His companions names have been lost to time but his has not been. They were called upon in times when extraplanar threats were in action. They specilized in fighting off demons and devils specifically. Through this fighting and speciality Quan He studied everything he could on planes of existence and the denizens that lived in them.

Before too long he was condsidered one of the most sought after individuals for unique and useful knowledge in Zhen Gho. He didn't stop there though.

There he was able to navigate the political landscape and continue to increase his knowledge. He defintely knows that he is the smartest diety of the Zhen Gho Pantheon and is not afraid to show it. He continually is interjecting himself into conversations and situations to offer his deep reserve of knowledge to those that obviously need it. One such person who constantly gets his advice is Imari. She is so impulsive that he feels it is his responsibility to guide, direct, and advise her in how to act.
