Sung was born into a high-ranking noble family in Korea in 1834 his father was a respected Buwongun (Marquis) and military general. Sung joined the military in 1851 and in a short time worked in a position under his father working for Koren Joseon Army as salyeong-gwan (Commander). Sung went through some training and tests in the misty mountains in a monastery called Pyeonghwaloun San, after several months and came out of the mountains as Sentinel of the Eternal Watch with some abilities with KI some say. This improved his martial arts abilities. Sung became a Master of Hwarang-Do and an expert in Moo-Gi-Gun by the age of 20.

Sung had to leave Korea when he killed lord Wu Yeong-Cheol a high noble and Minister of his province. The Minister raped and killed his sister and killed his father and mother to cover up the crime. Sung took revenge killing the Minister and then escaped. Sung has been moving throughout China, Japan, and Korea for years. It was in his 30s that he surfaced in England in 1864. He was broken from his experiences. Sung with no choice at the time got involved with organized crime for a few years and became an alcoholic and hooked on opium. It was no time before he found himself on the streets again surviving day to day.

It was now 1869 in England there was a light rain that day and frigid. Sung could see some of the local thugs hanging around the street. In the alleyway, Sung was cold hungry, and drunk on that day. He heard a coach and horses get stopped by the Thugs. The coach was black and very nice to nice to be in this part of town. It was fast they pulled the driver off and beat him quickly. The passengers were pulled out. A man, a woman, and a child.

There was a lot of yelling as the passengers were separated by the thugs. A man name Duke Ellington offered money but the thugs wanted more like the woman and young child to have their way with them. Sung looked and at first, did not care until the child screamed. Something stirred in his memories of his sister flashed in his mind. Sung grunted as he got up off the ground rain dripping off him. His ripped clothing was covered in the dirt with long matted hair. Sung half staggered forward towards the men. No one seemed to notice him at first. One thug looked at him and scoff at Sung "Get out of here bum!" one of the thugs yelled.

Sung held out his hand as if to ask for money. The man reached to slap his hands away then suddenly Sung grabbed the man pulling him in and off balance there was a loud snap noise as Sung's foot strikes the man's knee the man screamed in pain as his leg bent the wrong way. Sung slipped behind the thug there was another loud snap and his head was almost pointing backward to his body. The limp body just dropped to the ground.

The men rushed Sung letting the others go. Sung took them down one by one getting injured several times blood started to mix with the rain as Sung bled from the cuts. Sung collapses next to the coach and the horses. Duke Ellington puts his family quickly back into the coach and the driver in the back seat. Duke Ellington knew he did not have much time to get out of there. The Duke looked at Sung he could not leave him there the man saved his family's life. his sense of honor would not let that happen. Duke Ellington picked up Sung and threw him onto the floor of the coach then raced off.

Favorite Sayings

“I can show you the path, but I cannot walk it for you.”

“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”

“The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking, or touching the enemy you will not be able actually to cut him.”

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's despair. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”
