Great backstory for this character. Looks like someone fanfic got produced@

I got to admit, while watching Marco Polo, i was fact checking on wikipedia constantly... i couldnt help it. But one thing that threw me off was, i dont know why a taoist priest (refered to as monk a few times, which isnt accurate) had a queue.... that was a manchurian Qing Dynasty trend. I dont think it was around during the Song Dynasty. I may be getting my wuxia and JinYong novels mixed up, but i dont know if WuDang/WuTang kungfu was around during the Song Dynasty. It was probably after the Ming Dynasty that the WuDang Sect was established. Plus, i find it funny that the English dialogue sounds very much like British English, which is meant to be more sophisticated than American English. If this was in Chinese, the 12th century Chinese would probably sound more formal and sophisticated like the people in London. Nice touch!
