Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

-B. 1505
-[[Shao Jun]] is an [[Assassins|Assassin]] from [[China]], and one of the last Assassins to meet [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] before his death.
-Jun was born in royal captivity during the [[Ming dynasty|Ming Dynasty]]. She spent her teenage years life as one of the favoured concubines of the Chinese emperor [[Zhengde Emperor|Zhengde]]. While not an ideal lifestyle - though I wouldn't mind it, it's better than digging ditches - Zhengde's taste for travel meant that by the age of 15 Jun had seen more of the world than most people of the era - which I suppose you might consider a bright side, if you try not to realise that even some cats had seen more of the world than most people of the era.
-In 1521, the Assassin Order used the confusion surrounding Zhengde's death to infiltrate the emperor's compound and free some of the concubines, Jun among them. She immediately became an Assassin - but never forgot the women she'd been forced to leave behind. Years later, she returned to the Imperial Palace to free the remaining concubines, only to find that they had been killed by Zhengde's successor, [[Jiajing Emperor|Jiajing]].
-Jiajing's response to the second attack on the Imperial Palace was swift and brutal, and caught the Assassins unprepared. The [[Chinese Assassins|Brotherhood]] in eastern China was decimated. Shao Jun and her mentor survived, but were forced to flee [[Asia]] entirely. They travelled to seek the advice of Ezio Auditore - but only Shao Jun would finish the journey, arriving in [[Florence]] in 1524, shortly before Ezio's death.
