The Emissary stands at average height, but with the self-assurance of a giant. His face is calm and impassive, and bears a few light scars that are only just visible at the distance. The Emissary wears a long, loose, orange-and-red robe that lightly flits in the wind, giving the appearance of a flickering flame roiling about his body. He is clearly old, but seems powerful despite his age.
The Emissary speaks in a deep, sonorous voice that reverberates through the entirety of the Grand Pavilion. Although spoken with a quiet calm, his words hold an air of command.
"I am Sifu Xho Nuo — Emissary of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament and guardian of the legacy of Hao Jin, the once-immortal sorceress in whose name you are gathered here to battle. To honor the Grandmaster’s legacy, I stand before you to carry out her final will: the thirty-first decennial Ruby Phoenix Tournament. Without further delay, we begin our first round of the contest. May the worthiest win!"
