Xue Yan was a Chinese Assassin who served under the Mentor Xiao Han alongside Liu Qing in the early 18th century.
Biography
In 1725, Xue Yan and Liu Qing 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, Xiao Han and his Assassins drew arms and prepared to attack Sun and his guards.[1]
While Xiao Han chased after Sun, both Xue Yan and Liu Qing fended off his men and the Templar Shimazu Saito's ninja in his service.[2] As Liu Qing fought Saito, Xue Yan attempted to provide cover with her crossbow but was forced to dispatch more of Sun's men who arrived as reinforcements. The chaos eventually allowed Sun to recover the sea log in Xiao Han's possession and he soon fled with his reinforcements. Seeing this, Xue Yan and Liu Qing followed their leader to pursue Sun and recover the sea log.[3]
Personality and traits
Xue Yan was a dedicated Assassin who followed her 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. She occasionally engaged in banter with Liu Qing, at one point taking the opportunity to mock her fellow Assassin's allegedly poor swimming skills.[4]
Equipment and skills
Extremely quick and light on her feet, Xue Yan specialized in ranged weaponry unlike her fellow Assassins. She had mastered her weapon of choice, the crossbow, being able to fire multiple bolts in rapid succession and with pinpoint accuracy to take out large groups of enemies.[2] Despite this, she struggled to provide cover fire to Liu Qing while the latter was dueling Shimazu Saito, as the two were too close for Xue Yan to get a clear shot on Saito.[3]
