Admiral Shen Zheng

Shen Zheng is an immortal admiral whose long service to Wuji blinded him to the suffering beneath its splendor. His search for his grandson Jiang brings him into conflict with the descendants who escaped that empire, including Ai No Miko. Recognizing what freedom meant to his family forces him to confront his failure to listen or protect them. He defects from Wuji, pledges himself to Yokai, and vows to protect Miko and the Isles. Shame remains part of that loyalty: recalling the Silver Garden’s starving servants and weaponized cruelty, he asks why he accepted it for so many centuries.
