Master Black Tortoise. Always puts the needs of others above his own. He was the most selfless of all the Four Constellations. One time he even stopped a meteor from hitting the Earth... using only his chi.

Biography[]

In The Paws of Destiny[]

A thousand years ago, Black Tortoise was a member of the Four Constellations alongside his companions: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Red Phoenix. Together, they learned of a sacred Wellspring that was supposedly the source of all chi in the universe. However, a dark master with bad intentions had his eyes set on harnessing the chi and using it for his own benefit. After a lengthy battle, the Four Constellations managed to defeat him. Even with the dark master gone, the Four Constellations knew that all the chi in the Wellspring was too tempting for those with evil ambitions, so they hid the Wellspring in the last place anyone would look: under the panda village, in the hopes that four worthy kung fu masters would take up their mantle and answer the call to greatness.
