Jiangshi has a frightening reputation even by the Syndicate standards. Like the walking dead from Chinese folklore, whose name he bears, this killer cyborg knows no pity, no mercy, no compassion, and can only bring death and destruction. Everything human was cut out of him a long time ago and replaced with the most advanced electronics available to the Syndicate. His dead eyes look impassively at the world, seeing only the order shining right in front of his face. The order he is incapable of resisting, being nothing more than an instrument. The executioner’s axe, designed for the most dangerous enemies of the Syndicate. Rough, irresistible power and unlimited persistence of the living dead are his calling cards.
Jiangshi will complete the task and return with a victory. Unlike those who dare stand in his way.
