Bio
Cai-Wen is in his late 20s. He's often seen in the company of a pretty woman, who is often cooing over his pet ferret. He is also often seen gambling.
Cai-Wen does not maintain a little black book, but an ever-growing list of names might be contained therein if such a book did exist.
He speaks respectfully (and carefully) of a Madame Song, from The Hidden Orchid, a flower house in the Harbor of Fortunate Arrival.
Cai-Wen is pursued by ninja from the House of the Night Blade, in the Port of Auspicious Voyage. They hope to capture him and trade him for their master, who was captured in Of Cabbages and Coins.
Cai-Wen is 5/12 owner of the Cup Of Five Virtues.
Notes
If you're confused about what the heck is going on, Cai Wen can lay it all out for you. (Now kind of old)
Here is an archive of puttering and other notes.
Cai-Wen is of course a master of gambling games.
Here are some equipment prices.

Stuff
- A parrot-feather amulet which squawks (once per run) when the holder is attacked. [Currently on loan to Broken Sword]

- A box of fireworks
- More random stuff in my folder...
- 5/12 ownership in the Cup Of Five Virtues
Training
From Sakushi
I require that you thwart Kali, her ends and her actions, her plans and her people, until she and hers go howling back to their own den and trouble this land no longer.
From Master Tanuma (Completed)
For your next homework, you should approach the next three instances in which you are faced with possible violent and/or hostile foes, and consider her questions mindfully - as you approach the encounter, and afterwards.
Then, after those three times, return and tell her about it.
The questions:
- What was the overall tactical plan?
- Who made the decision about that?
- What other options were possible?
- What other options were considered, and how?
- In retrospect, how do you think the other options would have gone?
