Biography

Early Life

Xieren was born in the city of Xuangong in the Xia province of the Clockwork Empire, to constable Zhang Xuequan and an unknown woman, most likely a prostitute.

He attended a 'Tuchun' military academy due to his father's personal connections and underwent a rigorous schooling and regimen due to it.

In 1893 despite only being 16 years old, Xieren fabricated documents and identification papers, including a fake signature on behalf of his father, and signed up as a volunteer in the Korrukkan army. He served on the front with Ibrahama and it was here in the winter of 1897, nearing the war's end, he lost his lower left leg from the knee downwards as a result of an amputation deemed necessary by field medics after his calf had been destroyed by a grenade.

Returning to Xuangong at the end of the war, Xieren bounced from employment to employment; normally in the city's constabulary. In Xuangong he also acquired his first prosthetic leg, a simple peg-leg made out of wood.

By 1899, Xieren had married his childhood sweetheart, Zhao Chungui, after her original arranged match perished in the Great War.
