  Name: Fai Li Hisui Pronunciation: F-eye LEE He-SUE Species: Legendary Dragon Master [Jade] Skin Tone: Pale Hair Color: White Eye Color: Jade Green Glasses: Small, silver- only when reading.. and alone. Wings: Headwings, leathery dragon. Distinguishing Marks: Tail and headwings; full red ink dragon tattoo down his right arm. Smokes: ...like a chimney. Talents: Martial arts, mouthing off, killing Bondmate: Kaolin [Demitasse Ballotin] Weapon Of Choice: Ceremonial Saber Of The Imperial Court (Huangchao Baolidao), Blade length 30 5/8 in.
The pattern-welded blade of qiangang (inserted edge-layer) construction, the dorsal side sculpted to represent an extended dragon, with serrated spine and a modelled, openwork head at the base of the backedge, and with a chiselled panel at the forte containing the Imperial five-clawed dragon chasing the sacred jewel amid foliage. The carved detail accentuated with encrusted gold leaf, except for the "scales" of the dragon's back, which are composed of hundreds of inlaid gold plugs. In replaced iron mounts of a later period and lesser workmanship, embellished with swastika fretwork in gold encrustation.
The Qianlong emperor (r. 1736-95) was among the last of China's imperial rulers to take an active interest in warfare and the hunt. A connoisseur of swords, he commissioned the Imperial workshops at Beijing to make dozens of sumptuous and unique pieces. An illustrated inventory of Court ceremonial regalia and official uniform regulations, the Huangchao liqi tushi of 1759, lists a pallasch or zhibeidao with identical dragon decor along its dorsal ridge. This saber, with its curved blade, does not appear in the inventory, so we can surmise that it was made after 1759. There are also a number of short pallasches with this dragon motif which are still preserved in various museums in the People's Republis of China. Only one other example of this form of saber blade is known. It appears to retain its original mountings, which are of elaborately pierced iron, studded with gemstones, and gilt.
The five-clawed dragon was exclusively reserved for the Emperor and his Immediate family. The swastika is one of the auspicious symbols of Buddhism.
