"The worm realizes he's bait only after the fish bites." — The Monk

The Monk (also referred to as The Old Monk, Deadpan Monk) is a magic user and thief who desired the Scroll of Hung Chao.

Personality

Before he is revealed to be the antagonist, he appears to be an archetypal eccentric sage. He always speaks in riddles and old proverbs, usually beginning with "Ancient wisdom..."

History

The Monk acted as Jackie and Jade Chan's guide to the Lotus Temple in their mission to find the Scroll of Hung Chao. The Monk neglected to warn them about the Temple's guardian, Xu Lin, and used them as a distraction so that he could get the Scroll for himself.

As Jackie entered the Temple, the Monk also snuck in and quickly found the scroll. Jackie tried to take the scroll off him, but the Monk's fighting skills combined with his magical power and Xu Lin's beast form activating gave him enough time to copy the scroll inscriptions onto his palms and fire powerful ki blasts. The Monk then attempted to destroy Jackie, Jade and Xu Lin with his new powers. However, Jackie touched the Monk's palms and the inscription ended up transferring onto Jackie's who used it to create a tornado and keep the Monk suspended in a continuous gust of wind. Xu Lin's beast form then used its braids to bind the Monk and his hands (preventing him from using his powers) and keeping him at bay until Jackie intervened by chopping off her braids. Xu Lin then exited the Temple with the Chans while the Monk noticed his hand fading as he disappears along with the Lotus Temple, making him the new guardian.

The Monk eventually somehow escaped the Lotus Temple and later encountered Jackie once again when he teamed up with 4 other enemies to get the Silver Iguana of Awramba. The Monk and the other four chased after him, only for Jackie to get rescued by Jade in a hang-glider.

Powers and Abilities

The Monk posses both impressive magical and fighting ability, seen when he easily fends off Jackie's attacks by hand and with the use of magical energy balls.

With the Scroll of Hung Chao inscribed into his palm, the Monk gained the ability to fire power Ki blasts from his palms that can cause massive destruction. He can also levitate and animate a suit of armor into his minion.
