Ge Nie

Ge Nie (Chinese: 盖聂 is one of the main protagonists in the Chinese television series, Qin's Moon. His age is approximately 30, and his clothes consist of white and gray robes.

Background

Before Qin's Moon began, he was an assassin for Qin in his early years. At the request of his friend, he left the Empire to take care of his friend's son, Tian Ming. A prodigy of swordsmen, Ge Nie studied in the school Gui Gu alongside Wei Zhuang (TV Series Character), his rival.

Plot

His first appearance is in the pilot episode. He fights and kills off 300 Qin Troops, dispatched to eliminate him and Tian Ming. He is injured in the process and remains under the care of Tian Ming for the rest of the show.

He later wakes up in the midst of a battle between Tian Ming, Wu Shuang (an enemy assassin), and the Xiang royal tribe of Chu. Just as Tian Ming And Shao Yu are about to be killed, he dispatches Wu Shuang by throwing his sword, Yan Hong, at him. The Royal Tribe then aids him and takes him along with them in a carriage. Just as night is about to fall, wolves suddenly appear and start chasing the mini-band. Ge Nie then informs the others that, Grey Wolf, an assassin, is pursuing them.

After a brief battle with Grey Wolf, Ge Nie's injuries reopen and he falls unconscious again. A Mohist girl named Yue Er takes him and the group to a secluded villa where his injuries are treated by Duanmu Rong.

After finally recovering from his injuries, he talked to Master Ban regarding the reason why he left the Qin Empire. It becomes known that Tianming was injured by a curse of which only a Daoist master knew the cure. Tianming's father entrusted to Ge Nie, the task of protecting his son. After discovering that they were being pursued, he quickly left with Jin Tianming, Duanmu Rong and Yue Er, only to be attacked at a cliff and have their carriage topple over into the chasm.

In the cartoon series Qin's Moon, Ge Nie is able to single-handedly defeat 300 of the Elite Troops of Qin, and returning with only a few injuries. His swordsmanship is impressive, thus earning him the title of 'Sword Saint'. He rarely smiles, or shows emotion, but is very protective of Tian Ming, who in turn adores Ge Nie very much and regards him as a role model. He is famed among swordsmen for his "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" ( 百步飞剑,pinyin: bǎi bù fēi jiàn ) technique, which is also the title for the 1st season of the series.
