Editing Jade-Blooded (section)

=History=
When [[Queen Neferata]] perfected the eternal life experiments of [[Nagash]] by inventing Vampirism using her Elixer, she invited her most trusted servants of the court to join her. [[Harakhte]] was one of those servants.

While Neferata's cousin [[Ushoran]] was her spymaster, being a schmoozer who was popular among the nobility, it was Harakhte who enforced her will on the populace in his duties as Chief Justice and High Executioner. He created the entire justice system of Lahmia consisting of 900 Scriptures which were enforced zealously by the establishment. In extreme age as a human, to the degree that nobody actually knows his true age other than himself, he took a myriad of drugs magical and mundane to survive. This continued as a Vampire, as anything to improve his health was consumed as often as possible.

For unknown reasons before the fall of Lahmia he decided to turn twelve of his most trusted servants into Vampires and head east along the Warhammer Silk Road to [[Cathay]] AKA China. Whether this is because he knew of the advancing living Nehekharan army or not is unknown. These servants inherited his frail physical health, and likewise had to rely on constant medical treatments to maintain a semblance of health. Eventually all in the Bloodline wound up with cloudy eyes, translucent skin, and bright green blood which gives the Bloodline its name, as well as using his 900 Scriptures as the tenants of his bloodline.

Once he arrived he established a network of spies in each of the thirteen provinces of the nation, although each one of his servants betrayed him and sought power for their own instead. Harakhte managed to destroy four of the traitors before Cathay was divided into several nations. Some are ruled by his servants directly, some use political puppets, and some are ruled by unknown entities. Each one is in a constant state of scheming and planning that would make [[Tzeentch]] require a chart to keep track of, while each pursues the perfection of both traditional ritual and of adherence to the 900 Scriptures.

==Canon?==
Note that in other continuity, Neferata's Cathayan servant is an emissary from foreign lands named [[Prince Xian Ha Feng]] who she sends to Cathay to set up a network of control. Her entire cast of original Vampires other than those from the primary Bloodlines (Ushoran, [[W'soran]], [[Abhorash]], and in later continuity [[Vlad von Carstein|Vashanesh]]) changes in every description of the origins of the Vampires with some having entirely different names, or are dropped or forgotten in every work.
Xian Ha Feng may in fact be considered the canon version of Harakhte and the Jade-Blooded could potentially be canon due to Xian Ha Feng's adventures and influences other than giving Neferata control of the east in the modern day was left undescribed.

Andy Hall (lead writer of [[Total War: WARHAMMER]]) has affirmed that Jade-Blooded Vampires exist in Cathay in this interview [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr-waUnCZ7g].

A faction of Cathayan vampires called The Jiangshi Rebels appeared in Total War Warhammer 3.
