ChiZao
An event character villain.
- Character Biography
ChiZao was born a mortal scholar in an unknown and ancient tribe of humans that lived in the area of what is now Buya and Koguryo.
ChiZao stumbled upon a hole in the barrier between our world and the ethereal one, becoming the living embodiment of magic in the process. He learned much from the ethereal spirits (most likely the ones from the Ethereal Temple event, but perhaps also Bon-Hwa?). ChiZao returned to our world and passed on his knowledge to four students who become the Totems: Chung Ryong, Baekho, Ju Jak and Hyun Moo. Together they taught all the people of the world about magic.
However, ChiZao fell into insanity, becoming corrupted by his power. He became an undead being of evil. ChiZao raised the dead as an army of zombies and tainted creatures of the world, twisting them into darkness (The Haunted Houses originate to this period of time, as do the Crypts south of Koguryo . Man-Shik may also have been created at this time).
The Four Guardians led humans tribes in a battle against ChiZao’s forces, ultimately defeating and sealing him away inside a tomb as to prevent the loss of magic in the world, for magic begins and ends with ChiZao. This tomb is located in what is now Nagnang.
Over the years, ChiZao’s powerful magic leaked out from his tomb, infecting the creatures intended to guard him. This area become known as the Vortex. The simple mechanical lock on ChiZao’s tomb proved ineffective, so the Mythic Animals were created by the Four Guardians and charged with guarding the Trigram Keys that seal ChiZao in his tomb prison.
