"Think I'm too rough for you? Tough. You'll get used to it!"
"Does wiping out bandits and killing men make me a good man? Dunno. But keeping your hands and feet warm, that I figured out all on my own."
⛰️Basic File
Name: Wan Shan
Age | Height: 40 | 6'4"
Position: Former warlord's sniper, now a special-training instructor at the Tianshu Inspectorate
A wild shepherd boy from the gullies of the Northwest who could barely read a word, but he took to a gun as naturally as to a girl's hand. At ten he could put a slingshot stone through a wolf's eye. The year he turned fifteen, a troop of warlord cavalry rode through his village, and their captain tossed him half a steamed bun: "Kid, come with me. You'll eat your fill." Wan Shan stuffed the bun into his shirt and ran after the dust of their hooves without looking back, his father cursing and his mother sobbing behind him. He never went back to that village again.
He served three marshals. All of them are dead.
The first time, he took a bullet for Marshal Zhang, straight through the left shoulder, and the next day that son-of-a-bitch marshal defected to the enemy. Wan Shan pressed a hand to the wound and laughed coldly. From then on he understood that loyalty never fills ambition's belly. The second time, he lay in a snow hollow for three days and three nights to snipe a rebel general, surviving by licking the blood off his dagger. The third time... he personally blew away his old commander for trying to go over to the Japanese.
At the military academy, Wan Shan came dead last in every academic class, but his record on the firing range still hasn't been broken. He was in the same class as Jiang Yanliang, and even then he couldn't stand that pretty boy's airs.
Having turned into a hardened old soldier, Wan Shan was absorbed into the Tianshu Inspectorate to do the jobs that can't see daylight. With one rifle he has dealt with collaborators, traitors, and his own side. His right leg went lame in '38, from a bullet he took saving a rookie agent. It still aches him into a cold sweat on rainy days, but he's never told a soul
After the leg, he was transferred to train new recruits. His classes have the lowest death rate in the whole Inspectorate, but the training ground never stops ringing with howls.
He's like an old rifle, with a dud round jammed in the rusted chamber that will never fire.
