pretending" that Talon's war with the Order isn't happening. Jade responds, with a bitter smile stating that their western cousins' reputation for rudeness is well-founded. Riley, in defense, says "At least we stand & fight". Garret breaks up the argument stating that they're not enemies. Later on, Ember goes to the lake in the back of the temple to think and runs into Jade. Ember asked Jade if she ever met a dragon a felt as if she'd known them even though they never met since that's how she feels with Cobalt/Riley. Jade tells Ember that Cobalt is her Sallith'tahn. A Sallith'tahn is when dragons who come to mate become life-mates or permanent mates. However, this is uncommon since a dragon mating pair depart after they mate, and due to the fact that Talon forbids to teach it to it's younger generations. Ember is shocked by this as she's also in love with Garret and feels the same way towards him, just different.

## Legion (Book)

Jade is present when Ember leaves Garret for the main room in Riley's safe house. Jade greets Ember as she approaches. She also plays a major role in the battle at the Western Chapterhouse in fighting Dante's clones.

## Inferno (Book)

When Dante goes to the Eastern Council to deliver the message "Join Talon or die", Jade gives Dante a letter explaining everything Talon plans on doing to Ember. Dante is initially suspicious but Jade advises him in the letter, that he just had to do some investigation of his own in order to discover weather or not she is telling the truth. Later, she brings to Eastern Dragons from China to fight against TALON's forces. However they are both KIA. When Cobalt searches for Ember and co. Jade is the 1st to spot them and alerts him. When the Elder Wyrm arrives to finish the rouges and St. George off, Ember orders Jade to conjure up a thunder storm. Jade agrees and flies up to summon one. The Elder Wyrm express relief of this as she thinks Jade is fleeing the battle scene.

In the Epilogue Jade enters the Ember's meeting in her reformed Talon as a representative of the Eastern Dragons.
