Chi, the Exiled Master, was once a beloved brother to Warchief. Chi's embrace of meditation and non-violence caused him to be cast out from the Red Sand tribe, and in exile his meditative abilities became so advanced he no longer needed to use his body, for his spirit could manipulate the world around him. He was locked in a deep meditative state when Adrenaline and Apex's army massacred the entire Red Sand tribe and possessed Warchief, and it was in the spirit realm -- once scorned by Warchief -- where Chi battled the corruption and kept it from completely claiming his brother.
As Warchief's energy returned to normal, then beyond, Chi realized his brother was preparing himself for something epic: Battle. War.
And his own death, if that's what it took to vanquish the enemy who slaughtered the Red Sand tribe.
Chi expected to be conflicted -- should he abandon his beliefs completely, join the violence and chaos of the human world to save his brother?
But he felt no discord.
He was completely at peace with it.
For now he knew, energy was energy. It could be used to soothe, heal, and create, or to kill and destroy.
If his brother's enemies chose to use their energy to harm others, Chi would simply turn it back on them.
It would be their efforts that brought their demise, not his.
Now, still physically weak and seeking to enlighten others and soothe their rage with meditation, he and his spirit animal Soto join Warchief and the Legion in a last effort to bring peace to Newerth.
A master of manipulating life forces, Qi can nuke down enemies by turning their own power against them.
