Yao Lian was an orphan from early childhood. His parents were killed by bandits.
He was picked up by a man of unusual origins, a phoenix who had taken on human form. This man's name was Yu Lei. He became Yao Lian's Shifu, guardian, and the only person Yao Lian wishes to know.
He was taught literacy, fencing, and a little etiquette, but still behaves like an ordinary village boy.
