Flying Bat

Flying Bat's History

"Flying Bat" Ke Zhen'e is the oldest of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Despite being blind, he is highly skilled in staff fighting and dart-throwing, has great hearing, fighting people at night and is the strongest of the seven. His brother, Ke Bixie was killed by the 'Twin Killers of the Dark Wind'. He was also short-tempered, especially if he thought others looked down on him due to his blindness.

He was the only one that survived the attack on Peach Blossom Island by Ouyang Feng and Yang Kang. Led to believe that Huang Yaoshi was the one responsible for the death of his Siblings, he created further confusion in the Wulin community by looking for vengeance. It is not until he was hiding in the Temple of the Iron Spear with Huang Rong that he finally finds out that Ouyang Feng & Yang Kang were the ones behind the massacre of his adopted family.

Later, he lives with the Guos on Peach Blossom Island and is respected as an elder in the family. Despite holding a grudge against Yang Guo's father for the deaths of his fellows, he treats the boy like the rest of the Guo children. Years later, he relates the story of Yang Kang to Yang Guo at the Temple of the Iron Spear. He admires Yang Guo for his chivalry, and is also grateful to Yang for saving his life from Sha Tongtian and company. He forgives Yang Guo's father and promises to help Yang reconstruct his father's tomb.
