Character bio
Shing Xú always suspected there was more to life than just the material. If matter and energy alone weren't enough, then information implied an informant. Yet, he was reluctant to pursue what he believed was the most logical conclusion - because the government in Beijing frowned upon it.

Even so, he found that international threats could rob anyone in China from ever figuring out the truth amidst all the theories and chaos and politics. He for one, would not stand for the moral cesspool that was the Hebbleskin Gang digging its heels of influence in China! He wasn't so keen on the Icy Finger either. Therefore, Shing enrolled in the Chinese Ministry of State Security, and quickly rose to the ranks of special agent due to his charming mannerisms and ability to get along with westerners - and even imitate some of their mannerisms! He was especially fond of noir and gangster movies of classic Hollywood. Codenamed "Black Rat," Shing set to work secretly protecting the churches he was sent to harass while also eradicating China of the worst scum to not be in power.

He proved as deadly an assassin as he was efficient a smooth talker. And got a lot of women to agree to go to bed with him too! Yet, it all felt so...empty. The more he learned of love, the less he saw it in any of his cheap victories. Then, along came Mingmei Chéng - the only woman he would ever truly love! And along came Miriam Flippo - whose revelation of how entrenched the Hebbleskins truly were in China gave Black Rat a new purpose for his life. As of the Percolation Wave, a carbon copy of Black Rat now vows to protect Earth-12131-F China from the Hebbleskins - just as doggedly as his original defends the China of Earth-G7.2.1!

Personality

 * Similar to that of his Earth-G7 counterpart.

Trivia

 * Black Rat's debut was in the 2005 version of Ciem 2, though he didn't live for very long in Gerosha Prime.
 * He received the proper name of Shing Xú only for Sodality, first drafted in 2012.
 * Shing's hat is a nod to Dick Tracy.
