Overview
Mastery of the bow and of the sword both belong to the One-Eyed Archer, who rules the island lying east of Meigu Lake.
The lake is split between three Blackwater Crew leaders, one per corner. The waterways are You Loong's, the songhouse is Yan Qiansui's, and the eastern island is the archer's.
A number of scarlet Crimson Eyes have grown between him and his bow, so he has no use for a drawn string. One thought is enough to loose blood-red beams of death across the air. His dropped weapon is the One-Eyed Bow.

Background
The Return of a Featherbow Master
Once a master of the Featherbow Sect, he travelled widely hunting Maskwalkers. Returning home, he discovered that his companions had been disfigured by Perfect Transcension and meant to impose the art on him. Fighting free, he went to look for Huangxing.
The Thing That Followed
Transcension was behind him, but something from deep in the Discordance had dug into his flesh and bone and stayed. His final breath is held back for a person he can trust, who can also end him.
