Biography
In 1725, Xiao Han and two of his fellow Assassins, Liu Qing and Xue Yan, arrived at his uncle's floating gambling hall in Macau to discuss a Precursor sitebelieved to be located in Angkor. Sun had gained possession of a sea log given to him by the Templar Shimazu Saito which contained the location of the lost city, but the information was encrypted. Xiao Han was shown the log by his uncle and agreed to help decipher it. Soon after, Sun snatched the log and claimed that, by recovering the treasure in Angkor, he would gain them immense wealth.[1]
When Xiao Han asked his uncle what he intended to do with the treasure, Sun explained that he would present it to the Qing Emperor, expecting to be greatly rewarded in return. He also stated that once the Emperor acknowledged Xiao Han's loyal service to the Qing Empire, he and his Brotherhood would be pardoned for their crimes.[1]
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han used a rope dart and promptly snatched away the log in Sun's hand. He then angrily reprimanded his uncle for surrending himself to the Manchu regime, stating he was a disgrace to the Great Master Xiao Yun and his homeland, and that he had trampled on the Creed that had been passed down in their family for generations. As his fellow Assassins drew arms, Xiao Han drew his Hidden Blade and announced he would kill Sun in the name of the Assassins.[1]
