Mental characteristics
Personal history
Teng Silverjaw, a former monk and orphan from Wulin, was once the close friend of Shan Flamesbane. During their time here, Teng met a young noble lady and the two feel in love, eventually eloping. Tormented by visions of her dying, Teng stole sacred scrolls from the monastery to find a way to save her. He was caught in this act by Shan, who had him imprisoned. He later found his secret wife had died trying to free him from prison. Swearing revenge, Teng would find anyway to harm those that did this to him and to bring his wife back from the spirit world.
Escape and Dragon Clan
The exact events that lead to Teng's escape from prison are unknown. But his escape was during the 1030s, during the height of the 40 year war. In secret, Teng built a criminal empire of monks he called the Dragon Clan and spent 10 years training his followers. At some point, he journeyed on a trade vessel to Prima Terra and expanded his recuritment. At some point during this time, Teng found Eva and adopted her. In 1052, Teng arrived in Drekenheim and began his plot to take over the island.The Dragonclan Arc
Doomed 2 Die first learnt of Teng in Fiskvatn, when Yaram of the Skallen Syndicate told them the Dragon Clan, led by Teng, had forced the local Skallen off the island and taken their assets. Going to investigate, the party learned that Teng was planning to take over the entire island and was strategically elimianting all the bases of power on the island. During their investigation, it was revealed that Teng was possibly linked to the Ragnarok prophecy. Teng had implanted 3 Dragonclan Liutenants in Oksunstrond. One was posing as the dock master, one was running the former Skallen business in the docks, and the other was a guard within the jarl's hall who was planning to weaken the organization. Doomed 2 Die beat these lieutenants, but it was simply a distraction for Teng to launch his full invasion on 29th Applefall. During his invasion, Teng used the mercanary Red Hawk to assault the city and its defences, whilst his agents took down the guards and notable figures in the town. He sent Eva to take on Danilia Fuego, one of his liutenants to take on Orginvar, and he led a small force to the Jarl's home. He faced down with Shan, Einar, and Killyn but they were allowed to escape when Captain Greymight sacrificed himself.Next Steps
Teng is readying to expand his operation. He has begun to attack Sudureyja, and Jarl Naerfi Oath-Knee is assisting Doomed 2 Die to built allies and retake Drekenheim.Alternate Reality
In the alternate reality created by Primus where Doomed 2 Die never met, Teng and Shan never had their initial duel, meaning the two remained friends throughout their lives. Without this hatred and rivalry, Teng's lover never died and he was able to save Shan from Solviess, killing the Seldrinar enchanter before he could fully control his friend. Teng would also save Em from the housefire whilst Shan saved Eva. The dragonborn eventually retired from his duties and opened a Draconic restaurant in Iminiyas. During a visit from Shan and his family, Teng witnessed the battle between Red Hawk's flying fortress and Kliiks † and Auran on board the Endeavour. He ran to get a guard to find out what was happening before Roach appeared to speak with Shan. Teng also journeyed with Shan to Knut's Landing to meet with Erik and fight the White Will. Teng and Shan were knocked out when a building was collapsed on them - reemerging to find Erik victorious by the alterate version of Ivar dead. The three pondered if this was the way the world was meant to be, meeting with alternate universe roach. Teng's final alternate reality appearance was with Shan, Erik, Em, and Eva during their final meal before the three war veterans were to journey to fight Fenrir. Roach told Shan that the three succeeded and become heroes and inspirations for the world to come, but the multiverse would never fully recover.
