Fan Erlang is the Unsleeping Silver Fang of Báiyún, The Unsleeping Serpant that watches over the Ivory Veil. The Title of Silver Fang was never meant to be his, a burden passed down to him when the man who was chosen fled for the light of Halcyon City.
At 12 he was sent away from the Ivory Snake Monastery in the Lan-Feng Mountains, sent away for his own protection and to find the man who had shirked his duty. For 2 years he travelled across the world, making his way to Halcyon City to find Shen Li. Shen, the man who was supposed to be Silver Fang. The Restless weapon of the Unsleeping Serpent.
At the age of 14, he found him. Shen Li. Cloud Runner. and he was nothing like he had expected... Hedonistic, Egotistical, Frivolous and a Showboat. Erlang could not believe this was meant to be the Silver Fang before him. He watched him for days until he could not take it any longer.
Erlang confronted Cloud Runner, for what he did not know, but he had a mission to bring this man back to the monastery to fulfil his duty.
Instead, Shen Li offered something different... He would train Erlang himself, and show him how to be a hero. With nowhere else to go, Erlang accepted, he would not return to the monastery a failure without this man.
Now, at the age of 16, Fan Erlang has been at Halcyon City for 2 years as Cloud Runner's sidekick, Silver Fang.
