Bái Lián

Bái Lián (白蓮 Byakuren, "White Lotus") is a minor character in Thunderbolt Fantasy. The originator of the magic swords that would one day be known as the Shén Huì Mó Xiè, he is a man from a foreign realm who found himself in the world of Thunderbolt Fantasy during the War of the Fading Dusk. He asserts that he is mortal, despite being remembered as a god.

Behind the Scenes
Bái Lián is a reference to the long-standing Pili character Su Huan-Jen (素還真, So Kan-Shin) whose title is Qīng Xiāng Bái Lián (清香白蓮, "Lightly Fragrant White Lotus"). Whether or not he is the same Su Huan-Jen from Pili or merely this universe's version of Su Huan-Jen is unclear. In Thunderbolt Fantasy, he is voiced by Takehito Koyasu who voiced Su Huan-Jen in the Japanese dub of Shèng Shí Chuán Shuō (聖石傳說, "Legend of the Sacred Stone").
