| Dhampir Outcast |
“I was denied my birthright, but I will not be denied your life.”
Ryu’jinn Feixue conceals the knowledge that he descends from an extinct vampire bloodline. Under commandment of the Jade Emperor, the Third and Fifth Imperial Legions brought ruin and destruction to the thrice accursed Ryu’jinn lineage and their Ebon Mountain strongholds. As an illegitimate dhampir, Feixue’s birth was omitted from the clan register and this exclusion kept his heritage secret from the inquisition.
