[edit] Character Details
Mai Shen appears to the members of the Raven Dynasty as a "stranger from lands to the far east". She looks Asian and tends to dress in red and black.
Mai Shen offers her services to the Raven Dynasty and they accept her as she seems to have a great deal of knowledge (not surprising as she is one of the First and can teleport at will). Not long after she arrives she transfers some of her power to Prince Bron instead of monitoring Ethan or trying to sway him to the side of House Sinister. At roughly the same time another member of the First appears under the name Bernd Rechts and he offers his services to the Heron Dynasty.
In Scion #15, Mai Shen arranges a secret meeting with Bernd Rechts and tells him that her desire now is to rule the world through the Raven Dynasty. Then she kills Bernd Rechts in an impressive display of raw power. Using her shape-changing ability she pretends to be Bernd Rechts and leads the Heron army into an ambush. Most of the Heron army is destroyed in the resulting battle.
