"Flowery Flag" (unknown – 1927), was a Sino-American killer hailing from Baltimore and a henchman of Du Yuesheng, the crimeboss of the Green Gang which operated in Shanghai.

Biography

During the Shanghai massacre of 1927, Yuesheng tracked down Ruan Lingyu after she stole a box from the Templars that was destined to Chiang Kai-shek. The crimelord eventually found her trace back to a Temple, where she was hiding with Darius Gift and sent Flowery Flag after them.

Once in the Temple, the killer injured the armed Ruan with a knife and easily subdued the young Templar but was prevented to finish them by the arrival of the Black Cross. The two men engaged in unarmed combat until Flowery flag shot a bullet in the shoulder of his foe with his gun. As the killer was about to finish the Black Cross, Ruan stabbed him in the back. Using the diversion, the Templar quickly wraped his Templar Cross chain around Flowery Flag's neck before pushing him through a window. Flag was hung by the throat with the chain, but considering the height, he probably died of a broken neck before having the time to suffocate.
