History
The son of an illegal immigrant couple that sought to escape from China in last years of the millennia; his parents had been smuggled into America by way of the Triad. Unfortunately the travel proved too harsh on his poor mother who passed away during a period where they were moved in shipping containers to avoid detection by land. At that point Xin was barely a year old and his father a weak husk of a person by the time he managed to reach his brother's place in Chicago. Xin's uncle was a someone who'd set himself a small restaurant in China Town and garnered the respect of his neighbors for being a tough but fair man. He paid no heed to the turmoil of the gangs and did not discriminate between customers. He did not suck up to the cops or offer bribes for protection. He'd earned the nickname 'Great Wall' for this feat but he did not let t go to his head.
As for Xin's father had improved over time but was left in pieces by the ordeal. Not liking to travel long distances, go to the sea or even talking to the customers that asked to thank the chef. His father was called the 'Wraith' by the regulars who came to eat at their place. Xin grew up under the guidance of his Uncle more than his own father. It got to the point where people thought the poor child had lost both his parents. In some ways ... Xin had.
Xin was a smart boy both in schooling and in practice. Under the tutorship of the local professors who'd long since retired, who started teaching the boy when asked by his uncle, he learned everything in a manner of one on one that made up for the lack of formality. Similarly another local who worked with his Uncle decided to teach him something else that would prove to be useful. Muay Thai. As you can imagine the man was not purely Chinese but a mix. In Xin he found an able bodied individual who had time and dedication but little place to put it to good use.
This continued to be his life till the age of 16 when his father died.
The affair was small and attended by very few people. He recalled being unable to cry for the silent man who'd been more like his nickname than others could ever imagine. After that point there were issues regarding adoption. While his uncle had settled in legally and was a recognized citizen, he was born out at sea to illegals. He'd no papers to his name only words. His uncle had no wife or children but the issue lay with the law as always.
Xin grew to despise the law. The iron laws of China that forced his parents to flee and the laws that prevented him from being recognized as a person due to the circumstances of his birth. By age 18 his tutors had almost all passed away or moved into retirement homes at the behest of their families. His only remaining guardians were his uncle and Muay Thai instructor.
That was until an issue arose with the Rose Corps.
In a case where his instructor found out that there was going to be a shipment of Thai people being trafficked into slavery by way of some drunk members at the store; his mentor made a rash decision to try and liberate them. To his credit he'd taken down nearly a dozen men before they gunned him down in a hail of hot lead and cold stares.
Despite his Uncle's efforts at steering Xin on the right path it would have seemed that his fate was tightly interwoven with that of the Triad.
After training alone among the hustlers and thugs of the street for years he'd managed to form ties with the Western Dragon Triad. This would mark the start of his revenge on the Rose corp. His primary focus was building up a reputation over time in the Triad by starting as a bodyguard and delivery boy for the Weapons dealers in the WDT. Given his non-existent records and the clean look he had, the group made use of him thoroughly and that was fine by him. When the time came he'd make sure they'd repay the favor.
