Fu Huo is an alchemist whose skill in manipulating fire led her to being hired as a Zhanhu.
Overview[]
Fu Huo breathes fire.
All her life, she drew strength from the volatile energy of the flame. She learned to manipulate gunpowder and fire, to control it, to make it dance for her alone. Her prowess frightened many. They called it sorcery. She became a freak, a dark conjurer with a price on her head. She learned to defend herself against these fools of the world. She grew into a proficient warrior, a master of the chang dao, a virtuoso of fire.
Hearing of this dark warrior, Empress Dou of the Wu Lin provinces sent her Royal Guard to bring the woman before her. Instead the charred, severed heads of her guards were sent back to the palace.
Shocked and intrigued, the Empress ventured alone to find this strange warrior. Word spread that the Empress was traveling unattended. In a quiet village garden, Fu Huo warned the Empress how foolish she was to come alone. Then…Fu Huo sensed something…
She drew her sword as rogue bandits charged the Empress. Fu Huo unleashed a fiery torrent that consumed the bandits. It is said their screams can still be heard in the trees of the garden.
The Empress was impressed with the young warrior’s bravery and devotion. For Fu Huo, the moment was a revelation. She had turned all her skills and energy to defending another and she had found a new inner strength and wanted to take the immediate action. The Empress offered her the honor to serve as her personal agent and Fu Huo accepted at once. She would become her Zhanhu.
Today, Fu Huo fights in service to Empress Dou. She ventures out to deliver the might of the Wu Lin, always in service to her Empress as well as protecting her significant other.
Horkos[]
Fu Huo would later become one of the leaders of the Knight and Wu Lin Horkos, held jointly along with the Black Prior Erzebet. It is unknown if she joined their cause of her own will or through the rumored Draconite's mind control ability.
She showed up as the main boss during the first phase of the third Tales of Rebellion, defending the Armory at the Forge. She is defeated at the end of the event, although it is unknown if she is permanently dead as Draconite has proven to be a means to revive someone. Later on it was revealed she survived and was fought once more during Death by Metal.
Trivia[]
- The weekly quest "Messengers of Doom" showcases Fu Huo's death, where she is killed by the player amid the ruins of Qiang Pass.
- Due to having a good friendship with Sun Da and the fact he was blackmailed into joining The Order of Horkos, many fans assume that Fu Huo may have been mind controlled via Draconite. This could be the reason why she is fought during the first phase of Tales of Rebellion part 3 as she most likely refused to work for them.
- It is revealed that Fu Huo goes by the alias of "The Violet Flame."
- Fu Huo is known as a "Messenger of Doom." The other three are the Black Prior Erzebet, the Hitokiri Yato, and the Jormungandr Gretar.
- Fu Huo's final words are "Doomsday will come... choose your side wisely."
