The Tiger Immortal is said to have been assassinated before the last great Southern invasion, about a generation ago.

The Phoenix Immortal either does not exist or is very mysterious.


Mystic Mondo's Opinions on the Twelve Immortals

  1. He doesn't believe the whole "eat a peach and become immortal" thing. He's pretty sure that the peaches and the Golden Palace are tied up with immortality, but it's not nearly so simple. There's even a story of one who was climbing a sacred peach tree, fell off, and achieved immortality before he hit the ground, saving his life.
  2. There are supposed to be "Twelve Immortals", but he's not sure that's true. He hasn't heard of more than twelve, but he's also heard of people who were not immortal and then became immortal, but not because of a previous immortal dying or anything like that. Maybe twelve is the ideal state, or an upper (or lower) bound, or something, but there are may not always be exactly twelve of them.
  3. He doesn't think all immortals count as one of the "twelve immortals". He can easily envision beings who are immortal, or effectively so, with no association whatsover to the Golden Palace, or peaches, etc. Such people, like Wei Han, presumably gain their immortality from other sources entirely.
