Fu Xia

Fu Xia was one of the scholar-wizards that pre-dated the formation of the Wu Lung. He united the different factions of scholar-wizards into the Wu Lung, which were then each backing a different ruler and had them support Qin Shi Huang in uniting China. When Qin Shi Huang attempted to obtain an elixir of immortality, Fu Xia arrived at his court and lied to him saying that immortality while living was not achievable (even though mages were perfectly capable of brewing immortality elixirs at that time) but he could have immortality while ruling in the Shadowlands as a Wraith.

Fu Xia devised the ritual that granted 24,000 of Qin Shi Huang's best soldiers into the Immortal Guard by linking them to the Terracotta Army, as well as performed rituals to allow Qin Shi Huang to rise as a Wraith without a caul. He also gave Qin Shi Huang much information about the Shadowlands, Spectres, Malfeans and other aspects of the afterlife. He also gave Qin Shi Huang the Ju-I, a powerful artifact that was able to injure Lung Wang, a Malfean which had the form of a great white dragon. Fu Xia effectively created the Jade Kingdom of the Dead that came to rule the Asian underworld of the dead.

Fu Xia departed Qin Shi Huang's court the night after performing the final funerary rites, after which the Qin Empire tore itself apart into civil wars and uprisings. Presumably, the Wu Lung ceased to provide any major support to the Qin Empire after Qin Shi Huang's death.

As the Dragon Emperor, the head of the Wu Lung, Fu Xia established the paradigm for China, the Magical Bureaucracy in which the Wu Lung worked their magic by petitioning the many gods and spirits of China through complex rituals. Fu Xia was also reputed to be the most powerful Dragon Emperor in the history of the Wu Lung and presumably ascended at some point.
