Biography
Sophia Anna Isabel DeLeon has served many masters
and learned many things. From “Slim” Walker, her
first master, she learned her own strength. When
he shut down his dojo, she learned to use that
strength for herself. Her second master, Graham
Pike, taught her how to understand herself and
control her foes as his Operative. When he
sacrificed her to pay off a debt, she learned
to trust no one. Zhu Long, the mystic that
ordered her death, brought her back from
beyond the grave and became her new
master, showing her there was still much
to learn. Bound by Zhu Long’s magic,
she carried out his orders as assassin,
courier, and emissary. The Dragon
Master taught her lessons in poison,
magic, and furthered her skills in the
martial arts. Here, she learned that
she could never defeat an opponent
whose capabilities she could not
discover and whose motives she
could not understand. Though she seeks
to escape Zhu Long’s control, she has
become his greatest weapon. As the Dragon’s
Claw, she has a measure of freedom, though
she is ever aware of the leash.
Capabilities and Motivations
Dragonclaw is among the most capable
combatants in the world. The hero Mantra,
formerly known as Mr. Fixer, is perhaps the only
living martial artist who could stand against her
in hand-to-hand combat. Her fighting style flows
effortlessly between grace and brutality. Even
without her sword and magic, Dragonclaw can
vanquish a room of armed professional soldiers
that were forewarned of her arrival. While she has
specific objectives as Zhu Long’s agent, like stealing
rare relics or sending a lesson to an enemy, the larger
plan she is working toward is often inscrutable. She
is ever testing the bounds of the Dragon’s control,
though she knows that the dragon is always
watching her. With no way to become the master
of her own fate, her loyalty to Zhu Long is absolute.
Upgrades
In a ritual of her own devising, Dragonclaw created the
Jade Talon, a stone blade that serves both as a weapon
and magical focus. Not only can it cut through flesh,
stone, and metal with equal ease, it allows her to tread
farther down the mystical path than ever before. She
can channel this power in a variety of ways, with the
most terrifying being the power to bring the tattoos
on her body to life to fight with her.
