[b][u]Name/Nickname:[/u][/b] Yuo "The Wine Viper" Zhang. Jokingly calls himself: "The Alcoholic Eagle" 
[u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 30 
[b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male 

[i][b]Political Affiliation:[/b][/i] Neutral  
[u][b]Fighting Style:[/b][/u] The martial art itself has no official title. Yuo is often heard calling it after his own personal nickname: The Wine Viper style. It is an unpredictable, free-flowing fighting art that can be paradoxically elegant and outright obnoxious; meant to distract, feint, and counter from odd angles while maintaining defensive elusiveness. Yuo is not proficient with combat weapons, but he is a master at disarming them from assailants. The Wine Viper is heavily scrutinized in the Martial Arts community, seen more as a performing arts joke than an actual fighting style. 
[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Yuo Zhang is a self-proclaimed poet, jolly and carefree as the wind. Responsibilities are put on the back burner as the self-proclaimed 'young master' is a man guided by his emotions. While he doesn't exemplify the mannerisms of a nobleman, he exudes a peculiar charm that draws people in.

[b][u]History:[/u][/b] Yuo Zhang is famously known as the black sheep of his family. His father is Grandmaster Di Zhang, one of the most respected martial artists in Daokai. Him and three other masters are overseers of the Iron School teachings. His brother, Hua Zhang, is equally (if not more) respected in Daokai for personally rescuing the Empress from a Thieves Guild. He has recently achieved Sword Saint status, the youngest martial artist to do so in Daokai. His sister, Xia, is a prominent official of the Imperial court, the first woman to do so in the Sky dynasty. She is loved for her calligraphy and storytelling with the Guzheng. Then there's his late mother, Lady Shumei, whose legendary singing voice commanded the entire City of Virtue to contemplative silence. 

As for Yuo's accomplishments? He once single handedly drank a winery dry, submitted a wild boar in a mud wrestling competition, and survived a 300 foot drop off of a sea cliff, all in the same night. The exact order of those events are unknown. Suffice to say that such feats are omitted from the family scrolls. It makes one wonder why the Empire chose Yuo as one of the heroes tasked to finding The Pale Hunter. His brother Hua was originally the court's favorite pick, but Daokai's hero declined for reasons unknown. Some say the good brother wanted to give Yuo a chance to bring honor to their family name. Others say his sister Xia swayed the courts in favor of Hua's safety. He had a family after all. Nominating Yuo in his place offered the chance to rid the Zhang family from his shameful insolence once and for all. 

Whatever the case was, in the end, the Emperor and Prime Minister Guan Zen were left with Yuo as the only alternative candidate from the Zhang family. While Yuo wasn't as respected and loved like his siblings were, the legend of his tomfoolery is well-received by regular folk - especially children. Their intention for him was to be more like a clown of the group, showcasing a lighter mood to an otherwise daunting task.
