Madame Yu


The Yu Clan matriarch. She has been in command of the Yu Clan for approximately 30 years.

It is well known in certain circles that along with being the matriarch of the Yu Clan and a major investor in the Unknown industry, Ào-mei has a tight grip on the criminal underworld of Quyan.

History

Ào-mei took the throne of the Yu Clan at age 19, among the youngest of Clan leaders in history, following the assassination of Yu Honghui. The circumstances of her father's death have been debated, but largely considered a positive. Following Ào-mei's ascension to the seat of power, Límíng City has seen broad improvements in the city's economy and infrastructure, as well as a more stable criminal environment.

At age 22, Yu Ào-mei renegotiated her suspended engagement with Yamaguchi Akiko. The two were swiftly wed, and three years later had their first child, Yu Huang. Shortly following the birth of their second child, Yu Atsushi, Akiko fell ill and passed away. Ào-mei has taken no moves to re-marry since the death of her wife.

Relationships

Yu Akiko: Within the public eye, the relationship between Yu Ào-mei and Yu Akiko appeared affectionate. Ào-mei was a strong supporter of Akiko's career through their engagement and marriage. 

Yu Huang: Behind closed doors, Yu Ào-me's relationship with her heir is strained at best. She is physically and verbally abusive towards Huang, both striking and insulting them for their disloyalty to the Yu Clan. Notably, Huang refers to her impersonally, as Madame Yu.

Yu Atsushi: As the more competent of her two children, Yu Ào-mei shows significant favor towards her second child. She is gentle with them in comparison to Huang, and readily praises their work. She places enough trust in Atsushi to have them head important investigations on the side of both the Yu Clan and Serpentine.

Yu Qiang. Little has been seen of Yu Ào-mei and her younger sister. Yu Qiang does not appear to have qualms about keeping secrets from her clan leader and older sister.

Within the Campaign

All of Liutubang have encountered Ào-mei in passing. She issued to them their first job together, to find a missing Yu Chiyako. Of the party, she has the greatest familiarity with Loveless, whom she had initially assigned to the party as a handler to keep them on task.

When Loveless did not return to Serpent Gardens as instructed, Yu Atsushi and Yu Huang were both deployed to bring her in, supervised by Yu Qiang. On her capture, Ào-mei spoke privately with Loveless, scolding her for the escape attempt and placing her in a solitary confinement as they determined her fate.

Later, Cheon Do-Yun and Tamara Bhatt would stand before Ào-mei in order to deliver their experience within the Abyssal Fissure. She paid them for their service, and implied that they should keep the story quiet. What she revealed to the public was a significantly watered down version of the story.
