### Extra lore

Feng Mao was once First Guardian of the Emperor of Shangdi. He achieved the honor quite young and was supremely confident. Too confident in fact, because he took unnecessary risks, and almost cost the Emperor his life. Feng left the post under a cloud of shame, and wandered the land, growing in wisdom and patience, turning into the cranky old monk he is today. The title of First Guardian of the Emperor of Shangdi is now held by Yin. *(from V39.5 patch notes on his First Guardian skin)*

*“Feng Mao is the infamous First Guardian who, in his youth, risked the Emperor’s life for a chance at love. In the decades since his banishment, Feng Mao has roamed the countryside, studying philosophy and spearmanship, saving villages from bandits, and scolding Wukong.”*
