Ao Qin is a character exclusive to the Aeon of the Champion story series by Smurf Manian.
He is the red Dragon King of Maztica, embodying the element of fire, and ruled alongside the other dragon kings over the continent of Maztica for thousands of years. He was the most aggressive of the four kings, constantly looking to expand his sphere of influence, and making sweeiping attacks against the temples of Ao Run and Ao Shun, his rivals. This made him the enemy of the other three, who formed an alliance to block him at some point before the Earthen arrived to Middle-Earth. His corporeal form was destroyed by the Earthen Naz'gomal during the First War of the Dragon, but his vengeful spirit escaped into the Ether, to reform over countless centuries and be summoned back into the mortal world by the chimeric Qilan.
During the Maztican Revolution, about 9,000 years before the opening of the Genesis Portal, Forshad - the last Qilan Emperor - journeyed to the Spirit Isles to lay claim to an ancient artefact of immense power that he intended to use to destroy both the ticapan slaves and the rebellious Qilan that had risen up against him and his master Beelzebub. During his scaling of the Shadow Summit, the spirit of Ao Qin attempted to merge with his soul - but Forshad's own inner spirit resisted him. The two clashed atop the summit, bringing the entire mountain range collapsing with them. After the mount collapsed, they continued fighting for the next thousand years, until the two embattled souls finally merged with each other, turning Forshad into a mighty Dragon Lord. 69 years before the Genesis Portal opened, the combined spirit posed the greatest threat to Maztica since antiquity.
