LAO MA

This extraordinary woman is the real ruler of the house of Lao in Chin. Officially only the consort of Lau Tsu, she works tirelessly behind the curtains to unite Chin. Though she is a powerful wizard, she refuses to use her powers to harm even her enemies, unless the lives of innocent people depend on it. Her philosophy of peace and serenity helps her cope with the estrangement of her son, Ming T’ien. She will do anything to keep him safe.
   Clerical goal: making Chin an enlightened empire of peace.
