It's weird. I keep trying to come up with more. Yet there's already so many in the anime and Manga, especially The Hawks, that it is hard to come up with something that isn't already covered. Especially fighting style wise.
Here's another attempt
Name: Ma Zhuo
Race: Human, Male
Origin: Other side of Kush - or far parts of said empire
Appearance: Slanted eyes, dark hair. More specifically, colorful, light custom armor of a unique design. He's an assassin from a village that's suffered horribly from the Kushan attacks. Not a Bakiraka, but with similar skills.

Background: From the village of the Misty Falls (In translation), his people suffered a rather typical fate when the Kushan attacked their empire. They lost in the face of the powerful and demonic forces. Yet not all have given up. Ma Sunzhao has followed the Kushans, waging his own little guerrilla war ever since. Whoever should face them will be an ally. To his own people he would be called a "Xia" - a Knight. A Hero. And he still considers himself such, even if he has to fight his battle alone, until now. (I'd see him somehow joining up around the same time the major Kushan push comes. If PC isn't an apostle in training, or isn't serving Kush... Or with Falconia, if the player is and apostle in training). Alternately, perhaps a prisoner in one of the newly conquered cities? And joins you on being rescued?
Personality: Actually quite friendly. A very loyal companion, the sort of person you want to hang out with. Interesting at the drinking table, free with a laugh and story. And there for you if you need him. He's quite fervently opposed to the Kushans. Yet that is it.
Fighting Style - Some sort of flexible weapon, whether a 3-section staff, or a flying guillotine, or even some sort of 'iron whip'. And if this doesn't seem to look good, then something else more distinctly "Chinese" - perhaps a Chinese style crescent halberd or Guan Do, or even a 9-ring sword. Essentially, just anything that looks exotic. And definitely in the 'fast' fighter fighting style. I'd have him as max athletics and strong power-blow and iron-skin.
