Biography[]
Mo Ye and her husband have been alive for many hundreds of years; "marrying" before the "sea was salt". They claim to have been in the area of China prior to Shanghai being founded. According to Ke Yun, they knew well of Yanluo and his brood's attack against China.
At some point, they had a daughter, Jinfeng. Some years later she met and began dating a Shadowhunter of the Shanghai Institute. Though it was against the laws of the Cold Peace, Mo and her husband supported Jinfeng in her relationship with Ke Yi Tian.
In September 2010, upon hearing of Magnus Bane being stabbed with the Svefnthorn, they ordered him and his friends to come to their shop immediately. Once there, they gave him and Alec Black and White Impermanence—gods whom they claim to have personally turned into swords well over a century before. They claimed them to be keys and that they would help the group get into and out of Diyu. They then quickly hurried them out the door so they could have supper.[1]
