Lo-Phang, the Little Emporer, Outcast/Arcanist:
An immigrant from the Three Kingdoms, Lo-Phang came to Malifaux initially with the rail crews. Over time, he built an empire of opium dens, massage parlours, and prostitution rings in the city. Smuggling opium in from Earthside and smuggling out Soulstone.
Lo-Phang was a practitioner of traditional asian medicine back in the Three Kingdoms, when he went through the breach, his magic potential opened up. Now, he enhances his opium with alchemy and ground soulstone, creating Soulpiates, a very popular drug with the magic crowd.
He commands an assortment of unemployed samurai, ninjas, martial arts masters, railroad workers, prostitutes, geisha's and
mages, and does not accept failure from any of them.
The Guild has tried to catch Lo Phang and put a stop to his criminal enterprises, but he always slips past them.
kind of trying for a Lo-Pan/Triads/opium smuggler theme master. I don't know if he'd be arcanist or outcast though.
