Aliases: Jennifer Ward (secret)
Home: Vibora Bay, United States
Fighting Style: Taekwondo; street brawling
Powers: None
Alignment: Lawful Good
Bio: Jennifer Ward is the 10th to take the costumed identity of Black Mask after her ancestor, John Michael Ward, who fought in the War of Independence. For over two centuries, Black Masks cultivated the mystique that it might be the same immortal hero seen in action across the United States through various periods of time. Jennifer was the first woman to take up her family's tradition. Jennifer moved to Vibora Bay, Florida in order to distinguish herself in a new city.

Black Mask came upon the body of a counterfeiter who was brutally maimed, poisoned, and disposed of in the bay. The special poison used alerted Black Mask that a dangerous terrorist known as Scorpia, a member of EuroStar, had entered the United States through Vibora Bay's port, and obtained a fake ID. Black Mask was able to track Scorpia to Millennium City. There, Black Mask and her ally White Star learned of the tournament, and Black Mask was invited to join.

Aliases: Chad Riley (Known)
Home: Sydney, Australia
Fighting Style: Street brawling
Powers: Enhanced strength, durability, and regeneration
Alignment: Lawful Good
Bio: Australian Chad Riley was an ordinary labourer at the Sydney port, working for a shipping company. He was just a regular guy, wanting to enjoy his days off with a beer while watching a football match. One day, an overloaded rack crumbled and a poorly-stored container of unknown chemical fell on Chad. He feared he was being burned alive by acid, and his clothing felt suddenly constrictive...because he had actually grown in size and strength! Subjected to a battery of tests, nothing could be found wrong with him. He took on the costumed identity of Brigade, and just did what he could to be an upstanding citizen with his newfound powers.

The Order of Mastafal's Sydney chapter extended an invitation for Chad to join the tournament being held this year in Millennium City, promising him a chance to earn the respect of some of the world's greatest fighters.

Aliases: Chang Kuan-Fu
Home: South China Sea
Fighting Style: Kung Fu
Powers: Death touch(?)
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Bio: Chen Shih has many warrants out for his arrest. He is a notorious pirate, extorter, kidnapper, racketeer, and violent enforcer infamously known and feared on the South China Sea. He has fought, and won, numerous turf wars, and he routinely challenges rival leaders to single combat to prove his skill in battle. A practitioner of a rare style of Kung Fu, Chen Shih is rumored to have expertise in Dim Mak, or death touch; however, he has never displayed it publicly, and it may simply be rumors spread by his criminal organization to intimidate their enemies.

Chen Shih has attended the tournament before, and has there, before a group forbidden by oath to speak of the tournament, displayed that he does indeed know a form of death touch. He has never been a champion though, and fortune has seen him spared by more good-natured opponents who have chosen the high road, despite Chen's lack of mercy to others.

Aliases: Miguel Pedro Rodriguez (secret)
Home: Tijuana, Mexico
Fighting Style: Popular western wrestling; street brawling
Powers: None
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Bio: El Calor is a popular Luchador wrester from northern Mexico, known for his brute strength and unbreakable holds. According to the rules of Luchador wrestling, he must not reveal his true face to the public - to be unmasked by a competitor would be a grave dishonor. El Calor has exceeded his competitors in skill, and was approached by the Order of Mastafal with the opportunity to test himself against other varieties of warriors.

Aliases: Chow Deng (known)
Home: Los Angeles, California
Fighting Style: Popular western wrestling; street brawling
Powers: None
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Bio: Chow Deng & his sister Lin were an orphans raised in a monastery. The monks were training Chow Deng in Kung Fu for a legendary Tournament of the Dragon. Deng was gifted, but impatient. After years of training, and besting all of his peers, Deng was told that he still had years of training ahead of him before he would be ready for the tournament. Deng defiantly took his sister and fled to the United States. Deng grew to despise American sloth and foolishness, while his sister's embracing their new home caused a rift between them. Prideful and arrogant, his first defeat was at the hands of an American hero, heating Deng's simmering rage for Westerners. In time Chow Deng found that he could sell his abilities as a mercenary and make considerable sums of money, while also finding an outlet for his pent up hostility.

Green Dragon, as Chow Deng now calls himself, has been aware of the Tournament of Mastafal for years, and has attended before. He has fought his way to the final round, but has yet to achieve victory.
