From publisher blurb: The Emperor's Guard The Imperial Bodyguard are agents of the Grand Emperor – the self-imposed monarch of Hong Kong – who have sworn and proven their loyalty, earning the gift of superhuman powers. The Grand Emperor bestows these powers upon his trusted agents by using the ancient techno-magic of the Lemurian serpent-men. Not all of these agents survive the augmentation, and sometimes are driven insane by the powers filling their bodies. These unfortunate subjects are destroyed for their own sake. Those who survive go on to serve the Emperor loyally. Encantado (PL 9) – Criminal mercenary with a flight suit Osprey (PL 10) – Stronger, faster – a cyborg made with techno-magic Whiteout (PL 10) – Cold energy manipulator in a suit of environmental armor
