He was the one that helped LaCroix set up the meeting with Ming Xiao and hoped that the two sects could work together to really make something of the city. (LaCroix was in my headcanon sired by a Sabbat Ventrue so he isn't a 'pure' Ventrue and thus gets so much shit for it) Shi saw LaCroix at his best at the start of his reign of LA and his decline over the years but was in denial about it. Shi felt very grateful to LaCroix and they had bonded a little due their history of shitty controlling sires that blood bonded them and being treated badly by the powerful in their respective sects for being who they are.
However, blood bond or not, the Kuei-jin attackers still wanted him Shi dead and he was forced to flee and threw himself at the mercy of the Camarilla Prince, that Prince was LaCroix. But things went wrong, the Kuei-jin found out that Zedong was going to backstab them and launched an attack on him while he was on his way to a meeting and was killed before Shi could even to defend him, freeing him from the blood bond. However, it turned out the information gathering was for Zedong to see if he wanted to change his loyalties to the Camarilla since the Kuei-jin wouldn't allow a Kindred to gain enough power to be of true importance. Shi of course went with his sire and was soon tasked with rooting out useful information that could help put these deals in the Kuei-jin's favour. Technically there is a Camarilla, but the Prince is just a ruler of the Kindred of the city/town and they answer to the heads of the Kuei-jin courts.Īt first Zedong was the Ventrue go between for the Kuei-jin to greet Western Kindred visitors whenever they visited Mainland China, but soon he was sent off to America as an envoy for the Kuei-jin to broker deals with the Camarilla. Over the next 13 years Shi was taught by Zedong about the ways of the Kindred both eastern and western (especially the western Ventrue) the Kuei-jin and espionage skills. Zedong saw through the scheme but was amused enough to embrace Shi as a bodyguard, Shi felt so betrayed when he found out and refused to talk with his parents unless pressured to by his Grandfather/Sire and he had no choice since he was fully blood bond to him. So, in 1988, they instead set up a situation where Shi gets mortally injured to force Zedong to embrace him instead. Shi's parents knew that Zedong was a vampire, and they didn't want him to embrace Shi's eldest brother, who had shown great leadership capabilities abilities. However, unbeknownst to Shi, his Grandfather Zedong Hou, was actually a vampire of the Ventrue clan and planning to give to embrace a childe of his own from a member of his mortal family. Shi Hou was originally a soldier of the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China in the 80s.
