A thousand years ago, Ying Xun helped the female emperor unify the realm. He died fighting on the Blood Moon Battlefield. Because he had killed too many, he was barred from reincarnation after death and cursed by the heavens, becoming history's first zombie: Ying Gou, the Zombie King. Ying was his surname, and Gou was the name of his weapon. Most people forgot his real name, remembering only the legend of Ying Gou.
After sleeping for a thousand years, he is awakened when a group of tomb raiders break into his grave. The invincible Zombie King has returned.
He feeds on the evil energy of wicked people. Wherever evil exists, he is there. And to him, a city of sin is paradise. People call him the City's Guardian.
