## Biography:

### **Early Life:**

Wei was born to the powerful Wei family of Sea-Isli's Ka Clan and was raised along side his brother Cho in Weilou Estate. Both were raised in the art of politics and rulership, though Wei much preferred the art of music.

### The Red Cowl Revolt**:**

During his adolescence, a group of sorcerers known as the "Red Cowl" began to preach among the upset peasantry, igniting the long boiling anger of the lower classes against the rich noble clans. Estates were struck with riots and many noble lords were lynched in their own homes including Wei's father Leu. Spurned to avenge their father Wei and his brother, Wei joined the Imperial army in their battles against the Red Cowl. Here he would meet many of his future allies: the half-merfolk assassin Vian Lu-Shui, the Mòuge Xiake, the fiery sellsword Ajoni Az-Reze and the mad cap Chun Ge-Fang. In the battle he also saved the young strategist sent from Highhelm Thurnir Torm'son who swore himself to his service, making Wei one of the few humans to have a dwarven sworn second. He would help defeat the rebels but would observe the corruption of many noble clans who were responsible for this deed, and so he would swore to always care for the peasantfolk to prevent such a conflict between the classes from happening again.

### Coalition against the Tyrant:

Emperor Renger Ge-Remil died of a stroke in the year 1098 E.o,S, leaving his two year old son Adiitya on the throne and the Stilettan queen mother Anna Meria as regent. Many Sea-Islians grew restless at a foreigner ruling the Empire and the warlord Doung Ge-Goung took power with the aid the Fomorian Bu-Lu. This would anger many of the other clans who formed a coalition against the tyrant, among them the Wei Brothers. Many battles were fought in the campaign against the tyrant with great losses on both sides. Eventually they learned that in case of defeat, Doung planned to burn the capital as a distraction as he fled. Wei, Thurnir and the other coalition lords and strategists hat to act fast; they sent the assassin Vian Lu-Shui to infiltrate city using a previously captured banner while the coalition’s forces were sent to distract his armies. He would also begrudgingly agree to let his friend Xiake distract Bu-Lu resulting his injury and near death. But the plan succeeded with the assassin killing the drunk Doung with little trouble and the armies of the Tyrant breaking upon the presentation of his severed head, including Bu-lu who was said to have fled the battle in with superhuman speed upon learning of his leader’s death.

### War of the Eight Princes:

But the peace was not to last as the Coalition broke apart due to in-fighting soon after the victory. Queen Anna Meria was not found in the city and her son, the Emperor had been taken by supporters of Bu-Lu to protect their master Sai Su-Saki wo had recovered the Imperial Seal and fled to the west, proclaiming himself the new Emperor, as did Rayash Ge-Hita who founded the coalition and was part of the Imperial Clan, and of course most of the other warlords fought to place their clan heads on the Sunrise Throne.

Seeking to end the seemingly eternal conflict, Wei took his army along with that of his cousin and close friend Tannere Ka-Riss to take back the Seal. He managed to recover it but at great cost.

After the battle, he left his army and lands in the hands of his friend Tannere and left to spend some time in Highhelm with Thurnir, his friend and advisor at his side.
