Jing Lang (1686 – 1717) was a Chinese Templar, pirate, and a target of Edward Kenway in the early 18th century.
In 2013, her genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the entertainment branch of the Templar company Abstergo Industries, to influence the general public via the Animus game console, under the title of the Orchid.
Final words
- Jing: Imagine, the queen of pirates, Jing Lang, defeated for a fake map. I have been arrogant.
- Edward: Really?
- Jing: Yes. I stole the real one. Both halves. My husband has it.
- Edward: Your husband?
- Jing: A better man than these fools.
Trivia
- Jing is the pinyin transliteration of multiple Chinese surnames, the exact surname in this case being unknown. Likewise, Lang is a transliteration of various homophonic Mandarin words. However, the title of her Animi Avatar indicates that her name may perhaps be 蘭 (simplified: 兰) meaning "orchid," though it is properly transliterated as Lán.
