Student Wen was a member of the Two Rivers School. Wen is from the Imperial City, which he remembers as a busy place filled with the best scholars and fighters in the world. He attended the Black Leopard School, where he studied under First Brother Kai, but was sent away from the Imperial City by his mother, who feared the growing politicisation of the time. Wen says that he felt the Imperial City was changing, and mentions that he sometimes still feels like looking over his shoulder to see if the Lotus Assassins are watching. During sparring, Wen uses the martial style Thousand Cuts.
