Congxiong Biaoqin is the son of stateswoman who resides in the Northern Tusuzu Sector of Taiyuan. Congxiong is a minor character in Avatar: Civil Strife.
History[]
Congxiong was born in 1957 BG, to Lady Yima Biaoqin and Lord Lu Su Biaoqin, in the city of Taiyuan. Congxiong was spoiled his entire childhood and early adulthood. Which led to him behaving a specific way and even in his middle-aged life where his mother Yima excuses a lot of things that he does. Congxiong was an average student in his educational studies as he grew up into a teenager he began to slack at his studies. His father paid off his tutors so that he could continue advancing with his peers.
During his childhood he often rivaled with his younger cousin, Airen. The yearly family holidays when his family would visit Congxiong's family in Taiyuan or vice versa. He found his sensitive little cousin quite irritating, the little boy was a crybaby and often he'd also bully him. Congxiong was caught by a servant of the Shengqi family, which led to Lu Su punishing him. However the constant bullying went on for years. Yingxiong was absent for most of Airen's childhood as he was off at war fighting to keep his family and his people safe.
At age 24, Lu Su contracted pneumonia one winter outing with his wife and rapidly deteriorated over a few weeks. The healers couldn't help and in the end he succumbed to his illness. This caused Yima to take over his position as the steward of the Governor of Taiyuan. Xingren Wuqi being a very good friend of Lu Su. He did his best to assist Yima and her young adult son Congxiong. Yima ascended further in her reputation while Congxiong remained in the shadows. To cope with the death of his father he found himself addicted to alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs usually distributed at parties.
This led to his party-goer lifestyle where he spends a fortune on the highest quality carriages, exotic animals, clothing, drinks, drugs and prostitutes. Over time Congxiong gained the reputation he earned over the years. However, as his friends grew up and married their girlfriends. Congxiong remained the same he continued to party even with people half his age at the Reveler's Den. He would later come to disgrace the Biaoqin name with his horrid reputation. His mother would pay off the women he'd taken advantage of, over the years knowing well that her son was a predator. Congxiong never received repercussions for his actions. It is unknown what other things Congxiong involved himself in over the years. However, he's often seen in the public eye with a woman whether they're together is unknown to anyone but the two. They spend a ton of time together at parties and other events.
Xingren grew to dislike Congxiong because of his reputation over time, little does he know that Congxiong knows many secrets kept from the public by the governor and his mother. These secrets could lead to Congxiong gaining political power from the governor if he so wished. Even then when Xingren passes Yima is taking over as governor as Xingren is the last of his bloodline.
Family Reunion[]
Congxiong's mother Yima learned that Airen was inside the city. She sent summons for her nephew, when the news reached the Defense Sector. A carriage showed up to retrieve Airen from the barracks and delivered to the Northern Tusuzu Sector. After a few hours of travel he finally entered his aunt's estate where a sense of familiarity entered his visage. Yima immediately ordered for her servants to remove his armor and dress Airen in Congxiong's "party" robes while he enjoys his stay in her home. When Airen reached the top of the steps he came face to face with Congxiong who was looking for his robes and asked his mother. The two had a stare down that was broken up by Yima, she chewed out her son for his behavior. Airen was taken to a guest room where he was dressed, the servants notified him that dinner would soon come.
At dinner he and Yima feasted while Congxiong was absent to supper. Eventually he showed up late and joined his family for their meal. After Yima departed for the evening, Congxiong and Airen shouted at each other at the dining table. With Congxiong leaving without eating, he had better things to do at the Den. Like his social gathering which was in the Avatar's honor. Airen eventually left on his own to the same gathering to accompany his friend the Avatar.
The Reveler's Den[]
Airen eventually shows up to the Den where he runs into Avani by coincidence. And joins her inside for the gathering once inside he makes eye contact with his cousin. Seeing the rage in Congxiong's eyes when he gazes upon Airen's face. Congxiong devises a quick plan to sedate Airen with a mucuna flavored hookah. Originally Airen buys a rose-flavored hookah to start Avani on something light since it would be her first time smoking hookah.
Congxiong's right hand woman ordered for the switch, when the employees gave Airen the hookah, he took a few inhales and noticed it was not the flavor he ordered. By then it was too late, he felt the inescapable high that came with the mucuna leaves shisha. He was sedated and unable to help her if she was in danger. Giving Congxiong ample time to do what he pleased with the Avatar. When Airen was sober from the effects of the mucuna flavor. Disaster had struck the Den, however, he was still dazed from his experience he didn't remember much until the next day.
