Born to a noble family on the planet Xhian-Tu, Ming lived in a dynasty in which honor and responsibility were everything. Her parents were influential political figures, working to bring peace between their conflict-stricken countries. Peace had its detractors, though. One night, Ming was having dinner with her parents when things quickly took a dark turn. In what seemed like a split second, she watched helplessly as Zordan, an assassin that had seemingly phased through her family's defenses, killed her parents... only to vanish into the void.

Now orphaned and consumed by vengeance, Ming devoted herself to the way of the warrior. She trained relentlessly in the use of the spear, mastering every style and technique that had been passed down through generations. Still, no matter how skilled she became, she knew that metal alone could not injure the man who took everything from her.

Using what was left of her political influence, she summoned magicians from every corner of her land, offering riches to anyone who could find a way to damage Zordan. Eventually, she learned the lost art of Phantom Imbuement; an enchantment magic that allowed her spear to phase through armor, barriers, and, most importantly, creatures that can phase in and out of dimensions. The training was now over, she could finally defeat Zordan.

One day, agents of the Athelan Battlegrounds who had been keeping an eye on her for some time, told her that Zordan had recently been added to the roster of champions. He had become a problem to contain and promised eternal protection from invaders for her kingdom if she volunteered to join as an eternal warrior of the battlegrounds. She agreed without hesitation. The wait was finally over and she would not leave without Zordan's head.
