Biography
Xiao Sheng was a minister to the Emperor of China. He was said to have swallowed a pearl which turned him into a dragon. The tale is recounted in Sir Edward Howe's book on oriental dragon myths.
Temeraire was particularly interested in the story of Xiao Sheng because at times he wished to be human. He also suggested that he would like William Laurence to become a dragon.
