During the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of China harbored one weapon greater
than all others: the Imperial Guards, an elite force of assassins recruited
from street orphans. Trained in clandestine combat from childhood, the
Imperial Guards were masters of the 14 Blades (eight for torture, five
for killing and the last for suicide when a mission failed). Above the
law, the Guard devoted their lives and lethal prowess to the service of
the Emperor.
