The Lin Kuei Grandmaster is the leader of the Lin Kuei clan and the mastermind behind the Lin Kuei Cyber Initiative. Elemental Master. In order to become leader of the clan, the Lin Kuei Grandmaster has to first gain mastery over one or more elements. This elemental knowledge makes them deadly opponents in combat, as few can rival their skills with the elements they command. Dragon Medallion. Not only serving as the symbol of the clans' leadership, the Dragon Medallion is believed to enhance the abilities of those who possess it, granting them an even greater connections to the elements which they might command. |
