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 initially hoped to capture him and trade him for their master, who was captured in Of Cabbages and Coins. Now it's an eternal grudge match!
Cai-Wen is now the Ringmaster of the Silken Wings Circus, following the promotion of Ringmaster Te to noble rank.
Notes
Cai-Wen is of course a master of gambling games.
He has given pages of Duplicating Paper to the following (always keeping the other page for himself):
- Broken Sword
- Chashui
- 1 pair of papers not yet used
