'''Jing Lang''' (1686 – 1717) was a [[China|Chinese]] [[Templars|Templar]], [[Piracy|pirate]], and a target of [[Edward Kenway]] in the early 18th century. Born to Chinese rebels, Jing Lang came into the world fighting, but survived to become a skilled diplomat with a flair for languages and a taste for discovery. Ambitious, Lang married son of a General in the Qing dynasty, joining the Tamplar order, but severing ties with her family in the process. She served as a diplomatic advisor, until a shift in poltitcal tides provoked her escape into piracy. Over the next decade, she crossed every sea, developing a reputaton for brutality that preceded her in most conflicts. In the West Indies she fell under the spell of a rumored cache of treasuer and feined love for Vance in order to get his half of the map, and goading Vance to try and have his brother killed underminig his manhood so he could finish the task; however, after encountering Vance's death she fled from Edward Kenway hoping to not meet the same fate but was in vane for she soon met her end. In her final words she revealed to have been married and gave the real maps to her husband; she died at age 30.

In 2013, her [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] were used as an Animi Avatar by the [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]] of the Templar company [[Abstergo Industries]], to influence the general public via the [[Animus]] game console, under the title of the [[Orchid]].

Personality:

She has proved to be extremely controlling, manipulative, and brutal gaining the reputation as her time as a pirate later faking her love for Vance who loved her would often convince him to do her bidding under the assumption of being together; moreover, she was already married when she was with Vance only using him to get the map, and showing no real pity sadness when Vance was killed and in her dying breath refered to both of them as fools.

One of the Abstergo entertainment developers felt a hint that she might have been a sociopath.
