<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Region: China, Song Empire

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Alignment: Lawful ・ Good

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Gender: Male

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Because of his disgust for the skill, he intentionally seal his Presence Concealment.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Bond 2

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Song Jiang was a famous bandit leader, active during the later years of the Song Empire against whom he rebels with 36 other fugitives under his command. His story was novelized and emphasized in the "Water Magin" novel, adding mystical elements and 72 outlaws to the band.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Hailing from the marshes of Liangshan, the band attacked imperial convoys, commandaries and even stole vessels on the coast once. They were so effective that the Song dynasty couldn't disregard their actions. An exceptional tactician, his actions could never be stopped and the only reason his band was dismantled, is because he surrendered (historically, Prefect Zhang Shuye cornered and captured him and his men instead). After this contradictory event, the Emperor grant him and his men amnesty, at the condition they would counter the rebellion of Fang La. This battle, while successful, was a massacre and most of Song Jiang's men perished.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Despite this, Song Jiang was titled governor for his good deeds. Corrupt officials didn't deem that a legitimate decision and send a pot of poisoned wine to Song Jiang in the emperor's name. He died soon after drinking it, knowing in his heart it couldn't have been the Emperor's decision.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Bond 3

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Song Jiang is the archetype of a hao han, a "good fellow" in Chinese beliefs.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Born in a wealthy family, a string of unfortunate events forced him to become a fugitive to continue his actions. He was branded (face-tattoo) a criminal and exiled, but stay loyal to the Song dynasty until his death : he never ordered attacks against imperials if they weren't corrupted people, ge constantly refrained his companions from taking wrong decisions, and his greatest desire was to obtain amnesty from the Emperor for him and all of his men.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Innate Benevolance: The concept of Ren (benevolance) of Confucianism transfigured in a skill. By merely helping people, he will temporarily increase his parameters by one rank. At rank A, the concept goes beyond benevolance and become a responbility (also pronounced Ren in Chinese, with a different inflection), meaning he can't ignore anyone in the need.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Bond 4

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> In "Water Margin", Song Jiang and the other bandits were reincarnation of evil spirits trapped under a rock by a Daoist sage aeons ago (probably during the Age of Gods). One day, an arrogant court official ordered the rock to be moved. As a result, the spirits were free and started a new life as humans. However, the Gods had plans for them and Jiang Song, protected by the blessing of Heanven Star of Leadership, was to guide his 108 men on the path to "deliver Justice on Heaven's behalf".

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Delivering Justice on Heaven's Behalf: Pledge of the 108 Stars from Liangshan Marsh 

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Song Jiang's Noble Phantasm. As a Servant and the leader of 108 ancient spirits, he can freely summon them as compressed mana "stars" of various sizes, but never exceeding the size of a human head. Each star has a personnality and parameters, indicating their power as projectiles. For example, Li Kui the Black Whirlwind has high ATK and END, meaning he is big, can pierce through high defenses and even projectiles bigger than him ; Lu Jingy the Green Qilin has high ATK and AGI, meaning he is a fast and precise attack who homes for weakspots.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Song Jiang can use them individually, or all at once in a fearsome, lightspeed raid. When doing so, he turns himself into a human size mana star with the power to strenghten all 108 stars' effectiveness.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">Bond 5

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> "My life was so terrible, I was hoping for a better treatment in death... I'm supposed to be a guardian, not a killer"

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> ---This is what Song Jiang is always saying when asked about his Class. As an Heroic Spirit and herald of Justice, he would have prefered to be summoned as a Saber. Unfortunately, he comitted (mostly unintentional) murders in his life and is remembered as a shady bandit before anything else.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> To try and ignore his fate, he sealed away his Presence Concealment skill, ironically chose the zhanmadao (a horse-slaying sword from the Song dynasty) as his weapon of choice and vowed to always act as a valiant hero and tactician for his Master.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;"> At this point, his wish for the Holy Grail should be really obvious...
