Character Info
Name: Wen Kexing
Canon: Word of Honor
Canon Point: While digging a grave for the four sages
Age: Roughly 30

Background: Wiki page however as it doesn't currently have a history section, here are bullet points of his influence in the show to his canonpoint:
Childhood; family was cast out of the Healer's Valley, father was wounded. They were helped by Four Seasons Manor's leader (Zhou Zishu's master) however as soon as they were left behind to heal, Kexing's parents were killed by the Ghost Valley leader and followers. Kexing was then raised by the Ghost Valley leader and changed his name from Zhen Yan.

Kexing was forced to drink the Waters of Lethe, which makes people forget their greatest obsession, which in Kexing's case, was his need to get vengeance for his parents' exile and murder. Those responsible are the Ghost Valley Leader, and the Five Lakes Alliance Sect. Despite drinking the potion, he didn't completely forget his need for revenge, so would frequently fall into comas growing up and gets bad headaches when he thinks of his past and fights the potion's effects.

He eventually became strong and vicious enough to defeat and kill the Ghost Valley Leader and take over the Valley. Leading the ghosts out into the martial arts world, he gave them the task of retrieving his stolen Glazed Armor piece, which was one of five pieces to the sought after secret armory the Five Lakes Alliance protects.

Soon after leaving the Ghost Valley with his ghost 'maid' Gu Xiang (treated more like a daughter who looks after his every need as best she can and follows his orders), Kexing met Zhou Zishu, who was disguised at the time as a beggar. Through watching Zishu move, Kexing figured out he was disguised, then that he was from the Four Seasons Manor.

Plotting behind the scenes, Kexing hid who he really was from everyone, especially Zishu as long as he could, as ghosts and humans aren't supposed to have the same destiny, though he acknowledged the other man as his soulmate and that he would marry no one else.

One after another, sects belonging to the Five Lakes Alliance fall and he watches, poking here and there and getting to know Zishu and Chengling, a boy from the first sect involved in his vengeance on the martial arts world but managed to ingratiate himself with Zishu and Kexing. He takes extra pleasure in flirting with Zishu and making sure the other is well dressed, fed, has plenty of good alcohol to drink - but they still argue, and as they grow closer, Zishu's words hit harder and separate them for a little while. Only for them to wind up right back together without apologies or explanations.

Personality:
Kexing likes to say he's called 'Philosopher Wen' by those who know him, and that he's a good man despite his appearance. He's cheerfully social when not behind closed doors, happy to play or tease, and enjoys quoting famous poems or stories to add credibility or general enjoyment to his role as someone good. He loves eating and drinking and wearing beautiful clothes - and can be generous with those three things when it comes to those he likes. He likes to tease and flirt, is unashamedly gay and has been known to frequent brothels that cater to those like him. He playfully brags that he knows true beauty just by studying someone's shoulder blades, be they male or female. He tends to surround himself with beauty and cleanliness.

He's willing to spend money (his own, or Zhou Zishu when they're together) to cause chaos, especially when bored or when chaos is part of his plans for revenge. He's not afraid to use people to get what he wants or needs for this revenge, either those who work for him, or oblivious people all around him. He's even happy (especially happy) if it involves killing or murder of those he either doesn't care about, or are part of the Five Lakes Alliance (those responsible for his parents' exile and murders). However it's rare for him to get his own hands dirty, as blood disgusts him. If blood gets on his skin, he'll wash it off (or have someone else who knows him do it for him) but if it gets on his clothes, he'll cut the soiled section off or get a whole new outfit rather than bother to clean it.

He's much more likely to work in the dark to get his underlings to do the dirty work for him. Manipulations and threats and rewards are all for the taking if they do what he wants. He will take one of two visible roles, however. One, a backseat view where he only observes, claiming he just wants to watch how Heros work! Or he'll act in a way that gives him the appearance of being good and kind, even protecting people if he's been dragged into their story or he feels they are innocent. Even those he's close to tend to get used in some way.

He is jealously protective of those he considers 'his', to the point of actually being politely rude, dismissive, or out right inserts himself between them and the intruder until the intruder gives up and leaves, or he's convinced to let them stay for one reason or another. Though there are precious few he'll listen to even when presented with logic that associating with the newcomer/intruder will further his goals.

Most of Kexing's plans go just as predicted. When they miss, however, and there are unexpected casualties, he sometimes feels remorse and has been known to act in a way to seek forgiveness. Two important instances are with Chengling, a boy who's sect was destroyed due to Kexing's manipulations - he only felt bad because he grew close to the boy. And the Four Sages' deaths were unintentional, as he'd hoped to meet them and observe them for a while. As he caused their deaths, he tried to give them a grave by digging it with a broken sword with his own hands. Most frequent though is how often he helps Zhou Zishu (manipulates him into revealing information, then spends his own energy to heal him, among other instances). These mistakes slowly teach and help him to grow, however, and it's remarked that the more he's around Zhou Zishu, the more he seems like a human.

Kexing is, however, fragile, broken, and more than a little crazy at times due to his childhood and drinking a potion to be brought into the Ghost Valley that causes the drinker to forget their obsession. In his case, he was supposed to forget all the details of his parents' murder. As he's fought the potion, he gets frequent severe headaches to the point of occasionally slipping into comas. He believes he's successfully fought it so remembers all the details of their exile then murder, but will eventually find out (after his canonpoint) that he was mistaken.
