Notia T'ong

Notia T'ong was an elderly hare hengeyokai wu jen living in a temple in the forested Valley of Lo Chi in the 14 century DR, acting as the guardian of a hare hengeyokai tribe.

Personality
He was not the type to be outright hostile to strangers. However, T'ong would attack anyone that entered his temple with the intent to disturb or destroy.

Abilities
T'ong was capable of casting the followers spells as a wu jen:
 * cloud ladder, conjure elemental, dancing blade, haste, hold person, hypnotic pattern, hypnotism, know history, magic missile, polymorph other, smoke shape, steam breath, stinking cloud, and wall of fog.

Possessions
T'ong wore a set of leather armor and wielded a katana.

History
T'ong labored for many years protecting both his tribe and temple from the ravages of the shukenja Ko Hung Cho and his monks from Lo Chi monastery. The constant vigilance and mental concentration this required of him taxed T'ong's body over time, making it age prematurely. At some point, he sent his son Phagspa to go learn the ways of that monastery, as he knew almost nothing about them himself.

Later, a group of adventurers from Shou Lung came to his temple in search of the Flowers of Flame, to which he smiled and nodded as if expecting their arrival. He asked them of their place of origins, details on their journey, and what was the purpose of it. All the while, ten of T'ong's tribesmen stood in the forest awaiting any sign that they should intervene and he checked what they said against his know history spell. When asked of the Flowers of Flame, T'ong told the adventurers that he knew only rumors.
