Public Biographical History:Chu-Li Xao was born into the lower tier of the Jing Ko caste (the lowest caste) in Mei Fheng city on Tei-Su (Lirsautton V). His birth would normally have had him laboring away for little gain and no recognition in order to bring prosperity and recognition to his Saan Go administrators and subsequently the Sang Do lord over Mei Fheng's third district.
His early childhood was marked by his family's financial struggles and a barely passable education. The most positive note of this period of Xao's childhood was his parents' unfailing faithfulness to one another and to him, though it would not be until later that he would show them his appreciation. When Xao was just entering his teenage years, he became involved in one of the many Jing Ko street gangs that plagued the grassland cities on Tei-Su, while violence was generally avoided, it was not rare.
Xao ended his education early in order to become involved in the
Heishi gang, becoming an enforcer for collecting protection racket money and stealing food and other goods for his family. (Though, his parents were under the impression he was maintaining full time employ from a Saan Go patron). This deception lasted for nearly three years until Xao was fifteen.
It was at this point that Xao sustained grievous injuries when an attempted collection went awry through an ambush by an opposing gang. He was arrested on the scene by the local authorities and placed under medical care, which resulted in his parents being informed of the situation and eventually ascertaining the truth of his activities. The medical expenses for his injuries were too great for his parents to afford and the decision was made to pull him from medical support, which would have ended his life.
Were it not for the intervention of the district Sang Do lord, To-Shi Hueng. Desperate to save the life of their son, Xao's parents petitioned Hueng to consider their pleas and seek financial aid. The activities of their son (though criminal) intrigued Hueng, for the motivation behind them was provision for his family. In an unusual (but not unprecedented) move, Hueng offered to pay the medical expenses and draft Xao into his service. Xao's parents agreed without hesitation. (Becoming an employee to a Sang Do lord was considered a great honor, even under these circumstances.)
When Xao was discharged from the hospital, he was escorted to the estates of To-Shi Hueng and brought before the lord himself. He was to become an estate guard and use his understanding of the street gangs to help Hueng seek them out and disband them, in return his family would be provided for. Xao agreed and took to his new position with the same fervor and discipline he had demonstrated in his life as a member of the street gangs.
It didn't take long for Xao to distinguish himself among the lord's servants, and Hueng began to take a special interest in him. Hueng changed Xao's position to a retainer after only a short period of service and enlisted him in the education fit for a Sang Do. It was at this time that Hueng also began to teach Xao a form of personal combat that was passed down through his family;
Sun Chie ((modern day Wing Chun)).
Xao underwent a dramatic change to personality and mind set during this time, becoming far more disciplined and respectful, slower to anger and refined. When Xao was twenty-four, his patron enlisted him in capsuleer training and charged him with continuing to serve the ideals and principles he had been taught. Xao graduated capsuleer training later that year and took to the stars, starting a new chapter in his life.
