The Jade Emperor
His Celestial Majesty
The Jade Emperor is the supreme ruler of the celetrial court, and ruler of the gods. He is believed to be the first god, though scholars disagree as to whether he was always a god, or was once a mortal who ruleed in the age of antiquity, and was the first to be elevated to godhood.
He is considered wise and fair, and while he rarely intervenes in mortal affairs personally, he sometimes directs other deities to do so. This is perhaps just as well, as in the few stories when the Jade Emperor personallya cts his power is immense, to the point of reshaping the world.
The Jade Emperor appointed the animlas of the zodiac, and it is his approval that is required to elevate another being to godhood.
It is said that the Jade Emperor can see through any object of jade, and so possessing an object of jade ensures that one is always in his gaze, for good or ill.
