I would want to play a martial artist warrior of Ki that prones non-violence (But will defend himself as needed) and would be a more "Sane" adviser. Why he was taken in? Well, he is one of the very few people who manipulate Ki in a way most cannot understand and it was the price for his people so that they were not slaughtered by the King. My character would have willingly surrendered his freedom if it meant that he would let his people live under his rule.

Sounds like a good premise?
