Wu Xuan

A general who once led his troops in bloody battles against the Maskwalkers, later stationed in the backstreets of Pangzhen. His heavy armor shares its origins with that of Zhuo Bi, gatekeeper of the Village of Lu. Looming like an iron tower, he swings his spiked club with crushing force and the bloodlust of a rabid wolf. When cornered, he can turn Sha-Chi into Chaos Fire to sear his enemies.

Countless Transcended have died at his hands, their devices grafted onto his own body. He still lives in the years when Maskwalkers roamed in hordes. Defying every objection, he ordered his entire army to undergo Transcension, only to see his comrades all descend into madness. After putting them down himself, he embedded their devices in his flesh, hoping to bring them home that way.

But his corruption has gone too deep. As device upon device accumulates, his humanity falls away. His consciousness has begun to pass briefly between the Waking Realm and the Discordance, even drawing close to the latter's depths... He understands now that this is their true home. He must devour more devices, draw ever nearer, and deliver the countless souls of the dead to the Blight!

Soul beats him in the backstreets and takes the Transcension Core from his body; fitted to the boat master’s boat, it carries Soul out over Meigu Lake. The game says nothing more of him after that.
