The man known only as "The Mandarin" was a high-ranking individual at the Fu Syndicate. Funded by a "Priestess," he experimented on Kindred to discover their weaknesses, presumably to eventually aid her in taking control of the area. He said that his task was "to find the most efficient way to kill your kind." And later, "my employer's punishment for your escape would be a thousand times more painful than anything you could devise."
He was also involved in the local Tong, using them to lure in the prince's agent, who unfortunately proved too strong for his tests, and escaped, killing him.

Background Information[]
- "Mandarin" is also a term for some specific Kuei-jin, although it's unlikely that he knew this. More likely, he was adopting the original Chinese term for a bureaucrat scholar.
