★ History:Lin Lie was a young man who lived in Shanghai, China and was born in the Year of the Tiger. One day his archeologist father gave Lie a mysterious sword and left with his brother, Feng, for Quianfengou, never to be seen again. One year later, received a mysterious package which contained a puzzle box. After solving the puzzle which revealed a red orb, Lie was attacked the deliveryman, who transformed into a demon but was saved when the sword moved on its own to attack the demon and by the arrival of Ji Shuangshuang. When Lie demanded answers, Shuangshuang stabbed him with the sword, which gave him a vision of the Huaxia defeating Chiyou in 3000 BC and revealed that the sword was the Sword of Fu Xi. Shuangshuang revealed that she and Lie were the descendants of Nü-wa and Fu Xi, respectively, and that the Sword and Chiyou's Orb had been removed from their resting place, allowing the seals containing Chiyou to weaken and unleashing his demon army. Believing Lie to be too incompetent to fight Chiyou, Shuangshuang took the Orb from him. Lie tried to chase after her but was attacked by Baron Mordo, who wanted the Sword for himself. Lie was rescued by Doctor Strange, who drove Mordo away. After Lie explained what the Sword was and the threat of Chiyou, Strange offered to take the Sword for safekeeping but relented when Lie told him of his family duty and that it was the only clue to finding his father. Strange reminded Lie that he needed to work with allies and used his magic to send him to Shuangshuang's location. Lie and Shuangshuang were able to defeat the remaining demons in the area and Shuangshuang was contacted by her grandmother, who ordered her to return to the Nü-wa estate in Gansu with Lie and the Sword. Unable to take a flight due to the Sword failing security checks at the airport and Shuangshuang's magic not being strong enough to transport them, Lie recruited his apartment roommate Ah Cheng to drive them as he had a driver's license. When the met Cheng in downtown Shanghai, the Sword moved on its own and pointed out Feng from a crowd. By the time Shuangshuang and Cheng caught up with Lie, Feng disappeared. Lie and his friends helped Ji Xiangyun and the Nü-wa Clan defend the Nü-wa mansion when it was attacked by Chiyou's demons. Afterwards, Xiangyun took Lie and Shuangshuang to the tomb containing Chiyou's body and used her magic to show memories of Chiyou's sealing and release, as well as the last moments of Lie's father before his disappearance. Lie was told by Xiangyun that he needed to start his training under Shuangshuang.Sometime after his training, Lie took on the name Sword Master and embarked on his quest to find his family and fight Chiyou's demons. Lie later joined the new Agents of Atlas during the War of the Realms. He stayed with the team while continuing to look for his family.While looking for his father, Lie encountered his Atlas teammate Shang-Chi in Flushing, who took Lie under his wing. Sword Master and Shang-Chi were confronted by Ares, who demanded Lin Lie's Sword of Fu Xi to confront the kidnapper of his son Ismenios, who Ares believed was another god. Coming to a truce, the three were able to track Ismenios to a temple in Madripoor, where they confronted his kidnapper, the Mother Goddess of Madripoor Davi Naka. Naka explained that she imprisoned Ismenios for his protection after the young drakon was caught stealing from Atlantis' treasure hoard during the absence of its sea serpent guardian. Despite Naka's attempt to placate the kingdom, King Namor was still outraged over the missing dragon. Afterwards, Sword Master, Shang-Chi and Ares ate at a Madripoor Lowtown dim sum shop before the trio was visited by Jimmy Woo, who sought them out to find fellow teammate Amadeus Cho to solve a mysterious hexadecimal puzzle.During Sword Master and Shang-Chi's training, they were reunited with the New Agents of Atlas when Flushing and other Asian communities in every major city were merged into the portal city of Pan by tech mogul Mike Nguyen. Despite their suspicions of Nguyen and his hired mercenary, Isaac Ikeda, the "Protector of Pan", the New Agents of Atlas agreed to protect the city after it was besieged by Wyverns and Sea Serpents. It was later revealed that Atlantis' dragon had been captured by the Big Nguyen Company, who had been harvesting her scales to power Pan's portals. Upon this discovery, an enraged Namor launched an invasion of Pan to reclaim his stolen dragon.Sword Master and the other New Agents of Atlas were summoned by Brawn during his confrontation with Namor, who warned the group to return Atlantis' dragon in a day or else face the wrath of Atlantis before retreating. Sword Master and the other New Agents were subsequently introduced to the original Agents of Atlas by Woo. When Woo sent Namora, Venus, Aero, and Wave to Atlantis for a diplomatic mission, Brawn discretely ordered Shang-Chi and Sword Master to spy on Namora, due to her familial ties with Namor. The dragon was eventually released from captivity, but upon arriving home she unexpectedly went berserk and attacked the underwater kingdom. Witnessing the destruction caused by the dragon, Shang-Chi and Sword Master relayed to Amadeus that Atlantis' scientists discovered an implant embedded in the dragon's scales to be the source of her behavior and that Namor believed Amadeus to be behind the sabotage, prompting the king to resume his attack on Pan. When Amadeus was forcibly transformed into the Hulk and put under Nguyen's control with Sirena tech in a last ditch effort to destroy Atlantis, Sword Master helped Shang-Chi remove the device from Amadeus, freeing him from Nguyen's control and reverting him back into Brawn.☆ King in BlackDuring the invasion of the symbiote god Knull on Earth, Lin Lie learned that symbiote dragons were attacking Shanghai and travelled there assuming they were minions of Chiyou. Upon learning from his Atlas teammate Aero that the symbiote dragons were servants of a different dark god, Knull, Lie was disappointed and stubbornly refused to assist in repelling the invasion, arguing that the Sword of Fu Xi had a proud will of its own and was meant to be wielded against Chiyou alone. Angered by the boy's arrogance and hubris, the Sword of Fu Xi left him for Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, who had been stranded in Shanghai after a symbiote-dragon.Attacked by a symbiote dragon, the Black Knight lapsed into a berserk state - the Sword of Fu Xi belatedly realizing he wasn't a noble warrior and attempting to return to Lie. Lin and Dane's struggle over the blade was interrupted when the symbiote-dragon latched onto them with tendrils to mentally connect them to Knull; the Sword of Fu Xi setting Dane's hand ablaze with divine flames to force him to relinquish it before returning to Lie. With Knull desiring to claim both the Ebony Blade and the Sword of Fu Xi for himself, Lie wielded the divine sword alongside Aero and the Black Knight in order to vanquish Knull's avatar.

☆ Death of Doctor Strange

When the death of Doctor Strange prompted legions of demons to invade parts of the world, Sword Master and Wave drove off an invasion in Cebu. Afterwards, Sword Master was sent to Seoul by Woo to assist his teammate White Fox with taking down a demonic Kumiho that had been terrorizing the South Korean countryside. While fighting the Kumiho, the Sword of Fu Xi was destroyed by a bite from the beast's jaws. When a shocked Lie wondered how that was possible, the demon claimed that the sword recognized how weak he was and proceeded to throw him into a ravine. Despite the best efforts of the Agents of Atlas and Tiger Division Lie was unable to be found, with only a shard of his sword recovered by White Fox.
