Biography
Battle aboard Sun's gambling ship
In 1725, Liu Qing and Xue Yan accompanied Xiao Han to a floating gambling hall in Macau owned by Xiao Han's uncle Sun to follow up on a lead on an Isu site in Indochina. When Sun revealed his intention to surrender the artifact located there to the Qing Emperor, Liu Qing and his fellow Assassins drew arms and prepared to attack Sun and his guards.[1]
While Xiao Han chased after Sun, both Liu Qing and Xue Yan fended off his men and the Templar Shimazu Saito's ninja in his service. Liu Qing killed a number of ninja before engaging in a duel with Saito's second-in-command, whom he eventually managed to slay as well.[2] Having witnessed this, a furious Saito attacked Liu Qing, though she too was defeated when the Assassin struck down his guandao and destroyed the Templar's sword.[3]
Before Liu Qing could execute Saito, the British Assassin Edward Kenway came to her rescue and forced him back. Amidst the chaos, Sun was able to recover the sea log in Xiao Han's possession and he soon fled with his reinforcements. Seeing this, Liu Qing and Xue Yan followed their leader to pursue Sun and recover the sea log.[3]
During their pursuit of Sun, Liu Qing and Xue Yan were attacked by Edward, who was also attempting to retrieve the sea log. The two Assassins briefly fought Edward to buy Xiao Han enough time to catch up to Sun and kill him. After Xiao Han retrieved the log from Sun's body, it was stolen by Edward, who disagreed with the Mentor's plan to use the Isu artifact in Angkor to overthrow the Qing dynasty.[4]
Seeing that the British Assassin could not be reasoned with, Xiao Han declared him an enemy of the Chinese Brotherhood as Liu Qing and Xue Yan arrived and surrounded Edward. Before anything could happen, however, they all witnessed the gambling ship being bombarded with cannon fire by Jeong.[4] Xiao Han used this distraction to snatch the sea log back from Edward and he warned him to stay out of the Chinese Brotherhood's way before leaving with Liu Qing and Xue Yan.[5]
Alliance with Lee
The following morning, Liu Qing, Xue Yan and Xiao Han approached Jeong as the admiral and their crew were investigating the wreckage of Sun's gambling den to confirm his death. Jeong initially pointed their pistol at the Assassins, but after Xiao Han revealed that he had acquired the sea log sought by Jeong's patron Lee Huiyin, the admiral agreed to grant them an audience with her.[5]
Personality and traits
- "As the great General Qi Jiguang once said, be wary of the Japanese with their long swords. I see he was right to be wary!"
- ―Liu Qing during his duel with Shimazu Saito, 1725.[src]-[m]
Liu Qing was a dedicated Assassin who followed his Mentor's every order and, like Xiao Han, sought to see the Chinese Brotherhood restored to its former strength after decades of oppression under the Qing dynasty. He occasionally engaged in banter with Xue Yan,[6] but was a fierce warrior who enjoyed the thrill of battle and looked forward to facing challenging opponents. He recognized both Shimazu Saito and Edward Kenway as worthy foes, and even after defeating the former, he showed her respect by telling her she had "fought the good fight".[3]
Equipment and skills
A large and intimidating warrior, Liu Qing relied on brute strength to overpower his adversaries. This was reflected in his weapon of choice, the guandao, a long and heavy blade which required considerable strength to utilize effectively. Liu Qing appeared to have mastered the weapon, as he used it to defeat a number of well-trained Shimazu clan ninja,[2] as well as Shimazu Saito, whose sword he was able to break in half.[3]
In addition to his guandao, Liu Qing also wielded a ranged weapon in the form of a throwing axe.[4]
