Name:Tao Fei Long
Alias:Master, Master Tao, Old Man
Class:Monk
Race: Human
Age:109
Occupation:Sensei and Healer, Current Member of the Council of Elders.
Residence:His dojo in Ionia
Alignment: Good
Abilities:
Spry Old Man:Tao has superb reaction time, speed and agility, and power of those decades younger than him. But age has taken its toll and Tao has issues sustaining going all out in combat for extended periods of time.
With Age comes Wisdom:Tao has lived a long time, and uses the knowledge gained from those years to offer guidance to those he feels that need it.
Martial Arts: Tao is learned in several styles of martial arts, and master of his own Chi Long style.This allows him to use a variety of weapons and styles to adapt to a wide amount of situations.Tao will not take a life unless absolutely necessary
Chi Mastery: Chi, the life force that flows through almost every living being. Tao has spent years perfecting his mastery of chi. This allows him to have a sort of sixth sense, he is able to sense the chi of those around him and sense the stronger emotions that they might be experiencing.
Chi Manipulation:Out of combat situations- Tao is able to manipulate the chi of others to improve natural healing and to ease pain.
In combat-After a fighting a target for a small period(About 2-3 minutes) of time Tao is able to get a feel for their chi. He is then able to strike key points in their body where their chi flows to block them from using abilities for a short amount of time(1-3 minutes). Weaker targets he can use this technique to completely immobilize them temporarily.
Tao can focus his own chi to perform extraordinary effects, for example breaking only the bottom brick out of a stack of 30, the longer he is able to focus, the greater the effect. He can also focus his chi to parts of his body to make it almost impervious to harm, though he is unable to take any actions while he does this. Extended use of focusing techniques puts a drain on his own resources and tires him at a quick rate.
(For example, 5 seconds of focus allows a strike with the same power as Vi's vault breaker.)
Strategy-Tao will strive to find a peaceful way to end conflicts, should that fail he will try to end a combat situation as quickly as possible. His knowledge of the human body allows him to disable weak opponents with ease, while he gets a feel for the more tougher opponents before he goes all out for the K.O. Should a situation of extended combat arise Tao will try to resort to using speed and agility to to tire his opponents out before making his move.

Also has a beard that hangs to the middle of his chest.
Eyes: Piercing Blue
Build: Really athletic, even for his age.

Biography: Tao was born during the time of the 4th rune war in a small fishing village to the northeast of the island.Their little village had nothing to do with the war, for Ionian's preferred to focus on enlightenment and self betterment. As a boy Tao was always captivated by the traveling monks and their unique skills they brought with them. When Tao came of age he left the village and traveled Ionia visiting the various temples and monasteries, staying with them for years at a time learning all he could from them. Though no matter the techniques he mastered, or the knowledge he learned it was never enough for him, so he continued to travel and learn. It was during this time that Tao discovered how one could harness chi, and saw it as his path to enlightenment, for if anyone were to master anything, they would have to master themselves first. He returned to temples he once visited and restudied all their available knowledge of chi, taking and exiled himself on the mountains for years perfecting his own knowledge and ability to work with chi, leaving his wife and children to live at one of the temples in pursuit of his obsession, visiting his family only once a month for a full day. It was years later that Tao was able to come down from the mountain and show his colleague and the public what he learned. He was hailed as a master of his art, giving Tao the confidence to build a dojo near his birthplace. He began to take on students who wished to learn under him, including his three sons. By the time of the founding of the League of Legends, Tao had lost his wife to old age. His oldest son was lost when he left to seek his fortune as a mercenary during the last Rune Wars.His youngest son perished from illness.His middle son and his family stayed with the dojo as the families of his other two sons moved to the southern providence to rebuild their lives.It was unfortunate that they too would lose their lives when Noxus invaded Ionia. Unable to take the injustice of the Noxian assault Tao's last son and his wife left the Dojo to defend the Ionian people. Their lives were lost as well, leaving Tao to care for their daughter Talim. Unable to take the senseless violence that took his son's away anymore Tao left Talim with the senior students of his dojo and aided his homeland in her defense by aiding the wounded and teaching the new recruits.In battle he left Noxian's speechless as he showed at age meant nothing to him in the end. After the conflict in Ionia was resolved Tao returned to his dojo to resume teaching the future of Ionia, though in the back of his mind he wondered how long this peace would truly last.
How Tao met and befriended Karma- During the Ionian conflict Karma was on route to aid resistance fighters to the south. Karma and her entourage were assaulted by a Noxian ambush while they were on route. Tao was traveling to another area when he came on upon them and joined the fray. During the ambush Tao took a arrow aimed to take the life of the duchess, though he still fought on to fight off the ambush despite the near fatal wound.Tao knew that with his wound that his time was short and was prepared for the worse, though he was sad that it had to come to this for him. Near the end he was surrounded by the power of Karma's inspiration, stabilizing the wound and ultimately saving his life. After having his wound treated Tao elected to travel with Karma throughout the conflict. They ended up saving each others lives countless time and became rather close. After the resolution of the conflict and Tao returned to his dojo, Karma still visits him to talk and ask for his advice.
Elder:Tao is from the Tuo Shang Province of northeast Ionia. He was chosen for his renown wisdom gained from his long life, as well as for his mastery of chi and the martial arts.
