Minions of Sung Chiang

The Minions of Sung Chiang were five mortals who were thieves, spies and assassins in life. Their crimes against the Patron of Thieves compelled him to imprison them all in his dungeon, where Sung Chiang's daughter Mai would torture them for all eternity.

Sung Chiang stripped the Minions of their names and identities, save for one written character each. Thus the Minions thereafter knew their names only as Phi, Chi, Sho, Tau and Mu. He then dispatched them to the newly opened worlds of the Web to find prophecies and predictions that corroborated or clarified Genruo's Canon of Changes prophecy.
