Background[]
Wuwei Shan (Born in Hong Kong) was a scientist and one of the original discoverers of the Paradigm. The reason why he now looks like a Jiangshi is because his former colleague Yihamah shot him in the chest, then his body was dragged into the graveyard, where he is reborn into a chinese vampire. To avenge his former scientists, he entered the Paradigm to defeat Yihamah.
