Wang Yangming (31 October 1472 – 9 January 1529), born Wang Shouren, was an idealist Neo-Confucian philosopher, official, educationist, calligraphist and general of the Ming dynasty of China.
Secretly a Master Assassin, Wang rose to become an important minister of the Empire and always worked for the benefit of the Assassin cause, until he was confronted by Liu Jin and was shunned from the capital. Years later, after Liu Jin's execution, Wang became governor and was renowned for his military exploits.
Wang returned in court when Emperor Zhengde died and witnessed the takeover of the Templars. He was responsible for recruiting an imperial concubine, Shao Jun, into the Order after she had revealed that she had discovered his secret identity. She warned him of the Tigers' plot to destroy the Brotherhood.
He called his best Assassins into the Forbidden City in an attempt to kill the Tigers before they could strike, but they were defeated. Those captured were tortured and killed using the Ling Chi and those suspected and some innocents were murdered. This led Yangming to order a full retreat of all his agents and possible allies including young Shao Jun from the Forbidden City.
For a while, Wang Yangming led the Beijing Brotherhood, hoping to find a weakness in the tigers' organization and take them down before they could completely steal imperial power. He trained Shao Jun in the arts and philosophy of the Assassins, until she reached the level of Initiate, calling her "little sister". Yangming often used her talents in gathering information critical to his operations.
Following the 1524 Chinese Assassin purge and death of the Mentor Zhu Jiuyuan, Wang succeded him.
